Wolves Record: 11-9
Last Game: 113-102 win vs Pelicans

All signs point to Ricky making his season debut for this game. Woohooooowl. It's a good thing too, since half our team got injured against the Pelicans. I think this will be a close game, not sure who's going to win.


-The Daddy was closest (off by 20) and gets 2 TPs

-everyone who predicted the wolves to win gets a TP

-everyone who posted a picture in the thread gets a TP. CW gets 2 bonus TPs for finding pics of the ugliest creature in existence.

-Bonk gets 3 TPs for his Rivers career-high points bonus guess

Game Challenges

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

2. Predict how many points OJ Mayo will score. 2 TPs for guessing, 1 for closest

3. We'll try this one again. Predict how many minutes (to the nearest second) that Ricky Rubio plays in this game. 5 TPs for guessing, 2 TPs for being within 20 seconds, 1 for closest. If Ricky doesn't play, the challenge is cancelled.

I guess I'll go w/ a wolves win even though I kind of have a bad feeling about this game.

1. I say we just manage to pick up a close one. Mavs got blown out last night in Toronto, so they don't have the advantage of being fresh and we are at home.

RICKY! with 15:31 of non-stop elite awesomeness.

At this point, I'm not sure Love being out hurts much. Clearly the best player, he has been HORRIBLE this year and you know you'll get better defense from D-Charge. So until he gets his hand and his head straight, he is not even an asset. This is the toughest stretch of KLove's pampered career, he is stretched pretty thin mentally. I hope he gets himself together.

Here we are back in house.

Thanks CG for your good wishes, I would appreciate that.

Today I come with my forecast very early and I have no doubt of it. It will surprise you but here goes the Bomb.

We have today the return of Ricky Rubio, but we are uncertain if K-Love plays or not. Should not play for me. These ups and downs provoke disequilibrium Wolves System while I think the Mecias as CG call Ricky, will not be much impact in his first appearance. Always he going to do nice ball passing that makes your other but the impact we will see after a few games and getting into rhythm.

On the other hand we see the Mav's, Dirk still out without playing for his injury and Dallas looking like a team that won against the strongers Teams and Lose with the weak badly. Today they dont play with a lazy team but neither one contender to the title (Wolves). Mav's come from losing two straight game on the road and this they will come decide to take at all costs, I say this as we follow this team in the past and especially his Coach Carlisle and I know this will come prepared to Barea and Pek with some trick because he knows that these two pieces are key for his team to win or lose.


The Wolves come to win three straight games and will garner attention The Mecias, this also makes a snowy and brutal cold over there in your house, for all this factors will be neglected and confident come play resulting in a defeat.

Finally the Mav's lost the first game whe they both faced in Minnesota and Mavv'z will come with a desire to vindicate.

And therefore as soon as you know that will be the result.

Yes, unfortunately the Wolves lost by 5 points.
