cut him some slack, lets see how good your posture looks when you're 7 feet and spending hours a day hunched over at your computer masturbating in a chair thats made for somebody 5 foot 8.


Yeah, his defense in general looked bad. I just don't like him as a player at all.

Wait, what? :confused:


its simple math: you're a big tall guy, the monitor containing the internet porn is yay high, you gotta hunch way over to get a good look. Now you could argue that he's rich and therefore should have a nice comfy custom computer chair, but keep in mind that he's rightfully unsure about his future here in Minnesota, and the common rule of thumb around the NBA is that you don't go splurging (pardon my pun) on a kick ass comfy masturbatory seating device until you get that first contract extension. Trust me, all the NBA accountants are nodding their heads in agreement right now.

Ok, now that makes sense. I forget he's waiting for his 1st non-rookie deal. That and the recent trade. Lot of things to consider in that regard. He doesn't know if his option is being picked up for next year or not. And I'm sure at 7-feet, you need that custom built.

Eh it was just one game and Pech was playing with a busted hand. Lets give him a bit more time before we just say he's absolute garbage.

That's true about the hand. But good lord that release was ugly, and his "attempt" at defense left much to be desired.

We will use waaaay more P/R-P/P when the season starts. We know that is a strength and we are working weaknesses in the preseason.

-Sessions impressed me much more than Flynn, and the boxscore reflects that. +6 compared to -11 for Flynn.
-Wow, 2-18 from 3-pt range? OUCH!!! Hurry back, Wayne!
-Just 65% from the charity stripe? Doesn't sound charitable to me...
-Love with yet another double-double.
-Pecherov is worse than Madsen. Madsen's 3-pt bricks look better...
-I'm liking both Pavlovic and Wilkins. I hope they both stay.
-Chris Richard is NOT as good as he played tonight.



Flynn will improve when we run more P/r-P/P and we let him slash more. he is trying to learn the Triple post and that is tough.

I have very low hopes for Pecherov but this was his first game back from the injury. He did shoot ok in the summer league.

There was a lot of talk yesterday coming from the Wolves about them using more pick and roll during the season and that they're trying to expand Flynn's game in the pre-season with different styles of game. They know p/r is his strength. I can't wait til the season starts and that first p/r is called and Flynn takes the ball to the hoop and wrecks someone with a nasty flush.

Simple, he can sit on the floor, he is tall enough and he saves money from not buying the small furniture. He can go with the whole minimalist thing. It may toughen him up too.

Hmmm, double post.

I will say that I was quite impressed with just how much physically stronger Flynn seemed to be than the other PG's. He really will be able to take alot of contact attacking the basket.
