    The good news is that Afflalo filled in well to replace Wes' shooting.

    I don't remember the situation, but we would have been down by 2 a couple of occasions.

    Oh well next time we see them like I said maybe the refs will give us all the calls all night and our clock operators will help us out. Did we lose? Yeah, but we got fucked all night by outside sources.

    Grrr... couldn't take advantage of a Memphis loss. Not the worst thing in the world, but damn.

    Like I said. Minny made some shots they don't usually make. Like Rubio's 3 and Neal went off. This is an adjustment period too. The team hasn't played without Wes in two years. Win on Wednesday and I won't complain. I thought Afflalo did a good job. Can't win them all.

    I don't even want the second seed. I will take Clippers, Mavericks or Houston any day over fucking Spurs and the oklahoma Chuckbrooks.

    Batum 4 points in that second half. 2 assists in the second half. and, If I'm reading it correctly, 2 rebounds in the second half.

    Good first half, though.

    It's a little bit of an excuse. The guys have Wes alongside the, for over 170 games I believe. Must have felt weird out there.

    Rubio, Wiggins, Martin and Neal lit up the court all night. Credit to the Wolves. They out right beat the good guys! Get the next one! Go Blazers!

    Mavs will be 7 seed. If we are 3 seed, we will likely play Spurs.

    Perhaps it's a game of Keep Away. Keep away from Spurs and Thunder.

    Spurs will likely be 6 seed. They are heating up and Dallas is in tailspin.

    Tone said it all..the defensive captain was always Wes and our defense was not crisp as a unit. It'll get better.

    I'm interested in hearing people's opinions as to how we gave up 121 points to a team who averages 97.6 points per game (by coincidence we normally hold teams to 97 points).

    You don't score 23.4 more points than your average by just having a lucky shooting night.

    What do people think we were doing/not doing that allowed this?
