Hopefully the Wolves don't play down to the competition as they have so often done in the past. The team looked really good during first two games with the new roster, especially when considering that both games were against top 5 teams.

Damn sucks that Towns is out now,hopefully this isn't a sign to come with this pairing have someone hurt all of the time.For reports going to get his wrist check on more during the all star break which is a bad sign.How dissapointing would it be if they only play one game together this season and that being a road game ? Guess in the long run probably would be okay as the pair won't rack up the L's together and you should get a better lottery pick this off season.

I have a suspicion we're going to see a lot of KAT and/or Russell missed games the rest of the way.

Yup. I suspect we will rest (ie tank) Towns/D’Lo a lot down the stretch. Gives us a better pick plus allows us to get a good look to see who else can be part of our future.

Well with no KAT hopefully Naz will play a good amount also maybe Vanderbilt will play. Too bad they sent Spellman to Iowa today.

Be cool if the starting lineup was accurate for once

Tanking in any pro sport is a tragedy ...

Rozier out and Zeller most likely DNP for the Hornets

Man Beasley smacked his head hard there.

He didn't look dazed or anything but not sure he shouldn't be taken back and checked out.

I really like a lot of what Johnson brings to the team, but dribbling in traffic is not one of those things.

You think we want to tank since acquiring Russell. I think we would absolutely want to do our best otherwise lethargy will set in with everybody.

Juancho has a very efficient free throw routine.
