The Wolves look for its second win in two nights. The Wolves will not have Andre Kirilenko, he is out with bask spasms.
After a hot start to the season, the Wolves are now 12th in the Western Conference with a 6-7 record. The Clippers are in first place in the Pacific at 8-6. They get Chauncey Billiops back in the lineup

Ricky Rubio: international icon
man, Pekhas been unlucky with a lot of his shots this year. They roll on the rim and spin out.
I already watched GW defeat James Madison this evening (in a game that should have set basketball back about fifty years), so this is some bonus hoops!
GW has a freshman, Kevin Larsen, who has the broadest shoulders I have ever seen on a Colonial. His upper body actually looks like Pek.
James Madison had a cool logo at center court
Let Blake shoot all the long twos he wants.
so Steimsma gets playing time over D Will. oof
Remember when Wolves-Clips opened the (2010?) season and it was a game between two horrific teams? Yeah, me neither.
Nice to come out on top of that quarter, with the breakneck pace seemingly in favor of the Clippers.
WHOA D WILL
More of that, D-Thrill.
Getting outplayed by Matt Barnes means you suck ass.
I do not think that means what you think it means. Barnes is a solid player. Tat poisoned, perhaps, but he's a good player. He could be in the rotation for pretty much any team in the league.
Barnes may be perfectly decent, but he basically went on a 10-0 individual run in the second quarter with the 5 Wolves just standing around trying to figure out wtf Berea was doing on each possession.
I can't really recall, but was Shved on the floor with Barea? They need someone on the floor with him who will distribute the ball, because he's going to call his number far too often if they don't. I'm not a professional, but I think after the first time I drove into the lane out of control and missed a contested layup, I'd probably stop doing that.
I hope when Ricky comes back he's not on the floor for more than 10 minutes a game.
Shved was the ball handler for JJ at least in the second half when I was paying attention.
I remember than one time I like Steimsma.
but jeeze, that dude cant catch a pass.
When these Wolves have a real lead, I never even consider that they might not immediately blow it.
Berea is a trainwreck right now.
I hate it when he decides to call isos for himself over and over. Yuck.
interesting lineup out right now: Ridnour, Lee, Shved, Love, Pek
Oof. Who defends small forward in that lineup? Has to be Lee, doesn't it?
looked like it was Shved
Josh Howard started the game, but only saw 10 minutes of action, Shved with 17
the Dookies beat Ohio St
boo
Pek shooting from behind the basket again.
Love gets away with a push off, then draws a fouls on Blake. lol
He was due.
Shved Shlam
Barea, Shved, Howard, Cunningham, Williams
this could be all sorts of fail.
Stop playing hero ball, Barea.
There is no way the Wolves win this game.
Shved is logging huge minutes this game
Why the F is Shved matched up on the block against Jordan?
And one more late lead given away. I'm going to have an ulcer if I keep watching this team.
D'Andre is dominating the boards since I came home 8 minutes ago.
What the eff was Luke thinking there?
I don't think I like DeAndre Jordan. He has a potty mouth.
I can't even pretend to understand.
WHY ARE YOU PASSING IT AT PEKS FEET!?@?@?!?!
arg
Sha-ved is like what am I supposed to do?
Since the Magic SBNation isn't using it any more, let's change our name to "Fourth Quarter Collapse".
Why did it take like 5 seconds to call a foul while Griffin absolutely mugged Love?
I am pretty sure the Clippers are my least favorite team in the NBA.
So CP3 can kick his leg up in the air, have it brush against a dude, and have it called a foul? Huh.
I was going to say I hate them too, but then that ticky tack bullshit foul.
yeah, are there any likable players on that team?
Chauncey Billiups I suppose.
Nope.
NOBODY EVEN TOUCHED THAT CRY BABY CHRIS "BABY" PAUL!
terrible foul by the Wolves.
SHVED
Seriously, the Wolves need to stop marking Jordan with Shved.
God f.u. Griffin.
That's not a foul on Shved? Ugggggh.
oh, so Kevin Love is pinned on the ground by Griffin and they can throw inbounds.
nice
The Clippers feed has caught absolutely none of that, of course.
I am too emotional to watch this sport. I can't believe how angry it makes me.
Kirilenko is so important to this team. If anyone tells you different, point to this game.
I stayed up until the end of two straight west coast games. I think this is a personal record.
