Toronto and the Cavs are a 50/50, no chance Washington beats the Knicks.

3-10 here we come.

The Knicks stink.

If Wall plays like that then we will win a ton of games, espically at home. The great thing about it is that he played great, controlled the game, but this will still be considered like teh worst game for Wall because I guarantee you that if he stays this way then his shot will fall and then he'll easily be getting 20 & 10 every night

Nice comeback, didn't expect it at one point of the game. Finally a WIN

I rest my case.

Line ups line ups Line ups

Great energy when you put more energy in there.

Ves was pretty awesome out there. Played deep into the 4th. Even in defending Love under 10 sec. And on the last shot. HUGE FOR VES.

Ves, Temple, Booker. If used properly and mixed in, they can compliment the starters enough to win.

I don't forgive Randy for sucking with the line ups to start the year, but happy to see he is figuring it out.

To be fair, they were ridiculously hot in the first half. There's no way that could be sustained all game long.

Randy just creamed himself. Word is he is leaving a booth with a copy of the tape and plans on working his way through and entire roll of tp tonight.

Agreed. But the same thing could be said for the degree of cold shooting down the stretch. Don't think we can expect a team to go that cold too often.

Sorry. You don't get to gloat. Randy didn't really do what you have prescribed: putting Nene in with the 2nd unit. Our 2nd unit had Vesely and Booker.

This wasn't about rotations. Webster played 43 minutes. Wall played 39. Beal, 38. Nene, 35. The bench didn't hurt us because they didn't play long. It's definitely not an indication that Wittman has found the Rosetta Stone for this ball club. Our starters can't play that much every night.

Ves stopped kevin love....something a few players have done this yr...love got fouls on nene every play...
Beal made some good shots...but webster sasved our a** with his last 2, 3s

Ves was our difference maker...
Other than nene free throw make this is our usual team performance lousy 1st half, ramped up 2nd half, lose down the stretch...because ves defense on almost every 4qtr play he was in we kept them scoring poorly along with us...beal will always make shots, same with webster...wall will make good passes...

But ves applying good defense on the current mvp of the league....

This should be a big game for Beal. 107-101.

Dude!

Nice energy from the bench. They're still not good, but at least they didn't suck the life out of the game. Vesley and Booker gave solid minutes. It made sense to play Vesley over Seraphin, seeing as MIN's backup bigs are built more like Vesley then Seraphin.

It makes sense to play ANYBODY over Seraphin. The guy has a PER of 6 and an ORtg of 82!

Starting to love Ves. Kevin can kick rocks.

hands11 · Post #194 » by **hands11** » Wed Nov 20, 2013 2:39 am

Vanchise was huge tonight.

Really brought the energy with the dunks to start off and the the steals and rebounds and great defense.

Glad things as starting to work out for him.

And all he is really doing is playing more Ves with more confidence and energy. Swag.

Now they are starting to use Ves the way he can be used. Feeding him for easy buckets.

16 assists for Wall was huge. Hardly noticed he had 17 attempts the way he played. And that last J was huge.

If Wall keeps playing like that, he will hit more and have some huge games.

And just know Webster would come up money. He played with great energy with that block. I know he would make it if he got a look. That HOF play with 5 passes was pure awesome. Webby with the money shot.

Timberwolves fans are distraught that they lost to the "lowly Wizards".

Absolutely it was about rotations. Are you kidding me.

Beal came out after 5 minutes for Temple.

He played more of the energy bench of Ves, Booker and Temple. He mixed them in. Ves was even covering Love on the final shot.

I was saying all along play Ves more and it was stupid to ice him after the summer he put in and how he lead the team in rebound per 36 in preseason.

What if we can keep both ?

Absolutely that is on the table.

Nene gortat okafor would be an acceptable frontcourt, when healthy.

Really liked what Ves and Booker did off the bench tonight because those two are going to have to play a lot of minutes. Harrington and Ariza and Porter all being out really sucks. Don't know what happened to Seraphin, but something is wrong with him.

Beal is going to get worn out pretty soon, but at least for tonight, he was a stud.
