FYI - timberwolves.com pulled the TV listings again (except for the WGN and NBATV games).

I checked the schedule earlier today and noticed the same thing, really wondering what the deal is. This is like the third time they have taken it down. I'm really hoping they figure this out by Wednesday.

I'm hoping its because they're arranging some more TV games in lieu of the preseason hype/success

is anybody going to this game, I'm behind the Wolves bench, gimme a woot woot if you see me, I'll be the one that looks like me

Because at the time I created that username, we seemingly had no hope. Things are different now though I still like my name lol.

Wednesdays game: Dalembert was supposed to be put for about 4 weeks but he's trying to come back on Friday. Wish we had for this game though.

Injuries happen. We miss Flynn and maybe Webster and/or Johnson as well. Get over it. :dontknow:

About 3 weeks ago we e-mailed our Timberwolves sales rep and asked him when we could finally expect a TV schedule. He took almost 2 weeks to get back to us. His reply was "the tv schedule has not been released yet and they should have it figured out soon, hopefully before the beginning of the season" - It amazes me that this is not ironed out yet. Our high school football teams know when they will be on cable tv long before our pro basketball team does.

Yeah, this is unreal. Two days before the season opener and no TV schedule. Somebody's head is rolling somewhere.

On another note. I can't wait to see Cousins v. the Balkan Bash Bros. It will be interesting to see who fouls out first - Pekovic or Cousins.

won free tickets to go to the game but it is the first day of league volleyball. Tried to get them switched so I could go but not luck! Can't wait for the Wolves to prove they are no joke!

I really liked them on the floor together. They make a very nice high-low team.

Darko isn't punishing anyone ... I just hope Cousins doesn't go off on us and make us his puppies

Interesting, no Evans. We have a chance to start well with 3 winnable games right away.
I predict we win but have to score 115 to do so, and Pekovic and Cousins have to be separated by teammates at some point.

Devils...
That must be a trait of Timberwolves fans - I look like me too. I sit on the bench side 1/2 way up mid court - love the view.

I'll be there.

Howdy Wolves fans, Kings fan here.

I think Minnesota is going to win this one, not because Tyreke is out, but because I can't remember the last time the Kings have won at Minnesota. Until they prove they can do so, I will give the edge to the Wolves. K. Love will go off on us for sure and so will Corey Brewer (as always). I do however, predict a close game, somewhere between 7-10 point win margin by the home team. Good luck to you all & let's hope for a fun & entertaining game.

I'm calling your bluffs. I'll bet neither of you actually look like me. Pics or GTFO.

Not if you are the one dancing with the dog.

Can't wait to see this one. I want to see how Minny looks like. Are they going to be as expected (one of the worst) or exceed expectations and be regarded as one of the brighter teams in the NBA this year? From their preseaon, they look rather impressive.

This will be the Kings 7th straight season that starts as a road game. The last time the Kings played their first game of the regular season in Sacramento is when LeBron James made his debut in the NBA back in 2003:

The schedule gods hasn't been fair to the Kings in a while.

Anyways, I think I have to give the edge to Minny in this one. The Kings will be without Tyreke and Dalembert. And Minny is relatively is at full strength as of right now.

For me, I just want to see DeMarcus Cousins own the Minny frontline. That would make my day. Win or loss

I just wanna win. Kings are in their 7th year straight with a 3 game road trip to start the season and that is BS. I am just so damn excited for this season to begin.

Yes, the Cousins/Darko matchup will be fun. It should be a battle. Pekovic will also be seeing his first NBA regular season action. Should be a pretty active game in the paint.

I can see Darko getting under Cousins' skin a little bit this game. He gets frustrated a bit too easy. It'll be a good early test for him. I'll predict a Kings win, but I can see it going the other way.

Good luck for the game and for your season (but not too much of course

).

Krapinsky · Post #39 » by **Krapinsky** » Tue Oct 26, 2010 4:38 pm

I predict Wolves win by 4 in a close game. MVP of the game will be Darko.

Cousins, if you decide to make an issue about Minnesota not drafting you, at least have the cajones to say it before the game.

Looking forward to the trash talk (hopefully from Darko and Cousins do the talking). Well, everyone knows the rules. Loser gets stuck with Harrison Barnes
