FNG Made Me Do It - Thunder at Wolves GDT

Post by 60WinTim »

He didn't want to take the L, and since I've been racking the Ls up, what's one more?

Sure seems like a scheduled with the Wolves getting back in the wee hours of the morning and the Thunder already here. Four more games until the trade deadline, with tonight being the only home game. TC gets one last look at the current roster construction playing against the best team in the league. Somehow, this game seems kind of important on a number of levels...

Yeah, sorry I didn't have time to start today's GDT, Tim...I, um, had to wash my hair.

Sure does sound like a scheduled loss, and you have to wonder if Ant is even going to play after going 38 last night. But then again, there is some hope. OkC is really banged up...I think they are going to be missing Jalen Williams, Caruso, Wiggins and maybe Wallace. That's a lot of defense. And further, we seem to play them completely even during the regular season...we split 4 games last season and each team has a home win this season. This one could be closer than we think.

This team seems to really dislike OKC and wants to beat them. I'm assuming they bring it tonight and it might help convince TC to stay away from major trades if they perform well.

I think a trade is still going to be made. The question is what magnitude of trade. We have to at least upgrade the guard position off the bench. The Conley-Bones-Clark trio is really weak relative to where we want to go.

Yes but those players won't be of much consequence tonight. Julius, Jaden and Joan will be able to make an impression, though.

Looks like Ant is in tonight. Mike, TJ and Giannis are out, and Rudy is questionable with a sprained ankle. Several guys out for OkC.

TC told us at the stakeholder meeting that her believes we match up really well against OKC. The games thus far this season seem to support his view. So I don’t think TC views this game as a scheduled loss. Ant is playing. OKC is a bit banged up. We’re playing at home. This is a game the Wolves absolutely want to win and should win.

Well, let's see how we fare once again against the clutchers, grabbers, and foul grifters. Could be fun. Of course we may not have everyone 100% checked in with the trade deadline looming, so I'll be glad when that's behind us, however it pans out.
