It’s time for Basketball: Spurs at Timberwolves

Welcome to the Game Thread. Veterans of the Game Thread know how we do things around here, but for all you newbies we have a few rules. Our community guidelines apply and basically say be cool, no personal attacks, don’t troll and don’t swear too much.

Currently the Spurs have a winning record and if the Play-Ins started today, they would be in the 10th spot, facing the New Orleans Pelicans a shot to win a playoff spot. Obviously, it’s way too early in the season to look at the standings, but it’s an interesting feeling of deja vu to see that again.

Tonight they face the Minnesota Timberwolves, who are adjusting to playing a twin towers lineup with Karl-Anthony Towns and Rudy Gobert, and tonight would be a good opportunity to steal a win while they’re still figuring it out. The Utah Jazz showed that they can be beaten with defensive intensity and high energy play, and the Spurs are another team that should give them trouble on that front. Whatever happens tonight, it will be something that both teams can build on when they play again on Wednesday in the same arena, as the league is scheduling consecutive games in the same arena more often to reduce travel.

Game Prediction:

KAT will celebrate way too long after a dunk while the Spurs are running it back for an easy 5 on 4 basket at least once during the game.

One final word:

Go Spurs GOOOOOO!!
