La Lakers vs Wolves (gamethread)

[Basti]

omg I hate this **** refs! there was at least one hand touching randy's hand while trying to dribble the ball... those mofos

[Sofa King]

Our announcers were asking why the T-wolves don't play Gerald Green. He's a young guy that can get minutes in a game like this. Why not play him?

[deeney0]

Wolves not named Al shooting 33%. Bleh.

Because if Gerald Green were playing, the Wolves would be down 40 instead of 23.

Ouch. Is he really that bad? I figure he could at least play to get his value up in a trade.

[deeney0]

Al just got hacked, no call.

Yes, it is that bad. Gerald did get minutes for a 5 or 6 game stretch a few weeks ago, presumably to drive up value, and that backfired. He was awful. Bad shots early in the shot clock. Horrible defense - always lost, no idea what he should be doing. Poor handling, bad passing the few times he tried to pass. He got minutes when Toronto was way up a few nights ago in the 4th, and as soon as he went in Kapono went off for like 12 straight points.

THIS SUCKS!

[Basti]

whole team just got hacked, no call.

That's pretty bad. I guess he's just another Slam Dunk Champ who just became another chump in this league.

Thanks for the info. I knew the T-wolves didn't extend him but didn't know why.

[deeney0]

Meh, can't blame the refs for most of this. Wolves are just sucking.

He still has a ton of athletic potential, and he's got a nice stroke although his shot is streaky. Most people here probably think I'm a little harsh on him, I just subscribe to the school of thought that players who make mistake after mistake you shouldn't get minutes. Some day Gerald might "get it" and become a star, but that day is not directly around the corner.

yeah that too but the horrible officiating sums it all up to a big disappointment

Lakers have been know to blow leads in the 4th.

[Klomp]

Beasley just got T'ed up

maybe against good teams but you can bet 10k $ that you will have a relaxed 4th quarter tonight

[deeney0]

Right on cue, Gerald in. How far away is Kobe from 81?

[deeney0]

Right there, Gerald didn't even look to pass. Forced up a heavily contested shot with 10+ on the shot clock.

[theGreatRC]

Our first oop?

[Basti]

wow an alleyoop... highlight of the night
