Wolves Win #5

[mr_jman]

Like everyone else is saying, if anything every game they do win is close and very exciting. Even a lot of the losing efforts are close. TOO BAD they couldn't have beat the Celtics out there though. SO CLOSE!

KG was or still may be my favorite player, but I thought that little jersey thing he did was a smack in the face of the team he grew up with. Sure he wanted out and is playing on a team with at least a good chance at the NBA finals. And he deserves to get a ring there after playing on a mediocre Wolves team for several years now.

Oh well, the Wolves could provide something fun to watch when the Wild or Gophers aren't on anyways!

I see Al Jefferson was the Western conference player of the week, he will have many more of those in a T-wolves jersey. I hope somehow he gets selected to the all-star game as a reserve, I think he deserves to be on the roster.

Jefferson will never be able to hold KG's Jock strap thats just plain NUTS to even believe that for a second.

Don't get me wrong I love Jeff but to try and compare defense, passing, desire and brain power to KG's is just RIDICULOUS to say the least!

That being said I still like the trade and it may work out for the better for us.

Jeff is an awesome low post player, defensively he is still TERRIBLE and probably always will be but if we put some talent around him we can be decent I think.

The Celtics loss was a tragedy I would have fired DA coach on DA spot!!!!!

25 or 30 wins is a pipe dream!

Yep, Jefferson is a good player but he's no all around player like KG. Al does have some nice games and could put up very respectable numbers but he isn't KG.

Getting 25 - 30 wins would be amazing and nearly impossible. The Wolves could get about 20 maybe. Beating the Celtics at home would be all I need this year!

I see Jason Kidd wants to be traded, if we could only get him to MN without giving up alot of talent. He would be a nice addition to this young team, as a leader.

Remember that Garnett got traded because his contract pretty much tied the organization's hands behind their back. I'm a huge KG fan, but it just wasn't working out without blowing it up and starting over, which is completely on McHale.

Jefferson's game will only get better. I believe individual defense is a teaching and effort thing. Certain teams in the league are known for their team defense, and certain players for individual defense. Teach Al what to do and he will get better defending his own basket.

Should be a good game with the Bulls tonight.

maybe 25-30 is unrealistic but lets say from here on out they go .400, that would round up to 15-16 more wins(depends if you round up or down) and that would be 23-24 games. i think that they finally have some confidence and will keep on winning some games. will i be suprised if they win around 20-30, not at all. i honestly think that they finally have this somewhat turned around. Then again i am usually overly optomistic when it comes to the wolves
