Hmmmm. Not too much to say about this game except that we can't compete with Denver. Especially not on the road. Lose.


PREDICTION:

Wolves 93 - Denver 109

I remember last year when we went to Denver...Craig Smith played amazing and we won a real tight game with so much passion between KG, Ricky, & Craig. It was an awesome and inspiring game. We went to 2-0 and I was sooo excited for the next 80 games....


....and now here we are, a year later.....

Denver 200
Wolves 50

Hahahahaha

I second Bonk's score.

Also...

Marcus Camby is going to have 12 pts - 35 rebounds - 10 assists - 12 blocks

AND
Mark Madsen hits a three point half time buzzer beater.

Remember when Wolves/Thuggets was a like a prizefight? How things have fallen apart...

I'm sure their fans would laugh in our faces if we tried to consider this a \"rivalry.\" It really is pretty sad.

OOOH!!! YOU GOT OUR SCORE RIGHT....They scored 10 less points, though.


We held the 2nd straight team under 100....Baby-steps, people...




Oh and Antoine had his best game to date as a T-Wolve. Nice bounceback from his worst outing last game....AND IF YOU NOTICED, HE CAME OFF THE BENCH TO DO IT! He's a SUPER-SUB these days, College-Wolf. Let's hope Wittman keeps him in that role. He was great today.

Al was a beast again but he deserved to get the ball more....and the reason he didn't brings this conversation into this :

RASHAD McCAN'T-SHOOT

IF ONLY McCANTS DID *NOT* SUCK TONIGHT!! ALL HE NEEDED WAS TO MAKE A FEW MORE BASKETS HERE AND THERE AND WE MIGHT HAVE PULLED IT OFF!! GRRRRR!!

According to Britt, McCants' arm is hurt. That might have something to do with his shooting, but if you know you're hurt and can't shoot, pass the ball!

That was an exciting game. We didn't fall apart in the end. We just lost.
Green looked absolutly lost at all times on the floor.
I was watching the game with my daughter and she wanted to know who the heck that dork was on the floor (Madsen).
I was sticking up for McCants earlier but I guess we just have a streaky player on our team, too bad.
The man we hated the most at the beginning of the year is the man whose helping the most now (Jaric).
How come Anthony Carter was a scrub when he played for us and is a started for Denver?

I can't help it, I like watching these guys. I don't think we have to wait till next year to wins games. I think we will start winning this year. Don't quote me on this though.

\"The man we hated the most at the beginning of the year is the man whose helping the most now (Jaric). \"

>>> I never thought there would be one player who fans despised more than Toine. wow! Just....wow.

Derok, if McCants's arm is hurt, THEN WHY DOESN'T THE COACHING STAFF SIT HIM FOR A GAME TO GET IT HEALED??? It's not like we're playoff-bound or anything....

That's a very good question. Or tell him not to jack up 15 shots in 25 minutes.

I agree though, just sit him out a few games. That makes too much sense though.

Heck yeah, that's how I roll.

Antoine played really well. If he was still in the Elimination Game I would have give him some positives. He is quite good off the bench, I do agree with that. Nice to see him playing well for us. Maybe he really will become a mentor for the young guys. Wittman shouldn't start him though, then he starts pressing because he thinks he neds to do too much.

Al was awesome, people not giving him the ball was not awesome.

McCants sucked a big one. He was horrid, even by his standards.

Nice to see my boy Gomes do well. He was deadly outside the arc.

Once again the free throw disparity is ridiculous. Anthony mentioned it in his article, but HOW do we have 31 fouls to their 20? Lame.

The game was ours to win. Shrug, oh well.

I like watching them too. They are refreshing (for the most part.) The wins don't matter, but it's kinda frustrating having all the media rag on us because of our record. I don't think we'll start winning this year. I wouldn't be surprised if we end with 10 wins.

I wish we didn't have McCants. Can't we trade him with Jaric or something? I'd give McCants away to dump Jaric's remaining years.
