Foye over Roy?
Rubio over Jennings?

sounds familiar


Rubio over Jennings?

Try Flynn over Jennings.



i think not....jennings will not going to score that much in the "triangle"...and besides,he will split minutes with ramon...


I don't like Jennings, but I think Jennings would actually be pretty good in a triangle offense, a good shooter like him. The thing is would he be this good with the other players we have on the floor right now, I think not. Well here's to hoping Flynn can get a little more slack on the leash and take advantage of it. Either that or here's to hoping Rubio or Wall gets here soon :lol:

Kevin Love was a teammate of Brandon Jennings with the Southern California All-Stars. They beat Chicago a team that had Eric Gordon and Derrick Rose.

Is the "leash" really the problem? Jonny seems to get plenty of opportunities, but he's wild with the ball. It seems like he's his own worst enemy at times; not the "system" or Rambis.

^
The leash comment was from Rambis. He said not to compare Jonny to guys like Jennings cause he has Flynn on a leash right now. He isn't letting Flynn use the pick-and-roll the way he wants to. He said that he has good instincts for executing it but he wants Jonny to focus on learning/improving other things right now and that he will free him up in due time. That is kind of the gist of the comment.

Warriors's GM must fire the coach or the PG or both.

Yah, I'm not too impressed with Flynn up to this point ... I knew his shooting was mediocre, but I had no idea he was such a poor setup man/passer.

Again, until Jefferson and Love get in atleast 10 games together, it's really hard to know where we are. By January 1st, Flynn/Sessions, etc. will have have had another 10 games (inimum) to show us they can play. It would be a mistake for Kahn to panic until then.

Jennings certainly was not a top 6 pick for any of the draft wizards, but after watching Flynn, I can see why there were so many skeptics about him in the top 10 as well.

Rubio ................
Flip response to Love wanting out, "He has no reason to be upset, you're either a part of the problem or a part of the solution"

I reckon Flynn would be a better option coming off the bench as some instant offence.

If the TWolves are going to play teh Triangle, they need players who can shoot 3's and spread the defence.

As such, they are one of the worst perimter shooting teams in the league.

When are we going to win another game? At least I expect us to compete vs. HOU and LA, but we are going to look ugly-sauce until Love gets back.


Houston is going to crap all over us. You see their defense? We may score negative points in that game.


I think we match up against HOU well. They do play good D, but I think Big Al is gonna be a beast in his first game back. We could also play Gomes at PF because HOU is pretty weak down low (Scola, Hayes, and Landry~ Gomes can easily matchup against laundry and is quicker than Hayes). Flynn-Brooks is a wash. That leaves Brew crew vs. Budinger/Battier? I don't know, but I think Big Al is gonna be bigger than big that game, he'll be HUGE Al. Maybe even
GIGANTIC AL!


Alright, Houston just made LA it's little bench. Wolves are going to get smoked like a Cuban cigar.

I'm curious if the Wolves would be .500 in the D-League. Probably, but I acknowledge the real possibility that they wouldn't be.
