SloMo shouldn't be playing any significant minutes...especially alongside Gobert

Game 3 was so bad that I don't know what adjustments Wolves should make other than player better, shoot better, and don't let Murray get comfortable. We need to win like 117-112, so offense definitely needs to be better and better ball movement.

Must win game.

According to me who wins this game will win the series..
"...I want to compliment him, we all expected that he would take up the game, we have prepared the plan race on him, we have doubled. And, as usual, he did what he wanted..."

I forgot the NBA draft (LOL - “LOTTERY!”) was right now, and it’s more reason to love this season.

It is? How random. Had no idea. But our pick choices not worth keeping track of anymore (thankfully) past 2 seasons, so haven't bothered to keep track.

Right. Totally crazy Lottery. Pistons fall out of the top 4 to 5.
Spurs get 4
Rockets 3
Wizards 2
Hawks get 1st pick with only 3% chance.

Ahhh that makes more sense. Lottery allways low key. While the draft has big fan faire leading up to it for a week or two.

Yes and all the commentary saying Trae Young is gone. Everybody hating on Young, but he's still pretty damn good. Doesn't fit the Wolves Defense first identity. I'd like to get DeJounte.
We should move this convo to around the NBA.

I am really nervous heading into this game. There's a low chance I'll stay up and watch it, though. Hopefully we can manage to not let them get into their rhythm early and regain momentum in this series.

I'm looking at your location in hieroglyphs. Do you live in Turkey or Egypt?

I'm guessing he is Danish or Norwegian.

That style of letters is indicative of Norway or Denmark?

Yes the first Æ letter in his location you may think is hieroglyphics, is a danish, Norwegian and Icelandic vowel letter.

The phrase "Æ ha en ståkukk" there on location I think means "have a look/looker". In Swedish (I'm from sweden), it sounds more dirty in first sight lol

In a little over an hour the game will tip off. A game that may well determine if this is the year a major Minnesota Men's team finally gets the gold ring or if it's going to be the Wolves version of Gary Anderson's missed FG leaving us all in heartbroken agony. Way more than a basketball game being played tonight.

Been a very bad weekend for me outside of basketball. Would really like to see us win this one. I know they won’t win it for me, but even if they win it for Mike or Finchy I am good with that.
