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.
Wolves @ Lakers 9:30pm
Last night's win was simply awesome. Between Derrick Williams being unleashed to Micheal Beasley going en fuego leading to this awesome exchange a the :28 mark between Ricky Rubio and The Beas (also, Ricky Rubio has gotta be leading the lead in .gifs. His passes, his dances, his dusting people off. what a joy).
Last night's win also guaranteed a winning record for the month of February (now 8-6 for the month) and that is now 2 straight winning months (January they went 10-8). Before Jan, the last time they had a winning month was January of 2009 when Kevin McHale took over for the fired Randy Wittman and went 10-5. THREE years without a winning month. ye gods. The last time the Wolves had back to back winning months, you gotta go back to 2005 (!!!) when again Kevin McHale took over for a fired coach in Flip Saunders and had winning records in March (10-5) and April (6-4).
wow. just wow.
Wolves @ Clippers 9:30pm
fire up the Colortinis cause its a late night West Coast NBA game
the Wolves are on a two game stop at Staples Center, playing the Clippers tonight and the Lakers (Kobe-less?) tomorrow. The Wolves have a tough stretch coming out of the All Star break with a West Coast swing (LAC Tues, LAL Wed, Phoenix Thurs and Portland Sat). 2-2 this week would be pretty good in my book.
