Kevin Love is not happy with Timberwolves bench

Another Timberwolves loss, another Kevin Love locker room tangent about the bench. This time, the Suns beat Minnesota 104-103, thanks to a game-winning jumper from Gerald Green with only 3.9 seconds left. Love was not pleased and shared his feelings in the locker room.

"We can't have two guys at the end of the bench just sitting there and not getting up at timeouts," Love told reporters. "We all have to be in this together. That kind of pisses me off. We're supposed to be a team."

ESPN and other outlets believe he was referring to J.J. Barea and Dante Cunningham on Wednesday. This is not the first time Love has complained about his teammates, and Barea did not like how their grievances were aired to the media. So, this might be a problem. Love didn't stop there.

"It's to a point that those two guys, if and when I did that last year when maybe I didn't sit out of the game for 48 minutes and so on and so forth, they would have killed me. They would have aired me out. We expect more from them, and I think they expect more from themselves," he added, via ESPN.

"I'm not trying to single anybody out, and I'm not trying to make it bigger than it is. That was a team we needed to beat tonight. Even guys that didn't play any minutes, we need to have a team on the bench that's really in it together."
