Game Challenges

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

The game will be on TNT -- the Wolves' first appearance since the 2006-07 season. Wow. No TNT games since KG left!

And speaking of the Big Ticket, Kevin Harlan will call the game! Not many things better than Harlan calling a Wolves game.

Also, he has Chris Webber as an analyst.

WallyWorld, for your attempt to establish Kahntact and get a reaction this game, please let it involve "Webber," "manna" and "amnesty."

This game pits the two best first quarter teams against each other.

OKC is #1 in the league by outscoring opponents by 4.5 points in the first quarter.

Wolves are #2 with a +3.1 margin. (It's all downhill after that...)

This game does NOT pit the two best offensive rebounding teams against each other.

Minnesota is tied with Denver for best in the league with 13.8 offensive boards per game.

OKC is way down at #26 with 9.9 a game. (They probably just make their first shot and don't get those extra 4 boards Love and Pek get from missing-tapping-finally making.)

Sadly I am back up in the nosebleeds tomorrow, away from the lower level folks who sit and text throughout the game and judge those who cheer/show any ounce of enthusiasm.

There is really no scenario under which we beat the Thunda. They are the best team in the league, in my opinion.

So yeah... loss.

Praying I am wrong and the Wolves somehow find a way to drink enough Rubio tears and come out with a huge home win!

As I mentioned above, I am a huge Kevin Harlan fan.

Here is a fun Q&A with him with good comments about Rubio, and of course, "manna from heaven" comes up too.

I didn't take this into consideration in my predictions, but one sliver of hope for tomorrow night is that OKC has to play in Atlanta tonight. Let's hope for a battle of the ages with lots of carnage involved vs. the Hawks...

2. Solve for X: (21 - 31 ) / (5 - 7) = 5

ya'll trippin. KLove is out for blood after last game. Luke is too quick for Westbrick. AK is too good for Durant. Pek is too long to get blocked by Ibaka. Their bench is whack. Easy win.

When the Wolves win Roundhouse, give Flash five of my points in celebration!
