Wolves Record 5-6
Last Game: 95-103 loss to Blazers

I can't in good conscious predict a win right now. The wolves look pretty bad, Ridnour is playing Jonny Flynn-esque defense, and there is no ball movement or rhythm on offense since K-Lav has come back.


I was closest (off by 4) and guessed the wolves score for 6 TPs

-Bonk guessed challenge #2 for 2 TPs

-CW & Zonker tied for closest on challenge #3 for 1 TP each

-Tod Murphy gets a TP for his Ridnour prediction

-Wallyworld gets 2.5 TPs for his Wes Matthews prediction

4. At some point Adelman will be forced to play a zone with the following players: Shved, AK, HAM, Love, PEK. That will be the only way to challenge wing players.

You all are overreacting. The team is, like we said, a fringe playoff team, a 7-8 seed team that could give a 1-2 seed all they can handle with the right matchup (San Antonio). They are struggling right now as injuries and the complete and utter lack of continuity it brings has caught up to them. They'll calm down and pull it together soon. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

It's easy to see how the losses of Bud, Rubio and Roy (the idea of Roy, not what he was bringing) are more troublesome than Love or Pek. The league is such that you need flexible, versatile wings who can do a lot of things. Shved might be able to do that one day, and MAYBE, maybe, Lee. But we all knew that the Hobbit boys are both backups. Neither should be playing more than 20 minutes a night unless they are super hot (Rubio is always super hot )

4. Love 30-20 evening

my lord Love, stop fycking crying.

LOL, looks like my bonus prediction is going to be easily won

What a horrid holiday weekend of 2nd halfs.

Barea is dead to me. Love was horrible, and his complaining and not getting back on D is infuriating. Ever since he has returned the offense has no flow. And our guard defense is just embarrassing.

Obviously an NBA season is full of peaks and valleys, and things will get better. But wow was that 2nd half disheartening.

I will give Jim Pete props - with Hanney now gone JP has just been fire. He is very educated and in depth, and now seems to also be very candid and non-homerish. His color commentary has been on point all season.
