Im not mad at all. We played hard. Al missed atleast 5 shots that he normally doesnt miss throughout the game. If he makes those we probably win.

I get pissed at the lack of travel calls in those situations too. But he was already calling timeout as he was falling to the ground.

Im pretty sure Bassy's play tonight takes him out of the starting lineup

I realize that, thanks. My point is this is a much easier game to take than the Sacramento loss last night

GG Wolves. Almost got the W while the Blazers were sleep walking through the first half.

The 8 FTA 5 assists and 3 blocks looks good on Jefferson

We need someone that's willing to jump into the opposing teams front line when they take it to the hoop. At least try to draw some contact?
Roy got at least 2 calls just from jumping into defenders with their hands up that were not moving did not foul. we need some killer instinct like that on the wing.

From the looks of it, we might reach 10 wins at 82 games!

Re: I know its the Blazers.... but we do have a game tonight
Thats a 10 point loss to the Mavs, though that was way closer, 3 point loss to OKC, 4 in 2OT to SAS and 4 to the Blazers. Other than the Sac-Town Massacre, we are playing tough teams close. Im with Vega, this was a tough tough game and we didnt pull it out, the better team did.
With a real NBA coach, we might be at 4-2 or 3-3 right now.
I also think we have seen the last of McCants this year. Even if he is not traded i dont think they are gonna go out of their way to sign him. Im not giving up on him, but it just doesnt seem like he is gonna be here long. Anyone else get that feeling?

It was a tongue and cheek comment like a large percentage of my posts.
We were only in this one because Portland played poorly for a lot of it and, like usual, Minnesota couldn't close it out. I agree that it's easier to take since it wasn't a double digit loss to a team like Sacramento and there were flashes of good offensive decisions, but it now gives us a five game losing streak.
And I'm a little bitter about it.

As a non-Timberwolves fan, I'll admit, I haven't seen much of your team this season, but I was able to see the huge amount of improvement that the T-wolves have made in just one season. You guys may not make the playoffs this season, but you do have the makeup of a very promising team and should be a force to be reckoned with in the near future.
As for tonight's game, props for the fight that the Timberwolves put up all night long. While you ultimately lost, the Blazers barely escaped this one.

I'm for the lets trade everyone, but Love and Jefferson idea. So yeah, I could agree.

We haven't quite comprehended the meaing of " future."
However, losing is losing and nothing will change it. You lose by 1 or 100, you still lose.

Whoa whoa, im not saying all that. Im saying McCants will probably be on his way out. I dont see any real major shake up though.

Thanks alot man. I really appreciate this kind of encouragement. Especially coming from a fan of a team whose blueprint we are somewhat following with the "build-through-draft/young talent" formula. All we need is our own Nate McMillan-type coach. Good job pulling one this one out tonight, look forward to our clashing in years to come.

Yes, I know what you mean, but I was given my take on it.

I really do like Portland. A bunch of really talented, down to earth guys. I'm pulling for them this season.

We're rebuilding by getting worst each year...So you'll be very tired by the time this horror ends.
