Wolves vs Nuggets GDT: F***, Ty Lawson is back from injury

[Papalrep]

Budinger's a superstar - this may be a tad over the top. Oh well, a win's a win. God Almighty if they had lost tonight that would have been bad.

Butt ugly finish but at the end of the day it's a HUGE 4-1 road trip and now it's time to do work at home. We still in this fellas...

[Camden [enjin:6601484]]

Ronny Turiaf is more valuable than Pekovic...

[Mstermisty [enjin:6864008]]

One other thought:

The Wolves finish to that game is a lot like listening to Quincy Lewis analyze basketball: incredibly uncomfortable and you're just praying he/they get to the end.

[Camden [enjin:6601484]]

Should be 4 1/2 games back of Phoenix and Golden State after they both lose tomorrow. We've won six of our last seven. Keep it going guys! We get to face a shitty Knicks team Wednesday.

LMFAO

The fact is we need both Pekovic and Turiaf. We really could have used Turiaf (or even a bit more Dieng) tonight to protect the paint in the 2nd half. We were literally helpless in the 3rd quarter when Ty Lawson started running pick and roll. Love just doesn't have the length to recover and either challenge the jump shot or get back in time to the roller (Faried in this case).

I'd be all for sprinkling in a bit more time for Dieng in place of Cunningham. I really think this kid will be a game-changer defensively some day, and he's not far from it right now. You simply can't guard these quick PGs like Lawson, Isiah Thomas, etc. without bigs that can hedge and either challenge the mid-range jumper or recover back to their man to protect the rim.

I love me some Ronny. I think he was a terrific signing by Flip and one that I didn't expect to be so effective. As a defensive/rebounding big off the bench, he's big time for us. I was just poking more fun at a comment from "crazysauce" where he said Turiaf was more valuable than Pekovic.

Wait, wait. As dumb as it sounds, you'd think the explanation was even better. Nope. Just as piss-poor.

Understood Cam, it's just silly. I've given Flip a hard time, but I think the Turiaf signing and Dieng pick were two good moves. Both are just perfect compliments to Pek and Love because they offer some length and shot blocking. And I really do believe Dieng could be a force some day. It's just too bad Turiaf has been hurt so much and Adelman is bringing Dieng along so slowly.
