    Time for Aldridge to make Love his bitch. Time for Aldridge to prove who is the best PF in the game!

    LMA doesn't have to prove anything, IMO. Our record speaks for him.

    Killard didn't have to prove anything about Krye either, but he did.

    I agree, but it's the late game heroics and individual MVP-like performances that make for great stories. And stories are where Legends are made. (Insert The Hobbit sound track?)

    This is going to be a shoot out. The guy I fear the most from their lineup is Barea. I would make every young PG watch film on that little Nat, so they can emulate how he is able to score inside against players a foot taller, and much more athletic than him.

    Oh god... I forgot about him. Reminds me of Dragic a little bit. I say we let Rubio get his 15 for a career high and keep him in the game. :lol:

    I think they know that after tomorrow's game they only play 1 game in the next week. So mentally they should be going all out tomorrow. They will get their rest after this game. One more guys!

    Rotowire STATUS: Day-to-day

    Martin (knee) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against Portland, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. "It's something I've got to get right," he said after Monday's game. "I don't know. It's hard to tell. There's a lot of pain in the knee. It's time I've got to get it right." (about 2 hours ago)

    Agree with the sentiment, but will be perfectly happy with a win by any margin!

    Id love it if Martin wasn't in. I just have a feeling he'd torch us. And if I'm remembering their roster, that leaves Love as the only real 3 pt threat, so we could collapse a bit and/or double Love as much as we can.

    I can't remember if JJ is a good 3 guy... but I'm looking at the roster and there is really no one that jumps out.

    Dante Cunningham

    Minnesota F Dante Cunningham needed to be helped from the court after he was fouled by Sullinger with just less than four minutes remaining in the game.

    Rotowire STATUS
    Day-to-day Cunningham left Monday's [fixed a typo that said Tuesday] game against Boston with an injured left ankle in the fourth quarter, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. "I'm sure he's going to be out," head coach Rick Adelman said. "Someone else is going to have to step up. We have great experience with that." (about 6 hours ago)


    Basically Minnesota's version of Batum (Martin) and Freeland (Cunningham) will likely not play tonight. Could be fun. It means Love will be jacking up more shots. Great time for LA to get his blocked shot average on the season to 1 per game.

    I can't stand JJ Barea. He's such an annoying little shit. He and Rubio are like little rodents you have to chase around the court with a broom.

    It will be interesting to see Love try to throw touch down passes over a very long Portland team.

    I'm so loving the thought of the Blazers players checking out their iPads on how to play these guys. Not like this is news, but Portland is perfect against sub .500 teams, and the Twolves are exactly that. I sense a blow out if Portland gets any kind of lead by the half.
