I would be awesome if the Wolves win this game.

Wolves at San Antonio 7:30pm
Who saw this coming?

With the way Adelman ripped Darko! before the game for not keeping himself in shape, I wonder how much you'll see him even w/ Pek out
The Wolves are 2 games back of Houston for the #8 seed, but are 11th in the Western Conference. Because I havent looked at the standing in a while, I was surprised to see the Wolves with a losing record. This year, it seems like they have 45 wins!
Wolves @ LA Lakers 9:30pm
Last night's loss hurt. The Wolves are 2 games back for the 8th playoff slot and had a chance to cut it to a game behind Denver because they lost. I listened to bits and pieces of the game on the radio last night and things seems alright. Ridnour had 13 assists and 4 turnovers, but those 4 turnovers seemed to come at really bad times. JJ Barea seemed to have a bad game with 5 turnover. Paul Millsap had 8 steals and they all seemed like at the end of the game and overtime. Blarg.
Hopefully Kevin Love can go tonight, he hurt his thumb late in the game and had X-rays afterward. As of this writing, it seems like he is ok but the whole Twin Cities sports landscape has been snakebitten with injuries, one just never knows...a simple tweak turns out to be a broken everything it seems like.
Luke Ridnour has notched 32 assists to 11 turnovers since replacing Rubio.
Go Wolves
Wolves @ Phoenix 9pm
The Wolves have a record of 21-21. They also have a record of 9-9 on the road. The Suns have 19 wins on the year and 12 at home. This will be a tough test for the Pups. Darko is inactive tonight for some reason.
Go Wolves
New Orleans @ Target Center 7pm
the game is on NBATV, but not on FSN
as you might know, Ricky Rubio is out for the year with that stupid knee injury. You know what, its not time to swallow the pill of defeat. No, its time to stand up and rally around this team! We got a player that no other team has...Pek! We got an MVP caliber player in Kevin Love! We got a Hall of Fame coach in Rick Adelman! We are going to the playoffs! GUARANTEE! RAH!

LA Lakers @ Target Center 7pm
Minnesota has not beaten the Lakers in 5 years. I guess that what happens when the franchise hires terrible coaches and has little talent. This year is different. The Wolves have a different kind of swagger about them. Heck, they
have swagger. Maybe this is giddiness about a winning record, but I am guessing the Wolves win this one tonight.
Portland @ Target Center 7pm
Can Kevin Love continue his stat building without wins? We shall see!
Twins and Wolves catch all
Twins on FSN+ right now, Wolves on the regular FSN at 7. Instead of cluttering up the CoC, how about a catch all post.
Wolves @ Portland 9pm
The Wolves have been living out of their suitcase since the All Star Break, 4th game in 5 days. After this the Wolves return home for a week then go on a grueling 7 game roadie. I'm not saying this is a must win, but man it would be super sweet (my prediction coming out of the break is that the Wolves would go 2-2).
Portland has a few 'whoa, those guys are playing' on the roster: Kurt Thomas (not playing tonight), Marcus Camby, Gerald Wallace.

Wolves @ Phoenix 8:oo pm
I think last night was just 'one of those games'. Every team gets blown out a few times a year, and luckily for our Wolves, its been few and far between this year. Plus, the Lakers have our number having beating the Wolves 52 times (it seems) in a row. The Lakers/Wolves is is like what the Yankees are to the Twins. I dont know who would play Joe Mauer on the Wolves.
