Phenom is correct about the Wolves availability being a strength!

Tonight's game is a one-night-stand before heading on the mild 4-game East coast trip, so ANT ought to be available (you're welcome Cool ). Although, both ANT and Conley are listed as Questionable, along with Shannon listed as OUT with his foot injury. I suspect Shannon will be out awhile...

There is no excuse for the Wolves not dominating tonight and finally generating some garbage time for young guys. NAZ and Bones have established themselves as the 6th and 7th men in the rotation, and sharing about the same number of minutes. I assume that means Clark is the clear 8th man -- he keeps getting opportunities to latch onto that 8th spot.

So, for that half of Finch's 8.5 man rotation, does Rob get some run? Or does Finch turn to someone else?

I'm going to challenge your statement that there's no excuse for not dominating tonight. Tim. After a terrible start to the season the Nets have won 3 of their last 4 games by 45, 15 and 8 points. And they get 20-point scorer Cam Thomas back tonight after missing a month. But the real reason for their recent success is that Michael Porter is having an all-NBA season...check out his stats!

On our side as you mentioned TJ is out (no big loss) and Mike might be out for rest. More importantly, Ant seemed to be in a lot of pain Thursday with his shoulder. I think he'll play, but will it hamper him? I think this game might be a lot closer than the 10 1/2 spread.

I want to see Jaden on Porter tonight...I think that's a favorable matchup for us.

I also want Clark to play more...Finchy only played him 5 minutes against Denver, and we dropped to 4-11 when he plays less than 14 (15-0 when he gets his 14 minutes!).

This must be a 3 quarter game.


By the 4th quarter, the goal is for Ant to not have to be out there.

I was assuming Mike would sit tonight, but apparently both he and ANT have been upgraded to AVAILABLE. We'll see how the minutes are shared between Mike and Clark.

A quick google search on Shannon's injury indicates he could be out quite awhile...

Usual starting 5. Both Freeman and Rocco will be sitting in street clothes. I wish they would dress Rocco so there would be a chance to see him play. Oh well.

Ugh! It already seems we are not taking this game seriously…

It seems every game I watch lately, the more I am done with Randle. It was important to resign him to maintain that salary. But I am ready to find something else for that salary.

NAZ and Bones sub in first as expected. Clark in before Mike. I like it (as he commits an and-1 foul…).

I’ve felt this way for a while.
