The Minnesota Timberwolves and Milwaukee Bucks are both looking for their first win of the season. The match-up between Brandon Jennings and Ricky Rubio is obviously worth keeping an eye on for those that like basketball.
The Minnesota Timberwolves suffered a 104-100 loss in their season-opener to the Oklahoma City Thunder, but it was a fun game to watch and ultimately not all that important as the team has 65 games left during the regular season and the Thunder are one of the better teams in the NBA. The Wolves will have a chance to avenge Monday night's loss on Tuesday, however, in a game against Brandon Jennings and the Milwaukee Bucks.
Neither team picked up a victory in their first game of the season, but both proved themselves as a team worth watching. Tuesday evening's game should be no exception, either, as Jennings and Ricky Rubio could be a fun match-up to watch on the offensive end.
In general though, everything's worth watching at this point of the season -- a fact Canis Hoopus pointed out in their game preview.
As a season ticket holder for the past several seasons, I have developed a routine over the years. Around the end of the first quarter/start of the second quarter, I usually go to the concession stand and buy an order of cheese curds. The whole thing takes about 10-15 minutes in real time.
Last night, I didn't want to get up. I thought I might miss something. That's the first time I've thought that in a long time at a Wolves game. Ricky Rubio, Derrick Williams, Kevin Love and Rick Adelman have ushered in a new era for Timberwolves' basketball:
The Era of Must-Watch Timberwolves Basketball.
The game, which tips off at 7:30 p.m., will be available to watch on NBA League Broadband during its free preview. For the locals, Fox Sports North will have it covered with the pregame beginning at 7 p.m.

Timberwolves Vs. Bucks Final Score: Minnesota's Comeback Falls Short In Milwaukee
The Minnesota Timberwolves fell to 0-2 on the young, lockout shortened season Tuesday night, falling to the Milwaukee Bucks 98-95 at the Bradley Center.
The Timberwolves trailed by 12 at the half and by as many as 17 in the third quarter, but managed to make it a game in the fourth quarter by outscoring the Bucks 27-19.
Down 10 with just under four minutes left in the game, Minnesota went on a 8-0 run to cut it to two behind five points from Michael Beasley and two assists from rookie Ricky Rubio. The Timberwolves had a chance to tie it with seven seconds left in the game, but Kevin Love's 26-foot heave missed to Bucks rookie Jon Leuer, whose three-pointer with 1:17 left provided the difference.
Kevin Love had 31 points and 20 rebounds for the Timberwolves.
The Timberwolves play again on Friday against the Miami Heat.
