Derek Williams dream trade status: none, because the Wolves need healthy bodies right now.
A wise a man once said low expectations are the easiest to meet. Well citizens, expectations are low tonight. 4th game in 5 nights. No Rubio. Kevin Love is having digestive problems. Oh, and the Wolves are playing the Heat tonight.
On the bright side, I don't think we have to worry about blowing a 15 point lead. With that said, I'd love the chance to blow a 15 point lead against the Heat.
Saturday night was a lot of fun. Get your Rubio fix in tonight as MGMT has already stated he will be sitting tomorrow against Miami.
I found an e-mail Kevin Love sent last week. It was cute. He changed the lyrics of a song and sent them to Ricky.
Good morning to you I hope you're feeling better, baby
Thinking of me while you are far away
Counting the days until your free to pass again
Writing this e-mail, hoping you're okaySaved you the lockert you used to dress in every Sunday
The one that is warmed by sunshine every day
And we'll get to know each other for a second time
And then you can tell me 'bout your rehab stayFeels so good you're coming home soon
It's gonna to be good to have you back again with me
Watching the laughter play around your eyes
Come up and fetch you, alley oop passes are so money
Kissing just the net will be so niceFeels so good you're coming home soon
Running the way we used to run
And it could be so nice
Dunking the way we used to dunk
And it could be so niceFeels so good you're coming home soon
Feels so good you're coming home soon
Soon is now. Rubio plays tonight. The playoff push begins. It is time to enjoy basketball again.
Rubio'll come out
Tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar
That tomorrow
There'll be Rubio!
Just thinkin' about
Rubio
Clears away the Barea,
And the sorrow
'Til there's none!
When I'm stuck a day
That's JJ,
And lonely,
I just stick out my chin
And Grin,
And Say,
Oh
Rubio'll come out
Tomorrow
So ya gotta hang on
'Til tomorrow
Come what may
Tomorrow!
Tomorrow!
I love ya
Tomorrow!
Rubio is just
A day
A way!
Day dreaming of Saturday

pregame read: Britt Robson interviews Jim Pete, part 2
The Wolves have an amazing 10 game losing streak against the Celtics that dates back to 2007. He is the starting lineup the last time a W happened:
Ricky Davis
Kevin Garnett
Mark Blount
Randy Foye
Trenton Hassell
also, someone names Justin Reed came off the bench for the Wolves. He played 81 games in 2 seasons for the locals and I have no recollection of him.
The Celtics get Rajon Rondo back from suspension. So thats pretty awesome.
