I didn't see someone claiming this GT so I decided to create it

S5

I hope they start like this
Foye
Miller
Gomes
Love
Jefferson

but this one is rather likely
Ollie
Foye
Miller
Gomes
Jefferson


vs

Harris
Carter
Simmons
Yi
Lopez


key match up
Foye vs Harris.
I don't think it will happen but I certainly hope that Foye comes close to what Harris will do tonight and I'm quite sure Harris will be on fire tonight.

prediction: I have no clue. anything is possible with this team. I just want to see them being competetive and not Love being the only one who cares. I either want to see a W or a big blowout like 120-75 to see Wittman being fired hopefully after tonights game.

ARRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I don't care if we win or lose. I just want Love to do well, preferably another double-double.

I was going to go to this game but considering the way we are playing why bother. I get to watch Harris tear our guards apart in HD though that should be fun

I have a surprisingly good feeling about this game, despite the capitulation we've shown in the last two. I'm sure my enthusiasm will be dampened by the time the third quarter rolls 'round :(

Jefferson is gonna go beasting all over Lopez, spinning around him and popping Js over him till Lopez is stunned into a catatonic state on the bench. Love is gonna knock Yi's skinny butt into the stands. Foye and McCants will be raining threes all night and Miller will limp in at the end to hit 4 consecutive threes for the dagger.

A guy can dream can't he?

Lopez is going to ball on us and make us wish we had him next to Al. Harris is going to tear through our soft D like Charmin toilet paper, ,and Wolves Will Win. ARRRRRROOOOOOOOOO!!!!

And Randy Wittman will be drawing up sick plays and orchestrating the team like a fine composer at the helm of the London Philharmonics.

And Brewer will miraculously return from injury and tell Foye to get his ass off the court as he guards Devin Harris and holds him to his lowest scoring output of the season. Foye will then realize he's back on the bench now and can get more comfortable into a scoring mode.

I see pie!!! I just hope it's good tonight. I've got nothing better to do I can put up with us getting handled if need be. Hopefully Love plays good tonight, Al learns how to handle this new defense everyone's been throwing at him, Foye plays like he's been playing, and we win the game. If 2 out of these 5 things happen I'll be happy.

That is what you get for making that Wittman is fired thread.

I am excited for this game. I hope Love and Jefferson dominate and can continue starting together. Foye covering Simmons should be interesting.
