The Pre-Funk: Timberwolves vs. Blazers 11/8

The all day coverage you need to go into tonight's contest. We're just making sure you're prepared to drop that extra knowledge on the brosephs to get you another smidgen of respect.

Party Attendees...

Let's be blunt here; the Minnesota Timberwolves are awful. They drafted 18 point guards this offseason, signed another overrated one, and appear to be worse than the New Jersey Nets whom they somehow managed to beat on opening night.

Portland's new starting lineup should have a hell of a night against those 18 inexperienced guards and an Al Jefferson looking all sorts of sloppy. I'm actually excited to see Johnny Flynn play as he appears to be the real deal. However, I'm not looking forward to seeing the Blazers play down to their competition which they seem to do so frequently.
