Young Wolves Fall/ Vikings Need a Win

Starting off the Timberwolves who are the youngest team in the NBA by average, could not overcome the back to back test. The lost to the pacers on Wednesday night just after the impressive victory at home against the Denver Nuggets. Against the Nuggets Everything was clicking they were running the floor Ridnour was doing a masterful job of playing uptempo basketball without forcing turnovers. The exciting new acquisitions of Beasley, Webster, and Johnson were also a very bright spot for the wolves on Tuesday night accounting for over 50 points of offense. The Timberwolves managed to put up 122 points while many of there starters were only playing for half of the game. This just shows how mush young talent the Wolves have on this team. But most impressive not only did they do it with offense they played a very aggressive style of defense and had over 10 blocks on the night.To see the Highlight of this game click here, there were many. On Wednesday it was a different story the wolves looked tired and out of it. Rambis said that fatigue played a huge factor in the loss. The Wolves are now 3 and 1 and looking hopeful. I hope that Beasley or Johnson or somebody can develop into that superstar role that the Wolves have been lacking since the loss of Kevin Garnett. Who do you think has the potential to be the new star of the Wolves squad?

 On another note wouldn't it be great to see KG come back like moss did with the Vikings?


As for the Vikings they find themselves right in the middle of the Panic Bowl. They received word the Cedric Griffin, who had been rehabilitating his left knee ACL injury, now has torn his ACL in his right knee after playing in his second game since his return. Chris Cook the Vikings second round pick this year could make an appearance this week after coming back from his second knee surgery of this young season. He would definitely help the Vikings Secondary. The big question everyone has about this game though is will Favre be healthy enough to make it through the whole game, or even the season? Favre has told reporters he would potentially sit out a game or two to get his tendenitis in his throwing arm to calm down, to see Favre's press conference click here. If he should not go TJack who has been getting all the reps with the first team at practice this week is ready to show what he is made of. I am one of the few who think TJack still could be good, call me crazy but he has looked good lately. I think Peterson will have a big game against the cowboys, because they will not want to over stress Favre's elbow. So for all you fantasy studs start getting excited. The Vikings need to win this game to keep that glimmer of hope alive.

What are some of your predictions for the game on Sunday? And  if Favre continues to struggle when do u sit a 20 million dollar man?
