Long time to be out with a sprained ankle. Been over a week. Report i read says it's a grade two sprain and Winslow will be evaluated again in a week. Sounds like he will miss this road trip.

T-Wolves just beat the Nuggets. Their record right now is 17-21. They are currently in the 11th spot 7.5 games back.
With the win against the Pistons the Blazers have moved to 4.5 games back and now have a 19-17 record sitting in the 7th spot. They now do a "4 games in 7 days" trip that should be the last of a grueling stretch.
Would love to see them get a split of these next 4 games. 21-19 at the 40 game mark would keep them right in the mix heading into some home cookin. 10 of the next 11 after the road trip are at home.
 
T-wolves beat Utah even with Russell out. It seems sometimes that they play better when their "stars" are out.
 
For Sale- 1 slightly used Evoca Scout TV receiver with all cables and the upgraded over the air antenna. Powers on and lights up like it's supposed to.

Best offer by 3pm today. Act fast!

I have one too. Almost new. Still receives some local channels and can be used to download apps. Guess I'm the competition.
 
We are 9th offense and 18th (!!!) defensively.
I wish we could defend with the intensity we did earlier in the season. That would make all the difference. Btw, a lot of our recent losses look less awful in the context of those teams heating up e.g. GSW w/o Steph and OKC slapping Boston, and us having an absolutely horrific schedule.

NO! We aren't allowed to use context and perspective! Haven't you learned ANYTHING!?!?!
 
Great pass by Hart, strong finish by Grant over Gobert.
