***Official Timberwolves @ Lakers GDT 7 Apr Official***
The 2nd place Timberwolves (53-24) venture to Cryto.com Arena tonight to take on the 8th place Lakers (45-33). Tip off is a late 9 PM.
This game is a great illustration of the quandary the Timberwolves face this season in the uber-tough West - especially in terms of playoff matchups. The Lakers are in 8th place - and who wants to face them in the post-season? They are always a threat with Lebron and AD - and are buoyed further by contributions from D'Angelo Russell's 18 ppg, Austin Reaves' 16 ppg and Rui Hachimura's 13 ppg. This is a dangerous team coming together at just the right time. 9-1 over the last ten games - and tied in the entire league only with the 5th place Mavs for the best record in that span. The spread tonight reflects this. The Timberwolves are still a healthy 7-3, but looked entirely iffy and discombobulated in their bad loss to Phoenix two nights ago. This will be the final regular season meeting between the teams. Minnesota is up 2-1. One advantage we do have tonight is that the Lakers will be on the second end of a back to back.
The Lakers are favored by 3 points.
Injury Report:
Minnesota - Karl-Anthony Towns and Jaylen Clark are Out.
Los Angeles - Nothing has been submitted yet to the league office - but we do know that Jarred Vanderbilt, Jalen Hood-Schifino and Christian Wood are all Out. Update - The official report is now in with these additions. Gabe Vincent is Out. Lebron James is Questionable. Anthony Davis, as to be expected, is nursing something but is listed as Probable. Who knows? As this is the second half of a back to back, maybe the Lakers are going to rest some main pieces.
Cheers Froobs and Go Timberwolves!

Another prime time Sunday game cs lakers. Last time Davis had like 80 and 20 in the first quarter (with Rudy and KA out on top of KAT).
And we went into the garbage funk mode in the 4th on offense. Let’s not do that or whatever the hell Fri night was where they struggle to get 20 pts in a quarter.

Re: ***Official Timberwolves @ Lakers GDT 7 Apr Official***
Refs will fuck us tonight.
I expect a more competitive effort, but I don’t see us winning this one.
If AD plays, I think he has a huge game.
I think that punk Reaves also has a good game.
Can we get a big game out of someone not named Anthony Edwards?
Hopefully Ant wakes up big time tonight. We will definitely need him cooking if we are to win this one.
In the end though, I think we lose tonight.

Still a tough game. Often times, Bron's absence is like a green light signal for the rest of the team to play big.

I agree the Wolves need to take advantage of LeBrons absence. Game plan to stop the Brow and hit some 3s for a big victory.weimy froob wrote: ↑Sun Apr 07, 2024 6:04 pmwolves need to take advantage of this break. time to stack another W. OKC is winning.

defense is very slow again to start. Following the pick for such easy shots by lakers. And wide open threes.
Edit three straight wide open threes. another no show from Ant so far on both ends as well.

Ant needs to cool it a little. I do see how he's not getting calls and getting bumped many times when driving but he's on his way to techs.

Will somebody try for a rebound on either end?
And stop leaving the dribble or cutter wide fucking open after every little pick Davis sets?

just got here. looks like the first half has been a defensive slugfest. only 100 points scored so far with 7 minutes to go.

Defense optional tonight, I guess.

it's not the type of game the wolves want to get into. so far so good--but 48 minutes at this pace might not be so good at the end.
