I've watched a couple of quarters and highlights, but have never sat through the whole game.
Anyone else do the same?

Well, same goes for me...
The only game i've completely watched was the game @ Boston...we were down by like 30 at half time

Living in Germany, it is quite hard to watch games because games are in the middle of the night here and even if you're awake you need to find a stream for the game (which is virtually impossible if the game is against another bad team

) I usually try to watch games at the weekend because they are earlier then...but I often don't manage to watch more than 2 or 3 quarters because I often fall asleep then (especially when the Wolves are playing bad

) I wouldn't even try to watch tonights game because it's unlikely that anyone will stream Wolves - Clippers

Guess I've watched more of Boston, Orlando and Cleveland this season than of the Timberwolves because I always end up watching these teams if I don't find a wolves stream with nice quality....

I cannot say the same. When I've gone home for the weekend or spring break I caught a few full games. I gave up on pie though. Not really worth my time right now...If I had an HD channel with all the wolves games I'd watch every single one. I just like cheering for some of our young guys as well as the vets. At least they leave it all out on the floor every night..from what I can tell..

I still try to catch as many games as possible. Especially as of late because there are only a handful left. Last season I had some serious withdrawal issues and I want to soak as much in as I can now cause in a couple of months I'll be yearning for opening day. It seemed like the off-season lasted for two years to me. Now when I will start thinking about a seasoned Love, drafted players, return of Brewer and Al, I'll be ready to kill for some wolves action. On top of that I have to keep up with +/- and it's funner to watch players get their points live. A game within the game so to speak.

Yea Miller certainly does leave a lot shots out on the floor.

I wish I could actually convince myself not watching them but it doesn't work somehow. even if there's no pie available I watch the box score. right now I'm glad I have semester break (next week I gotta go to university again though) so I can follow them without any problems.
I can't encourage myself watching other teams unless it's a really meaningful game like Celtics vs Lakers etc because I do not want to spend my nights watching other teams. even if it's unlikely for the Wolves to win a game I try to watch it. I know it's tough watching this team but I love them way too much to not watch them.
oh and usually game threads are too interesting to not participate.

I have watched all of them besides 1 or 2 when pie wasn't available. So I just listened to those.

I watch every game that I can, and I cheer for the Wolves no matter what. I love the lottery and all, but I'd much rather see our young pups get a victory.

since I don't have cable these days I automatically zone into any NBA game I happen to catch on TV
I check lots of box scores too, I like seeing big games from our young guys, or young guy I guess it is right now. Hope to see one monster game from Love before the end of the season

I haven't been able to watch many games recently due to working in the evenings. I'd like to see them, though.

I'm glad I can't watch here in Iowa, when I went home for holidays and what not, I couldn't not watch whole games and all it did was get me good and pissed off... I usually watched at the bar with my friends so then I ended up drunk and pissed off...

I think the only full game I've really watched recently was the Utah game, and I ended up being glad I did
