2 Games Left In The Wilderness - Bulls at Wolves GDT
Posted: Wed Feb 05, 2025 2:43 pm
The Wolves are 5-2 since I ventured into the Wilderness. That is better than I expected, yet depressing because the 2 losses came at the start of their 5-game homestand.
There really isn't a "must win" game at this point in the season, but this sure feels close to it. Chicago is not playing any of the players they received in the LaVine trade, and LaVine is not there to torch us (although Coby White is still there!). ANT missing the Wiz game was a factor in that loss, and ANT clearly be subpar didn't help in the Kings game. And both those teams shot the ball incredibly well. Finch cited "defense" as the major contributor to the losses. So, I would expect a better effort there.
As I recall, the Dlo trade came just an hour or two before they played a game on the day before the deadline two years ago. I keep checking my X feed for something happening. It kind of feels like the calm before the storm, although we have had plenty of rough waters already (just not for the Wolves).
