    Funny, because Tyrus Thomas put up 21/11 off of the bench for the Bobbers. ;)

    No, I was watching the Blazer game, as I'm sure most Blazer fans were.

    Random stat.

    LMA has 64 dunks this season.

    Kevin Love has 9 dunks this season.

    Clearly the Wolves would be much better if they didn't have him.

    It would be hard to be a worse team without him.

    So what you're saying is they'd be basically the same team if Beasley and Tolliver formed their starting front-court?



    Wow.

    I was too. Not sure why you brought up Thomas' stats.

    Well, they could have 7 wins like Sacramento or 8 wins like Washington and Cleveland.

    The thing about this Wolves team is that they don't know how to finish games out. Like Greg Anthony always says on GameTime, they could be in the playoff race if they ended games after 3 quarters.

    Not finishing out games is clearly a sign of a lack of depth and the youngest team in the league.

    Tyrus Thomas isn't that bad, he just doesn't play enough minutes to merit more praise.

    Like most young players he was held back by Larry Brown. Funny that Augustine and Thomas both have made great strides since Silas was hired.

    I'd argue that it is a sign of not having a player who demands double-teams inside on offense. I also feel bad for Beasely, since he has to cover Love's assignment for much of the game. Love should have apologized for that when he played in Portland last month. Instead, he went on KGW and said he didn't have a "Kevin Love" game.

    He needs to grow up and realize he is not a franchise player.

    Turiaf was just congratulating him, like a teammate. Shouldn't have been a technical.

    As Marks secures a job for the rest of the year, other players were not so fortunate.

    Of note: Brian Skinner, Steve Novak, Rodney Carney and Ime Udoka :( were waived.

    Carney surprises me . . . I wish there was a big man "Rodney Carney" that was waived
