Birdies @ Wolfies

I realize that the referees are sometimes afraid to make a game-deciding bad call, but I've always said, a bad no-call can just as easily decide the game.  We saw that on Monday when Shawn Marion capped off a career night by using a wily veteran move and grabbing Kevin Love's arm while he's trying to shoot.

At least the league admitted it was a mistake, but if that play happens in the middle of the 2nd quarter, it's a foul 95% of the time.  Refs, like players, shouldn't worry about being clutch.  They should officiate the end of the game like they would any other part of the game.

Anywho, the Wolves play the Pelicans tonight and will win by at least 50.

Dallas at Minnesota. 7pm.

The last basketball game of the calendar year is a big one. Minnesota (15-15)is looking to make a move in the standings after a up and down 2 months and Dallas (17-13) is right in front of them.

Every time I see Dallas play, I say 'that guy is still in the league?!'. Tonight, I will say that about Wayne Ellington.

This game is the first of a three game home stand for the Wolves, their first of the season. The schedule makers really have not been kind to home locals.

Wolves @ Bucks

I had a good time last night at the Wolves game.  Three minutes into the game and they were down 9-0, but by the middle of the 3rd quarter, the game was pretty much a blowout.  After the game, I saw Rubio leaving in his vehicle (he drives a Range Rover) and was about 10 feet away from him, which was pretty cool.

The Wolves have struggled big time in the second half of back-to-backs, but they have an easier task tonight against Milwaukee and their starters got a lot of rest in the 4th quarter last night.

Wolves in LA, part 1. 9:30ish

game is on ESPN

The Wolves travel to LA and just like earlier this year, the schedule is kind because they get an off day in between the Lakers and Clippers games.

No more talk of the long losing streak to the Lakers and hey, maybe the local can get their own 53 game winning streak! Rubio is playing, but is battling 'illness' and of course no Kobe for the Lakers. Moar Wes Johnson!

go team go.
