Wolves VS Warriors!!!!

[4ho5ive]

Foye looked REALLY good today. He's just getting more confident and his game is getting back to where it should be. He played really good D today too, i was impressed big time.

Has anyone else noticed that the last 3 wins were all against NYK, MEM and GSW. All teams that play up tempo, run and gun style???

Our next four games are againts sub-.500 teams.

[Metin91]

i can smell a 5 game winning streak

... and we're heading into january a.k.a. the month where our teams plays the best

[Klomp]

Anyone watching Fastbreak?

[4ho5ive]

anything good?

[Klomp]

Well Al had two highlights. They said something like "The teams not very good, but Al does whatever he can to help them win"

Then the next highlight was the Bucks/??? game, and there was only one highlight in their whole highlight sequence.

The bad part was watching the Dallas comeback all over again before their highlights.

I hate espn. They are the worst. At least NBA TV gives someone fair coverage and highlights.

Don Nelson called Al "Iron Man" after the game. Not sure i understand it but i thought it was interesting

Man i was bored and doing some random research. I found out that Al and LeBron TAKE and MAKE practically the same amount of FG's a game this season. That's insane, if Al got to the line he'd be a top scorer in this league

[Devilzsidewalk]

true,

James averages roughly 8 1/2 two pointers, 1 three, and 7 free throws a game for his 27 and change ppg

Al averages 9 1/2 two pointers and 4 free throws a game for his 23 ppg

big Al is only 32nd in the NBA in free throw attempts, but tied for 5th in field goal attempts

problem is, everybody on the list can move way better than him except for Shaq, but he's huge and fun to foul

If Al wants more FT attempts, he needs to be able to put the ball on the floor and not use his hook shot so much when he's in trouble. If he doesn't have a good look, he usually goes for the hook, but he could be trying to draw contact instead, it'd be higher percentage because his bailout hookshot rarely falls.

He get's his man up in the air so many times a game. I think if he just tried to power through him and get the and 1 instead of avoiding the contact his ppg and efficiency would raise. I also noticed that we've won 3 out of our last 5 and in each of those 3 wins Al has 10+ FTA
