Charlotte at Minnesota Timberwolves 1/1

[ziggy]

A couple of cool things happen at tonight's matchup against the Big Ticket and the rest of the T-Wolves.

* The return of the leather ball
* Our first chance at a 3 game win streak

Minnesota is 13-15 and outside of Kevin Garnett and Ricky Davis (when he decides to play) the T-Wolves have nothing (good work building that team Kevin McHale )

Tonight we get the job done and extend our win streak to 3.

I'm not sure nor hopeful about how new ball will affect Morrison's shooting performance. He's coming off a strong play, he looks as if he adjusted new ball. And also we play at home, where Adam usually sucks

They have no significant players other than Garnett and Davis. And they rarely play well at the same time. If we shut down one of 'em, we'd be so close to 3 game win-streak.

But we'll be lacking Gerald's slashing play. Hopefully he won't be out so much. Our 5 will be like Felton, Carroll, Morrison, Okafor,Brezec IMO. And May will be our punch off the bench. I see a victory tonight...

By the way, don't forget Foye. Morrison vs. Foye would be fun to watch.

Even with Crash being out this game I still see us winning. Like you guys said they have no one besides KG and Ricky Davis. So I see our winning streak extending to 3.

Cant wait to get thair tonight. This could be the 3rd in a row. Loseing crash hurts but May has the ability to step up. Look for big games out of CAROL , Morrisom .and May tonight. and us keeping the streak going .

[ziggy]

Fortunately for us, we're getting back Sean May at the same time that we're losing Crash. Sean should be easily pick up the slack on the offensive end and on the boards. Defensively is where we're going to really miss him though.

[tamburello]

Woo hoo.. Only 16 minutes passed, but we're demolishing Wolves 46-28. We shot 6-7 from downtown Carroll, Felton, Morrison, actually everybody rocks.

[ziggy]

50-30 with 5:26 left in the 2nd quarter.

Minnesota is getting their collective asses kicked. It sure is nice to be on the other side of these beatdowns for a change.

[Wallace15]

Hells yeah, it's fucking great to finally be kicking someones ass.

[tamburello]

We're fucking just our asses. We let a huge 20-point lead slip away. We lead only 55-47. I'm remembering the last season's opener, in which we gave away the game to Bulls after leading something like 24 points.

Please not again..
