Barea won't play, but will get some serious bling before tonight's game

Would be nice to go 2-0 vs the defending champs. My g/f is a Mavs fan, I live near Dallas, all reasons to hope for a victory tonight moreso than most normal nights, for me personally anyways.

But we desperately need a win considering how poorly we played on Monday and considering the upcoming sked.

Exactly, we need the win here, but I will predict that it'll be more of a fight than it was previously, even against the Dirk-less Mavs. We likely aren't shooting 60 percent of our threes anymore, and the crowd is against us. Keeping our heads held up and playing hard despite the recent losses will hopefully earn us the victory.

Any word on how Wes is feeling? Might be seeing more of Derrick at the starting 3 if he's still out.

Injuries: For the Wolves, C Brad Miller (knee), G Martell Webster (back), G J.J. Barea (hamstring) and F Michael Beasley (foot) are out. G/F Wes Johnson (illness) is questionable. G Luke Ridnour (knee), C Darko Milicic (hip) and F Anthony Tolliver (wrist) missed practice but are probable.

You know it's bad when you need coaches to fill in just so you can run 5 on 5 drills.

Maybe we'll end up like the GSW a few years back when they played with a 6 man rotation a couple games? :lol:

Luke is out tonight because of sore knee so Wolves down now to just 2 healthy guards and a not-so-chipper looking Wes, who will try to play

Might see some Ellington at the point tonight : (

Eeesh. So much for possibly taking advantage of the lack of Dirk.

Wow, lol. So we have 1 PG, 1 SG and a sick SF suited up? Yea, I think ellington is going to play some point and williams/tolliver is going to have to play some 3. I really cant see really cant see Wes, Ellington and Rubio playing all 48 minutes, lol

We may see some Magic Randolph after all!

Post #12 » by **C.lupus** » Thu Jan 26, 2012 1:01 am

Wow, I guess Rubio and Ellington are going to play 48. Maybe time for a ten day contract Kahn?

Kahn interview coming up on FSN

Hopefully Magic Randolph can have another beast game vs the Mavs again.

Krapinsky · Post #17 » by **Krapinsky** » Thu Jan 26, 2012 1:10 am

We can't do D-League call ups with 15 men on the roster, right?

Dallas ring presentation if anyone is interested. Barea just got his.

can't do a 10 day or d-league call up with full roster.

Nuggets sign Kosta to 3 yr 9 mil extension. Did they see something we didn't? Just his size?
Clips and now Nuggets are collecting our scrubs.

We are really going to have to stay out of foul trouble tonight. Best guess is that wayne will play backup PG.

Ricky 36, Wayne 12
Wayne 24, Wes 24
Williams 36, Tolliver 12
Love 36, Randolph 12
Darko 24, Pek 24
