Well the Clippers have given up more to Love and Pek than we did. So, there's that.

And Griffin fouled out - brought to you by Kia. :lol:
 
These Clippers commentators are freaking out about CP3 not getting 3 free throws on that foul..

Showed replay of Love getting fouled on a 3/4 court buzzer beater to justify their outrage.. Idiots.
 
lmao! Minny radio guy "Oh, come on, be quiet about the MVP chants" Then Paul clanks it!
 
Then Pek misses a freebie. *sigh* That's why Minny is a lotto team.
 
And Love misses what would've been a game tying shot. The guy is a loser. Stats are meaningless if you can't close.

You talking about the last one after Paul missed the FT? Cause it was Pek that missed.
 
Wolves fans said we were headed for a fall and the division race was between them and Thunder. Not this year. Can't even hang with Nuggets.
 
Rubio's stat line

0 points, 0 steals, 12 assists, 2 rebounds. 0/4 FG in 39 minutes

Great job, Rubio!
 
The decision to go to Pekovic with the final shot was a head scratcher. I'm not sure that Love is long for Minny.
 
Reading the Rube Chat makes this place look so much more tame during game nights. :lol:

Difference is were winning games, they're losing games.

It's what I'm saying. They are much worse when they are losing games than we are when we're losing games. For the most part, it's not a fire sale of our top players like it is there. lol.

If we were under .500, the losses would be more exciting for the forum. Two years ago before Nate got fired was particularly intense. :ghoti:
 
Kevin Love is a monster.

But I'm starting to think he is a stat-monger ala some other players we've seen around these parts...

A near 50/20 game is insane.

Love is the motherfufusjsmruej truth.

They're all defensive boards. He did the same thing against us. 16 defensive rebounds, only 3 offensive boards. He doesn't create second chance points for his team.

He also attempted 15 free throws. I'm sorry, but the NBA is just handing him free points. Dame has to bust his ass to get 8 FTA in a game.

Pekovic was the better player in this game. 34 points off 16-28, 14 boards, but 8 of them were offensive rebounds. Only 3 FTA. He didn't have a bunch of free points handed to him.

What would you rather have 50-20 from your star or a win?

Wow, total melt down. Not sure what the big deal is. They should be used to losing by now. They've been so good at it for so long.

However, I did love this exchange:

"This team needs a PG that can be relied upon late. Giving the ball to Barea & Martin with the game is on the line is throwing away the game."


We should have drafted Ty Lawson or Trey Burke . . .

I've been saying that about Rubio forever, but this is the first time I've seen Twolves fans turn on him. Until very recently they have been adamant that he's better than Lillard. But, in today's NBA, when the guy with the ball in his hands late in the game can't hit a shot to save his life, you're going to have trouble winning close games. They are now 0-7 in games decided by 4 points or less. Rubio can't make a shot, and is afraid to even take a shot late in a close game. Opposing teams know that and totally back off him, deny entry passes and double off him. It's like the Wolves are playing 4-on-5 whenever the game is on the line.

But hey, what about all those flashy passes he makes in the first 3 quarters. Never mind that in addition to ZERO points for the entire game, he had a total of 1 assist in the 4th quarter and ZERO in OT. It's pretty easy to shut down a guy who can't hit a basket in a Pier 1 store and is scared shitless to even attempt a shot late in a close game.

And, the Twolves bench this year may be even worse than our bench was last year. Outside of Love, Pek and Martin, the rest of their team was 7-33. That's .212 FG%. Barea is their best bench player and he's shooting .382 FG% and .321 3FG%. When 2 of your starters and your entire bench can't shoot, it doesn't really matter how good your other three starters are. Love putting up huge numbers is the classic case of stat inflation by the best player on a crappy team. He puts up big numbers, but doesn't really help his team win. He'd be a great Robin, but that team needs a Batman.

That team won't go anywhere until they have an actual point guard, but I'm not sold on Love either.
