Notes on the Night

I will definitely let you know when I am in town so we can catch a game together. That way you won’t have to deal with morons before and during the game, only an affable-quasi-alcoholic-soldier that is an excellent wingman.

A lot of the turnovers were just dumb plays. There were too many bad decisions by the Wolves last night.

With Ridnour, Rubio, and Wes all in shooting slumps (with lengths varying from 3 games to forever), the offense for our starting lineup just can’t get going. Someone needs to hit shots to open up the defense. (Beasley was that guy last night off the bench).

Did you also watch Wes during warmups? I’ve been wondering whether he hits shots at a better clip then. I’m trying to figure out whether he actually can’t shoot at all or is a complete headcase during games.

I checked up on our lottery ticket Malcolm Lee, and he had 9 points on 4-9 shooting in 23:49. He also had 2 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 turnovers, and a steal. That’s a couple of inconclusive box scores. He seems to be doing OK, but I wish the scoring was a little more efficient.

couldn’t have been an easy game to watch in person. I’m thinking the FO and marketing folks need to redo their schedule releases so that games where at least 3 of the Wolves will have a decent shooting night are starred. It would sure be helpful to know which brickfests are home games so we can avoid them….
28 bleeping turnovers may have to be the new tagline. If Adelman has any hair left by the end of next week it will likely be because Sikma has handcuffed him to prevent injury! There were at least 4 passes to nowhere last night as well as 4 more directly to a Dallas player. Pathetic night.
Next time you’re thinking of heading downtown for a game, let me know and I’ll try my damnedest to make it. A bad sinus infection has kept me from doing much this last week, but I’m recovered now.

My buddy and I were trying to spot you in your section, but couldn’t see you.
We’re the guys who hang a giant dime on the back wall of 116 every time Rubio gets an assist.

The game was summed up by my 8 year old daughter.
“The Wolves looked tired and Ricky didn’t look well.”

- I would say the Mavs came ready to play. The Wolves did not.
And didn’t slack off until the Wolves made the run late in the 3rd.
- The starting lineup with Luke at the 2 was a mistake vs. Carter (not that Vince lit it up).
- 28 turnovers in this game. That is all you really needed to see. Most of them were just the Mavs overplaying and rotating right to where they knew we were going with the ball. I still cannot get over that we had only 4 turnovers vs. the Lakers just 2 weeks ago. That was a miracle. How did we do that? And I know we didn’t win. But 4 turnovers in an NBA game. Wow.
- Why does Adelman hate Anthony Randolph?
- Glad this was just one game. Today is a new day!

Go Wolves.

We lost because of missed shots up close and turnovers, and there were one hell of a lot of uncalled fouls involved.

Dallas played their ass off, but with a few foul calls we would have taken this one to the wire.

after Vince Carter’s faked eye injury that stopped the Wolves’ breakaway, Love walked over to the Dallas bench with some words (seriously, Love?). Webster came over to back him up or something, and Beasley came over, grabbed both of them by the wrist, and dragged them back to the Wolves huddle.

It was funny. Second favorite moment of the game (behind D-Will’s hammer putback).
