Didn't see the game, just checked the box score. I can always count on Wes "0-2 from 3" Johnson. This team is already firing on about 3 pistons and some guys just never step it up to help. I'd like to see Brad Miller playing, he may be rusty but he was always a gamer.

Still wondering why no Anthony Randolph. Ugly game in third quarter after all those calls seemed to go the way of the home team..seemed like Wolves tossed brick after brick at the basket after that.. There is absolutely no consistent scorer other than Love right now. Beasley and Pek's absence as well as JJ are really hurting ths team..seems like all our best players, sans Love have gone down this year..Shows you the potential of this team when firing on all cylinders..

The Grizzlies beat the Wolves in the paint. We had no answer for their inside game. Badly missed Pek's offense and his ability to take up some serious space and do some banging on defense. I am impressed with the little bit I've seen of Lee. He doesn't appear to have much of an offensive game, but he is quite the defender. He also runs the offense much better than Ridnour because he can penetrate and dish. He is extremely quick and smart. Now that we are out of the playoff picture, I'd like to see more of Lee at the point and Ridnour and Ellington at the 2. Great effort by the guys, but when two of your four best players are out and one is playing with a bad toe, it's pretty hard to win consistently.

it seems pretty simple now, score double digit 3's they win, don't, they don't.

I'll say it: The officiating was terrible and very 1 sided in this game!

JP I agree...the officiating was HORRIBLE. There were more than a couple of easy calls and then they drive you can hear crickets, we drive the paint get to the key and chirp. It was almost embarassing. It must be something with Minnesota Basketball. I was also watching the Gopher NIT game and two very OBVIOUS calls at the end to force OT. Both were against Hollins. On the inbound defender dragged him by the jersey to the floor and the other slap on the elbow during a jumper. NO CALL!!!

Stop being confused why Randolph doesn't get a lot of time....the answer is always one of 2 things. He's too skinny to guard the other bigs or he's too dumb to play period.

Why is Randolph and Darko still on the team if they aren't going to be used? Without Peck we never had a chance against an inside scoring team.

As usual the refs are anti-Minnesota no matter what the sport. They get away with it because we are just too easy going.
