kevin love was 11-27 from the field. he is the PF version of damian lillard.

No Lillard is actually clutch.

Good comeback win.

I think the difficulty of coming back to beat a team on the road is very underrated.

PJ tucker was beyond huge in this comeback.
I hope we can retain him but something tells me a guy with his story bouncing around from country to country that he's going to take whatever deal gets him overpaid.

Gentry found a Gem IMO.

A's over Royals. Lester and experience will prove that he's worth the trade.

Tigers winning it all. Tigers are, imo, peaking at the right time.

It was actually Majerle who "discovered" PJ.

Love carried the team for 3 quarters, was absolutely unstoppable, and had 36 points, 14 rebounds, and 9 assists. He only finally started missing when we doubled him and made the other guys throw up bricks.

Love certainly puts up fantastic numbers but I believe that the Timberwolves win/loss record is no better with him or without him over the past 3 years. He appears to be the perfect guy for any team but why do they not win more?

His supporting cast is really not that bad. I doubt Adelman will be back next season. If I were the owner I am sure he would not be back.

Watched this game on TD, but I thought we'd at least make a game out of it. Great win, we seem destined to make the playoffs even after everyone gave up on them.

I hope Bledsoe recovers his 3pt shooting stroke soon. He's shooting 20% from 3 since returning to the lineup.

Does his game remind anyone of Tony Parker? Early on Tony was not a good jump shooter he but could get to the rim on anyone. That is what Bledsoe does as well as anyone, get to the rim. Once he gets a consistent jumper and makes better passes around the hoop to players that can catch, he could be real special. In addition he ain't to bad now and does not seem overly impressed with himself. Not much not to like.

The thing that excites me most is his relationship with Goran. They appear to really like each other. These two guys could be really fun to watch going forward.

So Dragic is our "Ginobili", Bledsoe is our "Parker", Frye is our "Bonner", and Tucker is our "Leonard".....now we just need to find ourselves a "Duncan" and we are set to go! :D

But yes, I do see the similarities between Bledsoe and Parker though I think Parker had some more Bball IQ from playing in Euro and Bledsoe has more athleticism. But just straight skill set wise, I think that's a good comparison.

So bummed I missed the game, and forgot to record it, because it was a local game for me. But moving took over my life for the last few days. :(
