Maybe we should have had Craigers in there at the end. He was grabbing boards all night.

Perk is definately not horrible, not at all.


Hes not horrible...im just sayin that out of frustration...he decent but shouldn't be scoring 21 pts...he bullied Big Al down low, this is why the wolves need a bruising defensive center right now...DAMN YOUR KNEE THEO!!

It's easy to look at the end of the game, but there's plenty of other things the Wolves could have done to win. Al only took 14 shots, that's inexcusable, even when the entire focus of the C's D is preventing him from getting the ball. Gerald played almost the entire 2nd quarter, and it was the Wolves worst quarter on both ends of the court. That's not a coincidence. Not enough ball movement. Al didn't do well on D, but I suspect some of it was because he and Perkins are so familiar which eachother's games.

I don't think we will have to worry about that once Foye comes back. Gerald should not get off the bench. Except when cheering.

Showcase, I can only hope. Much more likely, they thought he would be inspired playing his former team.

I really could care less if he EVER sees playing time again while with the wolves. He is BY FAR my least favorite player on our team.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think Buckner wasn't playing and Shaddy got two early fouls and Brew Crew was already in playing SF.

The game in February is going to get hyped to no end.


don't get me wrong, I still love KG but it really hurt my feelings. this was sad. I know KG is always on fire and when they win close games it's pretty normal but hey no need to call them M'Fers and so on

great game, great fight, there are alot of talented players on the wolves, they are just young and need to come together as a team, which is hard for young guys all trying to prove they belong in the league, to do

Can't wait for the next matchup

i wish you guys the very best of luck in the future, as it is very bright with Big Al down low

ya i don't think any of us all of the sudden hates KG because of this. We're just disappointed that he would make such a gesture that seemed to pointed at wolves players, management, and fans. At least that's how i took it. I have a neverending amount of respect for KG im just disappointed in him.

He's not a great offensive player but he's improving a lot. This is the second time he's lead the team in scoring this week. His got some post moves now and isn't bringing down the ball whenever he gets it. He doesn't get enough PT though, Doc is in love with crappy small ball.

i didn't see much for post moves from perkins. Almost all of his points were either put backs or just nice dishes for easy buckets from his teamates.

It wasn't aimed at Minny, he's done this in other games this season (he was even more crazy during the Houston game).

I still don't get this. Hasn't he always said that about a hundred times during every game? And watching the replay again on Sportscenter right now it looks like he's screaming at the crowd.

okay I didn't really notice at whom he was screaming but in this situation it seemed to me as if he'd do it to the wolves (bench)

well I know KG is intensive and he does it quite often but tonight was differnt. and to be honest, I can't even explain tha properly

Wow. My Celtics won but the Wolves WERE the better team. And I know the pain at what happened to Corey. Having Doc has caused me that pain so I know how you guys feel. I know that stomach feeling ...

Three straight excellent games for the T-Wolves. Big Al is the best inside scorer in the game! Reminds me of McHale as to his magic inside.

Sorry about the KG thing. In an article he did say he appreicated the fans in Minnesota, but lost touch with the franchise itself. He has not forgotten the fans.

You guys are building something here. Long after my Celtics are chewing their own gums in the old folks home, you will be having a young fun team to watch.

I think my Celts have a three year window to do it

The T-Wolves are officially my second favorite team!

"Garnett said he has spent very little time keeping up with the Wolves, has no regrets for the loyalty he showed them, and has little connection with them anymore since most of his old teammates are gone.

"I thank the fans for being behind me," said Garnett. "Minnesota knows they have a special place in my heart when it comes to people there that I had a connection with. But I'm in Boston and I'm enjoying it."

Ummm, by that do you mean that he's suddenly playing with three future hall of famers who spoon feed him dunks and layups? And that he's a complete afterthought for opposing defenses? Cause I think that's what's happening with Perk.
