    You are correct. I had forgotten about that completely, but I imagine it made more of an impression on you.

    Yeah and as I recall the storm they expected never hit the city. The game should never have been canceled. Meanwhile we lost the rescheduled game as Stotts let LMA and Nic stay home and rest.

    Nic and Wes as well. I believe Meyers had a big game though. I thought we won that one.

    Shit, thought we won that one. I DO remember Dame wasn't happy those guys stayed home. And I DO remember Meyers had a couple HUGE dunks.

    BUMP. This is the make-up game from March.

    A combination of 4 Blazers wins or Nuggets losses clinches a playoff spot for us.

    Wolves have nothing to play for except pride. After the Blazers' win against the Suns, Minnesota was officially eliminated from the Playoffs chase. So hopefully, this will be an easy win.

    Remember they beat both us and GS last year on the road with nothing on the line. I doubt it will be easy. It will interesting to see if Stotts keep experimenting with Aminu at center.
    Technically he and Towns have the same reach and wing. Just a big difference in weight. Sounds like Terry likes the idea of Chief in the middle...for small doses

    You tell others not to predict wins/losses and that there are no guaranteed wins, yet you just did here. lol.

    This is (to me) the official start of baseball season. The best day in all of sports. I get home at 2 PM from work... I will catch the first hour of this and then watch the mariners opener. Then watch as many games as I can throughout the night on archive.

    (MLB package is the best in all of sports, as well. $112 bucks for games every single day for 8 months)

    Wait, not only are you going to bother watching a 4-hour live game of arguably the worst franchise in the MLB (Go M's!) - but you're then going to watch replays of other games? Aren't 162 over the season enough?

    This should be a home game why the fuck should our team have to travel there they did nothing wrong, wolves should be the ones getting punished.

    I try to watch 4-5 games a day. One of them being the M's - then usually a braves, D-backs, and Rockies game. I like their announcers, tell the game real well.

    And no, there are never enough games.

    Gotta keep it rolling, but KAT w/o Nurk will be tough. Need a hot shooting night from Dame.
