Go wolves! If we come out with some good energy I think we got this game. Hopefully they learned their lesson that they simply arent good enough to coast to wins.

Micheal Beasley did not make the road trip. He will stay in Minnesota and ummm, well he will stay in Minnesota.

OJ Mayo is one of the best defenders in the league, hes a two way player and hes a great passer and playmaker.

The Raptors (tied with our record at 3-5) recently got absolutely blown out by the Sixers. My hope is that we can continue our level of play from the Wizards game and deliver the Raptors another beating. Although, to be fair, we were blown out by Cavs as well before the Wizards game, where we won.

Adelman will have to manage the minutes closely in these next two. Love can't play 40 mins every night. We don't want anyone else breaking down in the b2b2b.

The thing that I noticed about our wins so far, is that our 3PT shooting is crucial to our success. I don't want our team to be known as one of those "live by the 3, die by the 3" teams. I want these guys to move the ball and get easy baskets off assists like old Adelman teams get.

Didn't his Rockets lead the league in assists at 23.8 per game?

Anyways, If we don't get cold from 3 and at least shoot a decent percent from the arc (36% or above), we can take this game. Our paint defense has been trash, but lucky for us, their best players like to work on the perimeter. (Bargs, Jose, DD)

Another W is needed considering we play the Bulls tomorrow and I don't want to see us fall to 3-7. :-?

Raptors are a tough opponent, though. Bargnani has really improved this season from what I've seen.

The most surprising thing so far for the Raptors, he's selecting his shots and is actually focused on defense.

I don't think a bad shooting night doesn't necessarily equal a poor performance.. I know they were losses, but against OKC, we shot 3-22 and lost by 4. And against MIami we shot 11-29 and lost by 2. I do think though, when we shoot it well, it'll be hard for any team to beat us cause once it gets going, it seems hard to stop.
