The Wolves Owned All 4,700 Basketball Squares

by John Wilmes

Minnesota's defensive effort in Game 2 was a transformative sight. In what appeared to be an effort to become one with their team name, they swarmed, smashed, hounded, snarled, took, and destroyed for 24 straight minutes to start the game. Not an inch of the court was safe.

Woot! We just need to win one of the next 3. The team looked gassed by the middle of the 2nd. We need to close it out in game 5 or 6.

There better be some big changes next year. This team can't score to save it's life. We need a real-deal sniper that can hit some big goals because Naslund, Zherdev, and the rest of these hacks ain't doin' it. Losing that series the way we did no one on that team should feel safe, and that includes Gomez.

it sucks to lose the way you did, but you guys surprised a lot of people, see what you can do in the offseason and build around this.
