Not a good day yesterday, but hopefully we can recover quickly from it.

Time for Zach Westbrook to shine

Time for Wiggins to stop being passive.

Matchup of the night Pek vs Bosh.
Strength advantage goes to Pek but Pek struggles defending jumpshooting bigs like when Gasol was having a field day at the Bulls game

I lost all interest in watching Wolves

Hoping Wiggins steps up and takes back the rookie points record. No real hope of winning this match, but I just want some good performances. Hopefully Bennett is fit again and is back to his good form.

As of right now I don't even care to watch this game. We'll see if that changes in the next 6-7 hours...

Would love to see this turn into the Wiggins show but I'm sure Martin will be in control for most of the game. Sigh.

Since we won't have a chance to win this game without Ricky, I'd like to see the rookies and sophomores playing big minutes. Hopefully AB is good to go and Zach gets some decent time instead of letting Mo play like 38 minutes...
Maybe that's also a point where Wiggins steps up considering the star is out and he's like the face of the franchise for this time.

I'm mainly expecting a lot of chucking by Martin, though.

Stupid back to back games.

I hope Lavine start over Mo, makes sence. Without Rubio we dont a chance a nothing, and if Rubio is going to be out. This is going to be ugly.

The only hope is Wiggins, but i dont see for now, i see more Martin becoming what he always was, the most selfish player in the NBA.

If in this couples weeks without Rubio we start to loose almost every games we need start to thinking trading guys like Martin, Brewer, Bud, Pek and even T.Young. And let the kids play more time.

I'm guessing Thad will guard Bosh, Heat don't have anybody against Pek though. I like the Wolves tonight, they match up really well against the Heat

I did say "If".

And by the way, im pretty sure you are happy Guest81, not because Rubio is injured, but because Rubio is not playing for the Wolves.

Do you still think we are better without Rubio ? Or that, there is 100 PG better than him ? And you still think that we stink like the Lakers ?

With Rubio injury, I don't even care. I just think on how the franchise is cursed and has no hope. Once Wiggins is about to become a star, I'm sure he will get injured too. **** this.

Just to get this out of the way, no I'm not happy about the injury. I like Rubio. It doesn't mean I don't acknowledge that his offense is a major problem. He's a mid range PG, because of his shooting problems and because point guard is the deepest position in the game. He's a ton better then Mo Williams though so the Wolves are gonna struggle.

And no nobody stinks as bad as the Lakers. Even the high school team 76er's look better

Stars that have missed major time in their career:

Durant
Westbrook
Love
Howard
Kobe
Nash
George
Parker
Manu
Dirk
Wade

Why do you think it's a curse? Injuries happen to everybody

Saunders needs to give Wiggins the green light. Be super aggressive. Try everything, see where you are at right now.

Also noted: Young, from times to times, is looking like a different player out there, since he caught that elbow against Chicago.

Bad things happen in bunches to the Wolves. Just when hope is shining through. Never fails.
