Re: Minnesota @ Phoenix
which is a bigger deal,,,kluv getting 30+ pts, or kluv getting <10 rebounds. i'm always disappointed when kluv gets <15 much less single digit boards. however i think his intent to be more offensive is better for the team.

Re: Minnesota @ Phoenix
man fantastic win against a surging, on our heel's suns team. incredibly free flowing and easy to watch...just had to get in the mind set of basically ignoring defense. man you see wes put it together for that 3-4 minute stretch offensively in the 3rd and you wonder why we don't see this more often, in that respect he's the darko of the perimeter. great way to start off the road trip..very proud.

Re: Minnesota @ Phoenix
btw, why is Webster playing at the end of the games? It's clear that he always make the right play to make us lose
, he is really unclutch.

I haven't watched the game, yet, but the fact that both teams shot better than 50% from the field reduces a lot of rebounding opportunities and we still outrebounded the Suns team.. If he gave up easy rebounds to opposing players, I'd be concerned, though.
Great to wake up and see a W in the column. ARRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Re: Minnesota @ Phoenix
The most impressive part of the win to me was that we had a season high 30 assists without Rubio.

I guess people is aware of the need of moving the ball (even JJ and Beas).
On the other side, the 56% on FG and 63 on 3PT helps too. It was a game with two "weak defending" teams. The PO will be done or not depending on the games against teams that defend well.

Re: Minnesota @ Phoenix
Only was able to watch the first half...but I was really impressed how the Wolves were looking to make the extra pass. Last year someone would have just chucked a mid-range jumper instead of working the ball to Pek like they did on a number of occasions.
With Rubio I thought we'd get to the 6th seed, at least. I still think we'll take the 8th.

Re: Minnesota @ Phoenix
Very important win! The game wasn't/isn't available in my location (Spain) in leaguepass so i couldn't watch it, but it seems like no one played defense today.
I'm glad to see Pek take 17 shots, and Ellington starting at the SG spot. Only but, I'd like to see more Beasley and less Webster (Unless we are exhibiting him to trade him).

martell was starting at the 2 and would only move to the 3 when wayne came in..dwill also played a few minutes at small forward as well but i wish beas had got another 10 minutes, he was in one of those zones but it was tough distributing on a night like this with lots of people playing well offensively.

Re: Minnesota @ Phoenix
What do you think is the reason why Wayne hasn't played more minutes last month???
I used to think about it when I didn't see him at the rotation, only playing garbage minutes. He's not a superstar, it's obvious but I see him as a valid player for us. Like a 9th or 10th player at the rotation
OFFTOPIC
Watching the game yesterday I fell in love Katye Christensen. She was interviewed at the fourth quarter. I never heard about her before
The biggest surprise was to know that she is a basketball pro-player. I normally don't like women profesionals of basketball. They are bigger, stronger and taller than I usually like. Obviously, Katye is the exception to that rule.
What a woman!!
