No Bev due to personal reasons. Should still win.

My T-Wolves fan buddy is coming over for the game so if they lose it'll be 2x as bad

I heard that Harden needs 22 points to reach 10,000 in his career. Not bad for a 26 year old!

I hope that it is nothing serious.

We're playing sloppy against a bad team. Is anyone surprised?

Prince is guarding Harden but instead we are playing through Lawson who has Wiggins on him. Really JB? Jesus dude.

I think its a pretty good effort from a scrappy Wolves squad. Rox on B2B also but I like what Houston is doing. Harden can get busy in 4Q.

Dwight said "hey that's a foul!" And got a T. Seriously.

2 games over .500 for the first time this season.

Harden has scored over 10,000 points in his young season.

Not a pretty game, but a good night.

Ugly game. The Wolves were on a B2B as well, so you can't make excuses.

On the bright side, Jason Terry has stepped it up recently.

sorry for not posting here recently
i'm disappointed in this team
they only play hard against winning team
they always play careless against losing team
they forgot losing team play harder against you too
McHale was right this team wasn't playing hard enough

one thing i noticed recently is Howard changed his FT technique
no i'm not talking about where he raise him arm to simulate his FT motion in the beginning
i'm talking about releasing the ball
it seems he put more arc to his release
just started notice this in the past 3-4 games

The secret is that they are actually a good team when the remember that fact.

He started that at the beginning of the year too then reverted to his normal release, hopefully that doesn't happen again
