Hoopus: Two for two on using Palin in Maverick GameThreads!

Tonight our beloved Timberwolves take on Mark Cuban and his Mavericks. Game notes to prep:

  • Dirk Nowitzki was suspended for the last game for getting incited into elbowing Matt Harpring in the face. He'll be playing tonight.
  • Unfortunately for the Wolves, Josh Howard, Jason Kidd and Jason Terryare all scheduled to play.
  • The Mavs don't have a great post-presence on offense, so Big Al shouldn't get tired out on D. Between DeSagana Diop and Erick Dampier, however, Al will have plenty of bruisers to deal with on offense. They seemed to give him enough trouble in their first matchup this season, as Al got 14 points on 5-15 shooting.
  • Mike Miller is supposedly a game time decision. But, something gives me a sneaking suspicion that he won't be playing at all.
  • Randy Foye over the last 5 games: 19.2ppg, 2.6apg, 6.6rpg, on 49% shooting. Not All-Star numbers, and the rebounds are up because of a 16 board game, but 4th Quarter Foyebles is quietly putting together a very strong December.

1. McCants + 2nd round pick for Sean Williams (interior defense)

2. Craig Smith + 2nd round pick for Marcus Williams & CJ Watson (depth at guard)

Those are terrible deals.

I’d be for trading either McCants and/or Smith, but those deals are just giving them away for players with less value.

There is absolutely ZERO interior defense. Not just the effort, but there’s literally no Wolf in the paint while the Mavs shoot layup after layup, interspersed with the occasional three from Terry (or even KIDD).

…it’s that bad. He was clueless. How many timeouts did they end the game with? They didn’t foul with how many timeouts left? Good lord. What sort of 4th rate JV coach do you need to be to not understand this sort of thing? When Al is being fronted by a 7 footer and they sag 2 defenders on the backside, you would think a pro team could adjust. You would think that a basketball genius would be able to relay this sort of basic information to his players in a timeout.

I have no idea how to coach a basketball team. None.

But you know what I would have done in the 3rd period when the Mavs cut it down to say, 12-15? Send in the Love/Cardinal/McCants/Telfair/Jefferson lineup that was absolutely brutalizing the Mavs in the 2nd.

Because...

…it happened to Dwayne Casey. I like that. Karma is a nasty bitch and it couldn’t have happened more perfectly.

So in 2008 OJ is drafted by the Timberwolves and looks like someone just ran over his dog

I predict in 2009 the Timberwolves will draft Ricky Rubio and he’ll start crying like Carlo Rizzi when he’s outed by Michael Corleone.

i actually looked at this the other day,

since the 02 draft, only 1 non black player has been an allstar (Yao), and only 1 white player drafted in the lottery has been decent (dunleavy). so lets hope the love machine breaks the mold. also, i haven’t yet looked at the success of lottery picks that look like crackheads, but i didnt assume it was good, and now that brewer is out for the year, it doesn’t look like they have a high success rate, either.
