That inbound play was Rambis-esque.

"The greatest trick Telly ever pulled was getting Kahn to sign JJ Barea."

Ahhh Barea, he's part of the reason we get into games we seemingly cant win, yet he misses those last shots every time. He has got to be this years ultimate troll lol.

I knew we didn't have enough to pull through. Too bad that big run went to waste.

That's what I always seem to notice. He has stretches where I think "yeah, this guy's good, he can help us win games". But by the end he ends up dribbling the clock out and taking a wild stupid shot.

The only thing he's consistent with are his turnovers.

This is what Kahn has to look at.

This is the real Barea. Against every team in the playoffs last year, Barea was a backup and a starter, yet in both cases he never played the last four minutes of any game as I recall. Against Portland, against the Thunder, and against the Heat.

Only time he played the entire 4th quarter was in game 4 against the Lakers, a team he entirely owned, and the game was already a blowout anyway. Barea's good, he just has to be used right by can. He's not a crunch time player.

Had to listen to the 4th quarter on my drive home from Twins game. I thought I was listening to a 2k broadcast when I heard AR stat line. Sucks we couldn't finish this one out but proud of our guys stepping up and coming back from what appeared to be another +20 point blowout.

Nice effort tonight, I stopped watching after the 2nd quarter for really the first time all season and then came back and saw the final 3 mins.

"That's how you have to play," Adelman said about the energy and effort his team found in the second half. "We've been talking about that forever."

Randolph has been a fixture on the Wolves' bench most of the season. But he produced a big night after Love went down injured.

"Oh, one name: Anthony Randolph," Barea said when asked about the Wolves' comeback. "He gave us what we needed for a while now: Somebody to come in with some energy, block shots, rebound, play hard, hit people, finish at the other end. He did it all. That's something we've been missing for a while. He hasn't been playing all year and he stepped up big today. Good for him."

McGee should be banned from basketball for life because of his stupidity.

Why does Anthony Randolph always do this? He is the epitome of an all or nothing guy it feels like. He'll either give you 25 and 8, or he'll give you 3 and 2. I understand minutes are needed and everything, but I gotta believe the inconsistency is all over his practicing as well, which is why it's hard for coaches to trust him out there.

And might as well have Love get hurt, everyone else has this year.
