***Official Pistons @ Timberwolves GDT 27 Mar Official***
The miserable Detroit Pistons (12-60) slink their sorry butts into Target Center tonight to face the Timberwolves (49-22). Tip off is at 7 PM.
Detroit has the worst record in the league - and look determined to keep it that way heading to the draft. Lots of "injuries" lately in quotation marks. Something really wack-a-doodle will have to happen for us to lose this game. Let's hope the motivation to get to the 50 win mark is enough to keep the Timberwolves interested tonight. We continue to plug along in good fashion without Karl-Anthony Towns - going 7-3 over the last ten. The Pistons have lost 7 straight.
The Timberwolves are favored by 13 points.
Injury Report:
Detroit - Simone Fontecchio, Ausar Thompson, Taj Gibson, Isaiah Stewart and Standley Umude are all Out. Cade Cunningham is Questionable. Jalen Duren has been upgraded to Probable after sitting out a few games with back spasms.
Minnesota - Karl-Anthony Towns and Jaylen Clark are Out. Rudy Gobert and Anthony Edwards are both still listed as Questionable. Daishen Nix is in Iowa.
Cheers Froobs and Go Timberwolves!

I think this is a game you start to rest some players. I know Ant will pout and refuse, but we will need everybody as healthy as can be come first round.
Also you get those backups some game time so you know what you have if you need them. We are in a good situation so no need to derail our postseason for a few wins here.

I think this could be a game for Monte and Jmac to share most of the PG duties - let Mike take a breather. With the way those two bench PGs have been playing lately, we should be fine.

Yup, Garza should get Rudy's minutes, Let Moore get Ant's minutes, I wouldn't mind seeing Nix get a little clock too.somuchyummy wrote: ↑Wed Mar 27, 2024 1:50 pm I think this could be a game for Monte and Jmac to share most of the PG duties - let Mike take a breather.

If we can't beat this team with our bench, then we are going to have trouble in the PO's.

Regarding rest…I disagree. Rest the final week, if appropriate. Lessen work in practice….keep rotation sharp and win games. Do their job right and the rotation should still be on line at 6 minute mark of 4th.

With the whole teams attitude on rest, especially Ant and Mike, I expect to see normal people and minutes

Hoping to see another solid outing by Monte Morris tonight.
Really hoping he's a player the Wolves will be able to retain.

Re: ***Official Pistons @ Timberwolves GDT 27 Mar Official***
Well we can disagree. The final week is when you start to ramp up. By then you should be healed enough by then. Ant's finger is still hurt, Rudy still seems to be clutching his chest sometimes, Naz is wincing because he's on a sore ankle and Mike is just older. Again, lets get some of the benchwarmers in a game like this in case they are needed next month.
Remember Thibs used to run his players into the ground, then the PO's started and they had nothing left.

i think this is a good time to get some guys some rest. Maybe play Mike the first quarter just to keep the rust off. That's 36 minutes then left for Monte and Jmac to share - which sounds perfectly fine.

@WolvesRadio
Cade Cunningham (left knee) WILL START tonight vs. Wolves. Notable because it's his 1st ever game vs. Minnesota -- he had missed the previous 5 meetings due to injury. Only other team he has yet to face? Spurs (0 for 5).

If the wolves finish six and five, they will have won 55 games this season.

A sold out Target Center against a Detroit team that nobody is buying a ticket to see is a a beautiful thing.
Minneapolis is always a little bit better when the Wolves are creating a buzz.

horton just got done saying what i've been thinking for awhile. you've got to move on from a missed call. it happens. sometimes it benefits you. Ant was upset that they missed a call on who the ball went off--but jaden had to have traveled before that ball went out of bounds. just zip it and get back and play some defense. especially early in the first quarter. if someone's going to work the refs let it be finch. who actually did some venting on that same play.
