OT- Around the NBA

[Nikolokolus]

Darko on the other hand ... jesus that guy blows goats. I'm not even remotely a T-Wolves fan and watching his shitty, lackadaisical play makes me angry.

Kevin Love is a fucking man possessed getting to the foul line so far tonight:

1st quarter 14-15 from the foul line ... insane

He is playing well. But the Buck fans are getting pissed at the superstar status this guy is getting. And I would agree with them. I would say about 7 of those free throws in the first quarter were bullshit. Including the 1st three pointer he took when he leaned into the defender. Wasn't that exactly why they changed the rule this year? I think the ref forgot.
None-the-less he looks to be in great shape.

[Boob-No-More]

That's how you win games in the long run

And apparently how you lose them in the short run. His team is down 12 at the half.

LOL ya. That team has a ways to go. Nice foundation with Love, Williams and Rubio though

Wolves down 14 in the 3rd, though.

Rubio is terrible, Williams doesn't play defense, and Love thinks he's a franchise player, when he's really a great third option.

I don't see how Minny is better before they have to start shelling out contracts to Love, Beasely, etc.

Rick will need to teach them how to play team defense if they are going to start winning. Right now, they can't stop anyone from scoring.

You really think Rubio is terrible?

[MickZagger]

Miami's found their PG of the future. Norris Cole. Baller.

[PapaG]

You really think Rubio is terrible?

Did you watch any of tonight's game? He's terrible for a lottery pick. Brandon Jennings abused the poor guy.

[PapaG]

Kevin Love goes 31/20 while going 6/18 from the field.

What a ballhog!!! I can't wait for the fights in that lockerroom this year while his more talented teammates start to get pissed about the White Hole dominating the game in losses.

No, I missed the entire thing

[Fez Hammersticks]

Love is a beast.

Beasley has such tunnel vision.

I noticed that Darko has the touch of Przybilla on offense -- he really should be asking for the ball. I'd think Rick would have realized this. Guess not.

Love is a STAT BEAST. He went 6/18 tonight against a bad team. Fantasy team? All-NBA. Real world? Franchise player for a lottery team.

I fear you might be right.

[Fez Hammersticks]

He'd be a great 2nd/3rd option guy on a contender.

Did you watch the game? Many of those misses were tip-ins that didn't go down.

[Fez Hammersticks]

Pau padding his stats in a blowout.

Lame.

[Brock]

Are the Jazz worst team in the Western Conference?

[Fez Hammersticks]

Pau was playing the game when they were up by nearly 30.

He scored 20 pts.

His first 20 pt game since April.

LAME.

[Nikolokolus]

It's funny how Kevin Love can engender such strong reactions. I will say this without hesitation, if the T-Wolves don't lock him up with an extension, I'd love to see the Blazers get this guy with a chunk of their cap room this summer.

[Brock]

Well we will need a center with Camby and Oden leaving.

[Nikolokolus]

If the Blazers could somehow acquire Love I think LMA can play some center ... wouldn't hurt to draft a project though.

[BlazerCaravan]

I'd like Love/LaMarcus/Wallace(or Batum) as my front line. Three forwards, but Love rebounds like a center, and LaMarcus posts up like a center. No problem for us there, lots of problems for the defense (since all three forwards have range out to 22 feet).

He's putting up franchise numbers, though. LOL. That's the point. Minny almost has to max him, don't they?
