Minnesota Timberwolves at Charlotte Bobcats 11/15

Quick question about our last game: As far as heartbreaking losses go, where did Saturday night's game rank on the David Lee tip-in / Ray Allen buzzer beater scale? Curious to see where you guys rate it.

Tonight we have a chance to recover from that brutal loss with a match up against the very young Minnesota Timberwolves. Minnesota is 1-6 on the road,unfortunately we can't take much comfort in that stat because we are an abysmal 0-4 at home.

The match up of the night will be the two big time rebounding power forwards going head to head. In Kevin Love's last game he had 31 rebounds In Boris Diaw's last game he had... 2

Fellas, Do we finally get a home win tonight?

Ziggy...that Ray buzzer beater is always going to be the most crushing for me...we had a reasonable start to that season but that one in-bounds play told me that the Fine-Ham-Biscuit was not an NBA Head Coach...

I think we get Tyrus back, and we will need him. Go Cats!!!!!!!!

D-Lee was the worst to me. Ray Allen just does that as part of his routine it seems, and D-Will's shot looked pretty well defended. But D-Lee's tip in was just ridiculous.

Same here Ohara. Its one of those games where a loss could trigger some kind of panic trade.

Yes...would be very risky (with our FO) to let this one get way...

Teej, you are right. Bernie could not have drawn up a worse defensive play if he tried. With 0.1 seconds left he put guards on the floor and had Raymond set up defensively outside of the 3 point line. A basketball novice knows 0.1 seconds is not enough time to catch and shoot. Thus you have to put your 5 tallest players and have them stand soccer-free-kick-style in front of the basket.
Ray and Deron earned their game winners by just being good. Bernie allowed DLee to get lucky to win the game. Bernie gave it away. It still kills me.

Terrific comeback. I thought this got away from us in the 4th, but a great rally!
