Just a filler

There wasn't much going on last night so today's post is going to be short.

The Timberwolves lost again, this time to the Orlando Magic 111-103. The Wolves made it close at one point, going on a 14-0 run to cut a 16 point lead to 2, but they could never get any closer. Al Jefferson finished with 25 points and 10 rebounds and Corey Brewer chipped in 10 points. Dwight Howard led the Magic with 28 points. It's early in the season, but the Wolves need to step it up a notch if they want any respect. Good news though, Randy Foye says all the pain is gone in his bum knee and he should start running soon to see how his knee reacts:

Once Foye comes back, he should start picking up some of the slack and hopefully the Wolves can start winning consistenly.

Other than that, I just watched the latest episode of Heroes last night and thought it was one of the best in a season of relative disappointments. I guess disappointment is kind of a harsh word, but when they hype up an episode telling me that they will give me answers to certain questions and then they don't deliver, it's not ideal for me. The latest episode was definitely a step up though, and it reminded me more of the edge of your seat episodes they had in season one. It was good to see Parkman get over the devastating memory of his father by essentially robbing his father of his powers. Nikki also got into some trouble when she accidently injected herself with the Shanti virus after seeing visions of D.L. in her thoughts and freaking out. The original thought was that Suresh could use his antibodies to eliminate the virus from Nikki, but it turns out that the virus mutated and is now uncurable. And all this leads up to the end of the episode, when we find out that the man that was supposed to Takezeo Kensei turns out to be Adam Monroe, a man who Bob has on file but we the audience know nothing about. That last twist is one that will make next weeks episode very interesting.

Oh yeah, the Ottawa Senators posted the best start in NHL history with a 5-1 win over Toronto last night. The Sens are 13-1 after 14 games. Daniel Alfredsson leads the NHL's best team with 20 points and the team looks like it's ready to avenge its 4-1 series loss in the Stanley Cup last season.
The Wild are off until Sunday when they will travel to Colorado to take on the Avalanche.
