Early in last night's Minnesota-Houston game, Luis Scola tried to save the ball from going out of bounds, hitting Kevin Love in the balls in the process. While this is all still speculation, early reports say that Love didn't like it very much. "It probably hurt, you know? Los huevos son muy delicados," said rookie guard Ricky Rubio. "He didn't look too happy about it at the time," added Luke Ridnour. "Of course, he could have just been taking a rest on the floor, you know, in the fetal position. It's how he sleeps. He plays a lot of minutes for us, so he deserves the occasional break." Forward Michael Beasley had a different take on the matter. "I have no idea. I just got really high and watched the coyote and roadrunner on Looney Tunes." When reminded that he was on the floor during the play, Beasley responded by asking if anyone knew where the nearest Taco Bell was. [SportsGrid]

NBA scoring is down due to the lockout

MINNEAPOLIS Running out of options, his teammates covered, Ricky Rubio sets his feet for a long jump shot, relatively unguarded and with time to spare. But from the moment the ball leaves his hands, there's something off about its arc, and the closer it gets to the basket, the more wrong it seems. There's no sound, no ding of rubber hitting metal, no swoosh of friction...
