The Wolves: Games before the All Star Weekend

[Axel The Great]

What? Tyreke Evans off the bench? Good to see Wes made the rookie challenge, and the slam dunk contest.

Okur in the ASG? Whiteside dunking? Eyenga playing? That's all weird.

[Martti.]

No Jennings? BS.

No Jennings? BS.

Okur in the ASG? Whiteside dunking? Eyenga playing? That's all weird.

Just I can say I smell DSTATS. Anyway, Okur in the ASG makes me proud.
About Whiteside and Eyenga, what about Wes Johnson?

No Flynn in the Rookie-Sophomore game? Only one heat? Only 6 East Reserves?

I forgot to add Antawn Jamison in the list, and Wade had an injury, I have no idea why Bosh didn't get to the All Star

I didn't changed any of the stats, I am using the TUP10 rosters and Memo is always the starting center in the West division.

Rockets blasted off Wolves
@Rockets (91-97) L

The Houston Rockets proved their 15 point loss to the Wolves last month was just a rare luck for them after Kevin Martin scores 21 points to beat Minnesota in their home court. The Wolves are slowly improving since GM Khan revamped the team but tonight they learned another lesson, and that is to develop their team defense. The Rockets had several easy baskets against the Wolves in this game and able them to go for a 15 point lead against the Wolves before the first half ends. The Wolves then get back at the second half and tried not lose the game with a double digit lead from their opponent and they able to narrow it down to only 4 points. Then we go to 4th Quarter as the Wolves are still trying to get on the lead but then Wes Johnson missed a 3 point attempt that gave Houston a fast break and end the game as the winner by 6 points.

Team Leaders:
Points: Allen Iverson - 20 points / Kevin Love - 17 points, Kevin Martin - 21 points / Yao Ming - 20 points
Rebounds: Darko Milicic - 5 rebounds, Yao Ming - 13 rebounds
Assists: Grant Hill - 6 assists / Allen Iverson - 5 assists, Aaron Brooks - 6 assists


Wesley Johnson just gave a preview for the upcoming Slam Dunk Competition
Wolves continues their road trip and beat Pacers

@Pacers (109-89) W

The Wolves continued their journey in the league and now they visit the Conseco Field house in Indianapolis to visit Danny Granger's Indiana Pacers. The road trip just turned out to be great as they easily beat the Pacers since from the start. The Wolves just played around the home favorite and let some of the fans leave their team just not to see them lose. The Wolves showed an amazing team effort in front of the Indiana crowd as most of the guys played added double digit points to their stats.




Wolves returns to Target Center with a very disappointing loss
vs. Sixers (119-105) L

The Wolves returns home as Allen Iverson faced the team where he started, the "new and improve" Philadelphia 76ers. The Sixers had a great night against the favorites as Chauncey Billups and Andre Iguodala did a tremendous offensive performance against the Wolves. Both former members of the pack, Corey Brewer and Channing Frye also had a great night as they lead the team in scores and boards with 31 points and 12 rebounds respectively. Wesley Johnson also did one of his high, 36 points performance that only turned into a failing effort.


Team Leaders:
Points: Wesley Johnson - 36 points, Corey Brewer - 31 points / Andre Iguodala - 28 points
Rebounds: Kevin Love - 5 rebounds, Channing Frye - 12 rebounds
Assists: Kevin Love / Jonny Flynn - 5 assists, Chauncey Billups - 11 assists

That Rockets game sounded exciting near the end, and some good performances by former Wolves against the 76ers. Looking forward to the All-Star game!
