If you had been in Vegas today and put $1000 down on a parlay having Miami, San Antonio and OKC all losing at home, you would be getting ready to give notice at work tomorrow! And Westbrook was the only star that didn't play. Goes to show that the Wolves aren't the only team to take an occasional night off. Keep this night in perspective the next time the Wolves lose a game they should win.

On a more Wolves-centric note, OKC really seems to be missing Westbrook. Mr. October Reggie Jackson is a very good point guard off the bench, but he is not the starting PG on an elite NBA team. Only shooting about 36% his last 5, and last night had almost as many turnovers as assists. And Russell's absence forces the aged one Derek Fisher to play more than they want him to, and he is showing that his game is in decline. I expect LRMaM to be all over Durant like a cheap suit on Saturday, and for the Wolves to win rather handily.

Was going to post about this as well. Not as high level as Miami, SA and OKC, but we did catch a 1/2 game on Phoenix last night too. We're four games out of the 5th seed. Gotta love how 4-8 seeds are all grouped together. If we can take advantage of these easy games like I think we will, we'll be set up for a possible mid-seed run.

Speaking of D-Fish, did anybody watch that BRK/OKC game? Can't tell you how many times he tried to take a charge and/or flop. It's like that was his only goal while he was out there. Big time pain in the ass and he made the game irritating to watch. I hope he tries to take a charge when K-Love goes for a dunk.
