All year this team has been losing games against teams when they were the favorites and "supposed" to win. Those games usually didn't end nicely. Let's hope it's different today and they can take care of business.

That's been an unfortunate aspect of this season for sure, Yosimar. But we've had more success against OkC. I think we were favored against them in all four meetings, and the only one we lost was the game Gobert got ejected early in the game. KAT was missing that game too, and we started Wendell Moore Jr.!

As a couple people have alluded to, this game represents a real litmus test for the KAT/Gobert combo. It may not be fair to judge it on a single game, but here we are in a must win situation playing a team that does not play big. A loss would be a pretty damning statement on a lot of people.

So that's why we are going to win! That, and because Q thinks we will lose! ;)

Wolves got this. Don't forget their playoff adjusted rotation net rating is 2nd in the league. It took a hit with losing McDaniels but will be strong still with Rudy.

I won some money picking the Wolves to beat the spread last game and put some of it back in some parlays tonight that include 4 threes for each of Towns and Ant and a Wolves win.

Just when I thought things couldn't get worse as a Minnesota sports fan... they always do.

Gophers lose the NCAA Championship in disgusting fashion.

In the same night McDaniels punches a wall, Gobert punches a teammate...

I don't see any outcome other than Timberwolves losing, the Wild losing in the first round again, and the Twins doing what the Twins do.

If KAT maintains his cool, I think we will win a close game. If he flails around and gets going with the officials we will lose.
