Should be able to win this one, hopefully. Pistons just played in Houston last night...Gotta contain Monroe who's been fantastic.

Luke - Questionable for tonight(personal)
Barea - Probable
Beasley - ? Still out I believe

Detroit will be without Charlie Villanueva, possibly Will Bynum(missed last night)

Is Luke's absence related to his son? Anybody know?

I was gonna say, right when I saw the pics, Michael Jackson's "Black or White" song popped into my head.

And I'll be at the game tonight too, also my first of the year!

I see Rubio's skin has already become acclimated to our weather.

Need this one bad. The upcoming schedule looks difficult.

I'm a little worried about this one. We should be able to beat Detroit. But we are only 1-6 v. Eastern Conference teams (4-2 v. West). Weird stat.

Need this one as it's a team we should easily beat and we haven't done that consistently. If Barea can't play and Ridnour is gone could get ugly.

I do feel this is the one game in two weeks where we get a really good quarter of play from Darko before he disappears for the rest of the game and the next 6.

That is odd. We seem to do well at home though, even if our record doesn't show it. The only really bad loss was Cleveland at home, but we stayed close to Miami, Memphis, Chicago, OKC and then beat Dallas/SAS here(SAS winless on the road, undefeated at home).


I'm worried someone like Ben Gordon/Price are going to come out and dominate us.

I hope we don't pull another "Cavalier" game, lose focus, and lose on our home floor. Anything can happen, but these are games you got to pull out, especially with the difficult schedule coming up.

I'd like to jinx us right now by saying I expect a solid start and getting out in front by 15 in Q2, a lull in the third and a mid Q4 rally to win by double digits. It's a call.

i'm gonna miss the game. I'll watch it tomorrows morning reading this post at the same time, it's not the same in cold, but you feel a little bit of live flavour.

Have fun! go wolves!

Wish list:
Love 30 - 14 -
Johnson 18 - 8
Rubio 15pts - 6reb - 12ass - 4stl - 3 TO

and ofc a WIN!

Return to Minnesota Timberwolves
