Wolves' Bench Dominates Clippers

Derrick Williams and Michael Beasley went off last night against the LA Clippers. Each of them put up 27 points and shot out of their minds. Both of them coming off the bench, helped the Wolves in getting the win. The bench put up a total of 72 points last night, which is the most of any bench in the NBA this season. Even Darko Milicic had a great game last night coming off the bench. He came in at the beginning of the fourth quarter to take on Blake Griffin who had 29 points on the night. Blake ended up scoring a total of 30 points all game as Darko shut him down.
This is just another reason that you gotta love the Wolves. Love wasn't having his best game and even got hurt, but there are so many guys on this team that work hard and get the job done. After this game I hope the Wolves realize that we need to hold on to these two young guys to help us work toward a championship in the future. At such a young age, they are only gonna get better. The Wolves are now 18-17 and fighting toward a playoff spot. We seem to be shooting better and finishing games very well lately, so I'm thinking we have a really good shot at getting a seven or eight seed in the playoffs. We just gotta keep up the good work now!
Look for the Wolves tonight who are playing in Los Angeles again, this time against the Lakers. Another late game, starting at 9:30 tonight, but I'm definitely staying up for it. I really hope the T-Pups come through and get a victory here, especially with the absence of Kobe Bryant. This is a game we need to capitalize on and win big to keep the momentum going.

Short Film of the Week: New Boy

Didn't really wanna do any research in finding this new short film, but I thought it was a pretty good one. I've never been the new kid really, but this gave me an idea of what that would be like. Anyway, give me some feedback and let me know what you think. Or don't, just do whatever you like. Hope you enjoy the video tho!

WZRD

KiD CuDi and Dot Da Genius released WZRD today which is definitely going to be one of my favorite albums this year. Got that ish on repeat all day! However, I've been looking at the Twitter feed today to see how people are diggin' this album and I've been seeing a lot of hate. I don't know if it's just because this is a different style, or maybe people are just getting too into frat rap and all that fake Lil' Wayne garbage, but people are hating! I don't know how, because this album is totally the shiznit! That's my review of the album right there. And for those who don't like WZRD....

Michael Beasley Trade Rumors

So with the All-Star break wrapped up, we now are getting a ton of reports that the Lakers are interested in a trade with the Wolves for forward Michael Beasley. The trade would most likely involve just Beasley and a draft pick. I've been a huge Be-Easy fan since he joined the team a couple years ago, and I would not be happy to see him go. He's a big dude with a lot of raw talent that he can certainly develop. I don't get why teams in the NBA give up on guys like Beasley after a few years, especially when they are really young. Beasley is just 23 years old and has a lot of game ahead of him. And to give him up for just a draft pick?? Come on, no way! I hope the Wolves will do the right thing and keep Beasley around, because I would definitely hate to see him go.
The trade rumors initially involved the Lakers giving up Pau Gasol, which would have also thrown Derrick Williams into the mix. I'm a giant Pau fan, but even I know that would be a dumb trade... I just think the NBA has some weird ass trade situations and I don't understand them half the time. I definitely think we need to stick to our younger guys and build around them. Kevin Love, Wes Johnson, Ricky Rubio, Michael Beasley, and Derrick Williams are all young guys and we need to hold on to them so we can be an awesome team in the near future.

K-Love Wins 3-Point Contest

NBA All-Star Weekend just wrapped up. It was a fun weekend full of a lot of excitement. I'm a little upset that Derrick Williams didn't win the Dunk Contest, but it's all good. This is what Kevin Love was able to do Saturday night, which was really fun to watch. Just to get into the finals he had to go to an overtime round against Mario Chalmers. Then in the finals he tied with Kevin Durant which gave him another overtime round for the win. Of course, K-Love came through like always and got the win. Congrats to Kevin Love on his win!

Soulja Boy - Best Song Ever (Funny Video)

For all you Soulja Boy Tell 'Em fans out there, this video is for you. Since Soulja Boy is probably the most garbage rapper ever (other than French Montana) this video is hilarious. The guy makes a song Soulja Boy style and nails it. I thought it was the funniest thing ever when I first watched it.

Joel Zumaya Out for Season

Twins new pitcher Joel Zumaya will be out for the season with a torn elbow ligament. He tore his UCL to be exact, which is very heartbreaking, and tough to make it back from as a pitcher. Twins fans were really looking forward to seeing Zumaya play this year, as he has a crazy awesome fastball that would have really helped the Twinkies pitching staff. Looks like Minny is gonna need to pick up a new guy or bring up someone from the minors. This is a sucky time for Twins fans, as Justin Morneau has also been having problems with his injury. We're really hoping that Joe Mauer can stay healthy this year as well. Here's what infielder Luke Hughes had to say about the situation:

Sad day in Twins camp today with Joel Zumaya finding out he has a torn UCL.
