Darko didn't make the trip to Houston!
Yayyyy! More Pek baby!
JJ made the trip but is unlikely to play.
Lee obviously didn’t make the trip.
Any other injury updates??
I watch this team, and i care so much, simply because i can’t not. It’s just a part of who i am..
I heard Kevin Martin is questionable with plantar fasciitis

Has to be the right matchup
If he’s playing against a physical center he’s basically useless 90% of the time.
And as TA said, he’s inconsistent.
I watch this team, and i care so much, simply because i can’t not. It’s just a part of who i am..
So he's a 5?
I thought he was kind of like a less balanced version of Lamar Odom?
Couldn’t he put time in at the 3, 4, or 5?

Simmons was very nice about it
but the interesting part was how the nation’s swept up by being able to access all the games all the time. Apparently in his world home games are never blacked out. That or he can get cable games on his phone (no clue, can you?)

Wait...did Chris Duhon start for Orlando?
Why would Dwight ever want to leave?
He who rides a wolf cannot dismount.
Definitely
Dwight is Lebronish in his media savvy, and always has been. But, yikes. Bench of Q, Baby, Earl Clark, Larry Hughes, and Von Wafer? They aren’t winning anything this year and have no chance to keep him.
He who rides a wolf cannot dismount.
I know it's easy to look at the money these guys make
and then knock them for wanting to have control over where they play, but in what other profession is the “talent” so utterly unable to control their own career?
If players could pick their teams, I don’t think we’d see a lot of Miami’s, but I do think teams with lousy ownership would find it impossible to get decent players. And would it be so terrible if Jimmer and the other Utah players got to actually play in Utah?
Yo ho ho and a FirstRow stream!
I guess, but that's all part of the deal in a way.
I don’t have a problem with him wanting to play for a different team. But he doesn’t have to go about it this way by selling out his teammates and dealing with it mid-season.
Follow me on Twitter @timallenonline
But it's all predicated by a system
that reserves the ultimate control to 30 (mostly) old white guys and, correct me if I’m wrong, but not one owner has ever played the game, Jordan excepted.
For bizarre reasons our pro leagues are all chained to a system that exploits but does not otherwise cater to fans, the people whose taxes pay for those arenas.
Yo ho ho and a FirstRow stream!
Well, those are some much larger issues.
I just wish Howard would handle his own situation a little bit better

Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana.
We very much do.
And I think the true battle would be between Pek’s tattoo and Chuck’s beard.
They wouldn't
Pek is one of Chuck Norris’s gonads.
Chuck Norris is 5'6"
Pek is 6’10" & outweighs Chuckyboy by 50 kilos
Chuck looks better in movies tho, or he did when he was Pek’s age, but now he’s older than Pek’s father.
If Pek punched Chuck,
Chuck would explode, and then (due to his considerable, but sub-Pek powers) reconstitute as Jermaine Stewart due to loss of mass and manliness.

stop taking that fucking shot
Luke
please don’t telegraph when you’re in takeover mode.
Anytime we hava an open ·pointer is as I was looking a halftime fan contest
To win some laundry coupon or an appearance in an used cars advertising.
Nobody seems to even try to hit
KMart is back in, it's time for our starters to come back
that’s Rubio + Love btw, I don’t care about the rest of em but I would like to see Pek + Webster
This lineup is not working
I've changed my sig. The Wolves are now like a reasonably decent meal.

webster keeps his man in front of him, luke loves backs.
I wish you were talking about Martell

KMart 5 points in 2 possessions against Martell
4 points in 9 minutes otherwise. Cut Webster, obviously.
He who rides a wolf cannot dismount.
If beasley could only could play this well all the time...
Hopefully watching from the bench will put things into perspective for him. Motivation helps sometimes other than in the form of money.
O really, you think your funny well Fukudome!!!
Late to the party...
so forgive me if it’s been said 48 times already, but this Rockets booth troupe is AWFUL.

But it is interesting how the Wolves can play some abhorrent basketball and still be in every single game this year.

Michael Beasley never won a “Most Articulate” award in school.

…most likely to succeed.

Beasley shooting without thinking
Always the key to success. “No conscious”…Yeah!
One thing I noticed
The Twolves have a knack for closing out the 2nd half. Rubio becomes much more aggressive and so does the rest of the team.
O really, you think your funny well Fukudome!!!
Rubio with 4 pts, 4 rebounds and 4 assists. Love with 10 pts, 4 rebounds. Beasley 15 pts on 6-8 shooting.
by Souvik Roy Chowdhury on Jan 30, 2012 8:08 PM CST reply actions
Great showing by Beasley
Hopefully good sign of things to come.. if he stays in Minnesota
O really, you think your funny well Fukudome!!!
Pace still favors Houston
but if we slow down just a bit, we can win this…
Ricky is lobbing at an Ooptimal level!
no continuity at either side of the ball
houston will start firing in the third, i hope they can stay with them in the first 4-5 minutes of the quarter.
It was explained in one of those "explain your handle" threads
and it doesn’t mean what you think.
I don't remember what it meant either
but I do remember being relieved that it was more innocuous than I thought. I just don’t think it was thought out too well.
i'm sure this has been covered before, but...
is it a copyright thing, or a slowing down of internets thing?

Orlando won’t score 70 and lost (but not by much).

They have to trade him
They have to get something, because if he walks… there’s nothing there besides Ryan Anderson. Which says it all really.
T'Wolves 2012: Where Players We Hate Suck All The Time
i think they'll wait
until after the all-star game (in orlando)
i wouldn’t want him to come back immediately after being traded
If he walks? He’s leaving i’m 100% sure he’s leaving. He’ll go to the Lakers I bet and they’ll get Bynum and some bench warmers back.

I'm really itching to hand Houston a home loss
for a list of reasons, but foremost is to make Scola pay for that cheap shot….
Ricky is lobbing at an Ooptimal level!
I'd love to see KLove light him up for another 25 points tonight!

I don't think he aimed, was just spray and prey
on the other hand, the Houston announcers could use a tough loss, they’re horrible
Unicorns do exists, on wolves skin.
I swear I watched every minute of the first half
but it wasn’t until I looked at the box score just now that I found out Brad Miller played.
I like this Beasley and I love Martell.
Yo ho ho and a FirstRow stream!
Nah
Its good to leave one on the bench to have a scorer against other teams second units alla the Jet, OJ Mayo.
miller and love
kind of look alike in standard definition from far away
I was in the upper deck Sunday night
and I needed to see numbers to tell Love, Miller, and Pek apart if they were all standing still.

Melo you could kind of see replacing, but Dwight is irreplaceable for the most part.
