Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

GameThread: vs. Golden State

Golden State Warriors at Minnesota Timberwolves, Jan 2, 2009 7:00 PM CST


340x_medium

I hope you don't like defense, because tonight we take on Nellie-ball. And, if our front office has got you down lately, at least we're not dealing with the drama that Golden State is.

Mike Miller may or may not be returning tonight, depending on who gets the final word.

I'll be at the game myself, so keep it clean in here. I look forward to seeing how many flags roundhouse gets from College Wolf tonight.

See Golden State of Mind for your Warriors needs. They're one of the biggest NBA blog communities out there.

yes they've tipped off Aus...

i’ll be flipping channels….Its wolves/Gophers Hockey Night tonight.

by Tony_O on Jan 2, 2009 7:11 PM CST reply actions  

Foye could really bother Belinelli...

…I don’t know why Crawford’s not bringing up the ball.

by plinytheelder on Jan 2, 2009 7:13 PM CST reply actions  

I'm Sorry...But Craig Smith Shouldnt be starting...

Hes only 6’7…we need Size on the court…Start Kevin Love….hes 6’10…plus it gives him experience….Hell..Start Calvin Booth damnit…Hes 6’11 or Jason Collins who is 7’0 !!!!!!!

by Tony_O on Jan 2, 2009 7:15 PM CST reply actions  

False Reporting....

Zgoda said Miller was Returning tonight….

by Tony_O on Jan 2, 2009 7:15 PM CST reply actions  

Size, Size, Size

Not quite sure why we are still playing small or smaller ball.

I think we should think about at least playing our youth and the “future” of the team if we aren’t going to put out bigger guys to match up better with other teams.

I Enjoy Telfair @ Point Guard

Bassy really brings some energy…And Foye is Better at Shooting Guard.

by Tony_O on Jan 2, 2009 7:17 PM CST reply actions  

nice energy for the Wolves here

either they’re really up for this game or the announcers are right, GS is a bit tired

Shot clock violations are inexcusable.

It shouldn’t ever happen, yet the Wolves have a few each game. How infuriating.

I shouldn’t be surprised by how poorly coached the team is, but I guess I still have delusions of this season showing improvement.
