This was at the start of the 2nd half... I was honestly surprised at how filled up the place was. I think the announced crowd was 14 or 15k, 17k is capacity.
It was nice to kick back for 3 hours and not think about the Kings leaving :\
Don't even start. I watched the game on LP. The upper bowl was a ghost town lol. i'm surprised the producers even panned up to those sections. Looked like a WNBA crowd. not hatin' just reporting on what was shown on TV.

I'll fall back and be a gracious loser though(figuratively, losing the Kings and literally, losing to this game
Congrats on the Kings though.

Not bad considering its been a day since the Maloofs bent Kings fans over.

And trust me, I've been in that arena when it was empty, and tonight it was far from that. Could it have been more filled? of course, around 3000 more seats could have been filled

Something to discuss for tomorrow...
What should the Timberwolves do with Kevin Love? They went 9-9 with him, and they currently sit at 16-16. I know that didn't leave him much room to get better during the season, but Nikola Pekovic has proven to be an absolute nuisance on the inside on both ends.
Love has made it clear he's unhappy with the direction of the franchise, but these injuries are starting to pile up, but his stock is still sky-high.
The talent you can get for a guy like him is limitless. Go hit up Utah, they have a surplus of bigs they can throw your way. They may not want another big, but in a three-way, they could get rid of that surplus, and the Wolves can get another piece they want. Go hit up Memphis, they seem to want to get rid of either Zach or Rudy.
Not ironing out the details too much, but if a Utah/Memphis/Minnesota deal were on the table, think of the names that could really help the Wolves... Hayward, Al Jefferson, Rudy Gay, Zach Randolph, etc.
I'm not sure what other pieces the Wolves would have to throw in, but I'd like to watch a Rubio/Hayward/AK47/Zach Randolph/Nikola Pekovic team, with Barea and Shved off the bench.
I'm not asking what you think of trading for Rudy Gay, Zach Randolph, or Gordon Hayward.
What do you think the Wolves should do with Kevin Love?
Hell, ship him out for Pau Gasol and MWP. Then the Lakers are happy.

Love's heart looks like it out of minny already. Better for them to shed him now to build a better cohesive unit for the future.
I would do:
Send all the rumored would be trade assets to LA. Lineup of Nash, Mamba, Gay, Love, Howard. Develop williams at natural pos. SF.
Minny gets a legit big to pair with rubio and pek. Plus a go to scorer with gordon. He would have to finally play better since this is a better situation than NOLA. Lineup of Rubio, Gordon, AK, Gasol, Pek.
Memphis gets an outside threat in Anderson and a promising player in Davis to be mentored by Zbo and Gasol. Lineup of Conley, Allen, Anderson, Zbo, Gasol.
NOLA get veterans in MWP, Roy, Luke, Duhon to mentor their young core and a promising defensive minded player in Dante. And they still get the all star game next year. Lucky pelicans. Lineup of Vasquez, Rivers, MWP, Dante, Lopez.
Great deal for everyone.

^ Not sure if srs. NOLA and Minny will get shafted. The Hornets will be left with a young core of Austin Rivers and Greivis Vasquez.

I like how LAL goes from Pau Gasol to Kevin Love, and MWP to Rudy Gay...
There is no redeeming value for any of those moves for New Orleans..
They get rid of three of their most valuable players, if not their most valuable players, and don't get one damn dude worth a damn.

DEAD @ that deal for NOLA
trading 3 starters, one who might be better than James Harden, one who is one of the best 3 point shooters, and another who is the next KG with HOF/Oden-like potential....
..............................for Ron Artest, Mr. No Knees, Luke Ridnour, Edward 40 Hands, and the only other black guy in Minnesota
