Bogi getting abused

When was the last time he played a back to back?

Give AJ some of those min tonight if he cant get it going....

[JayBirdHawk]

Trae limping  

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Trae got knee clipped from behind.

I've never seen that before.  Just a bang of the knee though.  Not serious, even though he's favoring it a little.

I'd take him out right now and ice it down.

Collins is on in this 2nd quarter.

Hawks staying right there, which is great.

[TheNorthCydeRises]

How was that not an offensive foul on Gobert?  Capela was there for almost a full second and didn't move.

[Peoriabird]

Quietly John is playing a lot better.  Guess who is quiet!

[JayBirdHawk]

Good defense by Hunter then the score.

[Peoriabird]

The 2 guys hawksquawk picks on the most looking good.  Where you at @terrell?

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Hunter very aggressive on that last drive.  Got in the paint and shot that with a purpose.

Need a lot more of that in the 2nd half.

Trae looks to be about 80% speed.

Like I said, I'd take him out right now and ice the knee down throughout the half.

I can't figure why MIN record is so bad.

Towns missed 51 games. That's a lot. Then they also had DeAngelo Russell.

[JayBirdHawk]

It's getting away. Close strong guys.

I buy the Russell thing more than the Towns thing.  They're fine with or without towns. 

[Peoriabird]

This fing McDaniel is a problem

[JayBirdHawk]

Stop turning the ball over!!!

[Peoriabird]

John looks like himself this game

So you are here!  LOL!

[JayBirdHawk]

We need Bogi to find his shooting touch and we need to get Bey some shot attempts, only 1 attempt.

 

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Good job by Collins at the end there.

Could've been a lot worse.  Only down by 5.

 

Observations:

• Hawks - 57% FG - 50% 3FG ( 6 made 3s ) - 89% FTs ( 8 made FTs )
• Excellent offense, but have 8 turnovers already.
• T-Wolves - 50% FG - 56% 3FG ( 9 made 3s ) - 83% FT ( 10 made FTs )
• Trae: 16 pts - 4 asst ( 4-10 FG . . 6-6 FT ) . . . but he's ( -9 ) for the game.  That's what I always watch.  If Trae finishes + for the game, we'll win.  If he doesn't, the bench will have to come up HUGE.
