man, Pek is destroying the offensive paint early this game.
Alexi Shved in with 4 min left in the first
whaaa?

flipped to the Gophers game on BTN and here Twins radio voice Corey Provus is calling the action. cool!
Serious question, in who is better at their craft, in the prime, Kevin Love* or Joe Mauer? Joe's 2009 was for the ages but a basketball player can have so much more of an impact on a game than in baseball.
*Love's tbd?
I would trend toward Mauer because his numbers were so dominant over the next best catcher (McCann?) while Love is great, but he is just the cream of the crop/second best (depending how you look at things) over other PF's (Griffen, Dirk, etc)
Or maybe I misinterpreted your question.
"better at their craft" is waaaay different from "had the greatest impact on outcomes".
Joe, in his prime, was one of the handful of best ever at his position, but just short of the very very best. 2008-10 he amassed 19.1 rWAR while catching 360 games. That's better than any 3-year run for Bill Dickey, Mickey Cochrane, Yogi Berra, Carlton Fisk, but falls a ways short of Gary Carter, Johnny Bench, Pudge Rodriguez, Mike Piazza.
Love hasn't been through his prime yet, so I'm not ready to proclaim him to be in the same orbit with McHale, Malone, Duncan, KG, etc. as the very best PFs ever.
This is probably the right answer.
Kevin Love's box score at halftime: 19-11-5
That's a very good game for most players. Too bad KLove isn't very athletic.
As much as I am enjoying this Heat/Pacers is on and a 4 point game in the 4th.
It's good to have Love back!
23-5 FTAs for the Wolves. Wow.
It is not like Drummond would make them anyway.
coming into the game, he is shooting 38% from the line. thirty eight.
That would be really good for a corner outfielder!
Robby Hummel time.
Where is Gorgui?
Wow, the end of the Piston's bench is...um... eclectic?
I've missed these games where the entire 4th quarter was garbage time.

The Wolves are still on track for 71-11!
