The Knicks gave that game to the Wolves in the 4th quarter. Granted, the Wolves play some of the best 4th quarter defense in the NBA, but that shit's no good when even Kevin Love is missing layups. Execute, execute, execute on offense. Foul shooting does not a win make especially in the 4th quarter.
At least we shut down Lin in the 2nd half.
Complaining about a guy who had a 30/20 game?
Jesus. Kevin Love is the last thing Wolves fans should be complaining about.

Lolwut? I'm not complaining about Kevin Love. It's just the most particular 4th quarter screwup on offense by the Wolves that came to mind (besides Rubio and Barea juggling the ball around on the perimeter like a bunch of clowns during the final shot, which never happened).
The fact is the entire team went cold in the 4th. A bunch of guys missed important shots that they shouldn't have. It's completely fair to criticize the team's endgame execution.
Eh, whatever. It's just really disappointing. The Wolves are getting a lot better, but right now they're in that delicate zone where they either take the next step or they just sort of cruise on this quest to stay at or above .500 for more than one game. Right now they're in a slump but only 2 games below .500. Considering where they came from in all past years, I will absolutely take that.

Kind of a Kobe moment for Dirk. Have a bad shooting game and miss the game winner twice but hit the key shot near the end of the second overtime and all is great.

Yeah I'm sorry he had a below average game against a premier defender. :-)

They need this year to learn how to win close games. You have a lot to be excited about.
The more I watch the Thunder, the more I miss Eric Maynor. The second unit doesn't run as smoothly without him. Reggie Jackson is going to be a good player, but we really need a steadier influence. He'll be better by playoff time but it could definitely bite us in the ass. I wouldn't be opposed to making a move for a veteran backup.
It's being reported that Seattle is going to make a play for the Kings. Maybe KC can get the Hornets, rename them the Kings and order will be restored :-)

doubt it, i mean anything can happen, but they want to keep the hornets in N.O and any owner that buys the team will have to keep them there it will be in the contract.
I dont see why N.0 should keep them if they are having trouble staying afloat. Go where they will make money not lose.
