Wolves Record 5-4
Last Game: 106-98 loss to Warriors

Well at least they got 4 days to rest up and Pek is back, but I'm going to have to reluctantly pick the Nuggets to win this game. They are only 4-6, but they've had a brutal schedule so far.


-Flash was closest (off by 5) and gets 2 TPs

-No Love Sessions guessed the wolves score for 4 TPs

-Murphs was closest on challenge #3 for 1 TP

-everyone who picked the Warriors to win gets a TP

-Flash gets half a TP for his D-Will bonus prediction

-wolfenstein gets 2.5 TPs for his D-Will bonus prediction

Game Challenges

1. Correctly picking which team will win the game is worth 1 TP

2. Guess how many rebounds Kenneth "Manimal" Faried will have. 2 TPs for guessing, 1 for closest. 2X bonus if you guess 15 or more and are correct/closest.

3. Solve for X: (A * B ) / (C * D) = X
A = AK47 points
B = Josh Howard minutes played (to the nearest minute)
C = Andre Igoudala points
D = Corey Brewer rebounds + blocks + steals

5 Tps for guessing, 2 for closest

DEN 95

Another one of those home games that we really need to be winning.

Will Pekovic back be enough to get back on our winning ways? Let's hope so.

Barea probably will take another night off. Come on, JJ, get back out there and limp around for a few minutes! Since he always got re-injured last year when he came back, everyone is probably super cautious right now.

Can't Love just be like one of those offensive lineman that put the cast on, tape it up into a big club and go out and grab a few boards? Make the club concave instead of a big round club so that the ball cups in there nicely. If he ends up wacking Faried, gets a couple game suspension, then he can just go back to healing.

Note that I spelled Kenneth's last name correctly above. I have to admit that Google helped me on that, after I got past the first suggestion of "Did you mean fried nugget?

I just wanted to be able to google on Thursday, "Love+battered+nugget."

I know, lame. Don't smite my karma. We really need a game to watch...

WHAAA? No bonus for accurately predicting Josh Howard's jersey number??!! Weak!!!

Game Challenges

2. 12 rebounds

3. Solve for X: (A * B ) / (C * D) = X

A = 17
B = 9
C = 14
D = 6

X = 1.821

I've been a pessimist of late, So I'm actually going to go with the Wolves in this one.

1. Wolves 98 Nuggets 95

2. 15

3. (15 x 18) / (14 x 10) = 270/140= 1.93

Imma go with the Nuggets, just cause well on paper they are the better team healthy imo. We are very very far away from healthy.

Nuggets - 104
Wolves -96

Gonna be a 15 point deficit at the beginning of the 4th and we'll go for the comeback again, but Ty Lawson's gonna burn us with a dagger 3.

Timberwolves PR ‏@Twolves_PR

#Twolves @jjbareapr participated in light practice today. Said he feels good & he will see how the foot feels tomorrow.

‏@JerryZgoda
JJ running sprints on his own after practice, a sign that his foot is feeling better

@JerryZgoda
JJ says he's feeling much better, will try foot tomorrow and if he feels like this, he will play vs Nuggets

Kevin Myers ‏@HumdingerTV
Word is that Ricky Rubio is running as hard as anyone in Timberwolves practices.
