Pretty damn sad.


Insult to injury: The Wolves flew home immediately after Sunday night's game, so at least they were spared the Monday reviews.

The Oklahoman featured a front-page photo of the Thunder's Kevin Durant and Nick Collison hip bumping and a bulletin-board quote from Chris Wilcox, who said, "This is a team we were supposed to beat."
Opined columnist Berry Tramel: "I know. I know. Players aren't supposed to talk like that. But they're as clued in as the rest of us.You circle Minnesota at the Thunderdome as a victory, and if you don't get it, it's opportunity lost."

It is the same way here though, you play crap teams like that and you know you are supposed to win

We will beat their crappy team many times in years to come

every bad team circles other bad teams to justify that they are not as bad. Fact is if Foye played Average, if we shot average or if we boxed out we would have won. They did not win, we lost.

I don't know man, it looked like we got our butts kicked to me. They were flying over us, grabbing boards, making shots, made us look sorry.

Even considering the offensive rebounds, we were putting it to em the first half. They really didnt have anything going. It wasnt till toward the end of the 3rd that they started the comeback. Foye may have been bad the first few games, but theres no way he goes 0-10 again.

Nah, we definitely handed that one away, they weren't kicking our butts. Maybe a little on the front court with all the offensive rebounds, but we were still up like 12 points while Foye was basically crapping the bed. They just didn't take control of the game and finish them. Lessons need to be learned from this. And Foye needs to snap the heck out of his slump. And they NEED to get Mike Miller more involved offensively.
