Wolves Record: 14-13
Last Game: 107-111 win vs Suns

The Jazz have one of the best homecourt advantages in the league, but this a is very winnable game. If we want to make the playoffs, these are the games you have to get. The Wolves are the more talented team, I think we'll win it.


-wolfenstein was closest (off by 6) and gets 2 TPs

-Tod Murphy was closest on challenge #2 for 1 TP

-everyone who predicted the Wolves to win gets a TP

-Raphiel gets a TP for his Scola bonus prediction

Game Challenges

1. Correctly predicting which team wins the game is worth 1 TP.

2. Solve for X: A - B = x

A = Love & Pek combined points
B = Al Jefferson & Paul Milsap combined points

3 TPs for guessing, 1 for closest

3. Guess the +/- statistic for Kirilenko. 2 TPs for guessing, 1 for closest

Wolvezz 101
Jazz 94

2. -2
3. +8

I think we lose a heart-breaker, although I hope I'm wrong...

TWolves 103 - Jazz 105


2. Solve for X: A - B = x

A = 18 +16 = 34
B = 26 + 12 = 38
X = -4

3. +5

Wolves 98
Jazz 102

(26+20) - (24+15) = 7

AK47 +4

Bonus: Foye misses 5+ threes.

1. Wolves 98 Jazz 92

2. Solve for X: A - B = x

A = 28 + 18= 46
B = 18 + 15= 33

= 13

3. +8

Wolves 92
Jazz 98

2. -2

A = 40
B = 42

3. +6

So Ricky stayed home from this two-game road trip...

Hope Luke's back is not the next to go. He, JJ and Shved have been holding it together and need to keep it up.

It is fitting that Kirilenko could pass two notable career milestones at Utah. The 6-9 forward needs two steals to reach 1,000 for his career, and four rebounds to reach 4,000.

Wolves 96
Jazz 98

X= -1
+2 for Andreiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Bonus: Foye with 4+ made trojkas

Great read, per the usual. Thanks!

Hi

Happy New Year to all fellow forumers.

Today we started 2013 with a good litmus test to the Utah Jazz. The game will be out of the Lion's Cage, is something that will have against you but will not prevent them achieve a well deserved victory.

Yes folks I'm going to give the win today despite that, they need to win on the road so that other teams have something to believe in this new year.

It will not be easy and I hope it is a tight game at the end only be decided by a short margin.

Then we will see a game defensively poor will not say much, they only see the end of the last period.

Well then I think the game ended as follows:

Wolves 109 Jazz 106

Love 23 & Pek 16 = 39
Jefferson 18 Milsap 11 = 29

AK-47 = (-7)

Bonus:

JJ Barea
30Mpg
23 Points
7 Asist
3 Reb
1 Stl
3 TO's

Estaremos . . .

Challenge two... 4

Challenge three... +3

Jazz broadcast (sorry, daddy) pregame interview with AK, asked how he wanted to be remembered.

"As a good person. You may say about some guys, he is a good player, but he is a jack ass."

Not how AK wants to be remembered.

...I'm sure he wasn't talking about 'Greatness'
