    Well, the Wolves looked good tonight. I look forward to our first crack at them.

    Love was fouled on at least one other three point attempt and made 2. So out of 9 actual three point attempts, he scored 8 points. That's not horrible.

    Thinking more about it, I think he got fouled on two threes. That's how he got so many FTs. Doing what you said not to do. Plus he shot a few techs

    You aren't helping his case man. If you counted the foul as a shot made, and a shot attempted, that puts him at 3-9. Do you really want your power forward jacking up 9 threes?

    Its not like SF where the top 2 are so clearly above the rest and among the best in the league though. Love isn't that much better than LMA. And LMA isn't much better than Griffin, Bosh, Randolph, Lee. And then even after them you've still got Dirk, Millsap, Josh Smith, Anthony Davis, Ibaka, Monroe, Tristan Thompson, David West. Dwight Howard, KG and Pau are starting PFs this season. LeBron and Melo play big minutes at PF. Having the 2nd best PF in the league right now isn't that important because the elite PFs aren't in the elite of the entire NBA, plus even the 5-15th ranked PFs aren't far behind the top 5 and can definitely win a matchup with one of the top guys on a given night.

    Its just one road game. Excluding last season, when he played just 18 games, his last two seasons he shot 37% and 42% from 3. Through two games this season he was 6/13.

    I never question his willingness to be physical inside. His offensive game requires him to play outside to be the threat the Minny needs him to be. I like his aggressiveness given his role on the T'Wolves.

    It's not just that he's shooting threes, but that he shot 8 of them. That's a lot even for a guard.

    The wolves once had a coach that told him to not shoot threes, that mans name is randy wittman. Don't be like randy whitman.

    There's a difference between "not shooting threes" and "go head and bomb away."

    Love the way he plays. He is so much like Wade.

    I think he jacked up 10 actually but why the criticism? He had like 34 points 14 rebounds and beat the Knicks in MSG hitting all the big shots down the stretch to makes hs team 3-0. What's wrong with that? And like I said, he drew fouls with those threes, got the free throws you complained about and got the Knicks in foul trouble.

    Someone addressed this earlier, but I thought it needed repeating.

    Outside of Portland, Plumlee is averaging 6.5 ppg, 9 boards and shooting 46%. Not exactly great (even if you take into account his goose egg, that's why it's called average).

    Dragic has a similar stat line too. Take out Portland and his #'s are far less impressive.

    29-6-9 against Portland, shooting 57%. Outside of Portland? 7.5-3.5-2.5, shooting 35%

    Yes, sample size matters.

    Yep sample size does matter. We held Gerald Green to 5 pts, in Minnesota he had 21 and 8 rebounds. I assume the fact Green was playing so well against the Wolves, limited Goran's minutes to only 20. Or did our awesome D shut Green down?

    Long season.
