Still love Steele though. He's my homeboy

Yeah, he is sort of like Magic Johnson on ESPN's crew.... positive person, but he just states the obvious. "The lakers won this game because they scored more points than the thunder."

We're paying Turk already, he should replace Turner.

Matty is one of the greats. Pretty hard act to follow. Turner doesn't annoy me, so he'll do.

I like Turner. When they let go of Matty I was hoping they would either hire him, Garrity or Battie.

I sort of miss handing out Dunce Caps. When you're terrible, it becomes too much handle.

I'll re-start the tradition when we get back to being a Playoff team.

Just re-name it "Tank Commander Of the Year Award" Whoever has the most after 82 games is the ultimate commander.

There's an idea :lol:

I like this idea. Needs a cool graphic.

Oladipo is a spectator to the Afflalo show

I'll be honest, I was shocked to read Oladipo played 36 minutes. I know he took 14 shots, but it felt like he was hardly out there.

You guys gave us a run for our money in the second half, but I don't fault them for coming up short because I know how good the Wolves could be this year. Its too bad "Jock" doesn't play Nicholson more. He should be starting.

See you on April 5th!

It also helps if Oladipo was as talented as MCW.

Because REASONS.

I want the absolute best odds at a young stud. Even though there are no guarantees of a high pick.

hahahahah anyone remember when The Dante and Galante show had the segment called "what did Hedo say?" lmao. I am in favor of your idea, the comedic value could be GOAT.

I too would have preferred Battie, the guy is a natural for TV but he just started, needs seasoning. Brian Hill looks like his face don't move lol.

I missed the 1st half did anyone catch how Moe played? I read someone say he played "bad" but what I saw in the box score just shows he didn't take many shots.

Anyone care to enlighten me?

Blue_and_Whte · Post #676 » by **Blue_and_Whte** » Thu Oct 31, 2013 1:10 pm

I'm not too worried about Afflalo as our go to scorer. They're just showcasing him for a trade.

He was disinterested and unmotivated. He might as well taken the night off.

I suspected Andrew Nicholson actually played better defense on Kevin Love than Jason Maxiell did, and the numbers support my suspicion.

Kevin Love (TOTAL)...........[.500 eFG%, .610 TS%]: 31 pts, 8-19 fg, 3-8 3p, 12-16 ft

Kevin Love (vs. Maxiell)......[.688 eFG%, .729 TS%]: 14 pts, 5-8 fg, 1-3 3p, 3-4 ft
Kevin Love (vs. Nicholson)..[.250 eFG%, .556 TS%]: 8 pts, 1-4 fg, 0-0 3p, 6-8 ft
Kevin Love (vs. Jones).........[.429 eFG%, .523 TS%]: 9 pts, 2-7 fg, 2-5 3p, 3-4 ft

I could not find the respective minutes played in each of these match-ups, but I think the percentages are very informative.

Nobody can take your comments about moe seriously since you've had it out for him since Orlando traded for him.

@RygoBOOM- No he didn't play well but Aaron and Vuc were and the focus offensively as they seemed to be playing well along with Nicholson. Hark played with energy, played good defense as he normally does his performance just didn't stand out on the box score. He wasn't maliciously taking the night off as thelead is implying.

2pts, 1 reb, 1 ast in 20 minutes is not an okay game. Like I said, he might as well taken the night off. The guy has to play with energy and he didn't. He is an athletic freak, there is no reason for him to get only 1 rebound.
