TWOLVES again!

 

[kjironman1]

So the chest injury is shortness of breath. Reports are saying they will do some more test today.

My doctoring from my smart tv was on point

He's never given one before, and that's not gonna be the one to earn the first.

That’s weird. Feel bad for him.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Hope Simons is fine, yeah that sounds unpleasant at the least.

But honestly I LOVED not having Ant or Ayton out there. Would be best if we could just trade them for whatever is out there even just a deadweight 12th man and then let others play.

Timelord is AWESOME out on the court. Yes he could get injured at any moment, just makes ever minute he plays that much more precious. He is the type of vet you want around a young team, not this stupid Grant/Ayton/Ant trio.

Expecting we're going to get a better Twolves effort. Also expect we don't hit lights out on 3 again, clearly was our hottest night of the season.

I'm totally fine with us winning or losing tonight - I just want to see some hustle, effort, and movement.

Buy why? I diagnosed this last night

 

[Strenuus]

Okay, we got off to a rough start and won yesterday.

I think if we miss passes, miss shots, and rebound less, our goal of losing is in sight.

 

[kjironman1]

Because my post verified what you diagnosed. It's the perfect scenario. It's like eating cheese and drinking wine as opposed to cutting cheese and smelling wine.

Are you not a mod? You have mod powers. You can wield them. You should know how much power you have here. You can break the stale mate. I'm betting for a dog bone slypokerdog would do it? Do they make Platypus treats?

 

[Mediocre Man]

Okay, we got off to a rough start and won yesterday.

I think if we miss passes, miss shots, and rebound less, our goal of losing is in sight.

We beat them by 14 points. Had we just shot league average on 3 pointers we would have lost by 7. Had we shot our average we would have lost by double digits. Had they shot their average we would have been blown out

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Timberwolves probably feeling like Portland was before the game yesterday; humiliated by a much weaker team! They will come out strong. Be interesting to see if Blazers can repeat any of the success from last night. At least I had boasting rights over my brother for 24 hours!

 

[Mediocre Man]

Because my post verified what you diagnosed. It's the perfect scenario. It's like eating cheese and drinking wine as opposed to cutting cheese and smelling wine.

Not enough, sorry

 

[kjironman1]

Not enough, sorry

That's It! No more Likes for you! I'll just tell you "Not enough, sorry"

 

[Strenuus]

I'll be watching the winterhawks game instead.

Much much better use of my time today, and the rest of the year!

 

[andalusian]

If the Blazers win this game that will likely tell us more about the TPups KAT trade more than about the Blazers, I think.

 

[Dozer]

Can we get two in a row? I hope so!

 

[Mediocre Man]

That's It! No more Likes for you! I'll just tell you "Not enough, sorry"

I’ll take things Mrs HCP said on her wedding night, for $1000, Alex

 

[illmatic99]

fully expecting get destroyed tonight

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Robert Williams not playing tonight.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Robert Williams not playing tonight.

It’s For Rest. It’s gonna be ok. Plus, he helps us win

 

[Cugel]

Tough tough game tonight. MIN is coming off BTB losses I think. Let’s see if CB can get some amazing bench production like last night’s effort.

fwiw Conley is out tonight I see.

 

[KingSpeed]

I'll be watching the winterhawks game instead.

Much much better use of my time today, and the rest of the year!

Last night was fun. One of the greatest shooting nights ever by any team.

 

[Strenuus]

Last night was fun. One of the greatest shooting nights ever by any team.

So? We won. That's unacceptable this year.

No one remembers these games. We need losses. Cheering for losses, not wins.

Now, let's go out there and have the worst shooting season ever seen!

It's not about this year. It means nothing. We only care about the off-season this year and then 2 years.

Every win this year is awful for the team long term.

Tell that to the fans that paid their hard earned money to attend the game.

When was the last time you went to one?

 

[jlprk]

The only reason to watch is to ogle our best player Robert Williams, but he's not playing tonight. Minny is filled with revenge. Billups' yelling-without-a-system can motivate only so far. I plan an early exit.

Sounds like the key to joyful life there....Enjoy that. The rest of us will just enjoy this simple entertainment of basketball.

 

[1 Eye Jack]

Love the starting lineup but guessing we’ll get jumped early. Future starting lineup
