Give him all the time he needs. He's a competitor and wants to play I'm sure but he's the most important part of our team so we gotta make sure that knee is good to go.

I wonder if he starts over Bjelica.. I hope not. That lineup has been going great the past two games

I don't know if this is a good thing.

Jimmy sitting got off set by jamal sitting. Jamal and dieng have been our worst rotation guys this year by a healthy margin with regards to net rtg.

Jamal has got hot and won games 3x, but sucked in pretty much every other game.

Yeah, we should sit Crawford for the rest of the year. Bazz makes much more sense to add to the rotation.....

Wolves are just abusing Nurkic's lack of willingness to challenge those shots from just outside the paint

Wow, Nurkic has been really underwhelming so far
Thriving on mediocrity since '89.

Interesting quarter so far. I like the aggressiveness we are playing for offensively. We have decisive, aggressive Teague so far tonight which is nice to see.

Bjelly is playing some good help defense.
