Agree. Given every opportunity and has maybe a handful of average games to show for it.

I feel like the wolves are back. Close loss to the best team in the west, crushing victory against the former 8 seed in the west. And we're rolling.

Yeah, they seem to have their energy back. I think they are past the grieving stage for Rubio and are moving on. If they could just get past the injury bug...

Beasley/Williams have to step up to make the playoffs, we can't count on consistent big games from guys like Ridnour/Barea/Ellington/Tolliver

I really dislike kids day games.


Anyways, great win. That's as easy of a win we're going to get. Everyone stepped up....besides that one guy that nobody notices.

yeah great win, especially since it's against the nuggets with the whole "biggest let down of the season" game against them last time and obviously the playoff chase...klove - freak, great ball movement and unselfishness...one of those games where everything flows organically and passing becomes infectious...great job, now lets get pek back healthy and make the west sweat in the last leg of the season!!

For the amount of time that Wes disappears I'd think he's in possession of Sauron's One Ring.

Kevin Love never ceases to amaze me. He backs up his 50 point game with a 30-20 game and all up he's played almost 100 minutes of basketball in the last 2 games alone... I think I might take up yoga too.

Ball movement was great tonight. I think Barea being out had a lot to do with that, EVEN THOUGH Barea has been better with that at times the last two games.

I think that it's really cool that love does yoga. And the more I think about it the more I think that yoga is really beneficial to a basketball player. Flexibility prevents injuries and helps you move more fluidly.

Pek should get into yoga, now that would be something to see.

I'm not a yoga fan, but Pilates is a good exercise.

Love should run team yoga classes during the summer, the coaches could get involved too. I'd imagine Adelman might take some convincing, though.

Kevin Love is a genuine superstar.

With Rubio, Pekovic and hopefully a starting calibre (we don't need anything more) wing player and we will be a contender.
"That's why the last two years weren't guaranteed," Walsh said. "Either way, he knew it could have happened either way."

We need to continue the international flavor so we should get someone from Asia or Africa.

well we'll be adding some oceania next year when we get stephen adams in the draft(not with our pick cause we'll be in the playoffs)...if there's one thing this team needs, it's some kiwi flavour
