This one could go either way. Without Beasley, our offensive side may be a bit lacking. If we play the way we play against top tier teams, instead of the way we played against teams like the Nuggets and Cats, we could win this. But the Wolves have been very inconsistant, so we'll see. I just hope the best happens.

Good ol' Flip Saunders, always liked him and always will.

Guys, what should I do, it's 00:15 over here at the moment, the games at 1:00 but I'm up for college at 7:30! Really wanna watch it but I don't want to be shagged for college tomorrow, dilemma. Might watch the first half the call it a day..but I'm stupid enough to just watch the whole thing..thoughts?

To be honest, the Wolves should win this, but without Beasley, someone is going to have to step up and score 20+ points. I think Wes will be more aggressive and Love needs 20 & 20.

It will be a good game to watch, but education comes first. Stay in School kids.

I'd say sleep, but then again I have something to hand in for Uni tomorrow, and I'll probably waste time watching the game anyway, so I really can't talk.

Case in point: I'm in class right now, but on RealGM, so take my advice with a pinch of salt

#Wizards are 0-18 on the road this year. Lost 19 straight going back to last season. #Twolves #Timberwolves

@kevinlove has 6 20/20 games this year. That matches #Twolves record held by KG set in 2003-04 season. #Timberwolves

@kevinlove has 34 double-doubles already this year. Career high set last year at 36. #Twolves #Timberwolves

Pek yells "Bill, give me the ball" at Laimbeer, who gives a look like "It's on now." Would love to see that rumble. #Twolves #Timberwolves

Coach Rambis tells media pregame that Beasley will not play tonight. Remains day-to-day with a sprained left ankle. #Twolves

I hope to see some more of that aggressiveness that Wes played with last game.

What could have been with KG and Marbury...

Anyway, this SHOULD be a win but I'm worried that it might not. With Beasley out they're going to need a team effort and guys like Martell to step up, which they haven't really shown so far this season. Washington is pretty bad though and I wouldn't be surprised if Love had a monster game but, on the other side, Wall will probably have a big one too.

Damn I wish we got Wall. Him, Beasley and Love would have been a hell of a core to build around.

Ice32..that's what I was thinking. Going to watch the first half, I'm a **** sleeper anyway. Mon' you Wolves!

Washington has won 0 of their 18 road games (10 of 18 home games). Minnesota has won 7 of their 18 home games (2 of 21 road games).

That actually scares me. Wolves should win this but...

can we really say that about any of the 29 teams whether at home or on the road though

Yeah, so many of the games they "should" win this year, they come out sluggish. Classic case of playing down to their competition. That said, I predict a solid win tonight. No more mister nice puppies.

Yep, that's amazing. DSW doing work and I don't mean running that shoe warehouse either.

We might have severe trouble handling John Wall. With his quickness, he can blow right past our PG's.
