Something the Wolves desperately need and got tonight. Good perimeter shooting.

We are another team when we can hit the three ball.

So what other streaks can we potentially break this year?

Lakers?

Oh how I cannot wait for the day. What is it now, 17 games in a row?

i mean, i'll go with it, i just want to make absolutely sure first.


"Caged Lion" is the unofficial winner. "the Lion of La Mirada" or "The Beast of Bellflower" never really caught on.

The last time we beat the Hawks Eddie Griffin and Rashad McCants were playing. A LONG overdue win.

Got to go to the game last night. 1st one this season.

Some impressions:
-Love the AK for JJ substitution. Saw it several times and each time the team settled down and played more effective ball. Plus it usually takes us from a 3-guard to 2-guard lineup, which is probably for the best all on its own.

-Shved is really fun to watch. He is still bringing more parts of his game to the NBA. When he gets better at finishing at the rim he's going to be really fun.

-Was hoping to see some quality Shved and Rubio playing time together, and the little bit that we got provided a taste of potential greatness. Or at least really-good-ness.

-Wonderful that DWill is making his shots. He played with confidence and showed great fire, especially in the st qtr. On the other side of the ball, he played some good D and some less than good D. Probably the biggest part of his game that he'll need to work on. He really is a much better stretch 4 than a 3.
