No one will stop Chris Paul. He will go for 20+ points and 20+ assists.

David West is also a stud. Not sure if Big Al is able to contain him.

We will lose.


PREDICTION:

Wolves 87 - Hornets 103

I can't say I disagree...

All this negativity sucks.

Wolves 103 NO 72

The Vikings blew out the Giants. Something is amiss in the air.

Hahaha fair enough. I don't see us having a chance tonight though.

Let's see....we got our butts handed to us with a Hornets team led by Jannero Pargo at Point..

...maybe something strange happens, like daddyfatsax said.....

Chris Paul is back. You actually think we have a chance? I sure don't.

I can't listen to hockey on XM radio. It moves way faster than the Twins. I've gat an idea though. From now on games are only 2 quarters. It's all in your head. Right now we are ahead by 21 pts. Games over in my house. I'm going to bed. I don't drink. What else can I do?

21 point lead at half? There is no way we can screw this up now.

Well, they almost gave it away in the final four minutes, but ultimately, this team did a solid job in the second half. They had an answer for most of the spurts by the Hornets in the second half...and the story of the game was undoubtedly the guard play. Jaric was in the zone from start to finish, and Telfair did an excellent job of distributing the ball and directing traffic. The Wolves played extremely well with those two guys playing alongside each other, tonight.

There was also a critical possession late in the 4th with the Wolves only up 93-86....TOINE DELIVERED. 'NUFF SAID.

WAIT!!! sports.yahoo.com/nba/recap?gid=2007112603

Jaric is dating Adriana Lima?!?!?!? DAMN!!!

I wonder if she was one of the chicks we always saw him with the past two years? We saw him on multiple occasions partying in the clubs and whatnot, with these same TWO chicks all the time. One was blond and one brunette. I guess the brunette could have been Adriana...

Good for him.

As for the game itself, wow... I never saw this one coming. I was sooooo far off with my prediction that it wasn't even funny. Props to Daddy for (almost) predicting a Wolves blowout! I almost got the total correct, but I had the teams switched lol:


BOXSCORE


I guess I just don't get what's up with our team when we easily beat New Orleans (which is a damn good team) on the road, yet we blow a 20 point lead to the Hawks at home. It's honestly baffling. I don't think I'm mentally ready for this type of roller coasting for the next 2,3, or possibly more years. I'm sicking of us losing to the teams we should beat, and vice-versa.

Marko played awesome tonight. I was really impressed with him. He was a floor general (shocking, I know) and was hitting his shots. I think it also helped that he didn't have to play with McCants or guard Chris Paul.

Telfair also played very well. His passing was awesome and he was finally finishing at the rim, which is what we need him to do. Wish we had his option for next year on the cheap, who knows if he'll sign somewhere else or not. My guess is that someone will overpay him since he's only 21 years old.

Anyhow, the backcourt of Marko and Telfair playing at the same time was really nice. I thought they complemented each other well. I like.

Walker was steady and hit some big shots. I'm liking him more and more as the games go on. I can't help myself. And to think we got him for Davis and Blount?!?! Wow... awesome.

Other than CP3, it didn't look like anyone came to play at all for the Hornets. Maybe teams are underestimating us and we'll pick up a few extra wins because they won't be mentally prepared? Oh well, take what we can get I guess.

Jefferson needs more freakin touches! My goodness!

A true center is by far the biggest and most gaping hole on this team (if Theo is unable to play.) Madsen/Doleac/Richard will NOT cut it. We are getting no production out of our center so far this season, sans Theo. Madsen's hustle and heart doesn't suffice, at least not for a starting center in the NBA. He's fine as a 10 or 15 minute per game backup. And to think I wanted him starting. The thing is, when your other option is Doleac, it's lose-lose.

McCants did nothing to make me like him even one teeny iota more. He disrupts the flow of our offense so terribly whenever he gets big minutes and jacks up his shots with impunity. Ugh.

Buckner had a nice all-around game. I like the 9 rebounds and 6 assists.

One thing that does concern me... are we in a youth movement or not? I mean, GG, Richard, and Brewer had 0 combined minutes. Our vets had major minutes (Marko - 39, Walker - 30, Buckner - 29) I guess if that's what it takes to win... but is winning more important than developing? Ahhh I don't really know. It just doesn't seem like we have a solid longterm plan or a lot of direction. Are we playing these vets so that we can showcase them for a trade? Are we trying to win as many games as possible at the expense of the youngsters getting minutes? I give up.

We aren't in first place in the Derrick Rose sweepstakes anymore...

Total Attendence = 8,393! Hahahaha omg! They are a good team... wow.

Yeah...what is happening to the whole rebuilding plan?

I really want Brewer to get a lot of minutes but he never will if we continue to play these average-at-best vets the whole game...

Kind of ironic how we talked about Marko and Telfailure being the worst PG combo in the league (I disagree...) and they both dropped fantastic lines last night.
