as we lost our 7th game of the season--Minny WON it's 7th tonight.

it will be hard to root against these guys Friday....at least for the 1st quarter or so.

I think this game will be a lot of fun. Minn is starting to get some confidence and Big Al, and Gomes have been great lately.

Im not anticipating a win but hopefully we can make it a game. Im just excited to watch KG and our(twolves) young guys.

Good luck guys!(not that you'll need it)

This will be fun. Still love Al. Even Gomes to a lesser degree. Plus, the Minny board is great. Really good people.

I have a special place in my heart for Big Al and Gomes. Telfair and Ratliff, not so much.

Thank you, i agree, most people on our board are pretty laid back. I also like visiting your guys's board so i can keep track of KG a little bit, and also you like to converse about our young guys.

No one really cares about Antoine Walker in this league, not even the league itself. Take a look at his player page on NBA.com: http://www.nba.com/playerfile/antoine_walker/index.html

Yeah, your board is awesome. I post there sometimes. The best part is you have as far as I've seen, no trolls. Which is pretty incredible. Any thread involving Minny fans is always civil and polite, it's by far my favorite opposing team board.

I think being humble is a required characteristic if you are going to be a wolves fan...... :)

Yeah but it's not that phony just because you're losing politeness. When you guys win (from my experience) you don't rush over to the other team's board and start talking smack. The Wolves could have our record and the Minny board would still be chill.

its true. I think we could both agree that our boards are both very cool. Except you guys get a lot more trolls than we do. Either way, good luck on Friday.

Yeah, coming to this Celtic board this season, I realized you guys are pretty cool(I didn't think so at the time of the trade), and I enjoy posting in the game threads with you guys

No one forgot. We ran him out of town and with good reason. Now he's finished, and no one cares. Whoop-dee-doo!

I still like Antoine and I hope he has a triple double on friday and reminds ungrateful Celtics fans with a short memory how much he meant for and gave to the franchise before DA shipped him out (for reasons I still think had to do with DA asserting his power and ownership over the team and not becuase it was good trade that helped the team in, really, anyway whatsoever).

Bring on the bizarro world celtics...

I think this will be a fun game friday night... the C's better bring their "A" game cause I'm sure the young Timberwolves comprised of many former Celtic players will be pumped up!

May the better team win! :) good luck!
