It's also on the website ESPN plus streaming live. 10 bucks a month and well worth it.

Atta baby kgdabom. Call me crazy but with the right odds I'd bet $100 buck on the Wolves making it to the Western Conference Finals. With their talent and if things fall the right way that's very realistic in my mind.

BTW, I made my first Wolves bet in 20 years last year betting $100 bucks on the Wolves o/u 35 wins. I thought the over was a mortal lock cinch....and it was.

Jamal Crawford is with Sean Grady as the broadcast team tonight. Love the combo.

The game is starting late for some reason. It should be underway momentarily.

That should help my bet, but we're already behind 10-2

We look like bleep so far. Minott has been exposed. His compete on rebounds is feeble at best. Moore just as bad.

I don't know why but this last generation of basketball players just absolutely cannot box out. It's so weird, no one can do it. We haven't drafted a guy who can box out in a decade. It's a drastic change.

My biggest pet peeve.


I'd make them all watch Charles Barkley and Dennis Rodman video when it comes to rebounding box out and rim/ball anticipation.

Walker Kessler can box out. Of course technically we didn't draft him.

Miller and Minott a combined 0-7, but only down 5 points?

I like Wendell Moore -- I see lots getting really negative on him. I can see the pieces to be a pretty solid role player I hope they stick with him.

Did Miller get thrown out or is the team sitting him?

No reason to risk injury. We know what we have in him.
