Wolves almost survive. We get the W at Dallas 90-82.

Wolves now 5-2!

I just want Pek healthy. That's my only concern. Don't let it be anything more than a sprain.

The good:

Pek before he got hurt was ballin. 20 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists. The touch was there. Be OK Pek.

Held Dallas to 82 points and 36% FG shooting. Malcolm Lee and Alexey Shved did a number on OJ Mayo (no homo). They shut him down.

Shved: 16 points, 5 assists, 4 rebounds, 3 blocks. Wow. Clutch Motherfukkin gene.

AK47 16 and 11, Dante 14 and 8. They keep us in games and keep us ahead. That's why I was so happy about getting AK and definitely Dante.

Lastly, Malcolm Lee didn't have a sparkling stat line, but he looked like an NBA player and in all honesty, he's come a long way. May he be worth the investment.

The bad:

17 turnovers. It's bend but not break defense, but they bend more than necessary sometimes.

Collison: 21 points and Dallas was at their best when they played small ball. With Roy and JJ on the way back this will be less of an issue. With Rubio back this shouldn't be an issue at all.

Lastly, Derrick Williams is in the doghouse and I really don't know why. 4 points, 5 rebounds in 12 minutes and please believe, he only played more than 7 because Pek was hurt. I don't know what he did wrong, but it's clear Adelman doesn't care for him. That situation needs to be resolved and fast because I get that he loves Dante and AK47 and Pek and Love and Stiemsma, but if he can't use Derrick even when he's not fukking up, then for both sides Derrick needs to go because this hurts everyone.

5-2. Please no more injuries. Next game is at home vs. Charlotte.

Chase out 3 months
After surgery on Tuesday to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee, Minnesota Timberwolves starter Chase Budinger will miss minimally three months, a league source told Yahoo! Sports.

Budinger joins Timberwolves stars Kevin Love (broken hand) and Ricky Rubio (torn ACL) on the sidelines with significant injuries. Despite the injuries, the Timberwolves have managed a 5-2 start in the Western Conference.

Dr. James Andrews performed the surgery on Tuesday, and a source said the meniscus was completely repaired and will allow for a full recovery for Budinger. He had averaged nearly 12 points a game for the Wolves this season, after coming over from the Houston Rockets for the 18th overall pick in the June NBA Draft.

Budinger, 24, injured the knee on Saturday night in a game against the Indiana Pacers. With the knee expected to heal, Budinger is considered an intriguing free agent possibility for several teams – including Minnesota – next summer.

Woj- fact check. It was against Chicago.

Team worked out Josh Howard yesterday. Still looking at Mickael Pietrus.

Pek is day-to-day. Probably doesn't play tomorrow, but good news is that it is just a sprain. No structural damage.

Pek, JJ, Roy all out tonight. They might hold them out one more game on Friday to give them all a whole week to recuperate.


Stiemsma /Amundson
Williams /Cunningham
AK
Lee /Shved
Ridnour /Conroy

That's all we got.
