Holy crap, the 4th quarter just started and we are dominating! Up 20 points and the boxscore looks great! Pek, AK, and Roy are all doing well, it seems. Awesome to see! And obviously we don't have Ricky, Lee, or Ridnour, so that's nice as well. Unfortunately though, SHVED the stud isn't doing anything good at all.

But overall, cool stuff. Here's the boxscore:

Question: "Hey Antoine Walker, why do you shoot so many 3's?"

Answer: "Because there are no 4's."

From the other Thread....

I know it's only the first preseason game and a lot of Pacers are out, but I'm watching on some weird feed and i must say the Wolves look terrific. AK47's defense and passing is top notch, Roy is moving and scoring really well, and Pek and Love are their usual dominant selves. This team can play.

Shved looked great handling the ball too... Was making a lot of great plays out there even though he missed his shots

I missed the first couple minutes as I was playing basketball myself. The Daddy hit a game winning three, just wanted you all to know that. I will hoop Bonk if we're ever in the same state. I'm like 35 yr old Rasheed Wallace mixed with Eduardo Najera and Sam Mitchell. Minus any of the Mitchell hook shots. Plus the shittalking of Payton, Sheed, + KG in one.

I watched the first half intermittently and most of the second half (save the first 5 minutes of the 3rd quarter. I had an emergency after eating some greasy thai food earlier).

Barea is even pissed during preseason games.

Adelman still be rockin them turtle necks.

Shved officially looks like Vujabitch. This must change.

Roy Hibbert was either not trying or out of shape.

Kevin Love, Barea, and Pek - just feeling the team out. They seem like their usual selves. Love was going half speed (since he's out of shape) but fine, clearly...same as a month ago in the Olympics.

Barea picked up where he left off at the end of the season, playing unusually well...

Pek looks like a giant sized version of Maurice Jones Drew. He is definitely more cut than last year. Sometimes you see what you want to see but I don't think he looked like he was just lumbering down the lane, he was a bit more fluid, maybe.

AK looks the same as a month ago in the Olympics...Andre Igoudoula-esque.

C-Bud looks like he's still in Houston. Very comfortable handling the rock, probably had the best game on the team, but against Indy's backups...so that's ok though.

Derrick Williams...yup. Same guy. So, I watched the Celtics preseason game and sure enough, just like he claimed to be doing in practice, Jeff Green slashed to the hoop like crazy, using preseason as practice for an expanded role and the heir apparent to Pierce. Derrick Williams claimed the same thing...and shot a bunch of jump shots. I think I saw him slash once. Why not practice this stuff? Ugh. Derrick Williams for Darrell Arthur, broken leg and all. I'm going to propose absurd, random proposals until he plays like an adult.

Shveddy looks like Vujabitch, plays more like Rubio. Passing was awesome, shot was fine. I think he even blocked two shots. I can't imagine what will happen when he plays a thick wing like Kobe, Iggy, or Corey Brewer...They are going to toss his little ass around. But between the players that this game mattered for - Shved, Williams, and Roy - He impressed the most. But he did help Paul George up off the floor. The Wolves are trying to start a rivalry with this team Shved. Stare his ass down! Step over him! Step ON him! Don't help him up! fyckin team full of nice guys. Bunch of guys Flash likes and shit the Daddy don't like.

Steimsma - throwing shots, hacking people, being mean.

Cunninghamd and Lou - can't finish Shveddy dimes. Pissing me off.

Roy..? I don't know. He looks healthy so far. Looks effective. Can he be a role player? Man, I have no idea how to read him...

Pretty much as expected. Easy to shine against Pacers scrubs. I think they'll play the starters and try on Friday. A better test.

Some thoughts. I used Daddy's post and bumped it to the front page. On that note, everyone is always encouraged to write stuff for the front page if they so desire.

It was great to see the squad in general, however rusty. Tomorrow will probably be another poop arena cam but Saturday's game will be great to catch in HD with normal coverage and commentators. I would expect nothing less for Marko Jaric's return to Target Center.

Great stuff from both of you guys.

And thanks a ton for putting it up on the front page! And yes, any of you guys can write stuff for the front page, just let us know! We'd be glad to feature your work.

Great stuff Daddy!! I was balling last nite too. If you are coming at me you better be ready to go tit for tat with a KG/K.Love/Rick Fox/Rondo hybrid depending on the matchup, with the passion of Joakim Noah, instincts of Paul Pierce, and swagger of Charles Oakley.

Looking at the box score, I was extremely happy with Roy's output. Budinger too. Your D-Will comments were discouraging. Great recap Daddy.
