Wolves Record: 17-20
Last Game: 79-92 win vs Rockets

If it were at home, I'd be tempted to pick the Wolves, but it's not. I'll go with the Hawks. Another game that's not on TV. Seriously, who's running this bush league operation?

Somehow the Wolves always manage to win when I bet against them. I was so sure that they're gona lose this game. No Pek, Love, Shved... so I put much money on the Rockets and what happens? This is actually the second time I am sure they'll lose and put much money against them. The first time was against the Thunder, and as you know they won that time too. So, can someone explain me what happened? I suspect the game was fixed. How else could the Rockets score less then 80 points? They average above 100.

No bet from me this time, so they will lose for sure.
Wolves 88
Hawks 96

Ricky sucks this year, maybe 4 points

Cunningham should play.

I know Im late to the party, but did anyone watch the game Saturday? I caught the Rockets feed on league pass on DVR. My friend at the game texted me "Chris Johnson MVP chants" before I had started watching it so I knew something good was about to happen.

What a story Saturday! Now....remember Houston played like absolute donkey balls. The 2009 Wolves win that game by 30 points. It can't and wont happen against a team that is well rested and motivated.

Guys like Steemer, Williams and Lou and even some others have to feel like pretty big morons for allowing 2 guys signed to 10 day contracts to come in and score TWENTY THREE consecutive 4th quarter points to will their team to victory. Hopefully that gives those guys a kick in the ass. Lou....man...I was excited about him but he might be one of the worst players in the league. One of these 4:1 bad to good play ratio guys. What happened to the Tim Riggins dickhead from Indiana? If Johnson has another 2 good games over his 10-day, it is going to be very difficult yo justify keeping Lou over him. Remember Johnson can only be here for 10 days max unless the Wolves create a roster spot per the leagues super generous 10 day injury exception.

Nice start, Wolves. 13-9. Ricky and D-Who?!!

Steemer! Blockin' and dunkin'!

Like on Saturday when Asik was picking up quick fouls, Ivan Johnson has 3 in the first qtr already. Which isn't bad. he was the guy that lead them to the big comeback in ATL last year.

Wolves offense is humming and D looking good too.
