game is on TNT
the last time the Wolves won a game in LA was Dec 2 2005 yeesh.
No Kirilenko tonight. HAM starts in his place.
Rick Adelman Chuckle Hut quote of the night (via Joan Niesen):
Joan Niesen @JoanNiesen
When asked if there was a point when he gained more trust in Derrick, he said: "Well, Kevin Love's broken his hand twice."
game is on ESPN and FSN
the last time the Wolves had a 2 game win streak, you had to go back to Dec 7-15 (4 game win streak), Since then they have gone 7-21. Thats like Randy Wittman era like ineptitude.
The Wolves are 12-12 at home, while the Jazz are 9-18 on the road.
I hope this game the Wolves remember that Pek! is awesome and it would be great to get him the ball in the 4th quarter
and this team needs more Chris Johnson
another doubleheader sports night in Minnesota
NBA: Portland @ Minnesota 7pm FSN+
If you missed it Saturday, here is Ricky Rubio doing Ricky Rubio things. Saturday was probably the best game the Wolves have played all year. They got out to a huge 1st quarter lead, extended it to over 30 points at times, and cruised to a win.
NHL: Minnesota @ Phoenix 8pm FSN
The Wild made a trade today
The Wild press release describes Rupp this way
Rupp, 33, has totaled 94 points (53-41=94) and 765 penalty minutes (PIM) in 565 NHL games during parts of 10 seasons with New Jersey, Phoenix, Columbus, Pittsburgh and the New York Rangers.
ok then.
lets hope for 2 victories from out favorite winter sports squads!
LA Lakers @ Minnesota 8:30pm
TV: ESPN, My29
a modest win streak has place the Lakers (10) ahead of the slumping Wolves (12) in the West. The Wolves come in with a healthier roster than this time last week, but also have a 5 game losing streak. Speaking of losing streaks, the Lakers have beat the Wolves 19 straight times (and 23 out 24). the roster from the last Wolves win is amazing.
Minnesota Wild @ Anaheim Ducks 9:00pm
TV: FSN
Saku Koivu -v- Mikko Koivu . Also, Teemu Selanne is still playing.
y'know, in case anyone's around...
A good game for Dakota Watts. Oswaldo Arcia does what he does best. A home run for the Maestro!
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.
