Now that's idiotic.:drink:

If the 5-3 was wrong what do you have them going?

You're taking this April Fool's thing to heart aren't you?

It's idiotic? You said it yourself that every victory without Towns is a surprise.

I think 5-3 is the worst they will do. So what do you have the Wolves going down the stretch without Towns?

So the worst they can do is what you predict?

I gave you more than you gave me, like usual.

You throw out moronic statements, can't back them up with any data, make demands of other posters but refuse to hold yourself to the same standards.

Trolling on 2 threads at the same time on April Fools Day. Seems about right.

Are you like this around your friends in real life or only on line?

Got hurt March 7, but didn't have Surgery until the 12th.

I'm guessing another 10 days until we hear anything.

If he's not 100% in 2 weeks, I'm almost hoping they go without him in the playoffs.

Lots of blame to go around, but this is one of those games where it is frustrating watching McDaniels. He was horrible.

He will determine the wolves fate in the playoffs in my opinion.

If he's brutal, the wolves are toast.

If he plays well, the wolves can beat almost anyone.

Teams will start out leaving him basically open. If he can't make a 3, Ant will be under even pressure.
 




Wolves have their lowest scoring quarter of the season and go into the 2nd Quarter down 23-16.

They have now missed 13 straight 3 pointers.
 


With 23 seconds remaining in the 1st Half Edward's gets his first 2 points. From the free throw line.

Wolves though make a big comeback in the 2nd Quarter and go into Half Time up over Houston 54-45.
 

Edwards comes back to life in the 3rd and the Wolves hold service heading into the 4th with that same 9 pt margin, 81-72.

Wolves beat Houston 113-106 on the back of a great 2nd Half by Edwards.

After winning 11 in a row Houston has now lost their last two. The Wolves have won 5 of their last seven.

Wolves host Toronto, who lost to the Lakers tonight, tomorrow night.
 

After Sunday's loss to the Bulls, Anthony Edwards said he had some tired legs. As Tuesday's game against Houston unfolded, it didn't look like a day of rest helped that situation.

But Edwards' legs were working just fine when the Wolves needed it most.

Edwards struggled to shoot all night, but he exploded for two dunks late to cap a 113-106 win over the red-hot Rockets, who had won 11 of 12 coming into the night.

Edwards had just two points in the first half and didn't make a field goal until there were 6 minutes, 16 seconds remaining in the third quarter. He finished with 21 points on 5-for-16 and went his third consecutive game without hitting a three (0-for-6).

NBA standings

But he saved his best for last, exploding for a dunk with just under a minute to play to seal a game that became close in the final minutes. Houston had cut a 98-83 Wolves lead to 101-100 before Mike Conley hit a floater and the Wolves got a stop at the other end.

On the next possession, Edwards found a crack in the defense and drove down the lane for an authoritative dunk that put the Wolves up 105-100 with 50.9 seconds to play.

He then capped the night with a steal and another dunk and went 11-for-11 at the free-throw line.

For the rest of the night, his teammates picked him up.

BOXSCORE: Timberwolves 113, Houston 106

Naz Reid awoke a slumbering offense in the first half on his way to 25 points and six rebounds while the bench took over from there. Kyle Anderson provided a spark late in the third and early in the fourth with 13 points while Jordan McLaughin stayed hot from the outside with 11 points and 3-for-4 from three-point range. Jalen Green had 26 to lead Houston.

Wow another surprising win without KAT!

The Wolves are now
12-4 .750% - without KAT, and Rudy for 2 of the losses
41-19 .683% with KAT

These wins are so surprising!!

These pathetic first quarters will not work in the playoffs.

I just don't get it.

Ant and Jaden seemed to be doing everything to give this one to Houston in the 4th. We were pulling away and then...five missed 3's in a row and a few turnovers. Luckily, Houston couldn't stop fouling Ant. Great games by Naz and Anderson.
 


I don't mind being wrong about players as long as they are "our" players and I'm wrong about them sucking. McLaughlin is now shooting 51% from 3 and 48% overall on the season. I had him pegged as a decent third-stringer and nothing more. Dude is on fire and is a big reason why losing Kat hasn't really hurt them.

Taking a look at Toronto's roster might be why Finch is resting him.
