Wolves 100

3. 20 and 8 = 28

Bonus - Garnett technical.

BONK - fantastic preview

In the pregame talk about "the best rebounder in the game today" Tommy Heinsohn said:

"We want to call him 'Affection' not 'Love.'"

Celtics 103 Wolves 95

Barea 6 points

Shved 8 Points

Bonus:

Rondo = 32 Points + 14 Asist

Estaremos . . .

Amish Garnett with the hot 8 point start!

Big Pek needs to get the ball and be determined to score. He's missing shots that he wouldn't if he just turned and scored with some authority.

If Shved has proved one thing the last 3 games its that he has 26'-28' range!

Tod Murphs talking to himself in the forums, Daddy talking to himself in the game thread on the front page. All good.

KG is still so amazing. Him and Duncan are such models for professionalism. They have kept their bodies in such good condition and have honed their skills so well. Few players can play at that level at their ages.

I'm tired of this shitty Barea show. Give the ball to Shved so he can do magic

Daddy, I checked to see if you were over there, but comments don't seem to show up on my iPad. Anyway...

Agreed on just giving it to Shved to run the show.

We make our free throws, we might have a shot to win this one.

Pek, HAM, Love...some serious offensive rebounding there.

I'm tired of the Pek-Love duo. They get blocked every possession.

51-47 Wolves halftime lead.

What's our per quarter team scoring. We seem to have good first halves.

Celtics using the Shove-A-Love strategy. It's working. He's 3 for 8 from the line. Pathetic.

I'm really liking Josh Howard. Solid.

Give Derrick Williams a shot in the second half, bench Love.

Timberwolves scoring per quarter:

1 - 25.9
2 - 23.2
3 - 21.7
4 - 22.4

Timberwolves per quarter scoring margin (NBA rank):

1st +4 (#2)
2nd -2.1 (#26)
3rd -0.7 (#19)
4th -0.3 (#16)

Out scored 32-21 in the 3rd!!

I'm really hating these third quarters.

Overcome a 7 pt deficit in the fourth? I'm doubting it.

Dang, looks like it was a tough loss huh?

Daddy watched this one. I amazed at the stupidity of a team with a player like KG, Boshina, etc., ie. long bigs who clearly can't be contained by our stubby white boys. They went to KG early and he ate them up. Then they stopped...weird. Anyway, sort of unrelated to the loss, but I'm over this Pek-Love duo. They clearly can exist on the same team but they need a longer version of Cunningham (D-Charge for Sanders) or a magical transformation from Steimsma.

They were something like 14 for 28 on free throws, with Love leading the way at 6 for 12 from the line. Great job. They didn't play terribly, just free throws like idiots and cooled off from the field. The team's psyche was phucked up tonight.
