I don't blame them. The Wolves aren't nearly as much fun to watch since he got hurt....not to mention all of our other injuries. I was glued to every play of every game when we were competitive, but now I mostly have the games on in the background while I'm doing something else. Guess I'm a fair-weather fan. Maybe if I were into sadomasochism I'd enjoy watching this team struggle.

I hate this point of the year for me Because I can't watch games live any more due to work commitments during the day here in Australia...

Stupid school terms... bring on the holidays!

Watching Wolves matches live was already difficult due to the hour they are here in Spain (most of them at 02:00 a.m, finishing at 04:30... And then go to work in a questionable shape...) but have to admit that it´s not the same for me without him in the game.

in my case, it might sound silly (and probably is) but that injure really made me feel bad about proffesional sports... I´ve kind of stopped feeling interest for watching mathes for a while (only watched a couple of euroleague matches since then). Hopefully Í´ll start feeling the apetite for basketball soon again... i think I´m almost there.

The excitement that was surrounding this team a month ago has definitely worn off. Rubio was certainly a major part of that excitement but even wothut him this team could be competing for a playoff spot. But there have been too many injuries. We are missing four of our top six guys and are basically last year's squad right now. It's just very frustrating to watch. That said, I'm still watching them.

It's got to be extremely frustrating for the Wolves' marketing department. Starting their season ticket campaign with the "Everybody is talking about the Wolves" slogan right when everybody stopped talking about the Wolves.

I'll admit it, I've given up watching the games. Watching them now, after Rubio and Pek's injuries, is just a kick in the balls. It's basically last year's team, except Wes and Beasley are worse.

I didn't watch because it was the season premier of Game of Thrones. Feels like I waited for this season to start longer than I waited for Rubio to come over from Spain :)

I still watch but yea, the fire is gone from the team and a lot of the excitement is too. When we were battling it was good times.

yeah i still watch every game i just very seldomly watch live as i have LP. watching it fluidly, skipping time outs, some whistles makes it much easier to watch. to be honest though i'd be watching every game live, on the edge of my seat as i was earlier in the season if not for the injuries and we were still looking at the playoffs.

I'm getting to the point where it's hard to watch. Usually it's nice because the young guys will get to play as you see what they can do... But Derrick / Lee are really the only ones to watch and they aren't terribly exciting yet.

I'm pretty much ready for the playoffs. I think it will be a fun year.

I'm totally depressed and sunk, and my psychologist doesn't let me watch the wolves games until next season. Tonight I've decided to fire him.

wow beasley's been injured for a while now and on-off this season and yet you find a way to try to blame him for losses.

ridiculous.
