But no matter how you look at it, the win was still better than losing to this sad, tanking team.

Did Pek get hurt? why did he only play 11:19?? Also can lee play? idk, like Love is amazing, but everyone else on this team I feel just isn't trying that hard.

Yes and Yes...Pek and Beasley played in the first half, no Beasley in the 2nd and Pek started the 2nd half but came out quickly...both are hurting. You're right about Love...He gives 100% every possession...The rest of the team stands around, looks around, and hopes he's going to make a basket...I never realized how much Rubio actually impacted the team as much as right now...I always knew he was one of the big reasons we were doing what we were doing, but it's on another level to me now

Love is on the cusp of breaking KG's rebounding record in Minnesota already??? That's just insane, i had no idea

I read that on Yahoo too, there's no way in hell that's accurate...I don't even know how the writer came to that conclusion. Maybe he meant single season record, but even then that's wrong. Kevin Love could break KG's single season record of 1139 boards at some point in his career(would've passed it easily last year if he didn't miss 8 games) but he can't do it this year with the shortened schedule.

Edit: Someone commented on the yahoo article and summed it up nicely
"I think this writer just decided to do things the lazy way tonight. The 1139 rebounds that he is talking about is Kevin Garnett's single season team rebound record, not career record, but after tonight K Love will only have 591 rebounds this season, so how does he only need 11 rebounds to break the record? Well, if you look on the T-Wolves website LAST YEAR K Love had 1112 rebounds, so the writer looked at the wrong year, added tonights 17 rebounds to get 1129 and if you add 11 more, than he would have 1140, breaking KG's record."

Thanks for clearing that up man, it was on ESPN as well..I looked at it and was like what the hell? That can't be accurate

A win is a win. I actually thought that our win last night was somewhat impressive considering we were lacking 3 of our best 4 players (unless you count Ridnour > Beasley) in the 2nd half, and the crowd was amped up. K. Love was straight up amazing. Seriously, he was just a complete beast in the 2nd half. His will to score/rebound/win was on another level last night. Talk about battling. His complaining to the refs still really annoys me when he doesn't get back on defense. I was happy for Tolliver. JJ played better. I also want to give both Beas and Peck some props for going out there and trying really hard to play, when it was very evident that both guys were hurting a lot.
