Timberwolves 2012-2013

[schmitty3]

Big win on national TV! Pek, Love, and Barea all came up big.

Ricky still has a long way to go.

[Scott M]

Nice win! Missed it fooling around in the garage tonight, will have to settle for highlights.

[Scott K]

I missed the game tonight as well. Figures, out spending money foolishly, and miss a good game

[mrklean]

Huge win for the wolves tonight

[ozzie]

Big win but how lo g are they going to continue to let Rubio go out there n almost cost them the game ? He is just not ready to be playing at the NBA level right now. Give him another month of practicing n bringing him off the bench with the scrubs until he can handle himself....

[IceHawk]

Great victory and a great game!

[Scott M]

Josh Howard was released yesterday, he was playing decent but he did end up having a torn ACL in the knee opposite to the one he was recovering from. Tough break for a guy that was helping the Wolves out.

[bgreen82]

Malcolm Lee also out for season. Apparently Michael Redd is an option they're looking at. We need Ricky back so we can bundle a JJ/Luke combo with D-Will or something. We NEED a perimeter player who can create his own shot and shoot the 3!

[EBass]

I stand corrected. Nice W for the wolves last night! K-Love went off, Pek in the 3rd and JJ in the 4th.

[Snag]

I didn't see the first 3 quarters, but saw that Love had 7 assists. That might be close to a career high for him. Barea can be a stud like last night or total dud on other nights. I wish Budinger hadn't gotten injured. He could shoot the 3 and was pretty athletic.

Ridnour does nothing for me and I wish Williams could get out of Adelman's dog house.

I'm glad we don't have to watch Wes Johnson and Beasley anymore. AK-47 and Schved are much better all around players.

[Scott K]

The Wolves have some nice breaks in our schedule throughout the year now. Perfect time to rest some players, and work on the chemistry with others. They have 1 more tough game to get through, then a couple more easier teams to play.

The Wolves should be well rested, and have a good game plan for Sundays game against NY. If we can come out of this 4 game stretch, with 2 wins, and 2 losses, we did better then I expected. But I was thinking the Magic game was going to be a win, and the OKC a loss. But a win is a win.

[Scott M]

Gasol for Ridnour, Williams, Roy, and Pek? No way. Pek is worth way too much.

Reddick for Williams? I'd do it to win now, we need a good 2 guard bad. But I'd cringe if Williams blew up. He's never going to get that chance here so I guess you can't really hold it against him if he flourishes elsewhere.

Anybody got any other D Will trade scenarios?

[schmitty3]

I don't see D Will ever blowing up. He doesn't have a good jumper, and doesn't have the size to bang with the big's inside. Maybe if he started going up strong when taking it to the rim, but he seems to always try to put up those circus shots and that just doesn't work in the NBA.

[Scott K]

I would take Reddick for Williams, but we would need to sign him to a future contract, I am pretty sure he is on the last year of his deal with Orlando. Kinda a tough give a way for a half a season though if he doesnt resign.

I dont want to give up Pek, I want him to be our Center for many years to come.

[bgreen82]

I would hate to see Gasol in MN, especially at the expense of Pek. I love Nikolai! I'd do Williams for Reddick. I heard rumors about Ben Gordon but dont know if that is feasible. It does get me going though.

[Scott K]

The way it sounds is they are going to scrape the bottom of the barrel of the free agent pool, and try to get some one on the cheap, just to have another warm body on the bench for Williams to talk to.

Lazar Hayward was in yesterday trying out, and I guess if he passes a physical, they will sign him. I cant imagine he is near game shape though.

[Scott K]

Just a thought,

Any thoughts of Raja Bell from Utah? He is in the dog house there, and hasnt played this year. It is his last year of his contract, and I think we could get him cheap.

[Scott K]

We just cant get a break. Lee out for the season, Love got an eye injury, and is out for a couple games. It would have been nice to have Love against NY tomorrow.

[hoppe56307]

Sounds like Roy might be cleared to play tomorrow. Not getting my hopes up though.

[Scott M]

Roy goes from supposed to start to needing another month. Kahn as G.M. has a batting average with drafts and free agents about on line with McHale as G.M.

[Scott K]

They need to cut him before the deadline, and open up $5m and find a decent SG.

[schmitty3]

Wolves just signed Lazar Hayward

[Scott K]

I am not sure if Love being injured is a bad, or a good thing. The Wolves sure seem to play better ball when he isnt on the court to jack up shots, and complain to the refs. Anyhow, the Wolves come out on top last night, even though they deserved to lose. But Denver just deserved to lose a little bit more.

[hugonian1]

Well we will find out as Love has another broken bone in his hand.

[schmitty3]

Unbelievable.
