1. no Darko tonight. from the Strib beat guy

   Jerry Zgoda @JerryZgoda
   Darko! is not with team, stayed home because of what Adelman called a stomach muscle problem. He played one-tenth of a second last night

   1. Is Adelman saying he's got no guts?

2. Interesting start for Denver.

3. Wes Johnson leading the team in points!

   1. Ha! I was going to post the exact same thing.

4. the cable was out for the last 2 hours. The Wolves game starts and it pops back on. yay

   1. That's a good omen!

5. Sheesh, those layups just are not falling tonight.

6. Pek! block and 3

7. Nice start for the local boys.

8. Ass-ist for Pek!

9. wow! ripped that right out of the rim

   1. No doubt that was goaltending.

10. Rubio has been all over the place this game

11. Denver looks tired. It's almost like they had a marathon of a game last night.

    1. Watching the end of that one, I was thinking, wow, that's good for the Wolves.

12. Pek passes out of the double team.

    1. Not words you would expect to say a month ago.

       1. You mean you never said "Darko passes out of the double team"?

          No wait, you're right, that was "Darko misses a baby hook out of the double team."

13. Heh, Ricky getting a re-do on that three was awesome.

14. Barea missed Williams slashing in the lane, threw it to Love for a turnover/layup.

    1. That was craptastic.

15. I find that I am a fan of 30 point quarters.

16. Pek! with 6 off. rebounds. Jeebus

17. Pekovic was far and away my favorite Wolves player last season, but I don't think it would surprise anyone to learn that Kosta Koufos was my second favorite.

18. chaos!

19. Ugh, the Wolves need to get the guys who don't suck back on the floor.

20. Pekovic looks tired.

21. turrble...just turrble

22. Hey Rick Adelman, maybe you shouldn't put all of your worst players on the floor at the same time?

    1. My Dad this as coach in my house league. Sat all the stars in the 2nd quarter. We had several come from behind wins.

23. I could hear Love wrist/arm being slapped on tv

24. My fault. I started watching at 38-26 Wolves.

    1. That's about when I logged on, too. I'll take half the blame, OK?

25. LOL@Brewer

26. Corey Brewer still cant hit a 3

27. blah.

28. Bologna!

29. Wow, did they finally call a foul on someone for doing something to Love?

    1. I think our guy Kevin is getting a bad rep with the boys in blue.

       1. I blame Stern.

          1. Well, that Hornets pick can't be #1 overall if the Wolves make the playoffs...

30. How not to play with a big lead 101: Professor Minnesota Timberwolves.

31. Pek and Love a combined 5-19? That's not going to get it done. I'm surprised the score is this close.

    1. I think "I'm surprised the score is so close" about sums up the entire season worth of Wolves first halves, right?

32. Reall? They're going to call that crap now?

33. The Wolves might be able to score (almost) half as many points in the second quarter compared to the first.

34. Ugh, Tolliver probably shouldn't be out there.

35. oh, blah.

36. Anthony Tolliver should go home and think about what he's done.

37. a vomit inducing second quarter

38. If the Wolves win tonight these two teams will have the same record.

39. I thought the FSN Girls were robots.

40. Pek doubtful with a bum ankle.... NOOOOOO

41. Lawson out with an ankle, now Afflalo

42. blahhhh.

43. is anyone guarding Harrington?

44. I feel like the wolves should be down a lot more than 7.

    1. no kidding. I thought the Wolves were down by 15

45. Andre Miller.... he gawn!

46. RUBIO!

47. This game is uglier than Mama Cass' ass.

    1. now WHY did you have to go there?!

       1. It was the most fitting image I could think of.

          1. about as good a fit as a chicken bone in the throat.

48. Lawson and Miller gone, the Nugs have like 2 guards left

49. Mike Beasley has been engaged this game

50. Time to see if a center or a point guard is more important

51. keep shooting those threes Corey

    1. Amen to that.

    2. Brewer can do no right!

52. *double post

53. 4 fouls on Brewer

    1. And a technical.

54. does Beasley have some sort of incentive to shoot as soon as he can after the ball has cleared half court?

    1. I think there's a bonus in his contract for touching the ball as little as possible.

       1. he's got a big payday coming

55. WHY ARENT YOU COVERING HARRINGTON!!!

    1. Foul him. His form is a joke.

56. Good Beasley is such a f'n tease.

57. I dislike Luke Ridnour.

    1. So do I. Know your limits, you Punto wannabe.

58. That's the worst call I've ever seen.

    1. Really? I thought it was not great, but in this league, calls that bad are about one per game.

       1. There may have been some exaggeration, but it was pretty bad.

59. Free basketball~~!!!!

60. Terrible possession there by Denver.

61. ::wipes brow::

62. overtime

    the Nuggets have lost 2 point guards and are still in this game. doh

63. OT in Denver on a back-to-back. Oof.

    Wes looks fresh though, put him in that's good.

64. Overtime: if 4 quarters of sloppy basketball wasn't enough.

65. should be an intentional foul there

66. So, first one to score wins?

    1. its looking that way

67. I didn't watch much of regulation, has the whole game been this chippy/physical?

    1. from the 2nd quarter on

    2. if by that you mean "crappy" then yes

       1. OT is looking like a crappy game at the Y between a bunch of dudes that don't like each other.

          1. tired dudes

68. If Pek! was around, Harrington would have 13 for the night and this would be long over.

    1. It would still be on 30 shots.

69. thank you Brewer

70. We might need more than 5 minutes for somebody to score.

71. ...

72. Free basketball is ugly as sin, apparently.

73. Has overtime started yet? Maybe one of the teams should try putting the ball in the basket.

74. Heh, Ridnour doesn't even try.

75. Oh Ricky!

    1. That was pretty.

76. Luke forgot the jump part of that jump ball.

77. that was awesome help by Rubio there.

78. gotta hit that Webster. he's missed 3 in a row from that spot (I think its 3)

79. F you, Ridnour.

80. Luke, you son of a bitch.

81. blah!

82. Go f*&k yourself, Ridnour.

83. Dammit, Luke.

84. Luke Ridnour--LVP.

85. ugh.

86. So Minnesota starts the game 3 for a gazillion and is going to end the game 1 for 12. And lose by a basket. Frown.

87. Perfect ending for Luke.

    1. It's like his entire game summed up in one play.

88. OMG Martell, you dolt

89. OMG SHOOT THE THREE

    1. although Webster was 1-6 from beyond the arc...but still

90. Martell....WTF?!?!?!?

91. I hate you, Martell Webster.

92. Holy shit. That's ridiculous.

93. Wolves now 0-3 against the Northwest Division

94. A perfect ending to this game.

95. I like in the replay how he hesitates a second at the arc like "maybe I should take a 3?" Then he dunks anyway. Unbelievably stupid play.

    1. Love did not look pleased.

       1. Neither did Ricky.

          1. right. during the play after the hesitation, you can see Ricky pointing at the scoreboard. Its like Webster was the only person in the arena not knowing the score

          2. Webster can put that dunk on his mix tape for the And1 tour. He might be needing a new gig soon anyway.

       2. Ricky looked so confused.

          This team needs a shooter so bad.

96. and Martell Webster is trending on the Twitter machine, and he is getting pretty beat up

97. really? really.

    Jerry Zgoda @JerryZgoda

    Just FYI: Martell said he was aware of situation, decided to go for hoop and possible 3-pt play, said he should have shot the 3.

    1. Unfortunately, the Nuggets didn't have anyone as stupid as Martell on the floor.

       1. Yeah, I didn't think the Bird Man saw any action last night.

98. did he at least do some sort of gangsta pose after the dunk?

99. had half an eye on the game from the 2nd half on. just awful...

100. "Nuggets Nip Wolves After Webster Gaff"

     Please, 4ltr, they nipped the Wolves after Ridnour gaff.

     1. I think there is enough blame to share.
