Courtney Lee's continued to be awesome for the Grizzlies. We shit the bed not going after him. He would have been perfect for this team, in my opinion.

If only we had something on our roster other teams want. How about a whiny midget? How about a 12 jumpshot specialist who doesn't play D? How about an oversized PG who shoots in the 30s for FG%, and leaves his feet every time he passes?

Our only asset was Williams because he had size, youth and athletic ability. And we blew our wad getting rid of him too early. I am afraid we won't be able to do jack squat without making the same mistake and trading Muhammed too early as well. I really want to believe but it is tough to think we can acquire anything of value to our roster at this point.

Well, I was ready to trade D-Will for Lee actually. Unfortunately Flip doesn't read these threads. Ugh.

I wasn't sure who you were referring to for a second there!

You know I was thinking that when I wrote it. Which PG that shots in the 30s? Oh to be a Minnesota sports fan.

Pretty good performance by the bench tonight......Damn shame the starters couldn't hold it together.

Bench played well last night. I don't think that many would have expected that tehy would have kept is as close as long as they did.

And the bench costs us another game.

I am not sure if we should blame the bench or the lineup of guys Adleman continues to throw out there. How does anyone expect Luc, DC, Brewer, Bud and JJ to score points, and even worse, defend. Is the dementia kicking in?

The wolves seem to play pretty well with Dieng or Turiaf on the floor, but I don't think either of them got on the floor in the 4th quarter. I realize our HOF coach doesn't realize that preventing a basket is just as valuable as scoring one, but is it too much to ask for him to remember what happened a few minutes earlier. We gave up 25,17, and 19 pts respectively through 3 quarters. Then he falls in love with the small front court again, and we give up 37 in the 4th.

Ya.....they played like crap last night. It is hard to makeup for JJ's poor play with 4 TOs and 0 Assist. If that is the best that our backup PG can do......We just need to remove him.
