Sorry for my absence boys, went on vacation and forgot my laptop.

This should be a good one against a young and talented T-Wolves team.

Go Spurs!!

LMA being aggressive offensively tonight instead of deferring to everyone and shooting fadeaways.

Much better flow to the offense tonight. We are getting good shots. I think its more to the Timberwolves being horrible than us but we are hitting open shots. Besides Anderson passing up an uncountable number of wide open 3's and Danny Green again never making a shot EVER, we are doing ok.

Easy win against a bad team. Minnesota has some talent. I like them, but they just play really soft. They should be much better than they are. If Kevin Garnett wasn't bald already he would be pulling his hair out.

For us, LMA and David West played really well. I keep holding out hope for Danny Green but its hard to defend him anymore. He does play good defense and rebounds but I can't really remember the last time he hit a couple shots in a row.

People say the Wolves have a bright future but I'm not so sure. There is no denying the quality of Towns and obviously Wiggins is up there but (and I may be flamed if I said this on their boards) they seem quite selfish.

I don't know if it's a losing team mentality and the young guys just wanna get their stats while games don't matter but Wiggins looks to be very much a play for himself guy in the bunch of games I've watched this year. Maybe I'm wrong and it's just his style of offensive game that suggests that, I don't know.

And contrary to what Lavine thinks, his best position is definitely not point guard.

We looked really good in this one. Ball moved well, the defense was solid and LMA had himself a game.

Andre Miller actually looked really good in this one, things just seem to work better with him on the court.

I still think they have bright future they just need a coach not named Sam Mitchel. Towns is a superstar in the making, Wiggins will be a solid Robin to Towns Batman, Dieng doesn't really fit in next to Towns but he's a valuable asset, Jones looks like a solid steady PG and LaVine is a bit of a wild card but a talent.

I really think they should spend in free agency this summer. Get a couple vets and try to win now. Depending on who they get in the draft they should hand two of Conely, Barnes or Horford blank checks.

Fair points there. Especially the coach.

Whatever happened to Pekovic, I thought he'd be one of the better and consistent big guys in the game.

I agree with your above post about Miller as well. Things really do look solid and we look confident with Miller out there. I actually think we steal another Wolves PG in the future and groom him to be our starter for the next decade...
