the wolves just lost to the raps in toronto tonight so they have to fly home and play a back to back. they have one of the worst records in the league. BUT... they are an extremely athletic team, play very fast and get to the foul line a lot. they have a lot of guys that can score well (towns, lavine and wiggins) and decent role players as well.

it would suck falling below .500

go pistons!

Better win this

I hate to call a game like this a must win, but if we lose some guys are gonna have to take a long look in the mirror. No excuse for dropping a game like this.

If they shoot like they did in Charlotte they could lose anywhere. It seems reasonable they won't likely do that twice in a row? It's another chance to keep things moving forward, but I'm not sure about must win with Reggie back only a few games. Let's hope he's feeling livelier this evening. I get the point that getting them on a back to back after a hard fought game in Toronto is a plus, even if it's on the road. Wolves have some impressive young talent. Let's hope we don't just find them sharp and all practiced up after last nights game.

Wolves will fall apart defensively at the end. We just have to keep it close going into the 4th and then lock them down.

Getting teams on their 2nd of back-to-backs is more advantageous when they won the first than when they lost the first.

I don't want to see Detroit below .500 for the rest of the season. Building a winning record starts now.

A road game against a bad team should be a win, especially when the team is coming off a road loss the night before. Winning teams don't lose these types of games. No excuses.

Will PG13 be available for this game or does he still need to have his physical?

If he is out, then it will be a tough game. If he is ready to play, game will be a massacre!!!

I really thought the Wolves would be better. They got injuries?

Sad thing is I'm expecting a L. We're very very bad defending big men who can shoot.

Wouldn't be to surprised with a loss, but Towns would have to be why. It would have to be him hitting a lot of 3's I would think too. I think SVG will be smart enough to put Low Key on him if that starts happening.

Anyone who watched the Charlotte game check the rims out this game. I'm guessing they won't look as tight as Charlotte's did

Wiggins averaging 30 points off no days rest. KCP need to put in work today

So you can get a blocking and a charge in same play?

Dre looking like he brought it

KCP might be our best passer

What's happening to the Reggie's touch???? He looks like Ricky
