Wolf Vibrations (in honor of Kevin Love’s uncle Mike)

Oh, the beard that Kevin Love wears
And the way he tries to hit the three point shot
I hear the sound of a Rubio pass
And the wind that causes Brewer to fall down

Im pickin up wolf vibrations
They’re now dealing with expectations
Im pickin up wolf vibrations
(oom bop bop wolf vibrations)
they don’t need no explanations
(oom bop bop expectations)
Howl howl howl wolf vibrations
(oom bop bop)
They’re dealing with the expectations
(oom bop bop expectations)
Howl howl howl wolf vibrations
(oom bop bop)
They don’t need the explanations
(oom bop bop expectations

Pekovic,
Is like a brick wall in inside
Kevin Martin tries to fly on by
They, just traded Derrick Williams
Not sure how that affects the team at all…

Im pickin up wolf vibrations
They’re now dealing with expectations
Im pickin up wolf vibrations

Nuggets of wisdom

The Nuggets and Timberwolves played a spirited game a couple weeks ago. The Nuggets controlled most of the game, and Kenneth Faried annoyed Kevin Love, per usual, and came up with some big stops down the stretch. The Nuggets have developed into a much more confident offensive team since they have significantly picked up the pace. And in their last 10 games the Nuggets (to the surprise of many who predicted doom and gloom) and they are now ahead of the Timberwolves in the Northwest Division standings.

Tonight, the Nuggets just need to keep their own good vibrations going. Their ability to control the Dallas Mavericks through two games was a big eye opener. The Wolves are now a good and dangerous team, and should be considered as such. This will be a big test on the road for this new team and like the last game, it should be a good one.

The key tonight? Timofey Mozgov. He has played rather timidly the last couple games, displaying the stone hands that we all remember so well. He plays well against Pekovic and the Nuggets will need Moz to neutralize his heavy presence in the lane.

Should be a good one. And to the Beach Boys….sorry.
