Minnesota Timberwolves at Charlotte Bobcats 12/1

The Timberwolves have a few players that we debated until we were blue in the face during previous drafts

• Rodney Carney
• Corey Brewer
• Kevin Love

Oddly, none of these guys are performing at a level to write home about. The player that makes this team go is Al Jefferson. 22ppg, 10+ rebounds per game, throw in 1.5 blocks per game and 50% shooting and you wind up with one hell of a player.

The Bobcats have been playing some good ball over the last four games, we're a respectable 2-2. ( could have been 3-1 if we didn't let the Celtics off the hook ). The next two games against the Wolves Monday and the Thunder Wednesday smell like a 2 game winning streak to me.
Anybody else smell it?

I'm probably going to the game by myself. If any regulars want my extra ticket, send me a PM...4th row behind Larry Brown.

If we win the next 2 games, we'll be 7-11...Guess I could live with that.

I'm actually a little worried about these games only because they look easy, and this team over the years has put up lackluster performances against NBA dregs, as opposed to getting up for marquee teams like the Celtics of the last two years, and the Lakers since year one. They smell like trap games to me, but with the coach we now have, I'm only slightly anxious about these games, and think, if the guys can stay focused and stop with the unforced TOs (Raymond!), we're looking at 7-11....and that ain't bad all things considered.

On the off chance MJ is there, please make sure to tell him Rashad needs to get back on the Wolves' plane.

It is nice to win games when you are the underdog, but we must win the games against lesser teams. This game is a game in which we should win by a comfortable margin of
10+. Just as long as we play up to our potential and play smartly. A loss tonight would be so demoralizing, I dont even want to think about it.

I feel good about tonight's game, I think we come out with a win tonight...:cool:

Cats (5-11), Wolves (4-11),... they (Wolves) crave our record and they're not gonna let some 8000 fans get in their way.

All jokes aside, tonight's a win-win situation, in that the Cats cannot (must not) lose. I worry about the vs Thunder game though, now THEY have (and want) something to prove, our guys on the floor should just keep their heads clear and heed Larry's voice and it's a +2.

They've beaten Detroit and Philly, and they've been playing .500 ball over the last 6 games.

This is no "gimme", but I still expect us to win (assuming none of the starters shoots 10% and has 6 TOs). :rolleyes:

If only I had gas money, I would go to this game ;-;
