Player Of The Game:

Dirk Nowitzki

Quote Of The Game:
"We started off a bit slow, turned the ball over excessively in the 1st (quarter) but cleaned it up in the 2nd half and made a game out of it. This won't be an easy loss for our guys to take. Hell, it's hard for anyone to take a loss like this.." - Wolves Head Coach Kurt Rambis

Tough loss, I haven't faced off against Dirk yet on 2k10 but it looks like he's tough to stop.

Injuries:


It looks like a bit of tough luck for the 76ers who just sent a memo to the league office that Thaddeus Young is expected to miss 4-6 weeks after suffering a Broken Hand injury.

Wolves Snap 2 Game Skid With Win Over Grizzlies At Fedex Forum

Starting Lineups:
Ramon Sessions PG Allen Iverson
Damien Wilkins SG O.J. Mayo
Corey Brewer SF Rudy Gay
Kevin Love PF Zach Randolph
Al Jefferson C Marc Gasol

(4-6) 104 @ 96 (3-6)


Ramon Sessions fell 1 assist shy of only his 2nd career triple double in the Wolves win Saturday night.



Player Of The Game:

Al Jefferson

Quote Of The Game:
"We came out tough early on, held them to only 14 points in the 1st. I think we were all still feeling the effects of that loss from lastnight; looking to redeem ourselves. Our guys off the bench gave us a much needed boost down the stretch. I think Ryan (Hollins) had 3 blocks? They were big for us in this one, especially with coach giving the starters additional rest seeing as how this was the 2nd game of a back to back." - Kevin Love

Great game for Sessions and nice win. GL against Houston hopefully Yao Ming isn't as cheese as he was in 2k9.

[DoubleDeuce]

No kidding. rofl.

Nice win. Sessions and Al Jeff whooped some bearass!

Incredible as always. Don't know if this was on purpose, but you had a picture of Flynn and a caption about Sessions.

Flynn and Sessions are both in the screen. Sessions is the focal point of the screen and is in the post backing down A.I. and calling for a pass.

Nice job knocking off the Grizzlies, just played with them at my friend house and they are SICKK, and I didn't even have Gay or Mayo. Thabeet do anything?

[Len B]

Hate games where you're winning vs. a good team in the 4th and you just can't hold on.

[RockSteady]

Damn, if Love wasn't fat enough to block Dirk's view of the rim on that three... what else is he good for then?

[Vinsane]

Way to end the skid. If Al Jeff, and Sessions are not All-Stars that will be a huge surprise. Sessions is having a hell of a season for you 10 games in.

Yeah, they have a pretty high offense rating. Hilarious though. 2k has them nailed. Zach Randolph is a fucking ball hog. He was just chucking up shots. rofl. Same with Gay. Love it.

Damn, if Love wasn't fat enough to block Dirk's view of the rim on that three... what else is he good for then?

Good point.

Kinda hard to defend dirk considering he is 7 feet tall and has a rediculously high release. :bounce:

Way to end the skid. If Al Jeff, and Sessions are not All-Stars that will be a huge surprise. Sessions is having a hell of a season for you 10 games in.

Al is an easy all-star this year. Who else does he really have to compete with? Yao Ming?

Wouldn't mind seeing Sessions make it though.

Sessions getting boards? You're going to have a nice team in season 3.

yea sessions is really dominating

good to see that session is doin work

Dude is 6'3 but he's out there playing like he's 7 feet tall. HEART OF A CHAMPION. Breakout year?

Lookin good Mike. Just played The timberwolves in my grizzlies chise. Corey Brewer made a game winning 15 foot jumpshot as time expired. Now I hope he tears his acl in this chise. :yes:

That's not very nice.

Nice update Mike.

Thanks.

Thanks for following guys!
