The TWolves, coach Hrvoje Mulković aka mulac (if y'all didn't know what mulac meant, it is wally, plonker as DelBoy says it Only fools and horses or as you Americans say: kid, dork etc...). Anyway, the Twolves have a new and improved roster. The core Love, Rubio, Pekovic is back, with additions such as Alexey Shved, BRoy and Kirilenko will be great for the somphore coach in ISBA. Since he didn't had quite success in previous years, this year he should have some. The playoffs should be possible. At least. We all hope seeing them in the first round around 6th-8th seed. Probable opponents are Lakers, Rockets, Thunder, Clippers. They could give a scare to those opponents, I'm not thinking upset, but a scare for sure. Mulac is a capable coach of making this possible. He has the fire and the motivation, why not prove us wrong and be better than our expectations?

Fab 5:
G Rubio
G Roy
F Kirilenko
F Love
C Pekovic

Player to Watch: Kevin Love

Wait so Mulac's name is Hrvoje too?

I'm learning so much from the first couple sentences of the intro.

T'Wolves the #3 team I'm rooting for this season(Heat-Cavs-Wolves) just because of Roy. Low-key one of my fave players.

@Ante, what song was that? Lupe?

F&L II, great album , just downloaded, I'll buy it for sure...

If I made a poll question that broad I'd get ripped for it.

Ante is 2/2 with the last two soundtracks he's used.

TheMindfulOne

I made it intentionally, Bryan like poll, I love it...

Thanks, I thought I nailed it too again, #R2MVP coming tonight too, 5th candidate, since I'm stuck home tonight #nothingtodo...

With all due respect, mine were crap. Both. Brandon Roy

TheMindfulOne

Which ones? Last 2? lol

Minnesota will be a fun roster to use. I'd go into Felix mode with BRoy and abandon everyone else.

Hrvoje dropping "with all due respect" >

Best preview so far !!!!!!!!!!!!! K-Love

Watching Roy highlights always makes me sad.Man imagine Roy and Oden healthy.
Such a shame.

Ye my name is Hrvoje also.

Hopefully I make the playoffs this year..I have a pretty decent roster with those improvements.It should be fun.

For IRL Twolves - It will be really hard for them to reach playoffs this year because Rubios return is planned for December and I think hes going to play a huge role in this team in future.

Does anyone know for sure if Rubio is going to be in OA or not ? Ive seen in that other thread that if I want I can use him..but im not sure that I will be able to play with him because hes injured irl.

TheMindfulOne

Thank you...

You can, KJ will use DRose, you should use Rubio...

I know I can use it.
But will 2k allow it ? Thats what I meant

Most likely. Usually OA is its own thing compared to ranked games/exhibition games.

Really, really great job with this one.

Wolves had some great games last year. Win @ LAC and 3OT loss @ OKC (Love 51, Barea triple-double) to name a few.

Hopefully Roy won't continue his work as a Rockets killer (Jason Terry is number one amongst active players). I was mad at JVG for years for winning that one last meaningless game which cost us the 6th pick in 2006 Draft (Houston eventually picked Rudy Gay at the 8th spot and traded him to Memphis). I reconciled with Jeff when I heard reports of Brandon's serious knee issues...

how did you start following the Rockets Luka? The Yao Ming era?

The TWolves were a playoff team before the injuries. Late in the season Utah, Houston, and Phoenix were all battling for that last spot. A healthy Minnesota team was probably better than all of them IMO.

The Rockets REALLY fell apart last year for some reason.

^He answered that in his the Talk episode. ffs. Journalists these days. Stephen A.

He was the 2nd interview I did...I've conducted A LOT of interviews in the last 3 weeks. It was an honest mistake imo

I will go back to that video to get my answer. :parsons2:
