    They seriously blamed the whole thing on the refs.

    That was fun to watch because we finally got to see our bench under the gun to perform. Stotts needs to play these guys so they'll develop.

    This summer Claver should put on 15 pounds of solid muscle. (Maybe he could hire our old trainer.) Claver should be converted from a natural SF to a PF, since he can't shoot. He needs to think about playing powerfully and lose his excess mobility, which impressed me a year ago, but which I now see as holding him back.

    I'm sure the refs are also responsible for all their other second half meltdowns. :lol:

    Yeah. The refs didn't get them to score 37 points in the 2nd half (only 3 more than their entire 1st quarter total).

    They shot four more free throws than us.... so I'm not sure how they can seriously justify that claim.

    Man.....the energy tonight at the game was the best it's been in a while. That second half was magical, and the one thing I'm disappointed with is T-Rob not getting subbed out near the end of the game for a standing ovation. Player of the game.

    I was calling for it! There was that time with Wes on the FT line and Adlemen already put up the white flag that he could have done it.

    He got two more rebounds after that. I bet he was glad to stay in.

    I do think they wanted to let him try to get a career high in points as well (he deserved it), so keep him in for a couple more plays to get a couple more shots.

    I know. But he already had a career high in boards... I just really wanted to see what the crowd would have done.

    LOVE that reaction on the block... you don't see that kind of fervor for a play alot anymore. It was really fun to see.

    I could see that. He did take that jumper with about 90 seconds left.

    You know it was a great team game when guys like Barton get a standing ovation. That was just awesome to watch. Blazers basketball returned in the second half tonight.

    I was at the game.

    After it was over, T-Rob had his name on the screens that go around the stadium (the ones between the 300 and 200 level). Basically he still ended up with the recognition. The fans knew it was an awesome job that he did tonight.

    The T-Wolves really hate Kevin Love. There is no chemistry at all on that squad. It is just a team of people who want to get stats and get out of there. A few years ago I remember Kevin Love discussing in an interview with Bill Simmons about how he takes rebounds away from his own teammates (and acting like this was a good thing). I am not surprised he has not made it into the post season.

    Just now watching the game. Ugly first half. Assume there is more to cheer about in second half.

    Way much more to cheer about. I won't judge you if you fast forward to the second half.
