Wolves are pounding Denver 25-16 with two and a half left in the 1st.

[TSIAS]

1. This hasn't been a good weekend for underdogs

This has the makings of another 20 + point victory.

[SmileyBoy]

2. 31-22 Good Guys at the end of one.

We need to watch out for Earl Boykins. This guy is gonna cause REAL problems.

[SmileyBoy]

3. Really good so far. Up 37-23 three minutes into the 2nd.

Looks like a 20-point lead pretty soon.

[SmileyBoy]

4. We're up 44-36, but we CAN'T seem to put 'em away...

We need to start hitting our shots...

5. Is Sczerbiak still crushing them with the mid range jumper?

[SmileyBoy]

6. No, not really. We're only up 51-42 at the half.

It should be at LEAST a 15-point lead.

11. Don't underestimate the boys in blue

7. Timberpups may make it out of the first round this year.

But the road to the championship goes right through here:

8. No it doesn't. WHO has homecourt in the West playoffs???

Hmmm....

[SilasSoule]

9. Like home court advangage means anything to the world Champs??

They often play a more refined, focused game on big road games. Should the Spurs end up meeting the pups in WCF, The spurs could easily take one of the first two up there. It's called called holding serve on your home court and Minnesota won't be able to do it. The Spurs are on a 12 game winning streak, and are peaking. They're getting in a zone similar to the '99 playoffs where they went someinthing like 17-2 in their playoff championship run. One thing for sure and POP let us know that in game 1, Horry is going to see some time and contribute some bigtime scoring, rebounding, toughness and experience, remember Steve Kerr's heroics last year?

12. Who cares???

You're players aren't as good as ours.

[GOPisEvil]

19. I take exception to that statement.

I think the Timberwolves and Spurs are roughly equal in terms of overall talent.

Actually, the two teams are composed quite similarly. One superstar and a bunch of other good players that know their role.

[no name no slogan]

15. Yeah, but we got Latrell Sprewell

If you piss him off, he'll come over and choke ya!

[Champ]

10. Go Nuggets

Sorry I gotta root for the boys in blue.

[SmileyBoy]

13. That's OK. Wolves have opened up a 15-point lead.

[SmileyBoy]

14. There's that 20-point lead!!!

A KG slam makes it 70-48 Wolves!!!

[SmileyBoy]

16. This is bullshit. Denver cut it to 11.

79-68 Wolves. Goddammit.

[SmileyBoy]

17. Well, like the Wolves, they manage to make it interesting...

But we get a more extended margin at the end. We win, 106-92!!!

[Viking12]

18. Nice game. Thanks Sam!!!

We'll need a little more input from the supporting cast if we want to go deep into the playoffs. but hey, they got the first game monkey off their backs and Sam has just put the fear of 20-foot jumper into every Nugget and future opponent.
