Wolves now down 19. None of Minnesota’s player seem to want to play anymore.

Kirilenko singlehandedly keeping the offense buoyed up with his sharp shooting.

Sanjeev Sekar Sanjeev Sekar January 25, 20137:28 pm

Wolves hit their first point of the game… in the 3rd quarter. They are now 1-8 from deep.

Sanjeev Sekar Sanjeev Sekar January 25, 20137:18 pm

Even the offensively inept Jan Vesely has gone 3/3 from the field. All in all a poor half for Minny.

Sanjeev Sekar Sanjeev Sekar January 25, 20137:11 pm

Wolves have reached new low this season, allowing 60 points to the Wizards in half a quarter of play.

Refs just awarded Dante Cunningham a technical on a very puzzling call. He looked like a got pulled down by Nene, but that call was against DC.

Sanjeev Sekar Sanjeev Sekar January 25, 20136:55 pm

Wolves starting to lose their free throw shooting touch now. Everyone seems to be going 1 for 2 from the line.

Some of Rubio’s rebounding prowess is starting to come back. He’s crashing the glass pretty hard tonight.

Sanjeev Sekar Sanjeev Sekar January 25, 20136:44 pm

Washington might be the one team that won’t have a rebounding advantage on Minnesota, seeing how bad the Wizard big men are at ending possession.

Sanjeev Sekar Sanjeev Sekar January 25, 20136:41 pm

The 10-day contract crew making their presence felt with consecutive putbacks.

Sanjeev Sekar Sanjeev Sekar January 25, 20136:34 pm

JJ Barea coming out hot as he more or less is getting this team back into the game. Wolves only down by 2 right now.

Sanjeev Sekar Sanjeev Sekar January 25, 20136:30 pm

DWill’s shot is looking very ugly today. He just bricked a wide open 3 pointer. Considering he’s out best deep ball shooter percentage-wise, this is not a good sign.

Sanjeev Sekar Sanjeev Sekar January 25, 20136:27 pm

Chris Singleton might be one of my favorite NCAA players of all time. He was one of the rare combo forward defensive stoppers.

Sanjeev Sekar Sanjeev Sekar January 25, 20136:21 pm

This has a really ugly, messy feel to it. Lots of missed layups and mental errors.

Sanjeev Sekar Sanjeev Sekar January 25, 20136:15 pm

John Wall is starting look like his old explosive self. Hopefully playing with better players will help his development.

Sanjeev Sekar Sanjeev Sekar January 25, 20136:07 pm

On a tweet from Darren Wolfson, he announced that Chris Johnson is most likely to stay as the Wolves will be trying to find a trade for Louis Amundson.

Sanjeev Sekar Sanjeev Sekar January 25, 20135:52 pm

Will be interesting to see Minnesota fans reactions towards old coach Randy Wittman.

Sanjeev Sekar Sanjeev Sekar January 25, 20135:52 pm

This is a far more dangerous Wizards than their 9 wins might indicate. They have been on a recent hot streak and as many young teams do, they play up/down to the level of their competition.

Sanjeev Sekar Sanjeev Sekar January 25, 20135:03 pm

Wolves will have to make a decision on whether they will choose to extend Gelabale or Chris Johnson’s contract. A very possible outcome is that they cut Lou Amundson and replace him with Chris Johnson.

Sanjeev Sekar Sanjeev Sekar January 25, 20135:02 pm

Looks like both Shved and Pekovic will be out for today and tomorrow. They are both expected to join the team after the road trip.
