No Wemby, No Problem - Spurs at Wolves GDT

[60WinTim]

The Spurs are 5-1 since Wemby was sidelined. There are not missing a beat. The Wolves are playing after a tight game last night. Yet, Vegas has the Wolves up by 3.5.

Maybe the flood gates will open now that the Wolves have finally beaten a team with a winning record. This is probably the toughest matchup the Wolves have over FNG's 7 games (or is 9?). A win would have us feeling pretty good again heading down for a couple in New Orleans!

It looks like no Castle either, so Wolves need to take advantage.

[FNG]

Yeah, no Castle or Wemby again, but oddly they have been playing better since the 2 of them got hurt...they've won 5 of their last 6 games without them, with half of those games over teams with winning records. I've never been a big fan of Fox, but he is really playing well for the Spurs, and they are well stocked with effective role players. The Wolves finally beat a team with a winning record, but can they do it twice in a row? Vegas has them favored by 3 1/2, and I think the smart money will be on the Spurs. The Spurs rank ahead of us in both defensive and offensive ratings, and are better rested after beating the Nuggets Friday. I agree with Tim that this is going to be the most difficult game in my original poll of 7 (before they threw Golden State in there). If we win this one to go to 12-8, spirits will be higher here.

[Q-is-here]

Luke Kornet starting for the Spurs. He was on my list of offseason backup C targets, but alas, Connelly decided to draft two teenagers instead to fill a gaping and obvious hole.

[Q-is-here]

Low energy defense to start the game as usual.

[Q-is-here]

Ant throwing one careless pass after another here. Sigh.

[FNG]

Donte's 2-point shooting is vastly improved over last season

[Coolbreeze44]

Such a mental midget

[Phenom]

Its wild what constitutes a foul for Ant vs other stars.

[FNG]

Nice to see Ant playing off ball three possessions in a row...make that 4.
