    There was a full arena and a great crowd for the Wolves - Rockets game on Thursday , which was a lot closer than the 127-114 final score shows.

    It was neck-and-neck game until about 4 minutes left.

    The Blazers have to be ready for Ant Edwards to take over. Also, Mike Conley was causing a lot of problems slicing into the paint and passing out to 3-point shooters.

    Rookie Jaylen Clark scored 17 points off the bench with 4-6 made on 3-pointers.

    So, they just decided that they were already going to lose anyway and wanted to give themselves an excuse?

    Crazy so many wolves are out.... Would think with our recent hot play we should be a big favorite.

    Ant (41 points with 15 free-throw attempts, 6 assists and 7 rebounds) and Conley (16 points, 5 assists) were huge in their tough win over Houston on Thursday.

    Only way this should be a loss is if the Blazers lay a big egg.

    We lost by 40+ to both Memphis and Utah when they had 3rd string players starting. So hoping we don't overlook anything but who knows.

    The Wolves have kind of a brutal schedule coming up, several against WC playoff teams ahead of them in the standings.

    They play OKC three times!

    Maybe they decided to give some players some rest before that stretch.
