    It makes me sick to watch the Gophers and Timberwolves with there very under coach offenses.

    There were a few turnovers last night that were….Let’s just say…THEY WERN’T PASSED HARD ENOUGH!! I had to quit watching! After the 3rd or 4th “soft” pass that was stolen,I knew it wasn’t going to be good. Can’t blame that on the coach!

    I seen that also. How bout the one where they just left the ball bouncing on the floor and another Gopher was lucky enough to pick it up. I quit watching right there.

    To be fair, the Wolves are running on fumes due to injuries. Hard to run and offense effectively that way.

    As for the Gophers, I am at a loss..

    It’s just plain ole’ MN Sports. Get you excited and then they dump you like a fat kid riding a mo-ped. Nothing more to it.

    The Gophs have lost 3 games this year, all of which were against top 5 teams. The fact that we are upset about that says something about the squad. I wouldn’t get too down on them just yet.

    Don’t get me wrong….I am a MN Sports RUBE. But, I will not let them get me excited about anything without a little bit of doubt. I won’t be sucked in to any MN team until the title is in hand.

    Agreed. Yes, it would have been nice to see a better performance against Indiana and Michigan for the entire games. But let’s not panic just yet.

    True, but couldn’t you also say they can only beat the also rans? Beating Michigan State at home was a nice win. Beyond that it might be said it has been a soft schedule.

    But it’s still basketball, wouldn’t watch 5 minutes if they were in my driveway. Timberwolves I wouldn’t watch 30 seconds if they were playing in my driveway. Basically when it comes to basketball I’m a sports radio / newspaper fan only.

    Illinois on the road was a good win as well, but I agree they could have played better the last two games.

    If the timberwolves were playing in my driveway I would tell them to get off my property.

    Every team has injuries, but I’ve never seen a team get crushed with as many major injuries as the Wolves have in the last 2 seasons. We get healthy, we will be a force!

    THANK YOU!!! atleast somebody understands that the season isnt a total loss.. we have lost to 2 previous #1s and a previous #2. Had Dre hollins not got in foul trouble it would have been a completely different game. When is tubby going to realize that the bench is god awful? Oto, Mav, Elliot, and Ingram do noooot deserve to be out there against these top of the line opponents. I have always been a big Welch supporter, im glad he stepped up late in the first half yesterday, maybe something for the future.

    the lost to possibly the best team in the nation last night. you’d like to get a home win there and michigan is beatable but belein is one of the best come out at the beginning of 2nd half and go on a run coaches in the biz.

    It has more to do with the fact that I am not a big fan of the NBA in general. I think the gophers will turn it around and be a force come march.
