    dante not off to a good start for charlotte. first 2 games 1-8 with zero rebounds in 18 minutes.

    but it's probably hard to motivate yourself

    Wow, people sure go out of their way to bash Kevin Love. It was actually pretty smart basketball. Detroit was fouling for a reason - to stop the clock and hope Minnesota misses some FTs. Minnesota had the following 5 players on the court at the time:

    Code:
    Kevin Love       Total FTA = 430  FT% = 0.867
    Lazar Harward    Total FTA =  24  FT% = 0.833
    Jonny Flynn      Total FTA =  22  FT% = 0.818
    Anthony Tolliver Total FTA =  82  FT% = 0.805
    Wesley Johnson   Total FTA =  67  FT% = 0.657
    So Love haters, you tell me, of those five players, which one would you want shooting FTs to ice the game with the other team intentionally fouling to stop the clock?

    Seems pretty obvious to me. Love is, by far, the most experienced FT shooter of those five (I mean, seriously, he's shot 2.5x as many FTs as the other four combined), and he shoots the highest percentage.

    Hate on, haters.

    I feel bad for Cunningham. Because of our injuries, he had carved out a nice role for himself here. Now that he's left Portland, I bet his career ends soon. Sad.

    Nate knows how to get the best out of his players, and puts them in roles where they can succeed.

    I'm not sure who has the least sense of humor in this thread.

    Zags or Boob-No-More.

    I have to go with Boob. Zags, you win this one. Only Boob would make a fucking paragraph defending KLove with linked stats to answer a throwaway joke about Kevin Love from another board.

    Imagine Boob at a party. He has to be an engineer of some sort.

    We aren't catching Denver. Root against suns, grizz, rockets, hornets and jazz

    Crazy game in London. Triple OT, and Travis Outlaw drops the last 8 points for the Nets to push them to victory over Toronto.

    Final score: 137-136

    Trout has something against Toronto. Remember when he had a 4 points play to send a game to overtime when Moon fouled him 2 - 3 years ago?

    Come on Thunder. Going into OT against the Suns at home? Hopefully they can pull it off here.

    I can't decide if that helps or hurts the Sun's chances ...

    Great shot. The West is wide open. If the Blazers can figure out how to play defense with all of their parts, they will be dangerous if they make the playoffs.
