OK. We’ll discuss Dallas loss a lot in the next two days. But we have a game coming Saturday so we have to carry on with all the goods and bads we have. In a season like this, I think we should let ourselves to be more tolerant with our team and our players. Maybe from this Saturday on, Harris will be playing with Stockton’s soul in him... Don’t laugh, who knows? Maybe he will... ;)

Minnesota Timberwolves (7-8) vs Utah Jazz (9-5)

The “Did you know?” fact:

*Did you know the bumps on a basketball are called “pebbling”? As you know, they make it easier to grip the ball. According to the Spalding website, there are 122 dots per square inch on a Spalding basketball which makes approximately 35,000 dots total. Some basketballs have different designs, though, and will have a different number of total dots.


Song of the game : Walking On The Moon by “The Police”... (it’s just for my mood and own taste, you are all free to pick another song from among the other exactly 97218456 songs.)

Note 1 : Will be updated if something changes or in case of a necessity.
Note 2 : My apologies to everyone for the crowded thread and mistakes.
Note 3 : Lineups are from my own expectations.
Note 4 : I don’t think I’ll be able to make a game thread for a while, maybe I make one, about 5 games later...

I wonder how many people here will tell after this game, I wish we had Ricky Rubio ...
 
WTF with Harris' shoe on the first shot?
WTF with his other leg? Is he zombie bitten or something?

Reactions: MVP
The past few years the Twolves seemed to give the Jazz a lot of issues, not sure if it is just a personnel matchup thing or just one of those things where one team just plays better against another but this is definitely not an easy game.
 
We better get a W.
I hope we come out with some fire and determination to crush them and make up for Dallas.
Play the whole game like they did the 3rd quarter.

Speaking of, I think I liked it better when they sucked in the 3rd quarter and killed it in the 4th and won.
 
I expect Jefferson to just rage this game. The Wolves don't really have any good interior defenders.
 
Last year Big Al played vs Miny he struggled quite a bit. I saw few of their games this season and it is very solid team and easy on the eye, especially when Rubio runs the show. They shoot lots of threes and we defend perimeter poorly so if their shot is falling it could be long night. Tough game awaits, I would not be surprised if it goes down to the wire and we lose.

Minnesota won't be a pushover. They have been in several games before losing at the end. It should be a fun, competitive matchup.
