If they lose, will you stop posting BS about Love?


Better luck next time, Love fan boy.

sprained finger on right hand, went to locker room, came back to bench but never back in game, wolves down 10 at the time, quite a turnaround

well, we have played the least amount of games, so we won't be getting those multiple days off as much.

it's the rule


We've all saw it broken before, multiple times, so don't think we'll escape easily. Still, if we execute well, we should win.


love's hand or the 100 rule?

Looking like Love's horrible shooting is having a bigger impact on us losing than I thought.

Nice to finish out a game that was as close as it was. 2 huge shots from Rid and Barea made that happen. Last nights game must have been thrown out of everyones memory bank because this team played way better. Makes me feel a bit better because I felt pretty down on the team last night, good win even though it didnt seem like we really played that great.

Read into this what you will: A couple of players mentioned how transition defense improved in 4th-qtr run

Wow, that's an impressive win. Denver had only lost one game at home before tonight.

This team is so unpredictable right now.

us doing better when hes not on the floor is a big sign imo.

i know hes injured and out of shape, but the things thats costing us games is what hes done for most of his career. its just now hes not making his shots that hes hurting us even more by being out there.

honestly if flipping him would give us a young high potential wing and a athletic big. thats possibly after this season tho.

i would think about it.

man ... I just cannot stand watching Love lumber down the floor anymore. Last year he was running the floor well and this season he's merely loping. What a slug

I think that's because last year he was the fittest he'd ever been in his life and he has let himself go a little bit this season, as he has said.

JJ Barea deserves more credit tonight. He was huge in the last quarter.

jj's won us the game again, sometimes he plays really bad, but you have to give him credit, he has the balls to carry the team in really difficult situations.
Aaaaaaaarrrrrrrrooooooooo!
