    Their back up center has been out as well and Beasley has missed some games. Love's been playing a lot of Center lately.

    Sounds familiar. Good coaches find a way to win through a few injuries. Washed up coaches fight it out with an obviously tanking Blazers team for lottery position.

    What, is Minnesota suddenly in the playoffs? Three straight years for Adelman. Pressure is going to be on next year, if he can't keep Love and Barea from punching each other.

    Jordan punched Kerr.

    Love's got 42 pts, 15rebs, 4 asts tonight. But, he does have 2 TO's so that negates all of those stats.

    Stat padder!!!

    Love is a stat beast. I've always said that is the case. He's a freak in terms of stats. He did let Dante Cunningham go for 13/14/4 blocks last night in a must-win for Minny, but hey, he got his 28/11/4 blocks!

    Are you really comparing Love to Jordan? LMAO

    I watched the game. Cunninham played the 3, Speights and Randolph were playing the 4.

    Update, he had 40 and 19 tonight.

    He's dominated Aldridge this year for the average of 35/15 or something in 3 must win games for the Blazers. Stat padder!!!!!

    Derrrppp!

    Well, you can keep rooting for Minny to get more ping pong balls, and I'll keep rooting for Portland to get more ping pong balls.

    How about the Knicks winning two straight without Lin and Stoudemire.

    D'Antoni was just horrible.

    Yea he dominated LA with LA getting taken out of the games for ticky tack fouls while trying to guard Love every time. You could say Love is savy but the refs treat him like the next coming of MJ. Love puts up stats and is basically carrying the wolves, and im impressed with his improvement on D (which is still bad but no longer couldnt guard a cardboard box more like zbo bad now) I cant help but wonder if they can keep it up next year. The wolves are a team that is perfect for this short season, much like the jazz, but when they lose the advantage of young legs and teams can practice and prepare better we'll see if they are for real or just an abnormality caused by this short and condensed season.

    I'm not sure what you're trying to do (other than annoy PapaG) by posting sarcastic comments after every good Love game. Perhaps you should go to a Timberwolves forum?

    My comments aren't sarcastic.

    Kevin Love is a stat padder!

    I'm Delusional because I associate their success with the fact they are young and can handle this season better then most teams? At the moment the wolves aren't even in the playoffs and they are young, there legs can handle this season a lot better then most teams and that shows in the way they play. They come out with energy every game, you don't notice that with a lot of teams this season.
    If thats not the part i'm delusional about please explain.

    Delusional in that you think Love gets to the line because the refs help him there. He cuts to the basket, works harder than his opponent and simply knows how to draw the foul.

    Great teams in this league have more than one star player (with the exception of the Bulls).

    Watch him play. He's the hardest worker in the NBA. Brings his lunchpail every game.
