Good game in Minny. Boston is rolling, but the Twolves gave them a run. Minnesota shot lights out for 3 quarters. But Boston tightened the vice on D as the game progressed, and Boston squeaked one out.

I love Ryan Gomes. Jefferson looks almost 100%. Corey Brewer may have found his grove. I hope Love gets back soon.


As for Boston, these guys are playing great ball. Marquis Daniels, Rasheed Wallace and Eddie House are a super combo off the bench.


I am loving Sheed is Boston. His D. His 3. And his aura rubs off on the team. I heard Kendrick Perkins bellowing ‘ball don’t lie’ after a missed free throw. After Sheed got T’d up from the bench, commentator Tommy Heinsohn gave an eloquent apology, citing his own penchant for getting techs as a playwer and a coach. Frankly, listening to Heinsohn getting fired up when he gets frustrated with calls as an announcer comfirms their similarity. Love it.


Another gem from the telecast: The Celtics’ sideline reporter was in the Wilves locker room prior to the game, and wanted to talk to Bill Laimbeer. When Bad Boy Bill was informed that a reporter from the Celtics broadcast team wanted to talk to him, he said “‘bleep’ Boston”. Love it.

  • Don't forget Pecherov - how's he go off for 20+ vs. KG? It was funny. He gets even uglier when he's excited, running back down the court pumping his fists. KG was talking so much smack to him. But dude was psyched. Game of his life! But probably the last we hear from him when Mr. Love comes to town.

    KG received lots of savvy vet no-calls that helped win the game for the C's. That, and sneaky Rondo hiding under the hoop. Fun to see the Wolves come to play though. Hopefully the packed house and TV audience will return for more family fun in the dog days of winter. J & J, this means you.

  • wilves and groves? what has the NBA come to? really though, keep up the wicked pissah posts Mike. Keep Moonballin alive.
    TV Dave, Rondo was not sneaky, the Wolves D was leaky. That said K-Ramb has them playin hard and Minni has a core of talent that could someday net a real team. Kinda reminds me of the '06 Celtics...Gomes, Jefferson for Chris Paul?
