GameThread #3: Wolves @ OKC Thunder

argh…. it’s worked every game until now. just sits there at 98% loaded…… anybody have any ideas?

only have the box score/gamecast to go on but foye looks terrible! 6 AST to five TO, no field goals? and where has love been all game, is he just not getting any minutes? with just 3:30 to go i don’t like the feel of this one bit.

Soooo… Down by 3, 16 seconds remaining. Coming out of a timeout, the Wolves draw up a play to get the ball to Foye, who’s 0-for-9? (0-for-10 now).

foye keeps missing in the fourth period, now 0-10! combining with our other shoot first death matcher to hurl 1 for 16 tonight. and where’s love while we’re getting massacred on the boards? i just want some answers.

I Know we are in a Rebuilding Mode and all, But this shouldn’t be happening, We have the Wrong Head coach to be leading this club in the rebuilding mode, Randy Wittman Sucked in Cleveland and HE SUCKS HERE, He Made KG Look Like Fricken Ndudi Ebi for god sake, FIRE THIS IDIOT. We Need a Better Coach that this to lead us in the Rebuilding Process.

again, i didn’t see the game but were the coaching decisions at the end as awful as they appear to have been? this game just makes no sense to me.

maybe dwayne casey put some sort of coaching hex on the team when he visited last night?

and starts at PG, Because Foye was one of the stupidest mistakes McHale did, Trading Brandon Roye for Randy Foye, Come on.

Oh well.

I was going to mention that Corey Brewer looked great down the stretch, generating a lot of pressure on the perimeter just like his Gator days. He may never be able to score in the halfcourt, but if he can mark guys like Durant like he was doing for stretches tonight, he’ll have a role.

I agree Love should be finishing games. Witt’s watching other rookies doing it right in front of his face (Thompson; Westbrook tonight); Love’s been just as impressive as them, so I don’t see what Witt’s doing. I like Gomes. He’s smart, hustles, all that. I just don’t care to see him at the 4 in crunchtime.

Foye and McCants were both brutal tonight. Also, Mike Miller will show up eventually, but he’s been rather pedestrian thus far.

The Sonics…er…Thunder also got too many transition opps down the stretch. Of course a made bucket once in a while could have remedied that a bit.

its not that foye is really so much the problem — it’s hard to tell since he’s being misused and miscoached so badly. this whole scheme with him starting at the point was rotten, and there’s a complete lack of imagination in trying to figure out how he can prosper. in the meantime the routine of him sucking and getting benched for ollie or whoever and then next time out being given the ball with 17 seconds left can’t be good for his head; his whole game is draining away.

and he draws it up to have Gomes take the 3? I don’t get that at all. Foye is becoming frustrating at the PG….

With the Spurs coming, this might not be a pretty start to the season.

I didn’t see the game (you got mail snp) but I just wanted to mention Brewer again shooting 40%. I’m gonna stick on this guys band wagon for at least the full year this time. Shouldn’t have doubted after being so happy we picked him.

That was a bad collapse late in the game. I thought the Wolves were close to finishing the game off in the third, just couldn’t find that killer blow, and then they slowly started falling apart.

I felt the bench players where in there too long, and did too much damage. By the time the starters came back OKC had all the momentum, and the Wolves couldn’t regain any fluidity to their play.

Foye sucks. It’s obvious to anyone that watches him and actually knows basketball.

Good luck with him and his “potential.” He’s already 25 yo and had 4 years of college ball. He will never be better than what he is right now… and that’s not very good. I’d rather roll with Telfair and trade McCants/Foye for whatever we can get. Draft one of the young stud PG’s in this year’s draft.

It definitely still should be called the “Death Match.”
