Blazers @ Twolves Valentine day edition (anti love style)

[MIXUM]

Here it is folks. Look at it. What you are looking at may be one of the most historical nights in NBA history. Tonight, against the Blazers, the Wolves ran out a starting perimeter rotation that racked up a combined total of 1 point, 0 rebounds, 0 assists, and 6 turnovers. That is truly amazing.

Unfortunately, Basketball Reference doesn't allow for multiple player searches on its wonderful data safaris so I can't tell you if this is the only time in history 3 starting players have never made a field goal, but walk away knowing this: Your favorite team is awful and it may have just surpassed its previous awfulness with tonight's unbelievable nonsense. Repeat it to yourself: the Wolves just fielded a starting rotation where 3 players didn't do anything. Sean Marks, widely regarded as the worst player in the NBA, outscored the entire Wolves starting perimeter rotation. That is notable. That is disturbing. That is the story of tonight's game.

Other items of note:

The Blazers came out looking to destroy Kevin Love. They did it. While he ended up with a double double, he did so with cheaply assigned rebounds (I counted at least 2 rebounds that shouldn't have been counted) and nothing else at all. Tonight, he wasn't close to an All Star. Tonight, there was nothing real to cheer about. I'm one of the biggest Love fans out there but I'm done with the double/double streak. It's lipstick on a pig at this point.

Well folks, that about does it. Something really amazing happened during tonight's game. The Wolves had 3 starters who didn't do jack shit and...well, there's no way to dress it up.

So the Blazers might have just set a team defense record (and NBA defense record) against starting perimeter players . . . chalk up another victory for Nate's focus on defense.

Why are you posting other peoples works, as if it's your own?

If you post something that you didn't write, usually people will link it or make reference to it not being their own work.

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

Welcome to Love's 2010-2011 season.

He was outplayed by Cunningham tonight. He should be embarrassed.

Welcome to Love's 2010-2011 season.

He was outplayed by Cunningham tonight. He should be embarrassed.

Have you seen Love's excuse for his numbers, I'm so not impressed with this guy:

Love finished with 12 points and 11 rebounds, just barely extending his double-double streak to 41 games, the longest since Moses Malone had 44 in a row in the 1982-83 season. He only attempted seven shots and was outworked all night by Cunningham and Aldridge.

“I did feel like they were coming at me,” Love said. “A lot of the time they were hitting rebounds out when they saw I could get a hand on it. But it wasn’t an advantage or disadvantage.”

Hope you guys liked my replay of LA drilling Love in the grill!

It was awesome. Can you send me that?

Uh oh. DC just dropped an N bomb on twitter.

I was thinking the same thing. As a person with no reason to be on Twitter, since I'm not that interesting, nor should my friends, family, or business contacts, what the hell does all of the @...@...@...phrase...@...mean?

Is it like being an internet stalker?

 

[The_Lillard_King]

Twitter is a blast.

Try it out . . . like anything else, takes a little getting used to, but there is a reason so many people do it.

LA just joined this month. Very funny and religious guy.

 

[BBert]

Yeah, well I keep looking at it and I still don't know who said what to whom. @ and out.

What if I don't care about his every thought? I recognize the direct communication of it all, and I think it's an easy way to control your public message, if you're smart enough to do it, but I still don't get it. I actually find it a bit disturbing that politicians now use Twitter to make their public statements. There is very little accountability in that medium, at least in terms of being challenged by your thoughts.

I didn't see the msg either. Not sure what it meant.

If you aren't interested, than I don't think you would like twitter. I was only saying that I think it's a cool site and worth checking out. (So you read through a bunch of poster thoughts about a player but you aren't interested in that player's thoughts?)

In terms of getting it . . . it is just another way of communicating. It is fast and short, which seems to fit today's society. I like it because I don't really have the time to write or read blogs and it is an another way to keep up with people.

It's part of all this social media stuff that seems to be a big craze . . .

twitter is for the gheys, i am convinced.

I'm not dogging it, Kiss_My_Darius. I'm just not getting it. Nobody in my extended social/business circle is Tweeting, so far as I know. If I wanted to be a recipient of news from celebrities, it seems like it would a good platform. Am I that far off on it? What value are you getting from Twitter other that isn't one-sided? I really would like to know, as a business owner.

There are a lot of business people doing it. You like someone's tweet, one click and you are at their website or facebook page (another hot social media for businesses). I have several tweet lists that inculdes tech talk, sports talk and other interests. Just added good works wine club to my list as an example. Looks like a lot of updates on wines, prices and links to articles. I follow people like my collegues/competitors, Blazers, PA (who just posted pictures of his trip to antartica), various people of interest (took Blake's wife off the list as she tweets way too much)

Funny, I joined for business purposes but am actually having more fun with the silly part of it and seem to always digress to the purely social part of it. For me it's like reading 1-4 line blogs of people I'm interested in. Again, I and many othere did it originally for business reasons.

Thanks for the input! I do appreciate it, and it shows me some value for Twitter regarding my business.

Watching Kevin Love's trip to Dante's inferno was divine comedy.

 

[RoyToy]

According to a Wolves blogger 2 of Love's rebounds shouldn't have counted. That would put him at 9 rebounds for the game and end his 10/10 streak.

The streak has probably gone a lot longer anyways then it should have because I don't really trust the stat keepers for the Wolves. As far as I'm concerned his streak is meaningless at this point.

Flawless victory.

"Martell Webster led the Wolves with 17 points, but Minnesota got just one point, no rebounds and no assists combined from starters Jonny Flynn, Corey Brewer and Wes Johnson"

why is webster not starting for this team?

A. Because he's erratic Martell Webster
B. Because he started the season injured and has missed the last 5 games with back spasms
C. Because they usually have the far superior Michael Beasley
D. Because they spent the #4 pick on a SF
✓ E. All of the above

STOMP

The guy's entire season shouldn't count. He's the lead player on a terrible team. Has there ever been an All-Star player from a 13-42 team prior to this "white guy we need" pick by David Stern?

The fact that his biggest booster is nowhere to be found tonight should be enough validation for the farce that Kevin Love is in the eyes of the NBA.

As soon as they showed that replay with the ball going in reverse, I gave thanks to my HCP Buddha statue.
