Mavs vs. Wolves...really? Come on...Dieng vs. Dalembert GDT

I don't mean to be a downer after such a great finish, but if the Suns can't finish off the Magic tonight, my model has us in the David Kahn stinkhole...no playoffs, no Stauskas/McDermott


GO SUNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know what is really apparent? Pek is expendable. Dieng can become our guy, no question

its been two games! jeez. There isn't even a scouting report on deing yet.

What a game! Still collecting myself--I have a huge bet that the Wolves will finish .500 this year--I needed this one like a crackhead needs a fix.

At least for a night, Rubio was a SUPERSTAR

martin just totally avoided the ball there.

Yes. I've pointed that out in multiple game reports. You really notice when you watch him play live. He plays scared and runs from the action

I know lip. The play at the end where love was at the elbow and rubio went to the corner and give martin a screen for martin to turn and receive a handoff from love, what martin did instead was he stop and instead rubio has to turn and get the handoff from love when he had just set a screen for martin to do just that.

anyway it was a good win. Was i happy that we needed ot to beat them after blowing another big lead? no, but as a basketball fan, that was a fun game to watch. Glas we won this one. Rubio was fantastic and love came through in the end.

Ugh... not this shit again...

We really don't miss him that much

I agree, Cool. We didn't miss Pek much when he was out before and we didn't miss him much tonight.

Yeah, exactly Lip. It really doesn't have much to do with Dieng, it's how we play with and without Pek. There really isn't much difference.

I got em at 44 wins now, misty, so tonight gave you a little cushion. What helps your bet also is Rick seems to have woken up and said to himself "Hey, Bud's not playing well"!

[Lipoli390]

Wow. Great win. How can you not love the 2some of Love and Ricky. They showed all of their potential tonight. Strip in down to the bones this offseason and fill in the blanks with athletes. Go Wolves.

I agree Doper. I still believe this twosome can be special down the road. It's up to our front office.

Or you can look at it that we beat the 8th seeded Mavs in OT by one despite Rubio having an unbelievable triple double in 700 minutes, Love having 35 and Dirk having a terrible second half

True, because most of our wins without Pek were with Ronny playing center.

That said, I like the potential of Dieng though. Not many guys have put up double doubles in their first two NBA starts.
