I know I'm starting the age old debate about fixing games, but come on....Kevin Garnett plays 40 minutes of a meaningless game and goes 8 for 23..Anthony Peeler 3 for 12, Wally 6 for 16..Minnesota cost me a lot of money tonight, but I think they cost the integrity of the game much more...And I'm not sure , but Wally missed two late free throws right to give them the lead? Strange....Anyways, just somehting to talk about..Even if someone came out and told me NBA was fixed, I'd still bet it and hope I pick the right side the game was fixed for. Minnesota shot 37% for the game....Maybe they just ddint care tonight.
Did Minnesota throw the game

None of the things you brought up make any sense as far as a game being fixed. The object of fixing a game is to not make it noticable (according to Hedake Smith in an interview he gave to Sports Illustrated about the games he fixed at Arizona State). The specific thing he mentioned was giving a guy extra space on a jumper.
I watched the game and lost, too. The game wasn't fixed, it was just a bad shooting night from a team that relies on jumpers for their offense. The jumpers weren't there, so they lost. Don't worry about one loss, just come back and look for a better play next time.

Its called Minnesota sucks and is way overrated as always. Why would players already making millions of dollars risk their careers by taking money they dont need to fix a game?
Do I really think the game was fixed ...No....Do I think athletes making millions are tempted to miss a few shots...I wouldn't be surprised if it were true. A lot of these guys burn through their money and end up broke....For the record, I was just venting.
the problem with the wolves is chemistry-billups and wally are pmsing with each other, when billups is running the point he just does not get wally the ball. billups drove 3 or 4 times last night well defended and wally was wide open for the 3 each time. brandon going down killed this team. o wise and from a unselfish leadership role. unless they turn it around they will once again get bounced in the first round.
They'll be lucky to win a GAME, much less a first round series with San Antonio. The Wolves really should consider bringing back Marbury. KG cannot take a game over and needs a supporting player, which neither Wally nor Billups can fill.
brandon is underrated- marbury is a cancer. this team coud have easily won 57- 60 games with him marbury is not the answer. a healthy brandon is.
