The Wolves gagged that game away. Very disappointed at the blocking call on Rubio that decided the game. He was squared up to Kobe, and Bryant lowered his shoulder and ran over Rubio. It's MN's fault for not putting away the game when they had a chance, but I hate that call against Rubio. Complete talk. Hope his knee is OK.

Is it just me or do other teams get way more calls with their big men with the ball in the paint.

Love has to be hacked to near death to get the calls Bynum was getting tonite.

Just disgusting .

Oh and the horrid call cost the gopher their game tonite.

Ouch

it gets almost comical (if you think a grown man yelling at the refs in the TV comical) watching the refs when Williams gets by Kobe and Blake(?) gets his rebound goes back up gets slapped across the arm by Bynum scores no call and then on the other end Bynum does a one hand shot barely gets touched if at all and they send him to the line with the and 1. The Lakers are the most frusterating team to watch cause the refs favor them so much it ain't funny. Just ask Adelman what he thinks of the Lakers......Hopefully Rubio is ok with Barrea out we are getting thin at PG- who woulda thunk it....GO WOLVES

Hopefully last nights game isn't a symbol of what will happen the rest of the year now but I'm not too optimistic. Although Rubio didn't have the greatest stats in the world he definitely brought an energy that will be missed. Alot of turnovers last night and terrible defense against one of the worst teams in the league. Whats really troubling is the fact that Love and Pek had very good games once again and we still lost because we are so darn inconsistent everywhere else on the team! The majority of players on the team just cannot be counted on.

Brutal and he's going to miss the Olympics too!

I guess the positives are, one, Knee surgeries have come along way and you can now expect a full recovery for the most part. Two he'll have plenty of time in the weight room to get stronger particularly the upper body where he needs it most. And although not ideal he'll be refreshed mentally as this kid has played a tremendous amount of basketball at his age and that wears on you.

Darn it tho!

Well, I am thinking it will be back to the less then mediocre play like last season. Rubio was the spark on offense. At this point I think we ride the season out, and if we do make any trades, it is just to clear cap space for next season. I dont htink they should throw money, or trade assets away to try to save this season anymore. Sucks, but being a MN sports fan, we get used to it.

That was a fun game now couple days rest and then Utah...Pek is continuing to be a beast (now if they would just continue to go to him) and KLove just keeps doing his thing. Hopefully Beasley isn't injured too bad and with JJ back last night hopefully we can find 3 more wins on this road trip...(utah,sac,gs)
