Re: Injury Exception (Wolves Sign Chris Johnson)
I agree with shrink on Amundson. He's one of the disappointments for me on this team (not including all the injuries). I didn't expect a lot but I expected something from him. He hasn't shown one single good quality this year. It sure seems like a no-brainer to keep Johnson over Lou at this point. It doesn't seem like a vet minimum salary for half a season would be that big of a pill to swallow for Taylor either.

Steimsma is right there with him ... his defense has gone in the ****, so his game is nil rght now, too. Someone better jack him up.

Re: Injury Exception (Wolves Sign Chris Johnson)
he also had some nice passes to Barea. A lot of bigs dont pass in those situations. He can block shots like Stiemsma and i definitely see him as the primary backup to Pek. I'm looking forward to see him more with Ricky, both on offense and defense.

Sounds like PHX fans would happily swap Amundson for Zeller, which is a deal Taylor should do.

I don't understand why a Rubio/Jellyroll/AK/Lion/CJ lineup hasn't been on the floor together yet. 3 guys who can convert lobs and 2 that can shoot the 3 at a decent clip. Wouldn't be bad defensively either.

I honestly thought Lou would be the last man in the regular rotation over Stiemsma. Now Greg hasn't been amazing by any means, but Lou couldn't even get off the bench when we have just 10 healthy guys.
I really hope Glen and David have been listening closely to the excitement in Target Center when Johnson and Gelabale are in the game. We need to keep both of them!

Re: Injury Exception (Wolves Sign Chris Johnson)
Fun fact, Chris Johnson has made more field goals (12) this season than Lou Amundson (10), in half the attempts and one-third of the minutes played.
Johnson: 12-16
Amundson: 10-32
Johnson: 12-16
Amundson: 10-32

Can you tweet that at the Wolves please?!

I sent it to Jim Pete, does that help?

One thing I noticed on that video...no bench reaction.

Yeah, its like they're part of the less-enthusiastic members of the crowd. The only one that stood up was Stiemsma, and that was only on one of the dunks. If that was D-Will, they would've gone nuts. Then again, every time he makes a dunk, it can be pretty shocking that it went in

Re: Injury Exception (Wolves Sign Chris Johnson)
Well, it must sadden them to know that they're getting outplayed by a D-leaguer. I especially wouldn't expect Amundson to cheer on the guys he's losing his job to

Re: Injury Exception (Wolves Sign Chris Johnson)
Regarding the no bench reaction post, I feel like the majority of the Wolves have just given up on the season and they're only playing it out because they have to. I don't feel the same sense of urgency or passion or will like I did during the first 30 games of the season. I hope I'm wrong, but that's what I've picked up the last couple of games or so. Combine all the injuries with Love's mess and Adelman being MIA.

Nah. We are just gassed.
Last year we gave up. This season we are light years ahead of that.

Yeah, that's the impression I get, too. They are just worn out.

Johnson reminds me a ton of JaVale McGee and I mean the Good JaVale. Really athletic dude that can dunk from anywhere and block a ton of shots

Re: Injury Exception (Wolves Sign Chris Johnson)
NBA.com has Johnson at 210 though.
Tonight we face Nene at 250 and Okafor at 255. Mullins in CHA is 275.
Man do we need Pekovic (290) back. Meantime, I think it has to be the untalented Steimsma (260) to at least try to keep opponents off the boards.
