mlk day hoops i'm on # 712 minnesota timberwolves +2
great spot today to be on the wolves...they are back home coming off an 0-4 road trip and while i know an old nba angle was to go against a team in 1st home game after a 4 game or longer roadie i'm not buying into that here.that trip ended friday night and since then minny had practices at home saturday and sunday as opposed to flying home having 1 off day and then game day...this is a little different set-up...looking at that road trip last wednesday night they lost a triple overtime classic in houston where they had to come back from a big early hole to get to ot.that game took everything out of them as they concluded the trip with an absolute no show in memphis...you think that game sat well with this team?..al jefferson had nothing to say,kurt rambis post game presser lasted 8 seconds saying we were atrocious,i'm embarrassed and there was no energy or focus.kevin love said coach had some choice words for us and we knew it was coming.corey brewer said we didn't come to play and we backed down.....so i think you get the idea here that those weekend practices probably weren't the funnest of the season.these are not exactly world beaters coming into the target center today...76ers 7-13 on the road and iguodala has admitted his ankle is bothering him a lot....in the 4 instances minny has hosted an eastern conf team with a losing record they won 3 outright...it fits the bill today and minny bounces back strong from the effort in memphis with a nice holiday home win.
T-WOLVES + 2 is a strong play........good luck fellas
