Love really had no other place to put his foot. It appeared intentional because of the way he drew his foot back before catching him on the jaw. Love actually tried to avoid Scola's face. It's a pretty natural reaction. I saw no malice that the homer Houston announcers saw.

fail

Ridnour was solid again on defense and was clutch with his jumper. Nice win. Way to talk up the players here fellas. Hate when your team is lead by a bunch of lunch pail carrying white guys!

I actually agree with you, but he gets suspended nonetheless. I actually hope that Love is unrepentant. We need someone to go Vince McMahon.

Daddy, yes- you are right and I gave you a howl. However, it was that much more obvious because someone made a comment about being 500. First time in 5 YEARS. Effing A.

All that "small area quickness" and he can't step over a body? Not even close. He wasn't trying to hurt him but he gave him a quick stomp for sure. But yes, hopefully it's a new trend of him becoming KG-like. Be an asshole to the opposition. Stop being everyone's friend.

Luke and Spanish Jesus looked good (I only watched the second half). Rubio should just stop being passive him Luke and Barea. Demand that they play off-guard. Grab the ball from them. Ridnour is money with the spot up, stop allowing him to dribble.

Adelman was playing a joke I think with Derrick Williams and beasley as the bigs. To make matters worse, they played zone! Beasley was running around trying to guard two wide open guys (and not really guarding either of them) while Derrick Williams did nothing. I wonder if the Wolves can get Kahwi Leonard for D-Charge...

As I said, a natural reaction. Love would have planted his foot squarely over Scola's nose and broken it for sure. Love drew it back but his momentum and gravity couldn't cause him to miss part of Scola's face. Harder to explain than it is to understand if you watch the play closely. Sure both guys were going at it, Scola has a bit more notoriety than Love for sure!

more fail

It looked to me like a sloppy play and Love was obviously frustrated which didn't help, but he had started putting his foot down before he realized that Scola was laying on his back like a baby. I don't think it was totally clean but I think it looked worse than it probably was.

Scola is maybe my least favorite player ever. Right up there. Ugly game, ugly face, ugly hair. Glad he's on a rival. I am enjoying the malice towards Houston, because eff em.

My dude...not even close. so much fail. So what, he stomped him a bit. He apologized or whatever. Either do it and be a bad guy or go apologize. He apologized to the Rockets in the locker room. It was intentional, but he didn't try to hurt him. You're a ridiculous homer to think otherwise.

And Scola was far from "laying on his back like a baby" since kevin Love THREW HIM THERE. It was a dirty sequence for Love. Your hate for Scola is clouding it. Oh well. bout time the Wolves built some rivalries. Maybe there can be one with Houston. Maybe Indy (if they stop stomping the Wolves).

No way man. Scola is weak and Love is a saint. Don't lie.

Like I said I do think some of it was intentional but I don't think it was as bad as it looked. In full speed it looked like part stumble and part stomp.

Yea, on Dream Shake they tossed around the words "career threatening" and several of them now wish death upon Love. Scola was fine. He got a kick by a pissed off Love Shaq. Get over it. Hopefully Love does that to Granger next time...

the more I think about it, the more I want Love to become the most hated, like KG. THEN he'll become one of my favorite players.

Jonny Flynn DNP Coaches Decison hahahahaha. Oh wait, he makes millions sitting on the bench and I just lost my job

A few things.
1. Wolves' good start allowed them to stay and maintain momentum for 48 minutes. Brilliant win with a shitty team looming. F**^ the "I'm okay with a bad start argument.'
2. I am probably in that video DFS posted
3. I did NOT high five McHale per my prediction. But I did high five Pek.
4. I witnessed Terrence Williams and Jeff Adrien consistently hit on a ball girl and a security guard during every time out. Best line = T-Will to the ball girl "I'm 23." (he is actually 24). Also witnessed Jonny Flynn acting like a pompous douche on the bench. My buddy yelled a funny comment to him drawing a sharp glare from his teammates.
4. I deliberately stood 4 feet from D Will at a bar after the game and loudly discussed with a friend how much I want to trade him for Evan Turner et. al.
5. I witnessed Pekovic eat a steak tonight at said bar.

Assign or subtract Timberpups accordingly for points 3-5
