Really?

OK, I'm giving him all my t-pups. Nice challenge to get in the top 8 now starting with 0.

Orlando is a 5 point favorite. Am I missing something, or does it seem like this should be more? Regardless, I kind of like our chances. We are scrappy on the road and coming off 3 straight losses. Ridnour is out. I dunnnnoooo...

Wolves 92
Magic 96

#1: 19-26

#2: 2nd. Orlando. (56 total points)

Bonus: Tyrannosaurus Pex more points than D12.

I don't know about this one... If we were playing orlando 2 weeks ago, we would've won easily... they're playing better now, and they have multiple guys who can knock down 3's (J-rich, Ryan anderson, Reddick)... K-love seems to struggle against perimeter 4's, so hopefully we can have someone boxing out dwight for defensive rebounds. Hack a dwight and pray the magic don't hit 3's. Keys to the game right there... I don't think they'll miss their threes though

Wolves- 88
Magic- 118

1. 15-24
2. First quarter, Magic

Bonus: Magic make 18+ three pointers

Barea with 5 turnovers and some awful D in the 1st half. Ugh, our D has been pathetic this half.

Big Pecker is looking legit though!

Well yet another game that sucked gigantic freakin balls. My goodness, we are so brutal lately. No defense. Tons of turnovers. Crappy players (SG and SF).... ugh. I don't even want to think about this game anymore.

Barea sucks. Another brutal game since coming back. 4 of 10 and SEVEN turnovers in only 22 minutes. Yuck.

18 turnovers for us, only 9 for the Magic. 6 of 21 from 3 for us, 12 of 30 for the Magic. The end. We lose badly.

At least Pekovic is freakin legit (and awesome). We finally have a Center!

Hey look at it this way, we have 4 positions filled on our team now
pg, pf, c, and coach. That's 3 MORE THAN LAST YEAR!!!

3 more positions, Real SG, SF and 6th man and we are well on our way... whoo linear growth!

But for real. I'd trade everyone on this team cept for former four for latter 3.

sigh..JJ is horrible. Something bad happens every time Rubio hands him the ball to run the offense.

sigh..SGs and SFs are killing us.

I won't be surprise if we lose to the worst team in the NBA Wednesday night.

12 TO's combined..the spanglish sensations, the corner stones of an offense in cardiac arrest!

Please make a trade!!!!!!

We could/should be a playoff team, but we just have a pile of crap at SG/SF. It is so brutal watching us lose all these games we should/could win. Although tonight we never really "should" have won the game against the Magic... I just mean the majority of all the other games we have lost this season.

What the hell Kahn, wake up! He has made a billion trades so far as GM, but he's doing NOTHING this year. Is he hoping we lose games for some reason?

Small forward I can live with i guess.. but a SHOOTING GUARD..theree's nothing we need more...A Kevin Martin type, that when Rubio sets him up for the open jumper, 9 times out of 10 it's going in...That's what the team is missing

Good luck making a trade for a legit SG. I read an article somewhere recently that was discussing how the golden age of the SG ended a few years back (and named at least a dozen awesome 2s from that time), and that we are now in a drought at that position. To me, that says it is a seller's market for teams with depth at that position. So if you want an OJ Mayo--a non-starter but considered talented nonetheless--you better get have something good to give up.

I'm frustrated about the lack of moves too, but consider the fact that no teams are doing anything at this point! And if I had my choice, I'd rather Kahn stand pat and do nothing and go after a FA SG in the spring, than overpay for someone now who is not an ideal fit and be stuck with a bad contract.

Just think if Wes Johnson would have turned into the player he was supposed to be... the Wolves would be a Thunder-in-the-making right now!
