Stein Tweets Wolves Likely Get Gelabale

Stiemsma starting equals the end of civilization

Amoundson backing him up is a slap into the face of the human extinction.

I believe that while SG is clearly a need, we have a bigger need for a back-up center. Ridnour .. as poorly as he fits as a back-up SG, plays that position better than Steimsma or Amundson play back-up center. If Pek goes down and Steimsma actually start, our team should be ridiculed.

We obviously need a better center off the bench. Steamer can be nice off the bench occasionally but I cringe at the very thought of him starting the next few games. Lou backing him up will be even worse. The next few games will be pick-our-poison games

And yes, I agree with you wholeheartedly.

Did he even practice lol? I think he's going to have to play at least 20 minutes or so

[GopherIt!]

Already got some footage of him working out at the Target Center.

Mr Garrison is our only hope.

When Gelabale, I expect he will only get garbage minutes for the Wolves for the next ten days.

So yes, he could be a starter.
