How did the Maxiell FT reaction sound on TV? The crowd went crazy live, and he got razzed every FT after. It was hilarious.

I wasn't really able to follow the crowds reaction because I was lmao.

Such a damn shame I had to go to bed after 3 quarters.

Kevin love threw on street clothes and went back to sit with some fans at 21 seconds, apparently.

I have to tip my hat to Ellington ... he is re-establishing himself as a valid NBA player. I gotta believe Adelman is pleased to have him showing signs on both ends of the foor.
Tolliver knows his role ... the guy does not get caught taking plays off.
Pek gets hosed on some calls - No doubt he is held to a different standard. He does dumb stuff too, but some of these calls are rediculous.
Darko is in shambles ... I thought AR did okay early last night, but got little time.
Team defense starts on top with how guys like Rube and Ellington work. Love continues to beast in a relentless way on the boards ... effort, that's all it is ... been waiting for years to just see a team that can find a rotation of players with desire.
I'd go as far as to say he might be establishing himself as a legitimate member of an NBA rotation for the first time. The last 3-4 games he's been showing a glimpse of the guy named Final Four MOP in 2009.
I would never have predicted it. He always seemed a little deer in the headlights to me, the past few games he's looked confident, aggressive and opportunistic. Not just with his shot either, he's actually working on the defensive end as well. If he establishes himself as a rotation quality SG, that could be a bit of a game-changer for this team.
I also have to say that I enjoyed watching Wes play basketball last game. It sucked to watch Monroe at the same time, but I can probably count on one hand the number of times I've been able to say that about Wes, so I feel obligated to mention it. Hopefully the last couple games are a sign that he's realized having long arms and a good vertical are traits that should be put to use around the basket more often.
"A while back,'' Cardinal said, "I took a picture of the standings and texted it to Love, just to bust his chops,'' Cardinal said. "He sent me a picture back of a snowdrift.''

If he keeps playing that level on offense, he deserves the spot. This team needs two defensive players in the backcourt.

Re: Pistons(3-11) @ Wolves(5-8)
Do you think we could get anything on return for Darko? I already prefer having Pekovic on the floor, and Miller will be back soon.
All Pekovic needs to do is start screaming and floping when he gets fouled, and cut those stupid offensive fouls. Seriously, he should not be playing the Pick n Roll. Also, if he just loss 20lbs, he would be soo much better...

Timberwolves Rankings
Hey I will be ranking the Timberwolves players on each game.
To start it off I will rank them from their last game against the Pistons.
1. Who else but Kevin Love? 20 and 17 what more can you ask for.
2. Wesley Johnson: Nice to see him score some this game with 11 points. Shot pretty well and listened to Adelman and instead of heaving up the three ball he drove a bit.
3. Nikola Pekovic: Playing very well when he gets the time to play. 11 points but 4 fouls in just 23 minutes. He also had a +/- of +15 this game which is very impressive.
4. Ricky Rubio: Did not have a very good shooting night but still managed to put stats up and make a difference in the game. 9 points along with 6 steals. Very good to see him contribute as well on the defensive end.
5. Anthony Tolliver: A solid 11 points this game and nice to see him play some solid D with 2 steals and a blocked shot.
6. Derrick Williams: Not a great shooting night but contributed a solid 8 points in just 15 minutes.
7. Wayne Ellington: Had 7 points on 1 of 1 from 3 point range. Also was +7 in +/-
8. J.J Barea: Had 8 points but didn't do much else. Also had 2 TO's.
9. Luke Ridnour: Has been playing very well recently but just contributed 7 points and 2 assists in this game.
10. Anthony Randolph: Just one point in 5 minutes however had a +/- of -8.
11. Darko Milicic: Just 7 minutes and no points. 1 rebound and 1 foul.
Thanks guys any comments are appreciated.
