On Sunday, they came out flat against Charlotte, recovered and forced overtime before missing all 10 shots in the extra session to lose 119-111 to the Hornets, who were without star LaMelo Ball and have been one of the NBA's worst road teams this season. In the final moments, some of the Cleveland fans who stayed around in Rocket Arena until the bitter end, booed the home team, which has too often played uninspired ball this season.
Initially I was disappointed I was going to miss Sunday's game. I was in Minneapolis doing some on-camera stuff for work, and since we were filming tailgating before Ravens-Vikings, I was out on location while the game was going on. I had it on in the rental car as we were driving between locations and every time we were in the car, it sounded like the Falcons were looking pretty good. It was a close one.
I want to be as supportive and positive as I can be on the manager and the players. But it is very difficult to sit here and say we are seeing progression, and at least we're seeing things that will get results in the near future. We're seeing none of that, and it is very difficult. There was an image towards the end of the game where I saw the Manchester United fans leaving.
These losses aren't even funny anymore. They're certainly not fun. Not only have the Twins now lost the season series to Chicago, they snapped the White Sox's 205-game losing streak when trailing after eight innings. Of course it's THIS team. On to the parody, and I don't mean this pretend masquerading as a ballclub. Man, it's a late one,The fall attendance in a downward run,'Cause we find the Minnesota Twins certainly done;The owner's a fool.
