He rocks the Wolves.

Anyway...

See the new quotes?

"Friday will be the big game for us," he said. "They might have to bring a lot of security to that game. There'll be some punches thrown." --Carmelo





Elson and Wolves star Kevin Garnett were involved in a dustup early in Tuesday's game during which the two traded blows, with Elson taking the first jab, to Garnett's hip. Garnett countered with one to Elson's groin.

"It's a cheap shot by a low-class player," Elson said. "We were right there, the referee saw it. He didn't do anything. . . . There's no respect for Nuggets players at all. No respect for me at all. We're going to retaliate."

Wait... didn't he throw the first punch?




Nuggets backup guard Jon Barry, meanwhile, chided the Wolves for what he saw as excessive celebration.

"I thought it was kind of funny," Barry said. "The No. 1 seed acting like they won a championship. . . . I don't know why they would feel they should have to pound their chests after winning a ballgame."

But didn't the Nuggets pound their chest and scream every time they made a shot? I think so!






Said Barry: "They came out in Game 4 and they didn't beat us, we beat ourselves. I don't give them any credit for anything that happened in that game."

Well technically, if Spree had made the free throws, he would have beaten the Nuggets no matter what... and if Miller OR Lenard had made their shots at the end, well, the missed free throws would be responsible for us "beating ourselves," so uh... Dunno. Good teams win close games, and the Wolves won, not the Nuggets. They need to stfu.

And then the fans throwing beer at the 'Wolves. You know Minnesota fans are going to retaliate.
