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

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.
