wolves could be w/out 5 of their top 6 players: love, roy, rubio, pekovic and budinger. regardless, they are still a tough team that plays together and is well coached. kirilenko, shved and ridnour have been playing very pretty good recently.

I've been following MKG for a while and he always ran like either he's tired or hurting. I don't know if it's just his swag or what but I don't think that slouching demeanor does his back any favors. He'll be OK

oh yeah I've noticed that too he always seems to be kinda limping around so its hard to tell but he legitimately got hurt last night coming out of the game and all. and he looked extra limpy when he did come back in

It will be a very equal match... MIN without a lot of the starters, CHA are on a btb, and without 1 (maybe 2-3) of their best players... I fancy MIN 'cause of the home court.

Go Cats!

4-3? We can't be this good or can we? I got us winning if BG play tonight

Go Cats!

I really like their roster when healthy

that said they aren't healthy at all.

without Pek I think our backcourt can abuse theirs faster than their front court can abuse ours

Barea might be out as well as he has been for some time now.

We really could be looking at this lineup:
Steimsma
D-Will/Amundson
AK47/Cunningham
Malcolm Lee/Shved
Ridnour/Conroy

Ouch. We should be alright. I have no idea how that team has a 5-2 start with all the injuries.

That indeed will be the lineup tonight. Barea, Roy, and Pekovic are not playing. The Wolves have been winning with defense so far. Not sure how long it will last.

Anyway, good luck tonight.

Good luck to you guys as well. I actually kind of wish Pekovic and Barea, the guys who are day-to-day, would play tonight just because you're such a entertaining team to watch. I hope you guys get past the injury bug soon.

BG not playing, per Bonnell. I think he did not travel with the team.

To all the degenerate gamblers on our board - the line is +7 for Minny. I love going with us for this one. Despite all their injury problems, I still think they are probably going to get the W, but I don't see them winning by double digits with 9 players.

Well at the very least I am very excited to get another look at MKG. His numbers have gone up lately, how has he been progressing'?

I think you mean it's -7 for Minny, right? I'm pretty sure they are the favorites in this game.

i had a dream last night that i was playing against the twolves in 2k13. derrick williams had the ball at the top of the key, drove past his man into the paint and threw down a monsterous dunk. his dunk intensity rating was so high that it somehow magically raised all the stats of myplayer. yeah, how's that for a random basketball dream?

Was the man that he drove past happen to be Mullens? If so, I believe your dream may come true.
