Wolves do need to win this game to put the game 2 debacle behind us.
Go Wolves.

Huge game, Wolves need to win it to put pressure back on Memphis. Barring that they need to at least make it very competitive. The Target Center fans are going to be absolutely nuts I'll be there to see it in action. Going to be awesome!

Yeah, going to be wild.
I think they win this one, (game 3) but the "huge" game will be game 4. That's where we absolutely have to win. Ja is going to be bringing it because it wont look good for them going home down 3-1.

I love being in the PO's, but this is not good for my nerves. :pray:

Gotta be aggressive, soften up the defense, get them in a little foul trouble and on their heels. Then continue to attack relentlessly.

9PM Saturday night start with a chance to go up 3-1 should be all of the motivation this team needs. Glad it’s the early game tomorrow at least.

Beat their asses like we did in the regular season, at home

Does this not motivate Dlo? If he has another gear. This is the time to turn it on. The playoffs defines ur legacy. If you cant perform on the big stage then it's time to reflect whether you should be playing bball.

KAT needs to stay out of foul trouble.

He makes so many dumb mistakes that cost the team

Yep if nothing else comes from this series, I hope this finally gives KAT all the evidence he needs to know he has to break this mental barrier this summer. It's really the only major weakness he has at this point, his frustration with the refs is really hurting his game and his team.

Hopefully the further emergence of Ant helps here.

Along with the general immaturity, I feel like KAT perceives the weight of the entire team to be on his shoulders, and he feels that weight immensely. We no longer live and die by KAT as a team, hopefully that alleviates some of the pressure.

Yep. And he thinks he hasn’t committed a single foul ever. Very annoying

Everyone on the Wolves just needs to play as a team and trust your teammates. If the shot is there, take it. If it isn't, pass the ball. Lets get out of the hero mindset of taking over a game to define ur individual legacy.

So I skipped a good chunk of the second half off last game. I was watching with family and after we went down big in the 3rd people were done. I meant to go back but I didn’t have the stomach to watch a meltdown on the DVR. To win tonight we need our big 3 to be our big 3. Ant and Dlo must rise to the occasion and KAT must keep his hands and feet to himself. “Stupid is as stupid does,” and all KAT’s first half fouls were stupid. We need to be hungry and aggressive like game one and we must feed off the crowd tonight. Truth is 3 and 4 are must wins because they keep home court advantage in our favor. Game one we wanted it more, game 2 we froze under the lights. Game 3 we DEFEND HOME COURT.

I think two of these three need to have good games, and the bench needs to be solid.

With the crowd behind them, I think this is very likely in Game 3.
