I was at the game tonight - what did Love finish with, 0-7 from the 3? I like Schved & J.J.'s hustle but can we run some better plays with our last two possessions?

Why so hard on the sg situation? They giving Shved a lot of minutes and developing. You rather they get some vet whose not going to be apart of the future. When is Chase getting back?

I understand now why Minny doesnt want to give Love the superstar money. I see he isnt one, or he hasnt shown it this season. I was waiting to see when he was going put the team on his back in the 4th tonite but he never did. After he launched his third 3 in the 4th , i chuckled.

I say trade him and let DWill get his minutes. DW did a nice spin tonite that completely fooled a defender. He has some natural moves that make you go ":wow: . You probably could get Bargani and Ross from Toronto for him. Or maybe you get Ellis from Milwaukee for him. he seems like a player Milwukee would welcome on their squad. They did draft Joe Alexander

did Kahn really expect to make the playoffs in 2013 with this retro version of the 1953 Minneapolis Lakers? :stopitslime:

Chase comes back late Feb. /March.

There is ZERO depth at SG/SF which is causing Shved and AK to run themselves into the ground. There's really no relief for either of them at the moment.Shved's been such a revelation, but had we been healthy, we probably don't even see this from him. I'm not saying bench Shved, but address the glaring needs at the wing spots while you're burning assets.

I don't want Bargs from Toronto. He wouldn't play here.

Maybe Sergio LLuoh would have more incentive to play with yall? Fellow countryma theer and the overall demographic of the team might seem enticing to him.

You think Minny would do a Motiejunas for Derrick Williams trade?

I think many people (even myself at times) have thought of this as a possibility for players coming from overseas (not for guys already here), but I just don't think Llull's interested in leaving Real. I thought Fran Vazquez would man up and make the leap but he never did.


Minny drafted D-Mo. I don't think he really fits what they're looking for. The way things are, Rick will just give Dante Cunningham all the backup minutes anyway.

T'wolves win a close one tonight (really, they didn't lose it) 107-111. Team bounced back well and held up. Take the W's however possible. Also, Pek is a machine.


Wolves now 14-13.

The good:

Pek. Pek. and MOAR Pek: 28 and 11 (13-20 FG) and the best part is that they fed him down in the post in the 4th. Huge equalizer when we couldn't get a play off. Good coaching on Rick's part to feed him. Love took one shot in the last 5 minutes of that game... and we won. Just crystallizes my point about Pek needing to be here for the long haul.

Shved: 12 points, 10 assists, and was the other key component tonight late in the game. Where would we be without Shvedtime aka ShvedAlert?

51% FG, 10 turnovers.

Also, 6 players in double figures, Love 23 and 18 and Ak 21, 5, and 4

The bad:

4 Turnovers for the Suns. 4! 2 of them being offensive fouls. We got the key stop in the 4th but that's tough. Indictment on defense, and Phoenix missed several wide open shots. We dodged a bullet.

Scola had 31 and 10. Just abusive.

Lastly, the Roy situation. I'll just say this: the inevitable is coming. I wanna see Roy back out there, but I also care for his health. If this will impact his life after basketball, just hang it up. It's a risk that needed to be taken. It hasn't worked out. He's out. Now Lee's out. Josh is out and Shved is a rag doll. We're depleted. He's gonna do more extensive stuff, but I'd be stunned if he came back now. I just hope he does the right thing for him and his family, but on this team's part, no regrets. Now they gotta figure out how to get through this. Mickael Gelabale is a guy we're looking at (Garrett Temple's in Washington, CDR's in Dallas). They won't sign someone til 10-day deals are eligible. I'm almost fresh out of options. Wherever we pick next year in the draft, SG/SF is a must.


14-13. 2 game road trip at Utah and Denver coming up. BIG games.
