With Chandler out, and Melo and Bargniani their bigs, we've got to keep pounding it down low. It might not look pretty, but it works.

Lip's "lottery bound Magic" destroyed the Nets tonight. They are back to.500 and marching towards the playoffs...

It's a game of runs, it was good to see the Wolves not allow NY to go on any long sustained runs! NY starts to inch back into the game and the Wolves push the lead back up. Now lets see the Wolves come out in the third like they did against OKC!!!

Have we had a better half in the past couple years? Pek with 11 boards is huge, as well as the fouls on chandler. We have a bunch of people scoring. it is nice to look this good.

Yep! Two nice wins and another great first half! And even the Lion is showing signs of life, who would have guessed?

I could get used to these types of half's. Hopefully our trend of blowing leads will be left in the past. Love is just a beast, I'm ashamed to admit that I forgot how good he is.

It's early (says Capt.Obvious) but yeah, this team is showing even more offense than I had anticipated and their team defense comes out of nowhere!! Is there a single player out of the main rotation guys who has been disappointing?

Great half except for that small letdown at the end...not a good decision by K-Love to try a 2 for 1. But overall, great.

Now comes a real test though, do they let the Knicks back into the game in the 3rd or do they put the hammer down and rest the starters in the 4th?

my thoughts exactly

Gotta bang them down low. When we're not running all over them. I don't like taking two 3 pointers to start the half. But I love that hustle D as I'm typing!
