No Towns no hope. 4 of our 5 starters and two rotation backups out for this one. Scheduled loss on steroids.

Lol kiss goodbye to our playoff hopes... We will still lose if dlo drops 50, 60 pts tonight.. I'm that pessimistic. I doubt dlo can even drop 20 on high fg% tonight.

Seriously though dlo needs to at least shoot 43-44fg% for rest of yr.. I don't know if that's possible for whatever reasons. He needs to figure it out.

Even with another 5 game losing streak (KAT must miss 4 unless they change the rule as I posted about in which case maybe 3,) our season isn’t necessarily over. We just need to muster another winning streak to get back to around .500. At that point everything comes down to the trade deadline. If we stand pat the franchise is likely doomed, if we trade for some size we are likely the 5/6 seed.

Same thing just happened to Dallas, they didn’t postpone. Who knows maybe we get lucky and some good team craps the bed (could be Boston.)

Same for everyone else. Small injuries that make players miss games are one thing, but Covid is something very different. Some things are bigger than basketball.

Anthony Edwards needs to take note of the way Donovan Mitchell is attacking the Wolves defense right now

Game like this is a good oppuritniuty for guys to get going though. We need a lot better play out of guys like Beasley, Nowell, and other role guys, maybe they find something and the team gets stronger. If Beasley can string together good shooting games, that's huge.

we're giving him room to do it because we're intent on defending the 3.

Down by 7 at the half is pretty damn good all things considered. Beas, Layman and McD are really stepping up. Nowell had it going early but has only played 8 flippin minutes. WTF?

Dlo 2 of 8. He's not that bad of a shooter. Talk about a super slump.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!
