Oh my... that was the best game I've seen in years, especially the 1st and 3rd quarters.

We fell apart a bit during the 4th but after Brewer's 3-pointer we were good to go. It was an across the board good game for all, but I really have to single out Brewer as he had many critical shots like in the 4th to keep us in the game.

It's amazing what fans can see when THE GAME IS ON TV!!!

C'mon CW! Surely you're pleased with that win!

We can have an 18 win season and still draft at pick #5........

Yeah, AusWolf, that was a really good game. I watched most of it even. We played pretty well. Can't believe how many threes we made. Holy crap.

scores.espn.go.com/nba/boxscore/_/id/300...-vs-dallas-mavericks


The Wolves shot amazingly, and held Dallas to 43%. We definitely "earned" this win to finally break the losing streak in Dallas.

All our starters played well I thought, as did Love off the bench. Ellington too.

Don't have much else to add, as my arm hurts from typing: http://twitpic.com/11l07b


3 game winning streak
I can hardly believe that
Must be all the drugs
Question: "Why do you shoot so many Threes?"

Antoine Walker: "Because there are no Fours."

I will add though, that it would really suck to suffer through this crappy season and then get stuck picking at #5...

I'm so torn. Because we can't tank games and develop a "losing culture." That's just simply not ok.

On the other hand, it just seems so... unfair(!!!) that we are always so bad and always get screwed in the lottery. Just once I'd love for us to win the lottery. Just once.

But is it worth winning the lottery to lose 70 games like the Nets will? When all is said and done, I don't think so.

Tonight was a good game and we need more like these to build for the future. It will help to get guys experience playing hard and winning games.

I didn't get to watch this game, but the box score looks pretty awesome. Three games in a row! I haven't been this happy in since Chester Taylor's run to the Saints' 33.
YWG is a movement that will inspire young men and women to dream bigger and reach higher. Rashad McCants, we will never forget you.

Great win, just a great win.

Who cares about the lottery, Twolves "won" a coinflip the Oden/Durant year over Portland and they ended up winning the lottery.

It's out of their control, watching Brewer make HUGE shots, Flynn with a 19/8, Love a 17/11 and Ellington hitting a CLUTCH 3 is what we should be focused on.

If Hollins keeps this up, he is a steal at just over 2 a year.

Minnesota will have a better record than Dallas in no less than two years!

Mark it!

PS, YWG's comment about Chester made me laugh and cry at the same time.

No truer words spoken. It is more important to develop a winning attitude than to win the lottery. We do not have bad players, we have a bad team. That is what we are seeing change at the present.

Think about the lottery. Winning the top picks means nothing more times than not. There is a tremendous amount of luck involved in the pick. Blake Griffin has not played a game yet. We could still end up with the best pick of the lottery if Rubio is as good as we think he can be. Who would you rather have now, Michael Beasley or Corey Brewer? How happy would we all be if Greg Oden was on our payroll? Look how good Jennings and Curry have become. What pick was Kevin Garnett? How often has a Lebron James been in the lottery?

Like yer attitude, howl!

I'm sure we'd all rather see wins than talk lottery all day. Very nice win over a good Mavs team!

Also, it was cool to read on the homepage that Kahn and Rambis will be heading overseas to see Pekovic play in May and that he could possibly be joining the squad next year! That would be huge!!
How cost a house in Fridley?

Not often but John Wall is in it this year.

Plus think back to last year... the draft had 4 guys that everyone was sure would be good. Throw Thabeet in the mix and the Wolves had one pick in that range and one out of it. There is usually guys to be had after the sure thing list but
Thank you for the baton Mr. Kidd - Pretty Ricky
