Being the huge fan I am I watch and will watch every game that I can. But its difficult watching us struggle and lose games when were playing with a team that is 20% bench players once our stars return. What our your thoughts on this? I myself do see somewhat of a silver lining though, once the injured players return ( mainly ricky and kevin) they will have more improved backups because bench players have had to play so much. I guess injuries = future depth... I hope

I was just saying this the other night. I would probably trust Malcolm Lee to contribute spot minutes in the playoffs at this point. In no other circumstance can I imagine that being the case.

When our full squad is back, you are going to have 1 All Star - no questions asked (Love), 1 player who will absolutely deserve to be an All Star but probably won't (AK), 2 guys who would be legitimately in the All Star discussion if not for injuries (Rubio and Pekovic), and a guy with no knees.

On the bench, you are going to have a slew of guys who played winning ball for 7 games without their leaders (other than AK and Pek). Ridnour, Barea, Shved, Budinger - all subs. Williams, Cunningham, and Stiemsma? Subs. Malcolm Lee and Amundson have been playing good minutes- subs.

This team has the look of a very deep team and the talent at the top is pretty tough too. 2nd round material if you ask me.

Not to despair! Pek is back, Love and Rubio are at practice getting right for their December returns.

Barea and Roy are still MIA

It's just depressing, more than anything. You sit there and think "oh, what could have been..." if we didn't have half our damn team injured! And all our best guys too! (Well, besides AK of course.)

As for the answer to the thread topic: No. Because I have SEEN 70+ games of the 2009 Wolves.

Holy shit, that was such a pathetic season! Can't believe I spend so many late nights watching that crappy team.

Anybody remember this game?

Oh. My. F*cking. God. Lou Amundson scored 20 against the 2009 Wolves. Cannot be made up.

Howl to you. This is some NBA 2k with sliders on high level fail.

Crazy shit!

Some thoughts:

- that first game was the 10th lost in a row!
- It maybe was Flynn's best game ever with 10 Points, 8 Assists, 3 Rebs, only 1 TO, 50% from 3PT and a steal (oh: but he had a FG% of 27%...)
- KLOVe with 0% from the field ?!? (0 of 7)
- Corey Brewer was da deal!
- And even Gomes (yes this is for you CW) play good, at least on the offensive side... (becaus JRICH smashed in 27 with 60% & 6 3Pters with 67%...)
- You simply know, that you suck, when you get outrebounded by 10 by the PHOENIX SUNS!!!


2nd Game:
- Man just look at the names of this team: you simply HAVE to be bad! This ist maybe one of the thinnest line-ups in NBA-history... (Pavloviv 30 Min!, Jawai 13,5 Min, Wilkins 18 Min...!!)
- Kelenna Azubuike dropped 31 on us & AR 23 (that was surely the reason, Kahn got him later) - brutal!
- 28 TOs ?!!!
-

The Wolves just posted some pics from former thanks giving-events (By the way: Can maybe some of you guys explain to me, why foreign players - like Pek, Marco Jaric - have to serve US-veterans, that feels somehow strange or am I misguided in that?)

This one is my favourite one: the good ol' sunny days, with the former gang...


p.s. is that Darko on the left?
