    I guess I couldn't tell he was in the game on the crappy streams i'm watching the games on. I also just like to point out that he went from a legitimate up and comer in the 09 playoffs after playing great against both us and the lakers and barely 4 years later he is barely getting any minutes.

    They didn't have Westbrook a top 10-15 player in this league when the Wolves beat them. You can hang your hat on that win if you want but its pretty much the same as someone bragging about beating the Wolves if they didn't have Love.

    What did Memphis gain by giving up Wroten? Nice triple double.

    I don't make bets. Over three years without placing a bet.

    Rubio < Westbrook
    Martin > Sefolosha
    Brewer << Durant
    Love >> Ibaka
    Pek > Perkins

    Bench is a wash.

    Coaching goes to Minnesota.

    OKC is not that much better if at all.

    Agreed. And Rubio can do things Westbrook can't. They're apples and oranges. I wouldn't say Westbrook is actually better.

    I'm a huge Westbrook fan so I think he is. Now, if Rubio is scoring close to as efficient as he did tonight, he may have the edge (or equal).

    You can look at your team and say everything you want but its the same as Indiana saying they were better then the Heat. When you don't' have the best player on the floor your at a disadvantage in today's NBA and if your not the heat then you don't have the best player on the floor when Durant steps onto it.
    I really hate OKC and would rather have the Wolves win the division then the Thunder again but I can't put any team over them in the NW division while they still have Westbrook and Durant.

    You mean the fact that the Wolves are 5th in defensive efficiency this season?

    And that doesn't even count tonight.

    Hickson, in 17 minutes, 3-11, 6 points, 8 rebounds. Wow we dodged a bullet.

    I would hope, that since he has an obviously pro Minnesota name, he's not just trolling. But I've wrong once before.








    once.

    Thats impressive as two of your starters (love/Martin) arent' considered very good at D and ones D has been a running joke for years (Martins).

    Asik played 4 mins tonight total. In a game that went to OT. They started Terrence Jones at PF who had a double double in 37mins. Dwight played 42.

    Deal coming soon???

    I know Robin's playing well and we're gelling right now, but i still wanna keep an eye out. If we can swing a Wes + Meyers for Asik deal (or similar), I'd give it some serious thought.

    With hope good Lopez is playing i'd rather stick with Lopez then trade away our starting 2 guard for a guy who could very well just be the backup to our starting center.
