Click here for the forum’s thread on tonight’s game at Oklahoma City
Game previews:
The opponent has an NBA-worst 1-15 record, has lost 13 straight games and already is on its second coach of the season.
If there were any such thing as a sure thing for the Timberwolves, it would seem to be tonight’s game at Oklahoma City … unless they come out and play like they did in the first quarter of Wednesday night’s 110-102 loss to the Phoenix Suns.
Coach Randy Wittman made that clear while bemoaning his team’s failure to jump on a Suns club that was playing the second of back-to-back road games.
Charley Rosen/Fox Sports on the team’s missing parts:
Despite the relatively close score, Phoenix had the game firmly in hand from start to stop. Even so, the T-Wolves demonstrated that while their future isn’t incredibly luminous, it’s also nowhere near as bleak as it used to be.
Here’s the rundown…
Kevin Love (MIN) is an NBA.com contributor and a decent ball player, so this isn’t meant to be a personal attack, but after a week where the big man shot 5-for-18 from the field to drop his field goal percentage to .360 and his three-point percentage to .111, you have to laugh that some analysts had him ranked as the No. 1 rookie in the league after the first week of the season.
