WOW. Great way to lose a game. Love should be at the line with 3 easy free throws to win it right now.

Refs are terrible. I thought rubio was shooting too on the last foul

It would have been two, but yeah, that was a horrible no call. Of course the flip side is if they hadn't been so f'n lousy in the first half none of it would matter. Complain about the bad call at the end all they want, but they are to blame for this loss, not the refs.

Unfortunately, Cam predicted it in his thread title, as the streak continues...now it's 8 straight losses in close games.
This team isn't going anywhere until they learn how to close out a game.

I agree there is many reasons why we lost this game, but the refs took away the chance of the wolves to win. NBA is rigged

NBA should be ashamed of that no-call. Not sure where his feet were, but Love should have been at the line to tie/win the game. Definite foul and a costly one.
We needed this one to make up the Lakers game in my prediction, but I previously picked Dallas to win tonight. Should we have won tonight, yes. I thought we had a good chance to, but it's also tough to win three straight against a good team--a well-coached team. They'll make adjustments.
Have to beat the Pelicans to start off 2014.

He had a toe on the line, so he should have been awarded two free throws.
We're now 2-1 in this easy stretch of 13 games. I had us going 10-3 or 9-4, both of which get us above .500, but this one really hurt because it was against our closest rival for the 8th seed. We would have gained a full game on them in one fell swoop. They just didn't come out of the gates with enough defensive intensity and then the bench was just awful again.

Love called out the bench for scoring just 5 points tonight. "We need to get our bench going. 5 points is not OK."
Also said, "I'm the type of person that if you see an obvious foul, you call it. And that was pretty, pretty obvious."

Adelman said he kept Rubio on bench too long in 4th. "Probably. I think I maybe should've gone a little earlier with him."
No shit, Rick. When is he gonna learn? This is the third time this year that we've lost a close game because Rick kept Rubio on the bench too long down the 4th quarter stretch. Inexcusable.
