1. even though Pek didnt make that basket, that low bounce pass from Rubio is what the offense has missed in his absence.

2. Pek! is the best, yeah?

   1. is going to be sad when Kahn!!!! trades him for a sack of magical beans 🙁

      1. I really hope he's willing to take a slightly smaller contract to stay. The guy's at least a top 5 center right now.

3. Another great first quarter.

   I wish the Wolves only played first quarters. This season has taught me to dread the third quarter.

   1. Better than the last two years when you had to dread the 3rd and 4th quarters.

4. 10 and 8 on 4/5 shooting is like the Pek!-iest first quarter ever.

   1. with what, 3 or 4 offensive boards

      1. 3. I was going to mention that, but it ruins my narrative a bit because it wasn't 5 or 6.

5. I took the yearly Jeopardy online qualifier test earlier tonight. Out of 50 questions I feel pretty good saying I got at least 30 correct. However, based on reactions on twitter most people got somewhere between 45 to 50 right. Oh well, I've got a couple of these and a Wolves lead to fall back on.

   1. One of those is more reliable than the other. (Although with that lazy pussy Love out......)

   2. I've been drinking some home brew and plan to have a little of this later, since I'm taking tomorrow off.

   3. Diet Cranberry Sierra Mist

      it sounds kinda gross, but its quite refreshing

   4. I've done the Jeopardy test before- that sounds about like how I did.
      I don't know many people who would get 45-50 right. I think they might be overestimating their abilities, but maybe you follow a bunch of really smart Twitter-people?

      1. Oh no, I used checked the hash tag JeopardyTest after I saw someone on my timeline use it. I bombed in Literature questions but did really well in most others.

   5. I'm taking it tomorrow night. I never get enough to qualify because there are several categories I literally know nothing about, like opera and ballet. I get a better percentage of questions right while watching the show, though I think I read somewhere they intentionally make the televised questions easier so it's more appealing for fans.

      1. That would make sense. I felt good about how I did. I don't expect to make it on the show but it always feels good to work out the ol' brain.

6. It seems there is a loose lion on the court tonight.

   1. nobody call the animal wrangler.

7. Shaved and Rubio on the court at the same time? Be still, my beating heart.

8. i love how much better rubio makes everyone else on the floor.

9. Would you say your favorite part about Rubio is how much better DWill plays when he is on the court?

10. I just turned the game on. Who is this guy wearing Derrick Williams' number we traded him for?

11. holy heck..7 dimes for Rubio

12. what the hell are all these really long shots, like, outside that line thingy on the floor, that the pups are making?

    1. It must be because Love is out. TRAED LUV FOR PAUL GASOLL!

13. SO.MANY.UNDERHANDED.PASSES.

14. Cunningham grabbed that off. rebound with 4 Hawks just standing there. wow

15. This game has been pretty fun so far.

16. That VW with that Dad not knowing how to throw a baseball is pretty funny.

    1. As long as you don't believe that all VW owners throw like that.

       1. As long as they don't make one about Dads who don't know how to curl.

          1. It won't star this guy, I can tell you.

17. Judging by how the team is playing tonight I decided to dial up the trade machine.

    http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=ax4rxbv

    1. I never should have touched that link.

       1. Also, fire Coach Rick.

          /strib'd/

          1. PORTER RULES!!!1!!!11

             1. How do we not get Wes Johnson back? I think you did this wrong.

                1. Not eligible to come back until next season per CBA regulations.

                   1. Dammit, that's too bad. Maybe Kahn could apply for an exemption.

18. I'm breaking out into Hveds

    1. *Shveds

       1. I like Hveds

          1. Shved induced hives?

             1. That works. Sucks to be allergic to my hero, though.

                1. Can you gets hives from excitement?

                   1. I am going with it

                   2. They might actually just be from my wife's marathon session of 'Keeping up with the Kardashians'.

19. That was definitely not a normal Wolves third quarter.

20. if Pek plays this quarter, he could get a 20-20 game.

21. Anthony Tolliver sighting!!!

22. it seems like Shved tosses up a fadeaway 3 point attempt at least 5 times a game

    1. I'll give him that one as a shot clock shot. Rubio had his back on that steal, though.

23. So why is Korver shooting free throws here? I do not understand this call.

24. AK47 coming up huge there.

    1. Kiri-mother-effing-lenko.

25. In case anyone was wondering I bet the Hawks and the under in tonight's game.

    1. What was the O/U?

       1. 188.5

          1. I would like it if you lost twice tonight.

             1. I would also like Rubio in for the last minute instead of Luke.

26. I can't believe how successful Luke is with that floater.

27. About time it got back to Big Pek. He hadn't touched it in several minutes.

    1. A recipe for no success.

28. Think I just saw Nick Punto in the crowd next to the hockey players. Must be there to support JJ.

    1. I'm going to backtrack the DVR once there's a break.

29. Dante Automaticman.

30. I love DC Ham.

    1. Yeah, that guy has to be one of the most underrated dudes ever, right?

       1. Like, for real.

31. Cool stealy, bro.

32. MVD!

33. Dante Cunningham?
    Dante Cunningham!

34. Shaddy McCants once scored 28 points against the Hawks.
    Kyle Korver now plays for the Hawks.
    Tonight, the Wolves beat the Hawks.
    Coincidence? I think not!

    1. Nice almost-syllogism.

       1. We're using a broad definition of that these days!

          1. these meta jokes (joaks) are killing me.
