Minnesota Timberwolves at Phoenix Suns, Mar 16, 2010 8:00 PM MDT
Coaches Notes:
- After missed a few games with "flu", Darko Milicic will play and should start
- Kevin Love will also play - he's had a sprained right foot. Love is backing up Jefferson because obviously the T-wolves have decided they can't play Love and Jefferson together. Fun times
- Rambis said the Tucker has some good NBA skills and is a good inside playing 2/3 but his shot is off balance and he has some weaknesses in his game. He doesn't see him breaking their rotation
- Gentry said the T-wolves do a good job in the pinch post (makes sense since Love and Jeff are both good passers) and they are good finding cutters for layups. They also like to push the ball with Flynn and Sessions when they can
- Gentry wasn't aware that Amare had lost 28lb since the start of the season. When pressed to explain his recent high-level of play, Gentry said that they don't care "why" he's playing well as long as he continues
- Gentry likes fried food - doesn't partake in the health food craze sweeping the Suns locker room
- LB and Hill will play. Grant should play his normal rotation/minutes with LB trying to pick up some minutes where he can (unless it's a blow out)

Stat of the night
Only 5 teams have a winning record in every season since 04-05.
Suns, Cavs, Spurs, Mavs and Nuggets
Suns will secure their winning season w/ a W tonight

The T-wolves are a sneaky
scary team who I really think are not THAT far off from being good. If they can add a true scoring guard I think this team could contend for a playoff spot. Flynn is a jet out there and is going to blow by Mr. Nash on a few occasions. Corey Brewer is a big athletic guy who is an all around stat stuffer who may give Hill some problems and also Love and Jefferson are a handful to say the last down low…Amare will do just fine as he is much more athletic and quicker than the two but I think Lopez is going to be bossed around tonight in the post.

Also...
before the Goran Dragic experiment succeeded I was really hoping the Suns would of made a run at Sessions for there back up PG and maybe even PG of the future…He had some great games in Milwaukee last season and is a really fun player to watch run the floor.
"I don't care what people think, people are stupid."-Charles Barkley
I was thinking that as well.
I like Sessions a lot…it’s too bad he’s gone to a team that drafted two point guards in last year’s draft.

Well...
Do you ever think Rubio is ever actually going to wear a Minnesota jersey? he doesn’t want to be there and I have to imagine the fans feel disrespected by him. I think Flynn will develop into a damn good PG…maybe Jameer Nelson but a little better?

Brewer
Isn’t Corey Brewer a defensive specialist? If I thought he could shoot, I’d want him. I’ll find out whether he’s a FA this summer.
Brewer...
was a brick specialist when he first entered the league but his shot has defiantly improved by a lot. 13 PPG, 42% FG, 35% three…That’s not bad considering at times he is expected to burden the scoring load on a pretty horrible, young, inexperienced team.

Lopez will fair against Jefferson? Another big bodied strong post guy…It seems like every since Lopez dominated the Clippers in the first game since then people have him scouted pretty well…In that second game Kaman seemed to have his way with him.

Amundson is having a good night. From the vague descriptions of former Sun Kurt Rambis that I have heard (he left the Suns just before I became a fan), Amundson sounds like Kurt Rambis—doesn’t usually score much, but plays hard and worked his way up from obscurity.
Rambis had a little more offensive ability than Amundsen
Probably a better rebounder but nowwhere the energy..

Worst call ever by you...
Real men get Posterized. Real men. It is only posers that are scared.
Lopez gave the suns the best chance to stop that play, and that is what you SHOULD do.
And besides that, they now know that you come to the hole, we’ll go after you. That is toughness.
Sorry, I started with worst call ever on another post
I meant to have no heading :)
would you call jermaine o'neal or shawn bradley a man?
he only get dunked on cause hes guarding the big man and hes the help defense.
If you don;t try...
you never get posterized.
There is an obsession with this that is just silly – you gotta go for the play.
Do you want to help your team win?
No matter what you look like?
What I hate about the NBA is the posing. When a guy goes for a block, he is making a play with a swing of 2 points. That is massive.

He's shot remarkably better this season.
Can’t deny him that much. He’s proven to be a decent option on the offensive end this season. Not close to being a good offensive player, but not as much of a liability as he was when he came into the league.

Steve Nash, the league's MVP, is a longhaired Canadian who spoke out against the war in Iraq and reads The Communist Manifesto. Quentin Richardson declared after a game-winning shot that it "was like Hamlet. It was a suspense thriller, and I killed them at the end." Amare Stoudemire, when asked to comment on a 22-point third quarter against the Kings, said, "I've got a tendency to jump over some guys' heads and throw it down."

so hard to say goodbye
Jason Richardson is great, but he still makes an awful lot of money. I don’t want him traded, but it would be understandable.
J Rich will be around for this season and probably next...
If we don’t trade him (which he will be a very valuable expiring deal) I wouldn’t mind bringing him back for a much lower salary. I think he really likes it here in the Valley.

Minnesota makes me sick.
Their fans must be mortified at how this game is going. We’re on for 155-160.
you know...
they aren’t that far off from being a decent NBA team…If they can get a true scoring number 2 to pair along with Flynn Brewer and Jefferson…and Also Rambis needs to figure out how to play Love and Jefferson together…I don’t know how he can’t get that to work.
"I don't care what people think, people are stupid."-Charles Barkley
Jefferson possibly won't be there past this year so that is another problem they'll have.
If Kahn didn’t screw up the draft so badly, there was a possibility this team could have 15-20 more wins. But that’s what happens when you employ David Kahn.
I hope Tucker gets at least 10
