It should be a good game with Bam, Herro and General Soreness all expected to play.

Go Wolves!!!

Ant ready to go.
ANTHONY EDWARDS

Edwards (hip) is available for Monday’s game against the Heat, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports. Edwards tallied 37 points (14-23 FG), four assists, two rebounds and three steals in 34 minutes during Saturday's win over Indiana, but he continues to battle a lingering hip injury. Given his performance Saturday, it's safe to expect Edwards to have a full workload Monday, but fantasy managers should monitor the All-Star's status until he's completely removed from the injury report.

Only player out for either team is Lowry. He caught case of general soreness from The General. I didn’t know it was contagious, but stranger things have happened I guess.

Wonder how Ant is gonna play tonight with all the off-court stuff

Will be a tough one, Miami is one of the best team at East. Let's see how we handle it, Go Minny!

Last time they were missing Butler, but had everybody else right?

Tough yes, but we're the better team. We should win this. Go Wolves.

Wow, I thought jaden was out. This will be a good test for us. Min favored by 1.5. O/U 217 .

I heard we were a 1.5 point underdog. I guess it changed when Ant and Jaden were confirmed playing.

MIA starts with KLove. I think our big lineup is working. Teams has to start big to matchup with us.

KAT foul on Bam was about as Ticky Tack as you can get. Hate it.

Another first quarter another deficit. It never fails.

I'm actually very surprised we were the betting favorites in this game. Miami is basically healthy.

Turnovers is the death of this team

KGdaBom · Post #17 » by **KGdaBom** » Tue Dec 19, 2023 1:00 am

You know me Mr. Positivity in general and I know we've come back so many times, but 13 down at Miami is going to be very hard to come back from.

_AIJ_ · Post #18 » by **_AIJ_** » Tue Dec 19, 2023 1:00 am

We would be undefeated without these dumb turnovers

TimberKat · Post #19 » by **TimberKat** » Tue Dec 19, 2023 1:06 am

It's another one of those games that you just hope to stay close and may get lucky at the end with a Hail Mary.

Absolute doggy doo offense again against any team that gives a crap defensively.

Not going to be good in the playoffs where every team is playing high intensity defense.

We need more action and set plays when Gobert is out there to make up for the lack of spacing.

Defense isn't much better but we're mostly getting killed in transition because of all the bad offense and turnovers..

Really dumb play and crappy effort.
We're not playing a team missing it's best player who got in so late they couldn't even stop at the hotel tonight.
We should have been down 15 after the last 1st quarter against Indiana with the effort we put out.
Gonna need a hot shooting night again to come back in this one.
