Tonight the Wolves players will watch Dallas receive their championship rings for last season. By all accounts this will be considered the turning point in the Wolves season that catapult them to 3 of the next 5 NBA Championships. As of writing. the Wolves have not signed Love to an extension yet. I imagine this will be rectified by game time. Yep, today is going to be a pretty big day in Wolves history.

Gophers and Wolves play at the same time. nice move schedule makers
MAX CONTRACT NOW!!!
And it is done!!!

Not a max contract, but this looks like a great deal for Love and, if the team continues to improve, an awesome deal for the Timberwolves.
Yeah, I agree. I wish he didn't have the opt out after 3 years, so we'll probably have to negotiate again then. Still, if this team is headed in the right direction, I'd think we'd be able to give him max money then.
According to the Dallas broadcast crew, the early season loss to the Wolves was "rock bottom". What a bunch of turds.
Robbie Incmakowski is not a bad basketball sideline reporter, but man he is terrible when it comes to baseball
I think the fact that he's not in the crowd creeping on late teen/early 20s ladies helps a lot.
I thought that was supposed to be part of his charm.
Darko is playing with a sore hip? Why not give Pek! 45 minutes of gametime
Let's play Pek and Darko at the same time!
I'm awaiting my dream lineup of Darko, Pek, Beasley, Johnson, and Ellington.
I LOVE THIS IDEA!
Seriously, I agree with you. Switch out Darko for Pek in this starting lineup, and it looks much better to me.
Good lord. Get Darko out of there.
Words to live by.
He can play defense, apparently. If only we would stop running isos for him in the low post.
Wow. I just refreshed and didn't even realize this was me for a few seconds because of the new gravatar.
I did a double-take, too.
FIRE IN THE HOLE!
Are you back to Cowboy Zoidberg or do I need to clear my cache?
Darko = Ralph Sampson III for the Gophers
whoa, I missed where Ridnour is not playing today. These injuries suck
Wolves with 26 in the first quarter!
ohmy :/
Hmm, 26 points in the first quarter. I didn't know the Wolves were allowed to score over 20 in the opening frame.
Wes Johnson open from 3! Hesitates... steps up... bricks a long 2.
Who needs Beas?
At least Beas bricks his long 2s without discretion and with confidence.
Short bench sucks.
But Barea's injured...
Yeah, and Pek! is on the tall bench.
Pek!
I see this is the unwatchable stretch of a Wolves game.
I cant believe the Wolves are only down by 7
I cant believe the Wolves are only down 2
The 17 to 2 free throw advantage probably helped.
Or 2!
That's an awesome end to the first half. Too bad we don't play by Doug Collins rules where points scored at the end of quarters are worth double.
nice steal by Rubio
Adelman 4tw!
Darko is blocking a boatload of shots this game
Now if he could just put that assertiveness to his offensive game, that would be even better.
this needs a lot of work, but it's a start:
Ha! You're much too humble about your art.
YES YES YES YES YES YES
I love it when teams leave Kevin Love wide open at the 3pt line
I'm not a fan of this Ellington playing point idea. Never thought I'd miss Ridnour.
And immediately as I hit send he had a nice drive with the foul.
...AND ONE. Bitches.
I see Brian Cardinal is still around. Is he the NBA version of a soft tossing left handed reliever?
Something about him makes it seem like he's around forever. Felt like he played at Purdue for 8 years.
He probably still has a year of eligibility
Pek! with the dunk!
oh my gosh, Kevin Love destroyed a guy with a pick
Love looked like Pek there for a second.
Kevin Love with a monster pick! (How often do you get to say that?)
there is a guest dj day available if anyone has posting abilities. Applcants may inquire below.
When is it?
Tomorrow.
eh?
Working late, no access to computer other than phone.
That statement makes the world feel futuristic.
Oh, I'd like to do this. I was out of town when the apps went up for guest DJs this year.
You win!
Record spun.
Lubio!
PEK BLOCK!
Pekovic.
>Darko
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Pek and roll almost worked there
someone needs to make a Pek/Heavy Weapons Guy banner
Remember this comment?
What will tonight be? Rocker bottom? Rock bottomer?
i wish we could play dallas every game!
Haha, I was just on my way back to that comment to comment on it.
Dagger.
Rubio's transition defense has been pretty impressive tonight. Hell of a game from the kid tonight all around.
2-0 against the defending champs? Not bad at all
quality win for the local squad
Oh, hey, the Wolves are winning. Good to see.
Yeah Wolves!!! WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
This doesn't seem very neutral of you, Boyd.
The Wolves would be the 7th best team in the East
