Speaking of work, which is a day care/kindergarten with a bi-cultural background (German and Norwegian), I have been rocking an old KG jersey the last two days. A few of the kids' fathers and I have been chatting basketball over the past year but they support other teams. So earlier today, a father of a kid who will join my group after the summer, approached me and was wondering if I am a Wolves fan. Much to my delight, he said he's also been a fan of the Wolves ever since he lived there some years ago. There's only a handful of Norwegians who are interested in basketball, much less support the Wolves and one of them will have his kid in my group soon. Now there's two of us here in Oslo :rock:

Awesome story! Did you ever marry the ball girl who works the Wolves games? I still see her at times and I wonder if you ever made it happen. :lol:

KAT doing everything in his power to get KG attached to this team. The Sealy jersey will push him over the edge lol.

I was actually thinking about her earlier this season, but man I forgot about that!

The guy two rows in front of me haven't sit down since warm up. If it's one of you, please sit for a while. It's electric but still a lot of games left

Is it just me or do a bunch of the Mavs screens seem far more illegal than is usually allowed.

Game 6 people were standing for about 70 percent of the game. Gonna have to get used to it buddy, unless we start losing bad that is.

I am shocked that the Mavs go on a run as soon as he touches the floor. Finch may love the guy, but he’s unplayable in the playoffs.

This line up is struggling. At the off season we really need a good back up PG when Mike sit.

Not of a fan of KAT taking more contact on a drive than Kyrie and yet only one of them gets a call.

Need Ant to get more involved, Kyle to be smarter about what he is doing (not camping out in the corner or behind the line,) need Karl to get the whistle when he is mauled, and NAW to remember he is good at defense.

I agree. But the Mavs are literally not guarding Kyle at all. Really hard to play 4 on 5.

Our defense represents a lack of will. Can take a charge, put’em on the floor, or whatever… watching us coddle him right now is mystifying
