Minnesota Timberwolves (16-13) @ Charlotte Bobcats (7-21)

Last Game: Minnesota - Loss, 115-122
Last Game: Charlotte - Loss, 83-94

Projected Starting Lineups:











Reserves:










Minnesota has a chance to finally break their road-losing streak. Charlotte is actually a much better team at home (6-8) than on the road (1-13), while Minnesota is just 8-8 on the road this year. It will be a major change of pace after playing the up-and-down Phoenix Suns, because Charlotte is a half-court team that relies on strong defense and post play. KG vs. Okafor should be an exciting match-up for years to come, so their first round against each other should be great.

i believe its 43 to 40 at halftime. in favor of the bobcats. If we lose tonite, i am garenteeing a trade by next tuesday.....

Game is close with 7 minutes to go in the 4th. KG is having another monster game.

blow up the team jesus christ losing to the bobcats BY 12!! with 1 minute left trade spree, wally, t-hud jesus they r selfish and cant score right now wally shoots too much cassell is finally getting it going now i hope but trade these players

Wow. Losing to the Bobcats is really sad. Something needs to change.

[KokoTheMonkey]

Yikes. This is the lowest point that Minnesota has been at in years. Minnesota had the advantage late in the game, but Charlotte made some great plays (Gerald Wallace completely stuffed Wally, then went on to score 5 points in less than 30 seconds after that), and Minnesota played helpless. Griffin looked bad out there. I think he's only playing now because Minnesota has no depth at the 4/5 positions. Sprewell was another no-show. Something has to happen now. If there's a team that's willing to part with something decent to get Sprewell's expiring contract, they need to do it ASAP. Minnesota might need to include Ebi in a deal since he's still a "prospect".

[sheefo13]

trade ndudi ebi? He is probably better off playing for us right now.

RIGHT NOW! SPREWELL FOR SAR

This is about as sad as it gets. wolves will make a trade by next tuesday. I WILL GARENTEE IT. if they dont. Do not expecting me posting here anymore. I will be running the wolves. I will kick mchale out of town.

Honestly we should activate ndudi ebi and release olowokandi. Chances of anyone wanting to play here are very slim now.

ANY TRADE WILL MAKE THIS TEAM BETTER! i dont think mchale gets it.......



wow. I cant believe we got blown out by an expansion team........

I know I'm new here but can I have tickets?

I really hope Mchale is trying to work something out. I read ESPN Insider on what Chad Ford wrote about the Wolves trading Cassel and Spree. I like all of his senarios. Even though Chad Ford doesn't really know what he is talknig about.

[sheefo13]

yeah ususlly he has no idea what he is doing but as long as he has spree out of here, we are on the same page. Activate ndudi once we fall under .500 then we can see someone play who actually wants to play......

[Flanders]

Wow, this is just crazy.

I said after the loss against he Suns that if the Wolves don't win against the Bobcats I will no longer be a Wolves fan until a trade happens...

...and I stand by that. This is totally unacceptable. Our defense is atrocious. We need some damn perimeter defense! Our inside defense ain't all that great either, KG can't do it alone...plus, he's not even a top interior defender. No blocks this game!

We need a trade before the month is over, or else we hit the lottery and miss playoffs.

Baron Davis/Jason Kidd. One of them will have to come here. Both are in losing situations right now. Kidd still can't be happy in New Jersey...even with VC.

We also need Alonzo.

I will no longer be visiting these boards until Spree is out of town.

[KokoTheMonkey]

Damn, I'm surprised at how bad it has gotten for you T'Wolf fans. Worse than I expected.


Minnesota does need to get ahold of Alonzo Mourning. Toronto knows that a contender is going to crack and be desperate for Zo, so they are hanging on to him. The amazing thing is that statistically, Kg is having the best season of his career, yet it's his team most dissapointing season thus far. Strange.

[c_dog]

this is sad. KG is in his prime yet he has zero help. the wolves are in a very sad stage. i'm wondering if KG will demand a trade... afterall worse players in better situations have done so plenty of times.

[FightingSioux]

I don't think KG will demand a trade for himself, but he might demand a trade of his teammates. He wouldn't demand it publicly either, KG isn't that kind of guy. He would do it where only he and Wolves management would know about it.

[sheefo13]

i still cant believe how we are considered contenders. We are going to be lucky if we make the playofffs the way we are playing....
