1. I don't think the Wolves will have as much luck against the Thunder as they did in their last match up.

2. The Thunder are currently on pace to score zero points this game.

   1. It was good while it lasted.

3. Wolves wearing their black uniforms tonight. Are they in mourning?

4. Please, let Perk challenge Pek. Please.

5. Kendrick Perkins wants a piece of Pek.
   I'll place my bets on Pek.

6. Remember last time when we stuck it to OKC? Good times.

7. By the end of this game the Wolves are going to convince me that they will have a chance against OKC in the 1/8 playoff matchup.

8. Dante Blockingman.

9. I got a good feeling about tonight, dammit.

10. One thing I love about the Wolves since Adelman and his staff has taken over is that the Wolves never give up. They are competitive in most games (I mean everyone is going to have a blowout loss or 2 every year) and they play hard even though they have like 4 healthy players.

    1. they play hard even though they have like exactly 4 healthy players.

       FTFY

    2. Yeah, it's nice to be cheering for a team that has a coach who knows what the hell he's doing.

       1. Now about that GM....

          1. One thing at a time.

11. Pek is better at being strong that I am at anything.

12. wow, #2 Michigan is only up 7 on Nebrasketball.

13. How did *that* go in???

14. boy, Stiemsma is altering a lot of shots/shot angles tonight.

15. Did we ever get an update on Budinger?

    1. 2 more months.

       1. Damn, I was hoping for an ahead of schedule 1 month, dammit.

16. need a Russian translation for 'pickpocket'

    1. Where's that CH when you need him? Okay, I'll give 'er a go: карманник

17. I'm getting less of a good feeling about tonight, dammit.

    1. Hold on, that feeling is coming back, dammit.

18. Running Russians!

19. this is a nice little rally.

20. Kevin Durant gets the Dwayne Wade calls.

    1. One of those players deserves them.

21. Sweet pass for Shved.

    1. Shved is the best. Ricky+Alexey for 30 mpg, please, dammit.

       1. Ricky, Shved, Kirilenko, Williams, Pek

          that would be my dream lineup right now.

22. down by 5 at the half.
    we have a chance.

23. I have no idea if this will work.

    

    1. And that was a foul on AK.

    2. There was a .gif there for a minute! I swear. Here is the link.

       1. 403 forbidden

          1. 

             Did this work?

             1. It did not, dammit.

                1. But the URL did. Cripes. How in the hell is that a foul, dammit?

                   1. because Kevin Durant can do no wrong.

       2. Download it and upload it somewhere else if you want to embed it.

24. the Gophers game is sure a physical one.

25. the Wolves are getting close to having this one slip away.

26. I'm finding myself fairly torn over OKC. I want to like them because of Durant, but I find myself hating them because of the former Seattle thing and Westbrook.

27. ok, keep that OKC luchador off the screen.

28. This game is turning very not good.

    1. Yeah, that feeling I had that went away and came back again is gone again.

       Did I mention how much I dislike Westbrook?

       1. He should stick to his brother playing football.

          1. Err...cousin.

             1. Also, it appears Brian Westbrook isn't really his cousin and also he's retired.

                Man, that was a disaster!

                1. Well, to hell with Russel Westbrook anyway, that smug asshole.

29. Rodney Williams with a thunderous dunk, and it doesnt crack his top 20 list.

30. Among the things I never want to see again: Derrick Williams doing anything on offense other than spot shooting off a pass. That turn around "post move" was... not good.

    1. he is so slow in his motions. the way he dribbles, drives the basket, spins. Everything but a spot shot.
       Its like he is thinking while he has the ball instead of letting his game flow naturally.

       1. Caged Sloth.

31. So I'm calling this one a loss, but I'm blaming it on having it being the back end of a home-away back-to-back. That's a valid excuse and will be reflected in the game story, right?

    1. and no Barea. Because this team needs its gritty hero ball guard.

       1. Luke seemed to try to play Bareaball. It was even more frustrating with him.

32. Amundson! Amundson!

33. Gophers up at the half, so that's good. I think the Gophers have a really good record (better than expected?) when they lead at the half.

34. I dont have the stats, but it sure seems like the Gophers are mopping up the rebounds on both ends of the floor.

    1. Only +2 tonight. Gophers leading the nation in offensive rebounding, but only have 7 tonight with four minutes left.

35. Dre Hollins from literally half court!!!

36. Gophers 3-0 in the B1G for the first time (officially) since 1975. Can't wait for Sunday.

37. that was a quality win. Illinois really made a charge in the first part of 2nd half and the Gophers took that blow and dominated the last past of the second half.

38. @JeffEisenberg

    Takeaway from tonight: Even at home, Indiana is going to have its hands full with Minnesota. Gophers are very good.
