Love: 9/26, 2/11 from 3. Yuck.
Pek: 6/15. Yuck.
Brewer: 1/8. Yuck.
Rubio: 2/12. Yuck.

We can't beat anybody playing like that.

Bad, bad loss. We simply can't afford to keep losing games against weaker opponents.

true. good team's starters don't shoot 19-65. It just doesn't happen to good teams

Good team's starters have off nights, markkbu. Check out the Pacers on 11/6 or the Clippers on 12/7. Or OKC against us (a "bad" team) on 11/1. Terrible shooting. Shit happens.

Everyone's a little too down about this loss, I think. It was a classic trap game, and I just didn't feel good about it when I looked at the schedule. If Martin can play, we bounce back big on Wednesday.

One team went into the game in a full blown rebuild. The other team went into the game deceiving themselves into thinking they aren't also. Blow it up.

Assuming Cunningham is out for a few games, we should fully expect to see more Dieng, something most fans have been calling for. I didn't see the game tonight, but it appears he did OK-ish while thrown into the heat of battle.

It's games like this that make me want Jabari Parker on this team... no matter the cost.

Well, the silver lining is that there's always a chance to move up in the lottery if they miss the playoffs.

Oh... wait...

If I'm not mistaken, we'd still have our lottery pick if we miss playoffs this year. So we could, in theory, move up in the lottery. Doubt anyone's going to trade a top-2 pick, though. :(

Wolves looked again like a lottery team tonight. Our biggest weakness is our bench, but tonight highlighted the fundamental weakness in our starting lineup -- i.e., reliance on jump shots. Pek is the only exception, but getting him the ball in the small zone where he can score is a challenge and Pek then misses too many bunnies. His missed dunk tonight was pathetic. I also thought our lack of athleticism was painfully evident tonight.
