Amway Arena

Say it with me -- F-I-F-T-Y-W-I-N-S! Yes 50 wins is what winning this game tonight, will get us. That is a big jump from the middle-of-the-pack Magic teams of yesteryears. Getting over the 50 mark gets you respect and shows your a "for real" team.

The Wolves lost to the Hornets 112-90 on Wednesday night. The Hornets earned the right to celebrate after setting a team record for victories while maintaining the top spot in the Western Conference with a victory at Target Center.

Dwight Howard leads the league with 67 double-doubles, but stud Al Jefferson is the next guy behind him with 52.

This Wolves team does have talent, just not much of it. They are not deep by any means, and struggle mostly on defense. But they are in the middle to bottom in just about every statistical category. Tonight should be an easy win. We should see Dwight go off for a huge game, as Al Jefferson is not known for his defense. He routinely gives up big numbers to opposing big men.
