K-Love continues to be a double/double machine. Hard to win when you're giving the other team all those opportunities, looks like the big 4 raped you too. fuck Boston.

Yeah, their defense is tough. Sheed hit a fuckin half court 3 pointer at the end of the 1st quarter. Things started to go downhill after that. lol. Demoralizing I guess.

tough loss, for some reason KG gets alot of steals in this game

Deflected passes ended up in his hands.

Big 4 pooped on you Michael. Get it together.

I'm trying!

Hope the Hawks beat you...I mean...

:banghead:

Ugh, Boston's filthy with all that talent.....almost impossible to beat them when Allen and PP are popping like that....Still the Wolves were competitive

Yeah, competitive is the word. We are just missing those couple of pieces. I'm shooting myself in the foot with turnovers or my defense just can't keep up. We find a way to get back into games but costly mistakes tip the scales in the other teams favor.

Tough loss, but you came pretty close. Sean Williams seems like hes been great off the bench

You know it. :D

Now I got him and Sessions off the bench together along with Hayes and Wilkins. My 2nd unit isn't all that bad.

Tough loss. Nets will be an easier opponent.

Beat them in the season opener. Hope I can have similar results in this one.

tough loss

Yep.

damn if you had just a decent 1st quarter you probably would have won, 38-22 damn, what happend that quarter? shots were not fallen? turnovers?

[Vinsane]

Atlanta is tough, I wouldn't expect you to beat them. If you don't beat New Jersey though? There's something wrong with this team.

Player Of The Game:

Jonny Flynn

Quote Of The Game:
"The way that Jonny and Wayne played tonight was reminiscent of how they played in the Summer League. Jonny's aggressiveness allowed him to set up Wayne with good looks at the basket. They were both knocking down their shots as well. They were both in their element. The Nets are playing very well this season so far. For us to come here and get a win, it's big for us." - Wolves Head Coach Kurt Rambis

Everyone in your starting lineup scored at least 10, nice. Ellington and Flynn beasted shit.Control the Wizard O next game and you should win.

Tough love from the Hawks with that late 3'

Nets should be interesting, a chance to get back into that W column

The only 3 he attempted, let alone made the whole game comes with 7 seconds left in regulation. What are the chances? :flush:

damn if you had just a decent 1st quarter you probably would have won, 38-22 damn, what happend that quarter? shots were not fallen? turnovers?

My offense was alright. Could've definitely been better but hardly horrible.

They just didn't miss. It didn't matter if I had hands in their face or not. It was pretty frustrating to be honest. lol.

Man, tough loss. Joe Johnson always hits those big shots.

Yeah, he's a leader. Not afraid to take those big shots.

Atlanta is tough, I wouldn't expect you to beat them. If you don't beat New Jersey though? There's something wrong with this team.

I guess there is nothing wrong with this team.

[Vinsane]

Nothing wrong at all, hell yeah to the rooks doing work.

(13-17) 98 vs. 94 (10-17)


Sean Williams continues to be a factor off the Wolves bench. Williams scored 14, pulled down 8 and blocked 2 in the win tonight.



Player Of The Game:

Jonny Flynn

Quote Of The Game:
"We turned the ball over a bit more than we would've liked to. At this level every possession counts. If you're not playing efficiently, taking care of the ball, you need to play hard and that's what we did tonight. Our work on the glass tonight made up for those turnovers, gave us extra opportunities...extra chances to score." - Al Jefferson

Sean Williams is in the screenshot. Of course it looks nice. :captain:

That I do. Was kicked off the team for the REEFER.

good wins, spurs game is going to be a tough one though

Yeah, should be a tough one. Schedule doesn't really give me many chances to put together long win streaks. lol.

Johnny Flynn is having a good season, keep it up.

Thanks. He's good. I didn't think I would enjoy playing with him considering him being 6'0" and all but he's been great.

at the bulls record

hah. They sux0rz.

What a clusterfuck. rofl. Andre Miller and Mcgrady are back on the trade block.

[Vinsane]

Do I smell an upset?
