Games not over yet, but I see three positives:

1) Love's unbelievable game, especially on a bad ankle

2) Rubio

3) Bud went 1 for 3, so his FG% will go up!

Damn it man. That was a killer.

Shved ruined the comeback.

41 and 18 for Love. Pretty much took what Pek was averaging and put it on his back. Still couldn't win. Jesus.

Really dumb play. And the worst part is Adelman is thinking to himself right now "See, that's why I need JJ at the end of games".

Have we ever won a game when Love scored more than 40?

Dominique is talking about how Brewer's dumb foul at the end of first half changed the game...I kind of gotta agree with him.

He's probably still pissed JJ got ejected and made him put Rubio in the game during the fourth quarter. I'd like to know why Martin was on the bench..?

I don't know, cam...he was scoring, but not efficiently. I'm down on Martin right now. His body language makes me thing he's checked out.

When needing three-pointers, it just makes more sense to have Martin in the game instead of Shved. Even a cold Kevin Martin is more prone to hit than a regular Shved. Just scratching my head on that one.

By the way, happy birthday K-Mart!

Jim Pete read my mind when he said that sometimes Love must feel he's out there by himself. My take-aways from tonight:

1. Love is a great player. Nothing knew there. As I mentioned in my game report last night, it's a pleasure and a privilege watching him play in a Wolves uniform.

2. Ricky makes everyone on his team MUCH better on the offensive end when he's on the floor. He also gets big rebounds and defends his position as well as anyone in the League. He's a difference-maker and there's no excuse for not playing him in the 4th quarter of close games. You could see tonight that the Wolves wold have probably won the game last night if Ricky had been in the game instead of JJ down the stretch. And we might have won tonight if Ricky had been in the game instead of JJ shortly BEFORE JJ got thrown out. JJ was ok tonight, but Adelman was too slow on the trigger to get Ricky back in the game.

3. Brewer leaking out instead of staying home and rebounding hurt us tonight and has hurt us before.

4. Wish we had DeMarre Carroll instead of Brewer. Better player at half the price. I recall wanting to sign DeMarre rather than Corey.
