Jerry Zgoda listed the guys they are bringing into camp. Nobody that will make the team anyway. JZ speculated about the Wolves making a run at Raja Bell to add a good wing defender and veteran; Bell will not be invited to the Jazz camp after clashing with Ty Corbin. Bell is under contract for another year and 3.5 million.

This really sucks, having him and Rubio both out for at least the first month of the season could very well kill our playoff chances. The West is so deep we can't really afford to have a bad month. Hopefully D-Will and Brandon Roy can step up and keep us in the mix until those two come back.

it was a pretty good game last night to watch. But we need someone to step it up in the 4th quarter and be the man. So far, no one has been stepping into that role. If we can get someone to be the go to 4th quarter guy, I dont think we will drop off much without Love.

We are going to be much improved on defense, even more so with Love out. If they can hang in there, and stay around .500 ball for the first 20 games until Love and Rubio get back, they should make the rest of the season interesting. Being the Wolves have a easy schedule the first quarter of the season, going .500 without Love and Rubio, shouldnt be out of the question.

Nice comeback win away against a potential 2-4 seed in the East. Great contributions from JJ, Cunningham, Schved, Roy, Pek, and AK47. A few in the media scoffed at the Wolves playing .500 ball until Love and Rubio are back. It's still too early to say, but it appears possible 3 games in.

I wasnt able to watch the game last night, but I checked out all of the highlights, nice comeback. Hopefully they can carry that drive into their next games. The way I look at it is, Love is out another 15 games or so. If we can win 7 of them, we are .500. Then another 10 games and Ricky will be back. But, then comes the tough part of the schedule as well. At least the season isnt a wash, like it was at the end of last year. We still have hope!

Barea got a warning from the league office about flopping. Should have put money on him when the season started. Him and Manu, Rudy Fernandez...there's a lot of good floppers. Funny so many are international.

the thing I don't get about the JJ warning is that on the play he was pushed with a forearm by Freddette right to his face? You have to react to those things otherwise the refs may not call those falls....yes JJ does do his fair share of flopping but then again he is one of the smallest guys in the league.

Yep, jumped on em early, let off a little, then finished strong. It's probably a blessing the schedule early is light. It'll be hard to add in Love and Rubio, work them into game shape, and have to win on the fly.

Well we are back out looking for some more players to fill our roster. Budinger needs knee surgery, JJ out for awhile yet, Love out until mid December, Rubio, out until around Christmas, Roy has been limited in practices, and is a question mark. This just sucks!

Pek sprained his ankle tonight, but the Wolves keep finding a way. A win in Dallas. Against all odds they keep it up...Adelman had to do this when Ming and McGrady were hurt all the time. Can't wait for Love and Rubio to get back...

I think we're going to have to put Crunch and the towel boy in the rotation before long... Wow! They keep finding a way though. That's system basketball versus individual efforts basketball. The bottom line is, even with our rash of injuries we are still finding a way to win against very good teams. And we are still flying under the radar. This could be a fun year!

It is nice seeing 4-5 players in double figures almost every game. But it would be nice as well, if we had a healthy crew. If we can stay close to .500 ball through December, I think we have a good chance going pretty deep in the playoffs.

What is keeping us afloat now is the coaching. If a player fails to play team ball, or plays wildly (see Williams) he gets a reduced role, even in times of need, such as players injured, and fouled out, like last night.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
