GT: Timberwolves vs. Spurs 

Post#1 » by Nolan » Sun Jan 12, 2014 5:21 pm

When: 7:00 PM ET, January 12, 2014
Where: AT&T Center, San Antonio, TX

Should be a good one tonight against the very talented Timberwolves. The key to this one as it always is with the Timberwolves is containing Kevin Love.

Go Spurs!!

Our home and we just had a 4 days rest. Also, we've lost enough home games so far. That's going to stop.

Spurs take this win.

I'm kind of shocked the Timberwolves aren't better than they are. I thought Adleman would make them a playoff team. We have the 2nd. best record in the NBA and we haven't played well for over a month. I wouldn't start to worry about losing games until after the all-star break.

looking a little sloppy so far. Hopefully we shake it off in the 2nd half.

Nice win, the team misses Tiago though.

Give Manu another week if you can so the injury doesn't linger.

Wolves is missing two things IMO. In a lot of ways, feels like what Portland went through last year.

Wolves need better bench. It sucks. Simple as that. Cunningham looks garbage to me. A skinnier version of Ayres? Cause I really don't know what he does out there other than being a hustle guy. Barea is alright, he is what Patty Mills is to us. Budinger is meh...

Also, lack of go to option. Kevin Love, even in his first game cannot create his own shot well enough right now. Watch the 4th quarter of our first Wolves game when Pop made Diaw stay with him at all times. He is lacking a go to move and is very limited as a post scorer. It's a right jumphook from the right block. Anyone saw any other moves from the post? Little seperation though and it's money for Love. He just needs to add post moves to his game so he can create that seperation.
