Oklahoma City Thunder @ Minnesota Timberwolves 01/20/10

Jonny Flynn / Corey Brewer / Damien Wilkins / Kevin Love / Al Jefferson

Matchup

Kevin Love is going to be a game time decision with an illness. Even with Love, the T-Wolves aren't very good. Johnny Flynn is a talented guard but he's been a bit wild, Corey Brewer's got no offense, and we all know the Damien Wilkins story. Big Al is a load in the post, but is no threat to play a big defensive game.

I really like all our matchups except in the front court if Kevin Love plays. He gets after it on the boards and will feast on Jeff Green et. al.

I'm assuming Kevin Durant will be guarded by Corey Brewer..

Some Numbers

We're going for six games over .500 for the first time since 2005.

A Question

Can our front court by committee limit Al Jefferson in the post?

This should be good. As long as we don't take them easy, we should be in good shape. :)

At least we're consistent. Same old problems. We're destroying the T-Wolves from the field, from 3pt range, and from the line. But we're turning the ball over and giving up second chance points. Just another example of why we need a front court change.

It perplexes me why we aren't using other big men with Collison out. Why not put in Etan Thomas to control the boards? I don't get it at all.

We should be running away with this game but KD with another 4 TO and 10 TO overall, Minnesota with 8 oreb or something like that. Horrible.

I just tuned in with a couple minutes left in the half. Love isn't playing tonight, there should be no reason why we aren't blowing them out right now.

Wilkins and Brewer are a combined 15/21 for 37point.

Who saw that coming?
