Comments from the Other Side - Timberwolves 12/19/14

Well, the post-Rondo era began with a pretty good game.  Kelly Olynyk looks like he may be gaining some consistency. 3 games in a row now, he has been very good.  I know it was just the Wolves but this team had plenty of reasons to lose but they refused to.  I love their spirit.   I love how fans covet our coach also.  My favorites are in bold,  what are yours?  



Last win in BOS? 3/6/05. 99-97. K.McHale was coach, the 1st time. L.Sprewell hit GWer w/ :00.9 left. R.Davis missed at buzzer for BOS.

Sounds like Evan turner is starting at point for the Celtics. Should be interesting.

Marcus Smart returning to the BOS lineup tonight

I hope bud gets 51 points and is traded on Monday.

I'd like to see Budinger get ZERO minutes.

I am a little concerned that we might go on a 20 game winning streak now that we are putting our best player so far this season on the floor from the start.

First game without Corey It’s going to be brewtal.

Oh great, we're headed for a Jeff Green MPE

Anybody but Olynyk for MPE COnsidering the draft and Olynyk ... I don't want to see him destroy us

They would torch us by now, if they havent traded Rondo.

is brad stevens 23 years old?

No, but I believe he is younger than Wes Johnson...

Who isn't?

Methuselah. Wait, I might need to double-check that.
(googles)
I was wrong.

Zeller does not appear to be a well schooled player.

Zeller looks like a videogame version of himself, poorly rendered.

Olynyk is apparently a graduate of... The Mike Miller Hair Club for Men (?)…

Olynyk is head bobbing garbage.

If a team passes more than 6 times do they always score on us? We cannot keep up with our rotations past one

Hard to believe Boston is a playoff contender

I have no feel for this game. Feels like a scrimmage or something.

The game feels like Olynyck looks

I get why Flip wanted to draft Kelly.

I don't get why he didn't

Who's the drunk Boston commentator doing a mockingly ******Ed commentary
"7 FOOT POINT GUARD OLYNUK"
"SEE WE LOSE RONDO AND WE GET A BIGGER ONE"
I think it's quite offensive to put on a mockingly dumb accent and scarcasticly beat on about being an idiot. Just my two cents

That's just Tommy Heinsohn. He's not mocking anyone. He might be drunk though.

Wolves and Celtics should swap Canadians. Olynyk is way better than Wiggins.

One has been in the league a year longer. Makes a huge difference. It is pretty clear that Olynyk would have been more worthy of the #1 pick in his draft over the other guy.

This is hard-to-watch "basketball". With the exception of Olynick, nobody can hit a basket.

Olynyk has taken 11 shots in 12 minutes

Bradley is kind of chunky

The Cleveland Cavaliers could really use a player like Tyler Zeller.

Gorman doesn't like Heinsohn's homerism any more than we do. He sounds very irritated at Heinsohn at times.

I think drinkin' songs Are in order.

Jeebus, we need a real power forward. Sullinger is eating our lunch out there

Refs "letting em play" tonight Because what’s the point of calling any fouls in a game this bad

We have more talent. By not much. They have better coaching. By much.

We don't have more talent

Getting tooled on by one of the worst teams in the eastern conference. No bueno

Did Cleveland know, pre-trade, that Wiggins cannot shoot?

Trade is official. We can't be getting both 2nd rounders Why would PHI just take Ronny?

We gave them their first win. They owe us.

We owe the Universe for that shitshow

Getting owned by Jared Sullinger!!

Would it really be wrong to bench Wiggins til he gets himself together? He's looking like Wes Johnson out there without a permanent dopey smile on his face.

Is it just me or does Zach Travel, carry, and double dribble without getting it called very often?

He carries all the time, but never gets called, so it's fine

I'm pretty sure he can't dribble and the NBA just said "F*** it, we ain't calling it anymore."

We do so much dumb stuff. I feel like we should not have a chance of winning this one

No worries. They have no chance at winning Its just an issue of which kind of blowout it fallss into

Olynik needs to chill the **** out and stop splashing from all over the court like he's Brady heslip or something

Can't beat the Rondo-less Celtics. Yikes.

I didn't think Smart would have this good a shot already. Good call pulling the trigger on the Rondo trade, Ainge.

Even with the injuries, we are still probaly better than Boston, or at least equal, and look at Boston, and the effort, and how they play.
What a difference...

Good teams have the "ON" switch where they play perfectly late in the game to come back from a deficit or increase their lead
We have a "tank" switch where we keep it close for about 45 minutes then be down by 20+ for the remaining 3 minutes
