Game Five: Wolves at Houston Preview

Sorry for nothing on the 102-101 loss to the Pacers Tuesday night. The truth is, when I saw the Wolves losing by quite a bit, I flipped to PBS to watch a special I wanted to see. If I would have known the Wolves were going to pull it that close, I would have Tivo'd the special and watched the Wolves game. But what's done is done. I must look ahead towards tonight's game in Houston. Which is what the Wolves must do as well. We all know this Wolves team is better than a 2-2 record would suggest. 2-2 is a little ugly, but factor in the fact that the Wolves were one missed shot away from winning both their losses. If one or both of those shots go in, we're sitting pretty at 4-0. And really, it's best to get these tough losses out of the way early on in the year, when you can write them off to just getting warmed up. That's a lot harder to do come April. So no worries from me. Except the fact that Houston looks to be a good team this year. That has me worried. Yao Ming, Tracy McGrady, that might not be fun tonight. What would be fun is getting a win tonight against a formidable team like that and grabbing a winning record record.

Edit: Okay, I guess I didn't realize McGrady was injured. Not a huge difference; he's not that great in my opinion.
