The Spurs won going away, inflicting the third road defeat in a row on a team that sounds tired of hearing the injury excuse.

please, please, trade DWill, dude can not finish at rim. And why,why is Barea out of the game when the game is on the line, he is the only cluch player this team has right now.

I don't like the way they are using Barea and Rubio. Love is out for awhile again. It is another lost season of what could have been.

Statistically we have one of the best defenses in the entire NBA. It's too bad it is combined with one of the worst offenses.

We were fooled! This team needs many new players! To many weakness to mention. Last years team before Rubio went out was way better than this team.

Buddinger and Love are two very important players out with injury. I am beginning to think the Wolves are Jinxed or something.

RP, the only way that is true is if you are not counting our injured players. Add in Love, full power Rubio, and a SG that can shoot and we are much improved over last year. Dante, Bud, AK, and Shved are all way better than our previous players and Barea seems to have improved a bit.

Where are all the posters that think this team is better without Kevin Love? Can't find the keyboard? They have hit rock bottom and the only thing they can do is fight back. There are no excuses for anyone. Having said that, I am going on the injured reserve list also, broken spirit, unable to participate right now. After some rest and recuperation, I will be back. I talked to Kevin Loves' specialist, and am ignoring his advice to keep on playing. I have punched several walls and done some 'knuckle push-ups' and need to take some time off.

Given all the injuries, I am not expecting the Wolves to win. Good teams such as the Spurs are only doing enough to win; they are definitely NOT getting up for an injury riddled team like the Wolves. On the positive side, I am very pleased as well as surprised by Rubio's mobility. He is locking down defensively, so from my recliner, and as a former hospital orderly, his knee looks pretty good. It should only get stronger, and it will be interesting to see if his shot begins to fall. When everyone is back next year, we can shoot for the playoffs; for now, it's time to adjust expecations. I have one question for anyone who has an informed answer or just a wild opinion: aren't there some players in the D League who are better than Amundson and Lazar, especially the latter?

Time to think about trading Rubio and Love in a super-package deal.

This team is very hard to watch right now. They have no talents and no hearts to win at all.
