Last night's loss hurt. The Wolves are 2 games back for the 8th playoff slot and had a chance to cut it to a game behind Denver because they lost. I listened to bits and pieces of the game on the radio last night and things seems alright. Ridnour had 13 assists and 4 turnovers, but those 4 turnovers seemed to come at really bad times. JJ Barea seemed to have a bad game with 5 turnover. Paul Millsap had 8 steals and they all seemed like at the end of the game and overtime. Blarg.
Hopefully Kevin Love can go tonight, he hurt his thumb late in the game and had X-rays afterward. As of this writing, it seems like he is ok but the whole Twin Cities sports landscape has been snakebitten with injuries, one just never knows...a simple tweak turns out to be a broken everything it seems like.
Luke Ridnour has notched 32 assists to 11 turnovers since replacing Rubio.
Go Wolves
The Blazers are really showing up tonight against the Bulls. It burns me to no end when I see players that play like garbage for 2 1/2 months for a coach suddenly turn it on the game after the coach they don't like is fired.
Michael Beasley in a nutshell
Left off this list: McPuffin that sour.
Gopher hockey on FSN right now, so i have a feeling we are going to join the Wolves in progress #pleasenoovertime
It's looking like we will avoid that.
yeah, thats an epic meltdown by the Goofs
Yeah, I don't watch much hockey but even I know giving up five goals in a period is brutal.
I feel like the Lakers PxP dudes are about to break into discussing Derek Fisher's HOF-worthiness.
Also, since Derek Fisher is acting like a baby and isn't reporting to Houston Jordan Hill can't suit up for the Lakers.
He isn't?! What a chaunce. I get that he'd be emotional, but wow.
totally agree with you
Pek's free throw form is so goofy, I just never expect them to go in.
I really, really dislike Kobe Bryant.
I dislike Kobe Bryant
that was a nifty layup by Kevin Love
Gotta love that drive to the basket by Love.
At least the Lakers were kind enough to trade three-second violations.
that was an ok 1st. Bynum couldnt hit anything even was he was planted in the lane. The Wolves still cant guard Kobe (2 wide open 3's).
In the last two weeks I've seen two new NBA Is BIG spots - one featuring Rubio, right after the ACL announcement, and one featuring the Nuggets with Nene posterizing Matt Barnes now right after Nene was traded.
Pek is having a tough night
this is getting ugly
Love is awesome.
I wish Pek would've destroyed Kobe when he came in for that dunk.
Not a bad ending, but still not sure if I'll make it to the end of this one.
it seems like Bynum has blocked Pek 5 times tonight
Wes with the right idea...just bad execution on that foul.
I loved how the fans booed Wes nudging Kobe on that layup, as if Kobe was taken out with a blunt object.
You're saying he should have used one of these?
check out his trade chart at the bottom of the page. its zany!
good gosh Kobe is locked in
Fun fact that I learned indirectly from that page--Craig Smith is still in the league!
The similarity scores are great. His top ten includes Randy Breuer, Felton Spencer and Oliver Miller.
yep, languishing on the bench in Portland.
Wes Johnson is terrible
I've had enough of this crap. I expect to hear about our spectacular comeback in the morning.
Bryant drives me bananas. He's a complete jackass, a selfish chucker, and he gets away with offensive fouls like crazy. Of course on top of all this he murders the Wolves. Infuriating.
is there a Twins equivalent? A-Rod comes to mind (.321/.395/.648/1.043)
He's probably the closest, yeah.
making it Wayne!
the Wolves get so close to making it a real close game, then go 'one and done' 3 times in a row
I loved Barrea dribbling down the court and immediately chucking up a three after they got a stop.
Has Tolliver made a single basket all season?
wow. Tom Hanneman with a jaw dropping stat. the Wolves have 6 wins all time playing the Lakers in LA. 6 wins in 20+ years! brutal
Ugh, it's draining watching a team lose like this, prolonging the inevitable.
