Well played game so far...
Very evenly matched.
"I'm gonna make you cry...I'm gonna make you cry and dip my cookie in your tears!!!"
Darko back...
Weird that I feel good about that.
"I'm gonna make you cry...I'm gonna make you cry and dip my cookie in your tears!!!"
Refs are gonna win it for the Jazz tonight
Joe Mauer grounded into double play, second to shortstop to first, ________ out at second
Ball don't lie...
T on Love = missed FT
"I'm gonna make you cry...I'm gonna make you cry and dip my cookie in your tears!!!"
wow
I was just starting to write a comment that the refs are letting this game get away from them and I could see Ts happening and then boom, there it was
70 points in 2Q and 1/4....Defense. That's how we get the Ws
Oh shit 2 off rebounds and two tips.
Come oooooon
Too much offensive glass...
Box out, please.
Bringing honor to uncle rico's family since 2011.
This could get ugly quickly...
Back end of a back to back. We look tired.

If you’re going to play such a physical style, you’re gonna get fouls called on you.

Our weakside guards HAVE to rebound better. Our bigs are rotating on D, and forcing misses
Wes...

One little unicorn layup...
And the entire complexion of the game changes. The kid is magic…
"I'm gonna make you cry...I'm gonna make you cry and dip my cookie in your tears!!!"
the kid has the biggest heart.. he just refuses to go quietly into the night..
it’s what I love most about him..
Definitive. Luke and Wes can't play together.
Too much advantage to th rivals. They are always 3 ft behind their man
I've written on this extensively on this site, but Luke is an incredible defensive liability
if his shot is not falling he is a major negative for us
Rubio to Williams...
one reason I cringe whenever I hear Williams floated in a trade rumour. Those two have something special.

You can see a guy's talents even in college.
He’s an average rebounder. That’s not good for an undersized power forward. I think he’ll overachieve and that’s the best thing I’ll say about him.

Hey I get why you didn't like it. I don't blame you.
But if you want an immature brat that insists on dribbling into the point using at least 4 dribbles to do it about 40% of the time you can have Cousins. We get to keep his rebounding, outside shooting, post defense and passing though.

I think they're the team the Wolves will have to worry about the most in the next few years
They’re really set up nicely. Kanter, Burks, Favors, Big Al, a good looking 1st year coach…they’re in the same boat as the Wolves.
It helps to have 4 bigs with varying degrees of, but some amount of, game.
Bringing honor to uncle rico's family since 2011.
Its okay
not worried, we just got to focus on defense and boxing out. I dont think we are getting run out of the building or anything, we need to keep composure
What is going on with AR? Does anyone know?
I don’t want him playing now, but what gives?
Last 4 games AR played,
he only play 10 minutes a game.
Gotta put love and rubio back in.
Sucks, they’ve played a lot of minutes, but we need to do it.

Love forced that one. Needs to pass it out when they collapse like that

Yeah ridnour was open and he could have rotated the ball around
Love needs to put his ego away when he comes onto the court.
he's gassed
but that attempt looked like, dare I say it, Big Al a few years ago. Ridnour was wide open.

he's too reliant on the outside shot..

They're definitely better....
….but it’s a pretty solid example of how this team needs more consistent good performers. Last night they got a career night from Darko to pull out an amazing win. Tonight, not so much.
I'm still tracking
we need a consistently above average wing
by dontbesomean youngfella on Jan 21, 2012 10:15 PM CST up reply actions
1 more guy
That’s it. 1 more consistent above average player. I don’t think it has to be on the wing but that would be great. Then guys like Luke, Wayne, and Barea can be killers off the bench and Williams can be brought along nicely.
in fairness SnP.. today the goat was Love..
they got reasonable production from Wes, Wayne, Darko, etc.
That's fine
Single games with extremes will happen all the time. The more worrisome thing with Love is his rapidly declining 2p%. Trends are what we need to be concerned with. The trend the Wolves have is balls out production from 2 guys, consistent average production from Luke (Wayne is getting there), and hit-and-miss or terrible from everybody else. Last night’s game and tonight’s game kind of even themselves out.
Where do you think this is coming from (rapidly declining 2p%)?
Fatigue/the schedule? Trying to do too much/not trusting teammates? Poor shot selection/playing away from the basket too much?
I think he's getting the shit kicked out of him on every play
I think that’s “the book” on Love right now. Just beat the living shit out of him.
It's all anybody can do.
Punish him for doing what he’s doing. Otherwise, the alternative that is, is that Love dominates your team for 10 years. No coach (or many players) will agree to that.
No mistakes in the tango, Donna. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....
Just watch him for 10 straight possessions
They are literally having guys face him up when a shot goes in the air. I’m surprised he hasn’t taken a swing at anyone yet.
Yeah, that's really obnoxious
It would be nice if either of the 5’s could rebound as well as the point guard. If they had someone else who could do work on the offensive glass they couldn’t devote all their paint resources to the mugging of Love.

Hence his complaining (to a certain extent) I guess.
Being sans LP, I only listened to this game and TO, which I guess were the most egregious of the ongoing trend, but I have noticed it too in the games I have seen.
Kind of a difficult problem to solve, from our end.
This game wasn't televised in Minnesota?
Yall……I don’t even know what to say. That’s flat out dumb. Don’t the Twins and Wild get the heavy bulk of their games on local TV?

Yeah.
I should just suck it up and get LP but with season tix (and all that goes along with those), I already open my veins a few times a week and I just can’t stomach it.
It’s a big problem/controversy. Long story short, due to the shortened season, we
lost the second channel that used to televise the games that didn’t make it onto the main network (Fox Sports North) due to college and hockey bullshit.
I know all of the backstory with that (I didn't make that clear)...
…..and yes it’s a big problem. A stupid problem that the Wolves are doing to themselves. They have a terrific product and have undercut it by not selling it as often as possible to fans who, unless they happen to have the kind of disposable income to fly 600 miles away to attend a game, won’t be able to make the live game.
I could understand not televising home games, but not televising road games? That’s just beyond silly and then some.
No mistakes in the tango, Donna. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....
since rubio jump shot
more than 3 minutes without scoring
true enough, and people were making shots in the fourth..
Rubio’s greatness wasn’t being wasted
I prefer Full Moon Darko
About once a month weird things happen with him.
And then, he goes back to being a fraction of his full potential.

Wes Johnson's TS% coming into the game was 40.1% and after tonight....
…it is 43.6%. So that’s something that’s…..positive?
No mistakes in the tango, Donna. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....
Reasonable.
I’m going to give Wes another go on my fantasy because, honestly, I am that desperate. Also that unlucky this year. Oh well….demz da breakz. Can’t win ’em all as they say.

My fantasy team? You bet. Also, yes the Kings really suck.
I had the fortune of drafting Eric Gordon and Al Horford in the 1st round. I dropped Mo Williams right before his 2 outbursts for…wait for it….Larry Sanders who has yet to play a minute since I picked him up.
I had Damion James, and had to drop him because of his injury. I almost picked up Marshon Brooks but I decided against it. Whoops.
There are equal amounts of dumb decisions and bad luck. But most of it’s bad luck IMO. Sometimes things go your way, and sometimes things don’t. Every year in a fantasy league there is 1 person who has a fantasy team that just has everything go wrong with it. I think I’m that guy in my league this year. It happens.

He isn't really that undersized
He’s underTALL, but his arms are so insanely long that he’s a very good shot blocker. Millsap is a stud, and I’ve been mad about that since draft night. He was a stud in college and it was clear that all Craig Smith could do was score, and only a little.

How much games do you expect to win if our rivals score 108 points?
For me, is a tough W. Winnable game. Some guys didn’t step up in one of the ends of the court
Really this isn't that bad of a loss.
Utah are a good team at home. Had rest. Very deep team as bsg007 said. We arrived there really late. Maybe a little hungover after last night’s win. Would of been asking a lot with a very short bench to win this one.

They look like a real threat to make the playoffs, meaning we’ll get their first round pick next year. We knew that, and obviously we let them win.

Jazz fan's thoughts on T'Wolves
I liked reading your thread to see what you said about the Jazz, so here are my thoughts on your team tonight.
I clinched my butt cheeks everytime Rubio had the ball, dude is so good. I saw Kyrie Irving this year, and he was impressive, but Rubio was much better. He controls games already. It’s really impressive.
D Williams looked awesome as well. There is a big drop from him at #2 pick to our #3 pick Kanter (we like his rebounding though).
Love had a bad game, but I’m still a fan. Wesley Johnson looked good as well. bright future in MInnesota. I’m a fan when you’re not playing the Jazz for sure.
ps – Pekovic looks like he should be wearing track suits and cutting people’s thumbs off in eastern Europe.

It did
We had a bunch of 100+ heat index days in San Antonio.
I was realllly surprised how easy USAF basic was physically. Push ups, 2 mile runs, and a bunch of walking. Once you can wrap your head around the mental bit, it was kind of tedious. I was on flight crew so SERE schools was much more entertaining. “Advanced Camping” is what we called it. It was the only time I’ve been hit upside the head by another grownup. That was fun.
SERE schools.
I’ve heard of those. The funniest part of boot for me was seeing the guys who aspired to be SEALS who were training to make it to Buds and were exercising in full uniform as if it was both easy and a normal thing to do. I hated those guys. LOL
You clearly were much more of a physical freak than I ever was or could be.A number of people often underestimate the difference between being big (which I am) and being a freak (which I am not). There are a lot of skinny guys in the special forces who have ridiculous amounts of strength and endurance that only a cheetah or fish could possess. (Or something like it.)
I knew this guy in Pensacola who was a guy who made it through (I think) 3/4 of Buds on 16% of his lung capacity. For medical reasons (I’m assuming it was insanity but it might have been the whole breathing issue), they let this guy go. This guy came to PCola to become a CT (I think) and he was friends with a guy who lived in my barracks room. They worked out together or some such. I don’t really remember all the details. Anyway, this guy went out and did a 10K after a night of drinking and smoking. And this is not a few beers and cigarettes. This is getting shitfaced for 6-8 hours while going through at least a pack (probably 2 at the rate this guy was drinking) of cigarettes. Oh, and he did all this on 4 hours sleep after the smoking/drinking.
I had one friend who routinely got so pissy ass drunk while going to strip clubs and then would run at least 4 or 5 miles to feel better in the morning. COMPLETELY HUNGOVER. (When I’m in that kind of hangover, I can only think about feeling like shit and possibly eating a few bites of a Subway sandwich. But it takes all kinds I suppose.) He was a roly poly piece of shit and you would have never guessed that he could run like the wind.
These are the guys who make special forces. Until you see it up & close personal, you don’t realize it. Freaks man. I still shake my head when I think of those 2 guys I just talked about.
