Wolves Record 5-5
Last Game: 101-94 loss to Nuggets

With K-Lav, Pek, and Barea all back, we should be able to get back to winning some games. This will be a tough game though, the Blazers are better than expected with LMA, Batum, and Lillard all averaging 20 ppg.


-No Love Sessions was closest (off by 4) and gets 2 TPs

- I guessed challenge #2 for 2 TPs

-Bonk was closest on challenge #3 for 2 TPs

-Everyone who predicted the Nuggets to win gets a TP

Game Challenges

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

2. Solves for X: A - B = X
A = AK47 points + rebounds + assists + steals + blocks
B = Nic Batum points + rebounds + assists + steals + blocks

2 TPs for guessing, 1 for closest.

3. Guess the combined points and rebounds by K-Lav. 2 TPs for guessing, 1 for closest

I think it'll be a close game, and since it's on the road, I'll go with the Blazers

MN 95
POR 99

2. x = 5
3. 41

Portland is a very tough place to play, but I think the Wolves can take this if the rest of the team doesn't stand around and watch Love play again. Portland's front line is very small with Hickson in the middle so we need to take advantage with Pek

I was on an airplane and didn't get to watch last game, the infamous D-Charge DNP. I will be looking forward to that debacle again tonight.

This is not revisionist history, but rather fact. SOOOO many fans saw this coming with Derrick Williams. What a waste. Adelman KNEW this was coming. More than anything else Kahn has done, this is easily the most frustrating for me. In what world was this kid ever going to be successful in MN? Now it's too late. They probably can't get Gerald Henderson for him. He is worthless. I really hope he can carve out a career somewhere. This is absolutely ruining his confidence and making him even MORE likely to play like shit.

I know he's not getting fired. So can we at least smite Kahn's Karma for not getting the Wolves a player who would be a starter for years to come from a #6, #4 and now a #2 pick? I'm going to puke some pumpkin pie.

My only prediction, Luke guarding Lillard is not going to be pretty.

I wonder if Malcolm Lee can slow him down.

Bonus Matthews 5+ 3's

The Blazers are 2 point favorites. JJ Hickson missed Wednesday's game and is questionable tonight.

I want to #embracehomerism but I think it takes us one more game to get used to running a K. Love heavy offense. The way our offense lost all flow and got so congested in the 2nd half last game was concerning. I think we win tomorrow but lose tonight.

Yep. Saw it coming a mile away. Should have traded the damn pick like we and a few others here said at the time.

Not only is Damian Lillard a total Beast, luke guarding him is pretty sad. Put malcom lee on him, or shved on him, and just have luke guard Wes Matthews or something.

Then again Lillard is still a beast, very very impressive.

Didn't see the game, but looks like another tough loss.

Like I've been saying all season long, if you're

A) A point guard and
Have a Handle.

You can drive by Ridnour anytime you want and set up a teammate or score at will


Rubio's defense is so needed right now
