Sometime players suck and get under one's skin, whether they are on your team or not. It is perfectly valid to let both them, and more importantly team management, know that you want them gone and are not interested in paying to see them play.


When did anyone say they were fair weather fans or unreasonable? I just said that we need more patience, for a young team we are pretty quick to hate players around here.

As for team management, I'm pretty sure they don't read basketball forums.

• Rambis said backup point guard Jonny Flynn played his best game "by far" since his return from surgery in Saturday's victory over Toronto. Flynn scored 10 points with eight assists and six rebounds and was a team-best plus-28 in the game. "He just looked more comfortable," Rambis said. "Forget how productive he was. He just looked more comfortable and natural."

I was referencing the booing at the actual game.

The raptors game was by far his best this season, hopefully he can keep that level of play up and find some form.

I think the hip injury definitely effected him more than he was letting on, and that could explain some of his defensive problems. It would be hard enough to try and slide your feet and stay in front of an nba point guard at the best of times. When you're recovering from hip surgery it becomes that much harder.

lets not kid ourselves, he had problems sliding his feet last year too before the hip surgery. but yes, he did look pretty good against the raptors.

Another pretty good game against Flynn tonight. His assists were still too high (1:1 A/T) but I liked his aggressiveness.

I hate when he gets assists too.

I actually saw him play defence tonight...he got beat almost every time, but hey, at least the effort was there for once.

He is looking much better, starting to get back his form. Hopefully it continues. Bassy looked very good tonight as well.

Heeeeeeeeeeeere's Jonny!

I'm glad to see him getting back to form, still having some issues with turnovers, but he's been a completely different player lately (in a good way).

Looks good the last couple games. Let the lesson stand not that the Wolves' guards are playing a lot better but that it's a lot easier for a team to win when they get good production from their guards.

Hope it keeps up.
