D-Will or Cunningham are better options than Love at this point. Hopefully he's fine but if he's not then it's not a big deal.

Might be dislocated finger.

Worst scenario is broken thumb. Let's hope it's not that.

Where do you get this crap from? Love with one hand is still 10 times better than Caged Lion.

We need a "later in the season" for him to be healthy for.

TNT is gonna cancel our game if Love and Rubio don't suit up.

Anybody who thinks this team can get by if Love broke his hand again don't know what they are talking about...Honestly...

Later in the season = February-April.

Maybe even later

Getting Rubio back should help offset any loss of Love. He and Derrick Williams seem to play better together than D.Will and any of those other PGs.

Yep. A lot of hurt feelings in this thread.

It's like Love criticized every one of this posters personally and then talked about their moms.

If we lose Love for 2-3 weeks our playoffs hopes are done. I ripped him a lot for his playing tonight, but we need him to win.

This. Although, it is still a big loss. Love was struggling, but he still drew a lot of attention, was rebounding as well as anyone in the game, and takes up a lot of minutes. Love playing his worst still makes more of an impact than Williams/Cunningham can for extended periods of time at there best. I wouldn't be as worried if we didn't have so many injured guys.

AK can play some PF and we can get buy with some minutes of D-Will and Dante there. We'll be ok, but it's definitely a setback.

Not true. With Rubio back he can cover a lot of our defeciencies on Offense. Same with AK. Pek will need to continue to step it up, but we have a lot more depth this year you have to remember.

Shved, AK, Pek, Ridnour, JJ, and Rubio can all create some offense. We'll be ok. We'll probably even play better defensively. So it'll be ok. It's not ideal, but we'll be ok.

Plenty of games left to be played and we'll have Rubio back.

Perhaps an injury to Love would push Kahn to move D.Will, a PG, 1st, etc for Varejao?

Timberwolves PR ‏@Twolves_PR
X-rays on Kevin Love's right hand were negative

Cyborg21 · Post #277 » by **Cyborg21** » Sat Dec 15, 2012 3:27 am

Probably dislocation

We're just asking for an AV injury to occur by joining our cursed franchise.

Doubt it. By the time Kahn is ready to cut the cord on Williams, he won't fetch anything close to a starting quality player.
