Nah, just a couple of the really, really dense... the ones who want to understand basketball but really just can't.

What a stand up guy... taking care of those mean bullies on the board who tell it like it is... you'd be my hero if I didnt have a clue :thumbsup:

Enough A-H today though... W's continue to suck in the 4th, so we bring in CJ...

CJ-Buke-Baron-Barnes-AH...

Nellie is terrible...

Buke hit it off the glass... thank god Palmer is there to miss the call completely :lol:

Huge 3 by Baron

reading the play by play, it seems Al is not himself tonight. He played hard the entire road trip, maybe he's gassed.

I hope you don't mind the opinion of a non regular poster here, but... you're really splitting hairs here. The frontoffice doesn't deserve an F just for its decisions in terms of 4th C and 3rd PG. Or to reverse this... if signing Kosta&CJ to these contracts and playing Barnes out of position is everything Nelly&Mullin did wrong this season I'm glad to take this team and its front office.

Absolutely not..

My problem is a complete lack of understanding what the problem is. Kosta's contract, while I still believe it to be a mistake, is forgivable. CJ's too - but it fails to recognize what we need. Did we need another undersized SG? Why is CJ getting 20 mpg and Wright seeing the final 2 minutes? Why is it that anytime a C is successful in limited time is he banished to the bench?

We're good with the potential to be great... we can still be a run n gun team w/o playing midgets, but we don't...

hmm, 7-0 run in 1 minute:

8:57 GS - A. Harrington steals the ball from C. Brewer
9:14 GS - M. Barnes made an 8-foot running jumper in the lane
9:24 MIN - Personal foul on C. Smith
9:30 GS - K. Azubuike defensive rebound
9:31 MIN - C. Brewer missed a 24-foot three-pointer from the right corner
9:49 GS - B. Davis made a 26-foot three-pointer from the left wing. Assist: M. Barnes

Yup... Buke's done that a lot this season actually.. he's pretty sharp about those kinds of things.

Follow Harrington trying a layup = 1 OREB + 2 points :nod:

Al hammers AJ...

Whats more worrying is watching the W's watch the shot.... every Timberwolf started getting a body on them as they watched...

Barnes best game of the year

Al had what, one good game a little while back, but has otherwise not looked very good lately. Similarly, Jack's play has really fallen off, except for the assisting.

What Barnes are you guys looking at... he was real bad a couple weeks back, but good lately, and 13/6/4 so far today. It's going to be tough to blow teams out with 2/5 of the starting lineup (plus an up and down Biedrins) struggling.

Points by Minny's starting 5: 16-15-15-15-30

Violet to the rescue.

Salvatore would never have made that call.

We obviously need to address our weaknesses at C. Its time we actually looked in the draft for size.... that way we dont have to be forced to go to smallball all game :nod:

Well then... what is the problem?
My point is that playing CJ over Wright, signing Kosta and so on will not change the Warriors, for good or bad. So, whats the point fighting this stuff?
Sure, Nelly has his brain farts, but if he believes that playing Wright would cost us games, then I'll believe him... and even if he's wrong, it's nothing to lose sleep about.

Minny is playing out of their minds, plus its 7 on 5.

What happened to Ellis? He's been stuck at 22 pts since the 3rd. Is he in?

Thats the problem... no teams in this league get by with an all guard offense...

Players like POB, Wright, and Kosta... how are they supposed to get any better without getting any experience? Why the blind faith in Nelson, who's never led a team to a championship? Never set one up for one either...

Nellie is a stopgap coach... he was perfect for last year, and the JRich trade, and then we should have found someone else... anyone else... I'd take Monty back at this point, regardless of his stupid rules that he played with...

Um, he put up 27 on 17 shots last game.

He's been up and down more than anyone would like, but Al has certainl been better than "one good game a little while back."

Hater :evil:

Kieth Smart is the next coach, apparently.
