Big Alcoholic is back and he has something to prove!

Wolves 105
Mavs 101

Just a query for anyone who watched this game...

Why did Pavlobrick play 20:48min, whilst Love only played 12:01????

Did K Love pick up an injury, or has rambo officially placed the season in TANK MODE?

Anytime Pavlo is playing more than 2 minutes, we are trying to lose while still appearing to play hard. Tank-a-palooza!

I don't even know what to say. Flynn just embarrassed himself out there tonight. Wow, 8 turnovers. Sad. Beaubois and JJBarea just did whatever they wanted against him. His defense is not good at all. Funny people tried to sell him on his "great PG defense" when he was drafted. Kinda depressing. Also, there's no more "short PG excuse" when you look at other guys in the league (as well as Barea and Beaubois!) Oh, and Darrin Collison had 20 assists tonight.

Pavlobrick is a joke. Why would he ever play? And Love 12 minute? What is Rambis doing with his rotations? There is no semblance or reasoning to them at all. I would just say we are tanking, but god, we have the second worst record in the league!

I guess in regards to Love, it was a terrible matchup for him tonight and he wasn't playing all that well. BUT STILL, why does our best guy play only 12 minutes? That makes no effing sense! The best guy on an NBA team should never play that few minutes. And that doesn't explain why Pavlobrick stayed out there for 21 minutes while bricking all kinds of shots. Shame on you Rambis.

Gomes played well and had a nice all-around game. That was nice to see. Brewer did decent besides his shooting. Not counting Love, our bench suuuuuuuuuuucks. Wow. And Darko is definitely coming back down to earth. Still, his defense is nice so I won't complain about Darko too much.

I was definitely wrong about Al, he had a monster game. I admit being wrong on that. He definitely had some spring in his step, so maybe the time off helped his injured knees. Hopefully he gets healthy so we can trade him in a decent trade. I'd like to think we could get more than Deng + Ty Thomas for a healthy Al. Then again, who knows.

Are Kahn/Rambis going to trade Love? I mean, why the hell else doesn't he play? Is it "tough love?" It makes no sense! He's our best guy and should get more minutes. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'd actually be kinda sad if we traded him this summer. Weird to hear since I never wanted to draft him. I guess if we could somehow make a killer trade, then yes, by all means trade him. But I'd much rather trade Al instead of Love every day of the week.

There's not much else to say. We had 25 (!!!) turnovers to Dallas' 8. That won't win you any games. Oh, and our ridiculously terrible defense gave up 125 points. Sad.


At least Brewer is now at 28 straight games with a made three pointer.

This is what it's like to watch Pavlobrick play 20 minutes:



Love was a -9 in 12 minutes and shot 1-7 FG? Duuuuude what the hell. Is he trying to be like Pavlobrick or what?

The real winner of this game was AL's trade value!! woohooo

The Cavs reached 50 wins on the same night we reached 50 losses.

Incredible.

Where to start. That was a tough one to watch. It looked like varsity against JV.

Flynn was embarrassing. He should have sat much of the game, letting Sessions do his thing. You're right about the height issue, if you can play/hustle, there really isn't one.

I think both Pavlobrick playing so many minutes, and Love sitting to let Al shine was; how do you guys say it..."strategic losing"...something of that nature. I guess it works.
Hopefully helps Al's trade value.

Is it of significance that Al's best games come at price of losses?
Maybe.
We did just plain stink last night.

Funny how a couple times the lead was cut to 10 and how surprising that was! I was like "slow it down! take your time!" Instead someone would just jack up a three...

There's no way we trade Love. If that happened, rather than trading Jefferson, I'd consider finding a new team (Thunder?).

I forgot to speak on Darko, which I've actually yet to do since he came here:

I like em. His defense is solid (enough).

One area of his game I really like is his passing. He's always looking for the pass, probably to a fault as sometimes he should go up strong. But last night I saw a beautiful little left handed bounce pass to the baseline and thought "Wow! That was nice!"

It's important to remember he came here basically defeated. He was (still is?) out of shape and not very confident.

What he really needs is confidence and teammates backing him up. It'd be great if Love and him could develop some chemistry and if we were able to sign him to a Ryan Hollins-esque contract- 3mil a year or so.

But I understand that to be highly unlikely. Overseas, he can make much more and be closer to home.

At any rate, I'm rooting for him.

Yeah, I really like the Thunder A LOT. I've been kinda sorta following them the past two years. I think they would be my new team if/when the TWolves move...

Why do everybody hope that Al trade value gooes up? Why should he be traded? Love is playing really bad at the moment but he is our best player. If he is that good, why does he dont start?

Sorry, I had to say that cuz of the all Big Al haters here
