[and one]

UH OH! an under .500 team.

[J Smitty]

They already beat us at home. Lightning doesn't strike in the same place twice, does it?

Realistically, after that last game, we shouldn't lose to them for another 5 years.

[pickaxe]

Just as long as they believe the wolf in the logo is growling and not yawning, they will be ok.

[el loco]

They have been losing them, but they do stay in games on most nights.

[KAVK]

Leave no doubt!

This is MUST Win game. I am happy with Petro thus far, he can be more....

[J Smitty]

Oh noes...the long awaited Melo v Darko showdown!! Who will prevail?

[MHZ]

Major news in that Ryan Hollins isn't playing, due to suspension. This changes the entire makeup of this game. Everything I thought I knew going in is completely different now.

I assume Love will get the nod.

[J Smitty]

DARKO!!!

[MHZ]

Holy ****, I thought that was a joke. Apparently the Wolves confirmed Darko is starting on their Twitter. I hope they brought a few extra jerseys for the Hulkster.

[MHZ]

Nice first half... Good lord. One would think they'd be a little more motivated out there going into a 4 in 5 deal this weekend, and in such a tight conference/division.

[cpfsf]

Darko is 4 points away from a double-double

[KAVK]

Oh lord........

[MHZ]

JR on that oop. GIF worthy, for sure. Also, JR was enormous hitting those three 3's in a row when the team critically needed them.

I liked the way Melo played defense tonight. He was battling out there. He didn't shoot well, but the rest of his game was really superb. I'm sure Snake has a problem with how he looked when he was drinking Gatorade or something, but I really liked his effort tonight.

Wow, our second unit in that second quarter was like a D-League lineup.

They better come out better this weekend, or it's going to be a brutal 4 in 5 stretch.

[el loco]

Nice win. Brewer is playing well for them or at least he has in the games I have seen him play.

[el loco]

That alley oop will make someone a nice avi

[pickaxe]

That oop was.....the best. Doesn't get better than that. Well, there are posters that are better than that - but that dunk just had it.

[berserker]

Am I the only one who thinks that JR is really benefitting from, and being influenced by, Arron Afflalo's work ethic and attention to detail ?

He's really improved a great deal on offense and on defense. And wow. I knew JR could get up but that was sick. Gotta be play of the day.

[Nutty Nats Fan]

Looks like once Kmart is back, Petro won't be playing anymore.

No reason why Malik should even get minutes if Petro hasn't played a ton. Need to give him more game experience and get him in better shape to help in the playoffs.

[KAVK]

Petro has a chance to prove himself while K Martin's out. If we get Cook Allen's era will be over for SURE.

We need to focus on these road games since Dallas is still hot and racking them Wins up.

I liked the team figuring out to turning it on when it needs to be. J.R dunk was sick.
