If you set your playoff hopes on the Wolves winning in Dallas, you deserve to have them crushed.

The Wolves sure are winning a lot late, huh?

We were so damn close. Lots of guys balled though. Wish the whole season was like this.

He made a mistake. He drove one, maybe two seconds too early. That was probably the FIRST time that he has had the ball in his hands to try and win a game in his NBA career. Every other time we've been in that position Foye has the ball. He's been playing well lately, so give the guy a break. From what I can tell, we have no plans for him to be our starting pg, and I think if he keeps playing and improving like he has of late, then he could be a good backup for us. He's indicated in the past that he wants to be here, and obviously he wants to succeed. We need a better pg, yes, but Bassy has done more that I think any of us expected when he was thrown into the trade as a filler.

I'm not sure what Mac is doing with his rotations and benchings. Kevin Love has played just 38 minutes in 2 games, Williams and Brown play two in a row then don't get any court time for the next group of games. There is no point playing Ollie and Cardinal for more than 10 minutes a night.

I agree. He's played well lately. I'd be fine going forward with him as a backup PG for us.

Why do we seem to play better on the road than at home so frequently? I mean, there is no reason a 24 win team should have a better road record than a home record. There's not one other team in the entire league that can say that, and it's by two games? I mean seriously, is it the new court? What? lol

And hopefully the last.

It wasn't just bad timing on the drive, he also jumped off of two feet. Even Jim Pete knows that when Bassy jumps off two feet it is either a block or he gets the ball stripped.. He needs to learn the limitations of his game. And as far as I can tell he thinks he has none.
And what about the three he took at the end?
