game of the night

[Bigsmoke]

this should be a good one.

[grantz]

Expecting a T-Wolves win here as payback from their last loss. K-Love 20+ rebounds tonight. Pek 30pts.

[bdreason]

Let's go Wolves.

[andremiller07]

Clippers have had the toughest opening 10-15 games or so I can ever remember it's just one tough team after another they literally only played like 2-3 scrub teams.

Welcome to the Western Conference.

[La Frescobaldi]

ugly game on Wolves so far wow continuing the mud fence action from last night

[robert de niro]

that elite bench :bowdown:

[TaLvsCuaL]

Really poor end of the half for Wolves, still too inconsistent team.

[La Frescobaldi]

Brewer in open court very dangerous.

Pekovic getting irate at Clippers!!

[alenleomessi]

blake ballin in the 3rd

[La Frescobaldi]

blake ballin in the 3rd
he sure is. BG and Pekovic running this game right now. Love needs to get in gear!!

[DuMa]

BG is shuttin down Love :bowdown:

[La Frescobaldi]

that'll be a flagrant 2 right there

[TaLvsCuaL]

Scumbag Jordan

[TaLvsCuaL]

Nikola "Bulldozer" Pekovic :bowdown:

[La Frescobaldi]

Pek taking over at both ends! The block on Blake and back to back hoops for 20 so far!!

[Micku]

Just like the grizz vs clips, the t'wolves vs clips are always entertaining.

[La Frescobaldi]

Martin With The Big 3

[TaLvsCuaL]

Martin with a big big shot

[bdreason]

CP3 taking over.

[Micku]

Chris Paul is the clutchest player in the league. He could go 0-10 the whole game and then hit 10/10 in the 4th when it counts.

[Young X]

CP :bowdown:

NBA record twelve 10/10 games to start a season.

[TaLvsCuaL]

CP3 is awesome sometimes

[KG215]

The f**k happened to Love tonight? 2/14 shooting and 9 points? Still had 11 rebounds and 4 assists (and 5 turnovers), but 2/14?

Blake Griffin playing best D I have seen against Love

[DuMa]

Clutch GOD!

[yobore]

Point God. 14 points in 5 minutes

[TylerOO]

Suprised there's not more posts. These last six minutes by Chris Paul have been AMAZING

[b0bab0i]

This game started so early.

[TaLvsCuaL]

Paul 4 Quarter :bowdown:

[DuMa]

CP3 wtf man. cash in

[yobore]

CP3 wtf man. cash in
what a choker :oldlol:

[DuMa]

CLippers are lucky as hell DJ didnt get that rb :lol

[B-Easy8]

Pek dominates all game and barely touches the ball in the 4th yet lets keep force feeding Love who is playing like utter garbage. I don't understand why this keeps happening.

Adelman also shouldn't be playing the bench for so long, the starters have to come back from 10 points down everytime they come back into games.

He's been doing this all season. I honestly expect him to make every mid range jumper late in the 4th. He's been unbelievably clutch.

[yobore]

fixed that for you

[TaLvsCuaL]

CP3 is amazing but the Wolves can't win with Love and Rubio playing like shit at the same time.

[joeyjoejoe]

Cp needed that he's been really struggling from the field lately but yea was impressive

He was fouling guys out. Yeah this game film is real valuable for the Wolves, they need to watch it for about a week. Because everything that went wrong is very correctable.
Including that correct timing to unleash the Montenegrin. I agree with Adleman that 3rd quarter is better than 1st. But if he's hot and the other team is fouling out trying to stop him, that needs to stay the strategy until they are forced to change. Which the Clippers never did.

Also they are gonna have to figure out rotations up front because Rubio got scorched although he's not the first to see that happen when Paul takes flight like that!!

[Darius]

Love looked like he was feeling that back to back.

Blake griffin did play great D that game though. He is really improving.

[senelcoolidge]

1st Quarter was JJ Redick
3rd Quarter was Griffin
4th Quarter was CP3

Blake played some nice defense on Love and Pek. I really like his energy on the defensive side this season. He couldn't miss in the 3rd quarter. Paul just took over in the 4th. Martin for the Wolves is awesome offensively. He doesn't get any credit.

Clippers are now 6-2 against .500 plus sides with the losses being Miami and Memphis. Loving it. Just can't believe the games vs sub .500 opponents though. Losing to the Lakers and Magic and eeking out the Kings & Nets. Need to get that fixed asap.

We always play to the level of our opponents. It's quite annoying. A lot of it has to do with respect.
