The Wolves have an amazing 10 game losing streak against the Celtics that dates back to 2007. He is the starting lineup the last time a W happened:
Ricky Davis
Kevin Garnett
Mark Blount
Randy Foye
Trenton Hassell
also, someone names Justin Reed came off the bench for the Wolves. He played 81 games in 2 seasons for the locals and I have no recollection of him.
The Celtics get Rajon Rondo back from suspension. So thats pretty awesome.
oh my, KG has his fadeaway jump shot going on early
Jason Terry is going to play 30 years in the NBA, and and always score 45 points a game against the Wolves.
Love is going to foul out entirely on offensive fouls.
Steamer going all Tyner on the C's tonight.
When was the last time the Wolves had back to back 30 point first quarters?
I wish basketball-reference would have quarter breakdowns in their Play Index
Good first quarter. Boston shot the lights out, but the Wolves hung in there.
The C's broadcast showing their openness to other cultures on tonight's telecast.
Love's three-point shot is just not there this year.
Hand is still healing, I think. I hope he finds his shot back soon. Especially from the FT line.
Great transition d by Shved.
I love Cunningham's energy
Pek taking photos at the Mall of America on Saturday
aw man, I got things to do that day 🙁
Has Kevin Love ever not complained to a ref after missing a shot?
Kevin Love has been fouled about 10 times this game
he has gotten about 3 calls.
According to the internet things are getting pretty testy between Kobe and Dwight during their game against the Pelicans tonight.
Is it wrong that I hope Dwight takes a swing at Kobe?
Dwight's way too passive aggressive for that.
I can still hope, dammit!
Kobe might swing at Dwight.
I guess I'd settle for that.
As long as someone on the Lakers swings at someone else on the Lakers, I'll be content.
ESPN has their programming and talking points for the next 3 day now.
Is it Tebow?
The C's broadcast called Kevin Love a former teammate of KG.
Nope.
they were both teammate of Mark Madsen
transitive properties says yes, they were teammates
Why was Josh Howard still a free agent at the beginning of the year?
Josh Howard seems to like playing for Adelman. That's my explanation, anyhow.
He's happy to be playing for anyone.
Watching the Celtic's broadcast. I had the volume turned off for most of the game. Turned it on for about a minute before that experiment ended.
It has been pretty rough. If I don't have the volume on I tend to forget to watch.
I'm the same way. That's the reason I tried the experiment in the first place.
Every time I see the Rubio backyard wresting commercial I get afraid for his knee.
Pek with a turnaround jumper that went in
where did that come from?
Love double-double. Ho-hum.
Josh Howard > All of last year's wings
That is a pretty damning indictment of Kahn's drafting ability, I think.
Today is Mrs. Buffalo's birthday. I made the gesture, among other gifts, to turn the heat up to 64. She wasn't really amused.
It amuses me, though. Does that help?
Dear Timberwolves,
Free throws are free. Please make them.
Sincerely,
Guy who doesn't have to shoot them.
I can't believe Boston's offensive gameplan of allowing the shot clock to run out before Rondo chucks a wild shot is actually working.
If I could only drink one thing the rest of my life I am pretty sure it would be this.
I can't believe I haven't purchased any of that yet this year. But I did pick up a bomber of this recently. [edit:nope. it is this]
That's a gadol beer.
Has anyone ever noticed that Dante Cunningham and this guy have the same tattoo? I wonder if they were in a club together or something?
this game is starting to get to the danger zone..gotta score some points
the one where Scotty Brooks looks like Val Kilmer
Well this got ugly real quick.
Sometimes the second night of a back to back is going to get you.
There's a lid on the T-wolves basket, right?
JJ might get fined for that embellishment on the Green foul.
the Wolves are 11-24 (.458)from the stripe
That's worse than they shot from 3P range last night, I think.
OFFS. 4ltr has "Kobe" as a heading on its bottom line crawl.
