WCQ Game 4: Minnesota at Phoenix, 8:30 pm Friday (Wolves lead 3-0)

[winforlose]

Can Finch even fly home? Is the knee stable enough?

I’m sure he can.

When players blow a knee they aren’t trapped in the city it happens. Especially because they can’t perform surgery until the swelling goes down. And that can be anywhere from weeks to months.

I buddy of mine just tore his ACL and patella and he can walk fine forwards and backwards. He just has very limited laterally mobility. He’s finally able to get surgery after 4 weeks.

Thanks. This is outside my area of expertise. I was more wondering with the rupture if they have to do something to stabilize it tonight. I suspect the team wanted to fly out tonight. Now I doubt it. Again, this is something I have no knowledge about.

Will be great if he can wait we got the ring before going to surgery !

It’s so unfortunate but in a way I’m glad it’s Finch and not Conley or another one of the rotation players:/ hope it’s not as bad as it seems.

Anyone know why Morris didn’t play at all tonight?

Was thinking the same thing about Morris. He was pretty good when he play.

They only used an eight man rotation. NAW played 31 minutes and Kyle played 17.

We need SloMo to be ready, because he should get a lot more minutes against DEN.

Suns saying smallball plays Rudy off the floor. Grrr.

Heady times for the T-Wolves. Awesome to see you guys dismantling a "superteam"...AE is a joy to watch. Future face of the league.

We played Suns out of the playoffs. We swept them into the history books as our first and only sweep in State history. They can say whatever they want, but they cannot say during a basketball game until 2024-2025.

Time to take care of business against the Nuggets.

Great song, but taking care of business is what we've been doing all year.

Im so happy! I love this guys and would ask Mike to marry me if I was into men:). More seriously, I’ve been through such a tough year battling cancer. Those guys make me cry today. But as KAT say when Rudy congratulated him. We
Got more to do. Go wolves !

Get well.

Playoffs lead to 8 man rotations.

I don’t know if in the history of the NBA any playoff series has ended with the head coach on the injured list by way of dirty foul.

Congrats on the sweep! I think you guys can be very competitive with Denver, and I think you could beat them. However, I think it's going to take great preformances from all your guys and not just a handful.

Wishing you luck!

Seeing how LAL played DEN, I think Wolves have a very good chance beating them. It's going to be the same game plan. Shutdown Murray with Ant, Porter with JMcD, Towns on Joker and let him have his. DEN is not as deep as last year and Wolves are much better than last year. The only advantage DEN have is game 7 is in Denver.

I’d put Jaden or Murray. Let Ant guard Porter. Porter isn’t going to put the ball on the floor. He’s a spot up shooter and transition guy. It would keep Ant away from silly fouls too.

First series win in 20 years, and a sweep to boot.

What I think is wild is how this has performed like you would expect a veteran, playoff tested team to play. Questions about secondary offense outside of KAT and Ant, late game decision making and execution, etc. during the regular season disappeared as they raised their game to another level.

I feel awful for Finch, not being able to be on the court for the win and now facing surgery and rehab.

He was a +10 though...

Correct, Morris was used as just a "Kyle Anderson replacement" if you look back at the entire series.

They might use him more against Denver, but honestly I'm not 100% sure of that.

And after the Nugs finish off the Lakers, LeFlop will announce that he's bringing his talents to Calhoun Beach.

I think this series is a reminder that we can’t just trade KAT, slide Naz into the starting line up, and not see a decline.

Even if you hate KAT’s stray voltage and love Naz’s handle, they are not the same caliber of player.
