Timberwolves 2011-2012

[ozzie]

hey we have beaten the Spurs the other 2 times we have played them but they were the ones with injuries and we had a healthy squad now the roles have been reversed...oh well they are still fun to watch and make games interesting!!

[YiGGiN4SLoBS]

WHAT A FRICKIN GAME! K durant is unreal... how do you stop that guy?

[schmitty3]

That game was unreal. K Love and Durant were going back and forth. Just sucks we had nobody outside of JJ and Love that could make a dam shot.

Putting Anthony Tolliver on him sure as he11 didn't do it

[ted4887]

It was fun to watch for sure. Makes you wonder how good the Twolves would be if we had a player like Westbrook in the lineup with Love. Those two are just freaks. Seems like Durant is one of the "good guys" in the league too. Always says the right thing.

[YiGGiN4SLoBS]

OKC is my second fav team behind the wolves. they are fun to watch

[Scott M]

Fun game last night, shows what you can do with young talent and a shrewd GM. If we just had that shrewd GM.

[YiGGiN4SLoBS]

We've got the Mirhkat!

[schmitty3]

K Love is a beast!

[mrklean]

to bad he wont win MVP

[SledNeck]

wolves are actually playing great, look what OKC did to the heat

if we played a tad bit better defense, we'd be dangerous

[schmitty3]

Can anyone on this team hit a wide open jumper??? Only person i'd have confidence in is Love. Ridnour should average over 20 a game with the amount of wide open 20 ft looks he gets coming off those screens. Wes and Martell both seem to miss every open jumper. Derrick Williams is hot and cold, and can only seem to make them with a hand in his face. Ellington can't hit them when they count. It's pretty much like practice. These guys should be putting them in like it's nothing. We need a shooter bad.

[ozzie]

Yeah if they would hit the WIDE open shots, the gimme shots, we would have won that game last night and probably a few others during the season. That is part of the missing link to the Wolves, a decent shooting guard that can knock down the open shot and guard other teams shooting guards. Well we should beat Charlotte as long as we play our game.

[schmitty3]

It is bad. It's like shoot around. They don't have anybody within 10 ft of them.

[Scott K]

All I have to say is WOW! Love is just on fire!

I am thinking we got a steal with his new contract now.

[mrklean]

averaging almost 40 points a game last 4 games sick

[schmitty3]

Love's point totals last 14 games... 42, 32, 29, 31, 30, 25, 27, 21, 36, 17, 51, 30, 28, 40.

[pikestabber]

I wonder what excuse the talking heads out east will use now to remove him from MVP talks? Heck, they generally don't even regard him as a top 5 player! He is the clear cut MVP to me...

Take Durant or Kobe or James from their teams, and their teams are still mid-to-high level playoff teams. Remove Love and we are fighting with CHA and NO for bottom of the barrel. If he played for the Knicks, Celtics, Lakers or Heat, he would have been pre-crowned MVP two months ago.

[Scott M]

Yeah, it depends on how you frame an MVP race. Most outstanding player? Most valuable to his team? Guy most memorable from that respective year? Guy you would draft first in that given year if it was an auction?

Love is a max money guy, no doubt. But the MVP race will be between LeBron, D. Wade, Derrick Rose, Durant, and CP3. After that tight grouping, you get to Love, D12, Griffin, Kobe, etc.

The advancement in Love's game in two years is phenomenal...I'm not sure the league has seen anything like it. If he can develop some unstoppable moves and continues being the 4th quarter go to guy and delivers, he will be in a legitimate MVP candidate...right now he's on the cusp but not quite there IMO.

[SledNeck]

stick a fork in em

we REALLY need a SG next season. Love is carrying to much of the load.

[ozzie]

right now we just need some healthy players!!! 15 man roster OUT: Rubio, Barea, Beasley, Ridnour...Playing through pain: Pekovic bums on the bench: Milicic, Randolph....so we are left with All-World Kevin Love Rookies Williams and Lee rusty old Miller just don't get it's Webster and Johnson and good 8th or 9th man Ellington and all hustle Tolliver...not good when your injured roster is better than your healthy one...

Love

Webster

Johnson

Tolliver

Ellington

Williams

Lee

Miller

Randolph

Milicic

and Pek

Out

Rubio

Ridnour

Barea

Beasley

[Scott M]

Season's a bummer now. Lost to Golden State at home. Expectations will be much higher next year with some healthy guys, a less strenuous schedule, and hopefully a new shooting guard!

[Scott M]

Let's go Jazz! Let's go Jazz! Let's go Jazz!

[Scott K]

Do we need the pick this year? We have plenty of youth, we need a vet wingman.

[Scott M]

The Wolves need every asset they can get. With Utah's clinching of the last playoff spot, unlikely as of a couple months ago, the T-Wolves should be drafting in the 15-18 slot. Best available is the pick, but if you had to go SG, Terrance Ross and Dion Waiters should be around. Beal, J. Lamb, and Rivers are probably off the board.
