This five game road trip probably will not be starting off on the right foot as the Timberwolves will face the Phoenix Suns without both Ricky Davis and Kevin Garnett. Garnett, suspended for his actions against the Detroit Pistons, will rejoin his teammates in Utah while Davis’ status is uncertain.
With the loss of their two highest scorers, the Wolves now face one of the best offensive teams in the league. Who will Coach Casey insert into the starting lineup tonight? Some reports state that we possibly may see Rashad McCants for the first time this season, although that is hard to believe until it is seen.
Even with Garnett and Davis this would have been a tough game, but without them it probably won’t be pretty. Hopefully, the players who are in Wolves uniforms tonight can find some heart and fire and grind it out. What an opportunity for the rest of the team to make a statement to the NBA world then by beating the Suns in Phoenix without Davis and Garnett?
Nice idea? Yeah.
Likely? No
