Wolves Record 1-1
Last Game: 86-105 loss to Raptors

2nd game of a back-to-back on the road and the Nets are a decent team. I can't pick us to win this one.

-CW was closest (off by 16) and gets 2 TPs

-No Love Sessions and I tied on challenge #2 for 1 TP each

-Bonk guessed challenge #3 for 2 TPs, and gets an additional TP for guessing exactly how many of the blocks would be by the wolves.

-lior gets a TP for picking Shved for challenge #1 because even though Allen Anderson won, it was still a good pick. Shved came in 2nd.

Game Challenges

1. Correctly picking which team will win the game is worth 1 TP

2. Guess the combined rebounds of AK47, assists of Deron Williams, and points of Alexey Shved. 3 TPs for guessing, 1 for closest

3. Guess how many points Brooke Disney Lopez will score. 2 TPs for guessing, 1 for closest.

Wolves 89
Nets 97

2. 25
3. 24

Yeah, I don't see us winning a back to back against the Nyets. Plus we gotta travel there from Canada. Could be a pretty tough game.

Wolves 88 - Nyets 95

2) 22

bonus: Roy rebounds strong in the game and goes for 12 pts, 5 boards, 4 assists, only 2 turnovers

No way. Which is sad and to be expected without Love and Rubio.

Wolves 93
Nets 104


1. Nets

2 .25 (AK = 8, Deron = 11, SHVED = 6)

3. 18

Bonus - Roy redeems himself after his disgusting, Flynn-like game last night and puts up 15+.

This is relevant why?!

We are 8.5 point underdogs. I actually think that may be generous given we played last night, this is Nets game #2 in their new stadium, and your guy JJB is probably out.

Brooklyn: 102
Minneap: 90

#2: 21 (AK7, DW10, AS4)

#3: 14 for Brooke

Bonus: Dante C Double Double!

1. Wolves 99, Nyets 83

2. Rebounds of AK47, assists of Deron Williams, and points of Alexey Shved: 8+8+5=21

3. Brooke Disney Lopez points: 17

All your reasons why the Wolves will lose are crap. Bounce back game. It's fine. Beginning of the year, Nyets will have a dud game - it's possible.

True. There is no way in hell the Wolves are that careless with the ball tonight. If so, we have much bigger problems. But I have a hard time seeing 24 turnovers happen again this season. Complete outlier.

However, Ridnour and Roy are better off hauling neon green toilets onto the court and spending their defensive possessions taking dumps and relaxing than trying to defend Joe Johnson and Deron Williams. Kirilenko better not blow out a knee helping them out.

Because it's an overnight trip from far away. Plus it's more effort and energy to get through customs. Should be pretty obvious that an overnight travel from a long ways away to play a second game in two days is exponentially more difficult than a back-to-back with both games at home......

You may want to look at a map and see how close Toronto is to NYC

Toronto is a long ways away from New York?! It's 450 miles! If that is a burden, then all of our road games are burdensome! egads!

Sorry, I stand corrected...it's 347 miles by air...a whole 1:09 plane ride!

Don't get upset, CW, I'm just razzing you. But you must admit that you bringing up the whole traveling from Canada thing as a game changer tonight was very Peter King like.
