Season Record: 20-50

Lottery Position: Tied for 5th worst record, 2.5 games "behind."

Did you guys realize that Atlanta is currently the 4th seed in the East? Wow... I didn't think their record was that good. Back-to-back and on the road = lose.


PREDICTION:

Wolves 99 - 110

Vegas has ATL by 12. That's tough, but I would probably put a small amount on the Hawks.

Birds: 113
Dogs: 96

We are so bad and boring that these games are pretty much unwatchable lately.

Oh, and how pathetic is it that guys like Kevin Ollie, Brian Cardinal, Shelden Williams, Craig Smith, Rodney Carney, and Bobby Brown are getting regular and significant rotation minutes!?!? What a joke.

Nice prediction, what a stud I am!

MIN (20-51) 18 18 28 33 97
ATL (42-29) 23 35 23 28 109



Bonk was pretty close too. I'll give you a Howl if you give me one. I don't think anyone else will care since the posting is pretty dead. I guess I don't blame people.

I totally agree. I haven't watched a game in about 2-3 weeks because they are honestly a waste of time at this point. I watched this game for a quarter, got bored, and ate dinner. When I got back there was 4 minutes left in the game and we were down by 20 or so.

Aside from the Cleveland game on Friday and the 4 games I bought tickets for a long time ago, I'm done with this team until the draft. I don't get any entertainment from them anymore.

On Sundays, they have good matinee games on ABC, which is especially cool as I can get HDTV with an antenna. I've been watching those and skipping the Wolves games.

I don't blame anyone that says something like this. Nor do I think it's "being bandwagon" or anything of that nature. In this day and age, if the product is trash (like the Wolves are), you can't expect people to live and breathe it. (And this goes for anything, not just NBA Basketball.)

Thanks for understanding. I think a lot of us are feeling this way, as the forums have become a ghost town recently.

I knew this season was not going to be brilliant, and I never expected us to get to the playoffs, but I was just hoping for some fun basketball as a break from work and school. For the first half of the season or so, that was true for the most part- especially in January. When Al got injured, it should be expected that we would not do as well as when he was playing, but I still expect a good effort from the rest of the guys. I saw that initially, like the 2nd Lakers game at the Target Center. That was pretty fun!

Lately, it seems the team (and coach) have given up, and while I can't entirely blame them because I've been on perceptually losing soccer teams where I played my heart out but had 3-4 pathetic losing seasons, it's not fun to watch. I know the feeling... no matter how determined you are, it's hard to play with a lot of effort when you keep losing. The fact that KG played every game with such intensity during all of those dark years in Minnesota shows how much heart he really had. I don't think I'd be able to do it, especially when the game is your life. A part of me thinks his success in Boston is a reward for all of his work here, but it's still hard for me to watch him play for another team.

Well, it looks like I'm starting to rant. I guess I'm just depressed over this season and I don't see a lot of bright skies ahead for us in the draft or free agency. Wasn't this the 3rd year of the "blueprint for success" or whatever BS the front office tried to shove down our throats? If anything, the injury to Al shows how much of a one trick pony the Wolves are. You'd think after the KG era we would realize the folly of that system.

Cheer up, Wolves fans! I can see the future and it looks bright, scratch that, white.

Your 2009-10 Minnesota Snow Owls:

PG-RUBIO (alas a marketable star and team leader!)
SG-Skinny Miller (at least this keeps his brother at the games for everyone's enjoyment!)
SF-Kyle Singler
PF-Kevin Love
C-Cole Aldrich


I think I just like writing out a starting five that doesn't (shouldn't) exist...and need to get some sleep.

However if we all be good little boys and girls and do our chores/treat others right, maybe God will notice and let us have Rubio...

also, could somebody please snap a pic of skinny's bro?! I'm dying see em!

Bonk - That's all you. I have the utmost faith you can provide a solid pic for everyone's enjoyment...

Yea get on that Bonk

I want to see Mike Miller's drunken ring-wearing brother as well. Make sure to get all 7-9 rings in the picture.

I'll do my best. CWolf is going to the next game with me, so CW - remind me. What a sad sack of a game. I only watched the 1st half, and by watched I mean spent a lot of it with my back to the TV making wonderful Chinese food. But I did catch most of the 2nd quarter. And that was enough to turn me off. Is K. Love the only guy out there that gives a damn?! Even my boy Telfair seems to be looking for his own more and not playing with the same pace & intellect as he once was. These last 11 games are going to be brutal. But I am looking forward to McCraps' homecoming on the last game of the season.

I will remind you.

We only lost by 12 last year, but we were down 58 to 36 at half-time. So yeah.

Bobby Brown played 19 minutes.

Miller took 4 shots in 24 minutes. What a douche.

Wow that was a depressing look at the past.

Maybe we shouldn't dig up anymore game threads haha
