***Official Wizards @ Timberwolves GDT 9 Apr Official***
The 14th place Washington Wizards (15-64) hobble into Target Center tonight to face the 1st place Timberwolves (54-24). Tip off is at 7 PM.
The Wizards are beat up, they are jostling for ping pong balls, only Detroit has a worse record than they do, and they are on the second half of a back to back. Still, my lizard brain is screaming TRAP GAME! First and foremost, considering our opponent and the fact that we face Denver tomorrow night - there's a big concern we could be totally looking past Washington. Secondly, for as bad as the Wizards have been this year - 4 of their 15 wins have come in the last 10 games. And finally, Jordan Poole has come around and is averaged 21 ppg over that stretch - plus Deni Avdija continues to put his game together in a very complete way. Over his last ten, he's averaging 19.7 ppg/ 9.5 rpg/ 4.5 apg. The Timberwolves really need to win this one. We are fairly set for the playoffs - but you don't want to limp in, you want to enter them on fire. Minnesota beat the Wizards 118-107 in our only other meeting this season.
The Timberwolves are favored by 16.5 points.
Injury Report:
Washington - Tyus Jones, Marvin Bagley III, Landry Shamet and Bilal Coulibaly are Out. Kyle Kuzma, Richaun Holmes, Johnny Davis, Anthony Gill and Tristan Vukcevic are Questionable.
Minnesota - Karl-Anthony Towns and Jaylen Clark are Out.
Cheers Froobs and Go Timberwolves!

Maybe it's just me, but why do we keep getting Denver in back to back games. They are playing B2B games as well, but it seems like it's set up in their favor. Well at least it's our last road game of the regular season.
We need to win 2-3 more games IMO to keep the top seed. Then we will be resting up while whoever we play will be beat up a little.

It is kind of bullshit scheduling to have us play @phx, @LA, come home, then B2B on the road @denver.

Win this in an empty the bench snoozer, then all but lock up the one seed tomorrow. I believe we have the tie breaker over Denver already regardless of tomorrow.
Denver also doesn’t care about their seed I don’t think so it’s really the pups for the taking.

It's annoying, but I think last year was the opposite where Denver played us 3 times on a back to back.Mplsfonz wrote: ↑Tue Apr 09, 2024 9:37 am Maybe it's just me, but why do we keep getting Denver in back to back games.

How come I see the Wolves coming out flat footed, most posters screaming at their keyboards for the first 2/3 of the game, and then barely squeaking out a win?
Hopefully it's like two games ago, and not like some of the bullshit games they've played.

I think we easily destroy Washington tonight.
Generally, I would be more hesitant to say such a thing but the Wizards suck so bad that even I am confident we win this one in a laugher.
122-93 us.

in the last couple weeks, they've beaten the Bucks, the Bulls, the Raptors and the Kings. Kispert, Avdija and Poole combined for 82 points on Sunday night - all three should be in the lineup tonight.

I hope we do blow them out. We need to have a little rest for Denver. To me we need that game.

Injury Update - only Johnny Davis and Anthony Gill are available from the opening post injury list for Washington. It looks like Kuzma, Coulibaly, Bagley III, Holmes, Vukcevic, Shamet and Tyus are all Out. At this point, I'm trying to determine who their bigs might be. Avdija will likely be at PF, Kispert at the SF, Poole either PG or SG, Jared Butler, Davis and Gill, Patrick Baldwin Jr. - they have virtually no bigs. Anthony Gill at 6-8 230 might be the starting C. Wow. The league has to be a little embarrassed about this.

KAT officially cleared for full 5 on 5 practice. That's good. Hopefully, he's not too far out.

The good news is these subpar teams we usually start off slow against won’t be in the playoffs so there’s that I guess
