as long as he balances his shoots he can try the 3s and eventually they will go in

Doesn't last long...but he doesn't want Varajao getting Rebs I see.

First Kevin Love temper tantrum with 3:30 left in the first

The season trend continues...one of the best first qtr teams and one of the worst in the second qtr.

2nd Kevin Love temper tantrum with 2:10 remaining in the second.

This is not to suggest he's not a plus tonight. Since Pek is trashy tonight, glad Love is trying.

Wolves played best when Love was hitting the paint and the boards. When he wasn't doing that we got outscored by 2-3 points.

Halftime scoreboard on the challenges:

#2 = 0 (yes, I posted this now because that was my guess!)

#3 = 15 combined steals so far!!!

Especially when Varejao is on Pek, Love needs to just go in the lane and smash.

Roundhouse, Gortat is sulking and in the doghouse. Do your magic with a Gortat to MN trade. Or Gortat to the Pelicans and Disney Lopez' brother and other stuff to the Wolves.

Ricky can't wait to play with AK. He's always on the move to the right places. Even Luke can find him some of the time.

Kirilenko is so good on both ends of the court. We really need him healthy.

Love back to his normal self from here on out. 30 and 10 after 3 qtrs.

Kirilenko is 2 blocks and 1 steal away from a 5x5... distinct possibility at this point.

Shved threw and alley oop to Lee who almost had a schweet skywalker jam. My head would have literally exploded with Joy.

Horrible shooting performance from the Wolves. I guess I can't complain considering we won by that much but something has to improve to beat the good teams. Love was terrific and hit his free throws. I'm thinking Pek's ankle is still bothering him. Nice bit of rest for the team coming up. Hopefully, we can get healthier and put together a real sound game against the Nuggets who will be playing the night before

pfff. No, players on this team don't have any instincts (other than Rubio) to get him the ball when he has his man sealed. Reinforcement theory says Pek is bound to just stop expending so much energy for no positive reinforcement (the ball). They miss him all the time and then he has to trot out of the lane by the time Luke's head is up (for example).

Also, he absolutely cannot score outside of the low block. He has no moves whatsoever. The defender puts all his weight on him and Pek just dribbles and goes to that ugly ass hook.

@JerryZgoda
If you're wondering about Pek after a 4-pt, 1-reb nite: He turned his ankle in Philly, almost didn't play in Boston, wasn't himself tonight
