Minnesota @ Denver

There will be no random swiping defense tonight!

Will the Wolves be able to play some full-court D against the up-tempo Nuggets? Will they continue to attack the lane and get to the line? Will Shaddy once again be the leading scorer? Will we see over 20 3PA in the game? Will Bassy and Foye see time together in the backcourt? Can we finally get a glimpse of the Bassy, Foye, Miller, Love, Jefferson lineup? Since this is the 1st game to be broadcast on KFAN, will former Bloomington Jefferson Jaguar Kevin Lynch step up to the plate or will he fail like former Bloomington Jefferson Jaguar Lane Kiffin? Isn't it true that eventually all Bloomington Jefferson Jaguars fail?

All these questions and more...tonight in Denver at 8 CST. You can listen to the game by clicking here.

You’d better believe it. I already said it made my day seeing Corey finish a 3point play while somewas was sitting on his shoulders. He really was like pounding his chest after that.

I’m not saying 3 point shooting is gonna be his thing, not at all, but the guy is CONFIDENT, and that was about 70% of what he lacked last season. I hope he can carry it true.

Confidence boost

He probably needs it after this play. You probably don’t even need to click the link to know what it is…

Maybe he’ll disprove the theory that he’s a rich-man’s Ndudi Ebi this year.

I think that's a once-in-a-lifetime...

…sort of thing. I think he’ll have a good season, but…you’re right: wtf?! I’m going to guess “that play” is his blown dunk and missed layup in the last game of the season. It was brutal. I still think he should be fined for every 3 he takes.

I agree...

…“wtf” is right! Then again stranger things have happened… I like to think of Tracy McGrady as someone Brewer might try to emulate (not that he’ll be as good, but hey I can dream), and I remember during McGrady’s first few years in the league, before he bulked up (he used to look a lot like Brewer), all the coaches, commentators, etc. were advising him to stay away from the long-range stuff. Then about halfway through his 3rd year he started hitting the 3 with pretty good consistency, to the point that during his best years in Orlando, at least, it turned into a real weapon for him. So…who knows? I’ve always said I think Brewer’s shooting form is really nice, and remember during his last final four he was hitting the college 3 with consistency. Maybe if he keeps bulking up he could become a decent shooter from out there.

Speaking of McGrady, I just looked up his stats…man, his stats with Houston are really mediocre. Well for someone with his talent at least. His assists are impressive but everything else is really subpar. Is it just the injuries? I always thought that on talent alone, he should be pretty much unstoppable.

Oh nice point by Wim too about confidence, I agree that it’s Brewer’s main issue, if he can get that worked out the sky’s the limit.

That comment was really just an excuse to post that video. :-(

Not only did Brewer make four threes

Kenyon Martin and Chris “The Birdman” Andersen each made a three as well.

There was something weird going on at the Pepsi Center last night.

He got the headband back!

Whatever it is...

…he’s looked good so far this preseason. Here’s hoping it continues this year.

That'll do it

Science shows that players who wear headbands are 39% more likely to be awesome.

:D. Though that comment was not to be taken seriously, there might be some truth about it. Look at AI keeping the elbow thingy because he got used to it. Sometimes the smallest thing can make a big psychological impact … though his offseason work will off course be the bigger factor here ;)
