Blazers @ Twolves Valentine day edition (anti love style)

[julius]

I like how Love got his double double once the game was pretty much decided, and now can pad the stats.

 

[KingSpeed]

Don't the Blazers have the season series with Utah (2-1) right now? So in that sense, they'd be ahead.

Utah has a better record. They will still be ahead of us in the standings.

 

[Darkwebs]

Rudy sealed the deal. Game over. Blazers win 5 in a row!

 

[Klinky]

Brad is making a decent comeback against our new computer overlord.

 

[julius]

Utah has a better record. They will still be ahead of us in the standings.

On what planet is 31-24 better than 31-24?

 

[KingSpeed]

no 6th seed. win ties them and we hold tiebreaker.

My bad. I thought they had 32 wins. Sweet. Yes, we're 6th seed if Denver loses and if we win.

 

[KingSpeed]

I was mistaken.

 

[Darkwebs]

I cannot believe we will be 6th after all the crap that's happened to us. Unfathomable. Blazers continues to persevere.

 

[Klinky]

BALL TO THE FACE LaMarcus to Love!

 

[Darkwebs]

Hahaha. LMA spiked the ball in Love's face on purpose. J/k.

 

[Darkwebs]

Dante was a monster tonight. He won us this game with his unrelenting hustle.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Definitely an all-star performance from K-Lo

 

[Darkwebs]

4 straight years of sweeping these Wolves. 16 straight games. That is nuts.

You know what assuming does?

 

[Nikolokolus]

I gotta say Zags, I've remained pretty neutral in the whole "K-Love is a great player" debate, but after watching him 3 times against the Blazers and another 3 times besides for the helluvit, I don't get the hype.

BALL TO THE FACE LaMarcus to Love!

We need a .gif of this STAT! That was the best part of the game! Way to cap it all off. I do believe Lund talked about how LA should throw the ball in Loves face today on his show, to show how pissed he is, haha.

 

[Nikolokolus]

ps. Johnny Flynn is shite.

Wait until he gets some legitimate options around him. He has a garbage team around him and I've never claimed he was a go-to man scoring wise. Tonight, might have been his worst game of the year.

 

[PapaG]

Obsessed, much?

Just found it funny. I did like how the T-Wolves were force-feeding your mancrush the ball late in the game to get him another worthless double-double.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

This will be a tough tough game for so many reasons.

1. They are due for a loss vs minny.

2. Love will wanna prove he belongs in all star game.

3. Tough to beat a team four times in 1 year.

4. Love on valentines day seems like a cant lose. ESPN will be all over that.

5. They are getting Ridnour, Beasley, Webster back.

6. Tough game for Blazers night before.

Im saying a twolves win.

0-7 on that post!

Force feeding him? He needed the rebound last to get the double-double.

 

[B-Roy]

0-7 on that post!

Did someone say 0/7?

Hmmmmm ... maybe, but I don't think that's actually it. He lacks something in the eye-ball test (at least as far as calling him an "all-star" goes).

Put him on OKC with Durant and Westbrook, or on Denver with Melo and Billups. He's not the type to carry a team, but a dynamic 2nd option.

 

[crowTrobot]

we could also potentially be ahead of 5th place NO in the loss column at the break (6th only by tiebreak, 1/2 game from 5th)

Now that was impressive but why would you remember that?

 

[Nikolokolus]

Well technically that would make him the third option ... And I agree that's probably where he would be best suited (in other words, not really an all-star caliber player, despite his astronomical PER and obscene rebound rate).

 

[PapaG]

If/when he gets some better players around him, he won't be the "All-Star" player on that team. This is why players putting up garbage-time stats on garbage teams should not be All-Stars. Stern doesn't understand this; the coaches do, though.

 

[julius]

Man, if Love got some serious talent around him, he might average 50 points and 25 boards!1!11!

 

[B-Roy]

Now that was impressive but why would you remember that?

Because he was 0/7 and had 0 points 7 rebounds.
