Chase Budinger has a torn meniscus and is having surgery.

Another one bites the dust. Gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh this sucks so much!!!

I have nothing CW...nothing to add.

At least Ponder played well today? At least the Grizzle destroyed the cHeat? At least AP is a monster?

Yeah... sigh. I guess there's that. Not sold on Ponder still, but damn AP is freakin BEASTMODE. He and Foster are easily the two best RB's in the league. I love him.

Bwahaha at the cHeat. I hope the Grizzlies are back! Last year sucked for them... but Z-Bo looks like he's perfectly healthy and tearing things up.

So that makes.... love, rubio, barea, roy, budinger...

Given a typical rotation is 10 to 12 guys deep, ours theoretically shrunk to 5 - 7... Does sheved start with roy out? I guess we'll be playing will conroy now. haha man cursed may be an understatment for the t-wolves. screw .500, I'm hoping for .333 right now till love comes back.

Shved + Ridnour + Lee + Conroy I guess. Brutal. PS Bellinelli decked Chase on the play, extension of the arm in his back and all.

Oh man this sucks. I just gave him a + in the elimination game too

Freak injury. It didn't look serious at all when it happened.

Well, believe it or not, this could have been a lot worse. We'll probably have Budinger back late January, early Feb instead of out for the season. In the meantime, we have to hope Roy and Barea are ready to come back sooner than later. Personally, I would like the Wolves to sign Pietrus but it's going to be mighty hard to get him to accept the minimum

Okay. Some bullets.

-THANKFULLY this was not a torn ACL. Bud will be back in January hopefully.
-Extended Shved minutes. Will be interesting to see what Kukoc can do under pressure/probably starting
-Someone name one reason why Conroy isn't waived to make room for Pietrus. There is none. Pietrus and his salary demands can be negotiated. This needs to happen. I don't trust Roy until January.
-All injuries are freak. What is our training staff doing to identify risks and administer more preventative care? Anything? This is too much to be a coincidence. The Wolves use trainers from Lifetime fitness (not a joke). is there something here...? I mean....there HAS to be something fishy going on. I am reminded of this:

Don't tell me that. I was already despising that guy...(because of his effective 3 point shooting.)

Roy and Barea are going to have to give some minutes, even if they are not feeling 100%. This is going to take a toll on Ridnour. He's tough, but he deals with injuries from time to time too.

Cue the "no one is feeling 100% at this time of year, so you just have to play through it" speech...as we head into game 7.

OHHHH MMMMMYYYYY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDD and now Pekovic is hurt?!?!

This is absurdly unreal. Just freakin UN-REAL.

this fuckin sux!!!! who needs a drink or 8

Chase Budinger will miss the next three to four months while recovering from surgery to repair a torn lateral meniscus in his left knee.

Dr. James Andrews performed the surgery Tuesday, three days after Budinger was injured in a game against the Chicago Bulls.

3-4 Months?!?! Noooooooooo!

Well add Belineli and Vince Carter to the list of guys we irrationally hate because they were involved in TWolves injuries (with Kobe and whoever K. Love punched being at the top of that list).

I want Pietrus
