A couple interesting remarks - some reporter said Wolves look more structured. Finch- We are calling more plays and guys understands better, also calling timeouts to clam things down. Two things we said on here all year long.

I feel sorry for Booker, who has to answer questions after a loss like this. I supposed that is part of being a player that we don't talk about much. I probably would just say "we suck all night and can't figure it out until the 4th quarter and it was too late" than walk off.


Booker tried to take Karl out at the legs tonight. This is worse when you consider that off the court Karl has called Booker one of his best friends. When you chop block your best friend and get blown out anyway, you deserve what you get.

Also, the expressions of Booker and Ant for the front page of the clip tell the whole story.

If he does return this week it would be an astonishing recovery post-meniscus surgery, which is magnified when considering that 76ers star Joel Embiid missed two fulls months after undergoing surgery to repair a torn meniscus.

I know Towns desperately needs the team to be successful in the playoffs to change the national opinion of him, but he has been a “Wolves first” guy for a while. I believe I heard during last night’s broadcast that Finch said he’s already at 85%, and lost 15 pounds.

These last 3 games are the best Twolves basketball ever in the history of the franchise (as far as I can remember). The only one come close was game 7 win over SAC and game 82 vs DEN.

The Sam cassell year was something else, enough reminiscing though. At least we are finally relevant..long time coming.. loved ant's comments in regards to not breaking their will in the presser, and wants to go into game 4 harder than any of the first games..

There is a lot of advantage to wrapping up in 4 as well. Denver is likely wrapping up their series, though I think we are all pulling for the Lakers to extend the series as long as possible.

Funny. I was just thinking how legitimately good the Lakers would be with Conley and NAW instead of DLo.

How the hell did we win that trade so badly when everyone thought the key pieces were D'Lo and the Lakers 1st round pick?

Not only did we get the 2 best assets in the trade, but somehow the Lakers and Jazz also gave us three 2nd round picks...

I thought getting DLO off the team was the big win. Imagine getting Conley, NAW and the picks to secure Leonard Miller as a bonus. That was an amazing trade.

that was boring game to watch. idk if it's just watching the suns or the just the game itself. i don't even think the fans were really into it.
