Odd for our 1st team to lose the lead

We don't have anyone on our team that can guard Randolph. Not that many teams do. But if we are really talking about Love as an improved defender that should be his matchup.

Interesting to see Hummel as first substitution at SG

I don't know it you saw the first quarter, doper, but Love defended Zach really well. In fact, he's only 4 for 13 today.

Hummel is pretty confident on that three

everytime the wolves get a somewhat nice lead the grizz make a comeback, i really dont wanna see another W get away in the 4th.

It comes and goes. Zbo had an off first quarter, but he was missing some bunnies. But he brought it in the 3rd. When Pek was guarding ZBo at the beginning of the 3rd Love had a few transition and rotation lapses which still seem to be his major defending problem. He fights hard on the ball, but still will seem to completely give up when something goes awry on offense. To be fair it isn't just Love though. For all of Ricky's great predictive steals he is late very often on rotations, which is why PGs have a bunch of wide open looks against us. We are keeping them in this game with shitty D.

Impressive to be winning with a no-show from martin.

Interesting game...........a bit closer than I would like
