Let's keep it going! Huge win against Cleveland, but gotta grab an equally as big win against the T-Wolves.

Odd early start time, especially considering we're playing a west team.

Im really looking forward to this game. Always more interesting to see these Western teams i dont get to watch as much, basically only once a year live because i usually can only watch the home games live. Western game start at like 4 am for me or 5 so no go.

Anyway, Kyrie should have a field day here. Hoping Horford can work his defensive magic on KAT.

Most likely a Rest Day. We're playing a Back-to-Back, Fri & Sat.
Things should free-up after that, though. We'll play that London Game, on Jan. 11.

A friend just asked me the other day if I could coach any team in the NBA (not the Celtics) who would I choose. I chose the T-Wolves. I like this roster and the direction of the team. This will be a fun game.

I noticed we struggle a bit with younger teams. So I expect a close game here. But I want all western conference games to be wins. We know we're getting lots of minute from the starters so no trick substitution. If we play our game we should be in it the whole game.

Worried more about the Nets game than this one, to be honest.

Agreed.

Seems like a game we should win but this team is young and hungry. Thibs has them playing pretty well and we really do not have an answer for Towns. That said, Wolves still give up a decent amount of points and our D should be able to keep them mostly in check.

I think we will win but it won't be easy.

This is the first night of a Back-to-Back for us too, though.
