How many close losses to good teams does it take to instruct you that they weren't going to win anyway? You and your fellow Wolves' fans' optimism is to be commended, though.

I don't know if they would have won. It's true that they would have had another possession though.

The Celtics were very lackluster tonight, not impressed. Terrible rebounding. The refs really should just call shaq for 3 seconds right when he steps in the lane. It would save everybody time, since it happens every possession . The Wolves brought their A- game, if they stop turning the ball over at such a high rate they might pull out some of these close games.

Michael Beasley is such a disappointing player relative to his pre-draft hype..

What disappointed you? Making every shot in crunch time but the 3?

I've just re-watched the minutes Flynn was on court... what a poor basketball player. How did this guy go top-5? If I were the Wolves, I'd trade him right away for a late 1st and a 2nd round pick or something like that. Just try to get something for him.

I picked up T-Mac as a joke on my fantasy team. The joke is on me.

Need some cheese to go with that?

I don't understand all this hate towards Boston & Miami .. Some of you should take off the homer glasses and see how good they are or can be ..

I don't see how you can root against a team instead of rooting for a team ..

That's what I don't get. Some people spend more time on here complaining about teams they don't like rather than talking about the one they do.

Oh well, if that's their prerogative.

FTs didn't decide this game, not one bit at all. The Bobcats are HORRIBLE on offense. It's sad what this team has become from when it was the Hornets some many years ago.
