Punch Drunk Wolves

  • Two for the Money (Wolves 111, HOUSTON 98)

    In a comment yesterday, I said the Wolves hadn’t really owned a game since their last victory over Houston. They broke that streak Friday night, again against the Rockets, in a 111-98 victory in Houston. Nikola Pekovic and Kevin Love were…

  • INBOX: The Trade Speculation Edition

      Q: How about this: Derrick Williams and Nikola Pekovic for Eric Gordon and Trevor Ariza? The Wolves need a shooting guard. Pek is playing out of his mind. Williams still has the reputation value of a #2 pick. Gordon is…

  • A Check-In at Basketball Reference

    Having played 28 games (13-15) our Wolves are now exactly 42.42424242… percent complete with this shortened regular season.  What better time to visit the Basketball Reference team page and see where we’re at with numbers? The first (and second and…

  • A Loveless Victory (WOLVES 86, Kings 84)

    Nobody quite knew what to predict for Minny’s first game of the season without its best player.  In fact, PJ published two separate posts in anticipation and speculation on exactly how this should shake out.  While the Kings are pretty…

  • A Serbian Nightmare (Wolves 108, NETS 105)

    6:48, Andy G: So, Darko and Wes start again.  Both playing like crap again.  Wolves fall behind early. What gives? 7:08, Patrick J: One quarter in the books. Wolves up 23-19. ANOTHER bad start. Coincidence? This is hard to watch. Quick, does…

  • Spurred to Victory (WOLVES 87, Spurs 79)

    The Wolves continued their strong play against Texas this season (*ahem*, Houston–I know) with an 87-79 victory over the San Antonio at Target Center. Love had a workman-like 18 & 16, while Rubio put up 18 & 10 on 7-12…

  • The Sixty Million Dollar Man (Wolves 105, MAVERICKS 90)

    After penning his name on a gigantic four-year contract extension (approximately $62 Million over 4 years, with player option after third year) Kevin Love went out and played a near-perfect game of basketball against the defending champion Dallas Mavericks.  Spearheading…
