    Looking at the contact, it could be a PCL. Blow just below knee, foot planted.

    Wow..I initially thought he just flopped..cause he has the tendency do that. Unfortunate..although it does improve our playoff odds.

    We're going to see who's the real MVP for Minny.

    Yeah, Adelman's coaching must've really fallen off. Cuz, you know, Rubio ain't that good to make that kind of difference. :rolleyes:

    Whoever said losing Rubio wasn’t going to make a big difference?

    Kevin Love got into it with Barea during tonight's game. Must be some frustration building up from the losing. And from playing with a good floor general like Rubio to now playing with PG's that play the way Barea and Ridnour play.

    outside of love, the twolves have nobody on that team besides rookies and 2nd year players.

    the fact that they were challenging for a playoff spot with this youth shows how much talent they have.

    no matter what the twolves do at the end of the year, they have exceeded expectations.

    and just so you know it's love. and it will be love when rubio comes back and even when dwill develops, it will still be love.

    Love has never taken that team anywhere . He can put up his 20 and 15 and they lose .

    Kevin Love. Most overrated superstar in the NBA. Better stats than Tim Duncan ever had, way less impact.

    All the people that claim Rubio didn't make as much difference as Adelman.

    What's happening is J.J. is using Love for a decoy out at the top and running stuff to the cutters in the paint. Love is disliking not getting the ball at the three-point line so he's starting to boil. Typical superstar. Watching them, I'm not convinced that he shouldn't be touching the ball more.

    Yea but the same thing happened with Garnett. Put 1 good guy around a bunch of Kahn picks and you have the Timberwolves. Now Rubio was giving them the bump they needed to make it interesting and Williams seems to be coming on but this team is still a mess. I'm really surprised they didn't do more this trade deadline.

    micheal jordan's team didn't do crap until they got pippen and grant. Translation: basketball is a team sport.

    people look at all those high picks and think that the wolves have great people. but in reality, dwill and b-easy are marginal players right now. Wes Johnson is a bust. A.Randolph is a bust. Barea is a back up point. Darko has been shipped off more times than not. Webster hasn't been good for 2 years.

    There is talent on that team but it is undeveloped.

    Rubio and Love are far above the level of talent on that team.

    If rubio is healthy next year and assuming that dwill learns to do more than score this team has a good nucleus. It's just a young team that is all.
