40 Minutes of Hell 

Post#1 » by NeonPeon » Tue Mar 22, 2011 12:37 pm

Being as young, long and athletic as the Wolves are, wouldn't playing a 40 minutes of hell type offense be optimal in giving them a chance of winning each night?

I'd go the other way. When you suck, you want as few possessions as possible. Slow it down.

Isn't that what we're trying to do already? Offense all confussion, jacking up hilarious shots, fastest pace in the league...our offense is like the symbol of hell.

This is exactly what we already do. Then in those last 8 minutes the opponent decides to start trying and they come back and beat us.

Maybe the Wolves think a lot like Zach Randolph. They think there is only 42 minutes in the game and quit playing for the last six minutes... This would explain all the 4th quarter collapses.

I don't know, but I'd press and trap like **** on D, they miss all the rotations anyways so why not
