SIXERS @ WOLVES 6PM CST..Quest for .500 (again)

[thinktank]

When Beasley is inefficient on offense, he's totally worthless.

Hes been much better on defense and with keeping the ball moving

I agree with the ball movement part. Used to, when he'd catch the ball, it'd never get passed again. He's a little better in that aspect. But he still has too many lapses on defense. For the past couple of games, he's gotten his regular 8 or so mins in the first half, but then barely played in the second.

I disagree with you about his defensive "lapses".


Any lack of time for Beasley right now is not due to his quality of play. Our team is playing very well right now. Beasley is contributing in a variety of ways when he gets the chance. Frankly, I'm pleasantly surprised in Beasley's recent play.

Bittersweet. I hate last second calls. Love driving wildly to the hoop is not a good last second play call IMO unless you're banking on the foul, which isn't a very respectable strategy. I hated Lin's free throws against us last week so much that I can't even enjoy this.

I was totally surprised they made that call. I mean, I know the refs are going to call that 9 times out of 10. But just the fact that our Minnesota Timberwolves actually got that call was a big moment for me.

There was no foul at the end. The freeze frame shows it. As a ref, you better be sure before making that call with a second left. Garbage.

^^Like I've said before, if you reach across a guy's body like Iggy did, you are more than likely going to get a foul call even if it was all ball. Refs don't have freeze frame vision so what do you expect? It's really difficult to reach like that and not foul, that's why they call it a high majority of the time.

you can't play defense with your hands, especially at the end of game situation like that....refs rely on perception more than what actually happens half the time, thus forcing a foul call...so glad klove didn't settle for an outside shot.

you let the players decide games, not the refs. i'm still sour about this one. absolutely robbed. a foul with 0.1 seconds. that's a joke.

Kevin Love drew the foul. How is that not letting the players decide the game? If it was a touch foul on a three-pointer I might agree with you. But Love was the aggressor in drawing the foul.

So your solution is the players just grab Kevin Love, make it impossible for him to shoot, and with no foul call the game ends with Philly winning?

Your player fouled him...not lightly

Not sure why he came to the Wolves board looking for sympathy...
