This team needs three point shooters. If McCants can't get out of the dog house, Gordon is a lot more attractive pick.

I wasn't going to drink tonight, but recent events have altered my plans. That was heartbreaking.

I didn't let my friends watch the post game. The TV was NOT going back on.

We beat Dalls without KG. We are 4-2 without him. Both losses were by 3 points or less. We obviously need KG to win a championship. But, We can hold our own without him.

But you can lol all you want. If that makes you feel better about the loss.

Why was McCants in the dog house... I thought you would have had him in for the last play?

You beat one team (Dallas) with a winning record and three with losing records, Miami, MN, and LAC (three of the worst records in the league by the way).

The two losses came to Cleveland and Orlando, potential playoff opponents.

Pretty sure you wont be playing LAC, MN, or Miami in the playoffs, so if KG is hurt again good luck.

Yet, We nearly beat Cleveland and Orlando. Both teams with winning records. If you read my post, I clearly stated we need KG to win a championship. But, We have been playing good enough without him that our record wont take that much of a dip while he is out with injury.

Player of the game for us was without a doubt Corey Brewer. He had the will to win, a 21 year old kid with a huge heart and a big game. If we could have only won it, he would've been the man talking with some reporter.

Dude, enough with your sour grapes hating! We're missing most of our viable bigs (KG, Perk, Pollard) leaving us with three bigs, two of which are 6'7" and the other is Scal, Pierce is sick, and Ray and Rondo are banged up. To top it all off, your team is loaded with ex-Celtics who are amped for this game.

But yeah, this game, a loss to Orlando on a miracle three and a loss in Cleveland by 1 proves that we're not that good. :roll:

Whatever dude.

we def need kg back i will admit that because without him our team concept changes a bit. but him beig out his helping players like powe, baby, rondo as they are stepping up and allowing us to win games. this will be vital in the playoffs as they will have confidence when kg is on the bench. if this was the playoffs i think kg would probably try and give it a go, but where we are a week out from the allstar break, i say rest him until he cant rest anymore!
Also imo it is not suprising that these games with u guys are close given the relationships, and the schemes. gomes,al, bassy probably know doc's schemes better than anyone, so it doesnt suprise me that it is not a run away game. they know how to play against doc's offense, and probably vice versa. having said that, the wolves are not as bad as tere record they are just young. i really am rooting for u guys as i cant wait t see who u guys add to be Al's 2nd guy on the wing this summer.
good luck:)

T'Wolves always bring their A-game when they face the C's. Every game seems to be a close one.

Good Luck in the future. It looks very bright.
