I'm not expecting another miracle on hardwood but it would be nice if we could make some trouble for Thibs.

With Naz back the question is do you play him and Knight together. I would.

Suggested starting lineup Beverly, Beasley, MCD, Knight, Reid. 5 minutes in Beasley out for Nowell. Then at 8 minutes Beasley in for Beverly. Run a 3 big rotation with Moose and try to use as much size as possible tonight.

KAT & Okogie are the only players from Thibs era that are still with the team right?

I feel like we’re playing with house money since we won the Celtics game when we were expected to lose both of these games, but these 2 coming back is huge.

I think we’re going to see Knight/Monroe at the 4/5 tonight.

Bev in for Jmac is huge too; felt like he was the weak link in our already depleted starting 5

I would not mind seeing another east coast team's fanbase implode if we win this one. :lol:

Yes, Okogie played his first half season under Thibs.

Crazy huh? Except for KAT and Josh, Rosas got rid of every other Wolf in his first year!

We got a better record than New York? Surprising seeing how good they were last season.

I am not optimistic as it is a B2B but if we can somehow scrape through a win here, then I don't think Wolves could have realistically navigated through this covid crisis any better (on court results wise, with losses coming in away matches at Jazz which is a v.tough fixture anyways even if Wolves are healthy)....we'll probably lose next match at Jazz and most of the players should be back for the match against Lakers.

I kind of look at it the same way, although I feel the BOS win was used up to pay for the DAL loss.

I hope last night’s win makes the team loosy goosy! And that after they win, they take Greg Monroe out for a Juicy Lucy.

Why in gods name would you start JMAC with Bev? You have two PGs stagger them. Meantime start Naz at the 5 (unless he is just super minute restricted.) Even then start Monroe with Knight and play big with MCD at the 3.

Nowell has been in game for nearly 5 mins but hasn't taken a shot or too many touches
