You win man. Beat me by 1 minute. So far it's all Kevlar for us with 4 points and 4 rebounds.

He's got a bruised hip, he missed last nights game as well.

Love has a great 5 minutes to start the game, then he gets benched for 10 :nonono:

10 pts 6 rebs in 10 mins...I swear this guy could've been ROY if he had been given a fair share of mins.

we have to remember Love was shooting 38% from the field for the first 2 months with terrible conditioning. I think he was brought along right.

Keep in mind he wasn't known as "in-shape" coming out of college. He's still working on his NBA body and I can't wait to give him a full offseason to keep himself lean while adding more muscle. I'm sure he'll add stamina as well. Be ready for extended minutes and a better player next year..he's only going to be 20..... :cry:

I was just reading the old "Ban Howard Mass draft thread 2008" I forgot how much I was crazy high on Randolph.

Yea he still goes by that. Love is a rebounding beast. We got good ball movement but we only got two guys out there who can hit a J.

Williams and Love are never on the court together. That combo would be well worth a try.

Shell-Rock and Love do need to get on the floor together.

Wolves are on an 8-2 run right now.
