Wolves Record: 8-8

Last Game: 105-88 win vs 76ers

I'm feeling good about this game, but do we ever beat the Celtics? Probably not. I think the Celtics will take this one in a close game.

-Zonker was closest (off by 7) and gets 2 TPs

-Wallyworld guessed challenge #2 for 2 TPs

-Nobody picked Josh Howard for MVP, so I'm giving an honorary TP to No Love Sessions & Zonker for picking Shved & Barea.

-everyone who picked the wolves to win gets a TP

-The Daddy gets a TP for being the leader of the Malcolm Lee fanclub

Tod Murphy NOW ONLINE The Peksecutioner Posts: 1085 Thank you received: 140 Howls: 26	Hopefully we can replicate shooting and guard play from last night. I'm guessing that Rondo & KG will have big enough games to pull this one off for Boston. Who is going to slow them down? Lee? Celtics 96 Wolves 93 2. 39 3. 29

K-Lav is not shy about opening his mouth or doing interesting things. Some of it is worthy to be ripped on. But I'll give him credit for showing KG the proper respect here and not being the source of kicking KG to another level of intensity.

"People who watched KG and covered him know what a great player he is," Love said.

"I don't know what it was last year. It was something added onto that game. He wanted to perform well, and so did Boston, getting into playoff mode," Love continued. "I'm the type of person, I'll never bring that kind of stuff up. But everybody wanted to pit Kevin on Kevin. ... He's a once-in-a-lifetime generation type player who has been there and done that. I'm still making my mark in this league, still 24 years old, relatively young. I'd like to continue to keep following in his footsteps."

daddyfatsax NOW ONLINE Kevin Love Posts: 4946 Thank you received: 488 Howls: 27	Wolves 94 Celtics 91 2. 39 bench points! 3. 60 = 40 points, 20 rebounds. Plus 9 assists, 7 steals, and 5 blocks. This is what KG averages when I watch him play. Unfortunately, the stats powers-that-be seem to overlook much of his work, only crediting him for crap like 16 and 8 a game. So don't be fooled by the box score tonight, KG will be putting up stats closer to his real averages...
