we need more Love, Ricky, Ellington and Pek
by LobosfromMadrid on Jan 27, 2012 8:15 PM CST up reply actions
I think we could win consistently
even if ricky, ellington, and pek could score 8-10 each. I think we need Love to be the center of our offense.
Ugg
really slow internet right now, the feed keeps freezing
yeah
I suppose I sound really old if I say that the interwews is really slow.
Let's go guys!

what was the game plan? let's abuse Duncan with Pek..

Unicorns do exists, on wolves skin.
So this is what it looks like when our starters score

by googoleeoottooooleeoottooooleeeatta on Jan 27, 2012 8:43 PM CST reply actions
I think he's more comfortable driving left.
They should put him on the right side of the court so he can drive with his strong hand toward the lane (as opposed to the baseline).
That is reason enough for me
not to re-sign him. Once the ball goes to him, he thinks he has to shoot no matter how well he is contested.

he was trying to help Love with Splitter. Love is hurting us really bad on D
that open 3 was because they had to double down on Splitter
Close the game with Luke is like flip a coin.
Is he going to hit more shots than the ones he is going to permit?
Pekovic is showing an actual understanding of the PnR game.

First full game that I have watched this season
It’s nice to see some actual defense being played. Pekovic has been a monster. Will be watching more games for sure.
Wes dominated the defensive end the last 5 minutes
Shut down Jefferson and stepped up with the block and rebound
I think Love's defense down low kept TD from elevating on the shot...
…Wes came over the top for the block. Good teamwork.
Pek gave Duncan a good bump to move him back,
and then Wes swooped in to block the attempt. Good team D. Good work by both of them.

im very happy with the pace we play the 4th
i think this was the first game we play over control, even doing bad plays we show great confidence
Got here late
went to the front page and couldn’t find a second game post and was shocked to see only 500 comments. Thanks to GWST11 I found my way here so I could say, damn but I’m loving these guys.
Just win, baby, win.
Yo ho ho and a FirstRow stream!
Here it is...
Pek: “I like to crush my enemies. See them driven driven before me. And hear the lamentations of their women.”
I understand why every team was ao high on Pek in the 2nd round.

Joe Mauer grounded into double play, second to shortstop to first, ________ out at second
Amazing game!! Some issues to take into account:
1) Ricky to Love/Pek is the most reliable way of scoring.
2) Pek is growing as the center the Wolves need. He needs a lot of minutes.
3) Beasley doesn’t fit in the new Wolves system. Trade him or he will slow down the Wolves when he’s on the floor.
4) Ellington > Luke.
5) Does Wes have a twin that played today?
6) Ricky, Love and Pek (the Wolves core right now) in double doubles.

This felt more like a playoff game
Slower pace, good defense on both sides, and a grind it out sort of victory. Despite Kahn’s best intentions, we’re far from a “breathtaking” fast break ball club.
I just watched the Love Oop a few times
I didn’t realise just how much, but that was S.W.E.E.T. If that’s not a top three play of the day in the entire daily schedule there will have been some monster plays.

Waiting for VooDoos report card/ trade card tonight!
I really enjoyed this game, but I will enjoy the Lakers beat down even more…
Ricky is lobbing at an Ooptimal level!
Wow, Orlando is on a mudslide. They've been toast offensively for 4th time in 5 games
Maybe Dwight should consider adding us to his shortlist. He would look like a true superman with countless oops from our unicorn

Rubio needs a break
played the entire second half. We need JJ back so Rubio’s minutes can go down to something more normal. Not smart to be gassing our point guard in a shortened season.
Yes
Because there is less games, but no because there are more games per week than with a regular season. Players are getting less rest and its led to a plague of injuries throughout the league.
And once again we screw ourselves out of a good draft pick
Oh, wait…
You can't...dust...for vomit.
Nice PnR demo with JPete and Quincy Lewis right now.
Illustrates the footwork necessary to play D on the most basic play in basketball.

Can't believe Rubio didn't get any steals today. Made countless deflections and forced turnovers
by bluedevil_unicorno on Jan 27, 2012 9:26 PM CST reply actions
Rubio is a huge reason we lock down in the 4th quarter
He just takes his D to another level. Parker got the best of him for a while there in the second half, but then as time went on Rubio picked things up a notch. God, we’re lucky to have this kid on our squad.

Five fouls,

True
But were any offensive? It’s the 3-second violations and moving screens that are killers because we lose possession. I don’t mind the defensive fouling from him as much.

Second night of a back to back
and Houston will be fresh again. Then we play them in February as the second game of a back to back for both of us, two weeks later we play with both teams rested.
Yo ho ho and a FirstRow stream!
we just won a game were we only took 9 threes and made 2

How's this?
But the Wolves turned the ball over just two times in the second half . . .
How’s that possible?

Nice time with you again and nice win. God night/morning from Madrid, amigos.
I’m going to miss the Lakers-Wolves because I have to sleep that night. The Wolves are in good hands with CH cheering the Wolves through the game. I’ll read CH’s threads on monday afternoon. I’m looking forward for a .500 in L.A.!!!!

I actually wasn't worked up about it
It was a teachable moment for me (“see what too much beer makes people act like?”)
But a couple of the guys among that group were giving a couple of the offenders a hard time “Dude -watch your language, there’s a kid back there!” It was kind of sweet.
But what a great game. My first this year, and such an unbelievably different experience than in recent years. I do wish they’d start putting a few teams away a little earlier, though. Some of these guys need rest.

Watching Sportscenter and they are gushing about Ricky. :)
Nice. Also showed Wes’ block on Duncan in the game highlights. Waitng for the top plays. Ricky/Love has to be on there.
Kinda disappointed
they didn’t show pek beasting it up and mention the return of beasley and webster.

Fantastic win
Great to see them just grind out a low scoring win when the shots aren’t falling, especially against a veteran team that has won a lot.
This might be the first close game I can remember in recent years when I never thought at any time in the 4th quarter that they were going to lose.
I've changed my sig. The Wolves are now like a reasonably decent meal.

Apocalyptically weird.
Even with the Garnett teams, aside from the WCF year, I always expected us to lose games against good teams that were close in the 4th quarter. The last two games (yes, the road game too!), I expected us to pull away when it mattered.
I’m going to need to ruminate on that one for a while.
