Timberwolves @ Hornets, January 13th

[Piecake]

Nobody on the team shoot .50% from the field.

Doesnt really matter when Love had 34 points on 17 shots. Thats pretty damn efficient.

Kinda worried about tommorrow though. I am expecting very little energy from Love. Rubio always seems to give good energy though, so we wont have to worry about him. HOpefully Williams has a big game

If you count the FTA's and to's (6) it's 34 pts on 32 possessions. which isn't terrible, but not great either.

But yeah, love and rubio are going to be gassed tomorrow. Adelman really has little to no faith in our bench. no randolph or pek in the 2nd half. not having barea really hurts.

Still, no complaints. Good to bet it all tonight and get the win then rest them, and possibly lose both games.

Okafor and Landry were really battling in the paint. Made Love's numbers even more impressive.

to be fair, all they had to do was sneeze on us and we got the foul call.

The Hornets got some questionable calls going their way too. One where the defender barrelled into Love and knocked him over and they called a jump ball and the clear goaltend at a critical stage that wasn't called.

Oh, those refs were just putrid, but youre not going to convince me that we did not got most of the calls

[lewdog]

Whew, just got done watching this thing.
We just played the opposite of a moral victory.

[Calinks]

If Beasley can come back and give us 18PPG on decent scoring percentage numbers he could be looking at an extension.

Take the W and move on

Take the W and move on

exactly. You guys just can't be satisfied. The team won, now we move on and try to get a W in ATL.

That`s too much PT for Rubio. Realize it`s only one game, but minutes like that in this condensed sched`ll just kill him.

[TMo519]

So it's 2 to 2.

We are around a .285 at home if my calculations are correct.

Yeah, but you have to look at the matchups too. Our home slate includes OKC, Miami, Dallas, San Antonio, Memphis, Cleveland, and Chicago. That's basically 6 of 7 that are playoff teams. 2-5 isn't shocking with that lineup.

On the road, we've had Milwaukee, Washington, Toronto, and now New Orleans. That's one potential playoff squad in the Bucks. No doubt, a stark difference in quality between our home opponents and our road opponents.

IMO our performances at home have definitely exceed our performances on the road so far.

Take the W and move on

This.

Just some perspective: the Wolves had 2 six game losing streaks before picking up their 5th win last year. At worst, we should pick up our 5th by next Wednesday.

If Rubio hadn't played 43 minutes yesterday we would've lost that game. We can still rest him once we are down 20 in Atlanta today. (I can totally see that comin)

Exactly. Load up min for RR and Love in winnable games and reduce them if we're getting blown out against good or great teams.

[Piecake]

Rubio hasnt been playing so hot the last 5 minutes or so. Might be tired...

woops, wrogn thread. lol
