    I basically only got to see the 4th quarter, but did Ariza seriously attempt 13 threes? Is that a typo or something, like how Yao got credited with a field goal attempt last game?

    if you didn't know what I was trying to say then how can u conclude I'm one of those naysayers?? directly jumping to conclusions eh???

    Im saying, if we want to win now, and play .500 ball, we won't get a good draft pick nor will we make any impact in the playoffs. Its like you don't know whether to study or work and end up splitting work and study half half and ending up with all Cs on your exams and not much money either.

    However, I'd love to win more than tank. We'll see what happens when Tmac comes back.

    I hope Morey met with David Kahn to discuss Ricky Rubio while he was in Minny

    More like AB came down to their level, 8 TOs, 5 in 3rd quarter.

    Sloppiness started to turn around after Lowry got into the game in 2nd half.

    I'll take 20 turnovers if it gets a Win any day.

    Loved to see that camaraderie between Scola and Ariza after Scola made that shot at the end.

    the whole second unit had 6 TOs of their own the 7-8 mins they were in there the first half....that's about 5-6 players involved, so that's why i used "team"

    Basing on the game, I thought TMAC returned.

    That got me excited too. Ariza is more of a Rocket than a Laker in the way he plays.

    Sessions and Jefferson are nice players. Other than that... Ouch. That Pecherov dude looks like the Night of the Living Dead.

    What is it with Carl on the road? C'mon, Carl, be the Mandry Friday night! I hope Air Bud finds his SL stroke-- we could use that. At least he's doing other things well. Nice job, Kyle. Great job, Luis and Chuck.

    it was a hard fought game between the rockets and timberwolves but at least we got the win. Scola really played a great game and also Hayes. They kept us in the game.

    I thought Adelman made a mistake bringing back in Chuck, Scola, and Ariza when we were already on our way back into the game with the 2nd unit, but it turned out pretty well for us in the end. Kudos to Adelman for the good switch.

    most impressed by the double-doubles from chuck and scola.

    i guess the discussion of ab's high ceiling and landry's allstar potential will subdue for a couple of days? :p

    and where did landry learn that kongfu kick? do that to amare last night and we'd have won already.

    I missed the game.

    Anyone update me on T-Mac? Did he practice the whole session? And was is this karate kick hype about? Al Jefferson was kicked by Landry?

    TMAC dressed for the game but was inactive no word on his return date.

    Landry jumped for a board and did a split in mid air but his foot caught Al Jefferson flush in the face...pretty wild honestly.
