Minnesota Timberwolves at Los Angeles Clippers, Nov 23, 2009 9:30 PM CST
Last time they faced the Clips, the Wolves were oh so close to a win. But Chris Kaman manhandled Minnesota down low and Rasual Butler, Eric Gordon and Baron Davis all scored in double figures. Corey Brewer and Ryan Gomes each shot 29%, taking 21 and 14 shots respectively. It's just not a good recipe.
Tonight the Wolves won't have to contend with Gordon (out with a strained groin), but they'll be facing a Clippers team coming off of a big win in Denver. The key to getting off the 12-game losing streak will be what it has been for all 12 losses: teamwork. Limit turnovers (they beat LA 12-18 last time), move the ball to find open shots and force the feast or famine Clippers to take jump shots (Davis and Butler shoot less than 40%) all night by denying entry passes and collapsing on penetration (Kaman and DeAndre Jordan play well against the Wolves, unlike.... wait, like everyone else). I know, easier said (like, oh say, 13 times before) than done.
Can you tell it's getting tougher and tougher to imagine scenarios where the Wolves pull out a win?
See our brethren at Clips Nation for the other side.

Pins and Needles
so nervous for this game: at what point will the Wolves offense shut down? Before the first half? Midway into the 3rd quarter? When will Sessions run the offense perfectly but then gets benched inexplicably? How many times will Brewer treat the basketball like a Caveman would treat a hair dryer? Will this be the game that convinces Rambis to abandon the triangle and try a differently-shaped offense? Perhaps switch to a Rhombus? A Trapezoid?
Wolves Nation awaits with baited breath!

We can guard these guys right?
I am not seeing the monster mismatches. Kaman and Baron will give us trouble, but not necessarily lethally so, right?
We match up reasonably well I think
Because there are no fours.

Perhaps
I’m thinking tonight, “why not?” We beat the Nets, and came close to beating these guys (as well as the Celtics and some other teams) prior to our last 8 game skid of huge margin losses. I kinda wonder how much losing to Boston crushed some of our guys’ spirit, and whether the law of averages will catch up with this team tonight and we’ll somehow end up with a win? It’s bound to happen sometime, statistically speaking sooner rather than later (it’s highly unlikely to flip a coin and get tails 13+ times in row is what I’m referencing, even given the lack of talent on this team).
As for the Sessions inexplicable benched comment, I think the explanation is Rambis giving other guys the chance to learn how to play and execute when they need to. I spent some time looking at the Wolves’ +/- on 82games today, and two things stuck out to me (well, three technically, but two are sort of the opposite sides of the same coin):
1. Corey Brewer really is impacting the game positively. Just look at the difference between when he’s on the court versus when he’s off it. He has taken the Shane Battier Chair of Boxscore Undervaluation from Brian Cardinal so far this year.
2. Brewer’s impact is all the more impressive considering how poorly our starters are meshing right now. Jefferson, Flynn, and Hollins are really struggling to produce together. Gomes is doing his usual thing of steady mediocrity.
3. Our second unit is definitely ahead of our starters in grasping the offense and defense, and it shows. Enough said.

Why can't Blount come play for us?..He's gotta be better than Hollins or Jawai
by TonyO on Nov 23, 2009 9:45 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Better at scoring?
Yes, easily. Worse at everything else, not to mention a terrible locker room presence; being too old and against most of what we’re starting to implement here doesn’t help either.

Clippers are such a poorly coached team, we should stay in this one until the end.

You can always count on Pech to take shots. Sometimes he even makes them!
We really miss Klove. It’s hard to take them seriously as far as building for the future (WEIRD the announcer said that phrase AS I was typing it!) when they can’t even secure rebounds.

He's a chucker
but our second unit is so terrible at offense, a forced Oily J is sometimes a decent option for them. Sort of like the 07-08 Shaddy, but not quite as good.
by Andy G on Nov 23, 2009 10:07 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
You really think our second unit is bad at offense?
I think Stewie’s playing like (yup, I’m going there) a poor man’s Toni Kukoc on a bad team, in that he’s taking so many shots because he gets how he’s supposed to rotate to the open spot, catch the pass, and drain the shot. He’s looking better at doing that than just about any of the Wolf I’ve seen, so I’m not sure what all the hatin’ is about. According to 82games various +/- stats, he’s easily one of the most valuable Wolves right now.

Not trying to hate Oily...

I cannot stand watching our team when Flynn and Jefferson are sitting. It’s atrocious. But Oily seems to knock down a few shots here and there and has kept us in a few games, like the Boston game.

I think you could make the case that that is worse than ‘eye-rainian’. Obviously because he has pigmented skin and a funny name they think he is from some backwater African country. Right? Insane. These guys have been doing this – as he just said – for well over a decade. At least we know the Wolves franchise will NEVER be this effed up.
Not that I am offended, just think it is hilarious that the owner JUST got busted for judging people on skin color and the announcers just did the same -AGAIN, without realizing it.

It's a fair question
He’s certainly not worse than Pecherov

Gah we had this one
Just too many turnovers and we couldn’t keep them off the offensive glass. This is the fourth game we would have won if we had just rebounded.

This Wolves team is in serious need of an ego check...
…goin and gettin all big-headed on us. Some modesty and an 18-game losing steak ought to teach them a lesson on remaining humble.

Jesse Ventura?
He’d maybe be interested.

Do you guys think Minnesota will beat Utah on Dec. 5?
I might be going to that game. I’m usually pretty lucky when I go to Timberwolves games. They’re about 60% when I watch them.

sounds like a pitch
for free season tickets. If you’re their amulet, the front office would be well advised to hand over that season pass right now.

One small positive from tonight
it’s highly unlikely that any Clippers fans are going to wade in here and be all, “Hey tough break, guys, we know how you feel. Don’t worry, maybe you’ll be as awesome as us in a few years. In the meantime, thanks for trading us all of your wily veterans.”

Allusion City?
A Rose Garden by any other name

Fantasy
Seriously Al just killed my team with his eight turnovers. How does it always seem that Brewer is the one taking the last shot? We have at least cut his number of FG down from the low 20’s to the low teens but then he goes and takes five 3’s! He needs to keep like a clicker and when it hits five or six shots he must pass no matter what. He would be so much better then.

At least Corey's not taking 20 shots a game
That’s something, right?

He's the only one that moves without the ball...
…as such, he’s the only one that gets reasonably open looks. Not that it matters to the likes of Pecherov (White Hole never got a touch he couldn’t get a shot up) or AlJeff (Damn the triple team, I’mna shoot this!), and granted, Brewer has an amazingly high airball rate….

I don’t have a computer at home and I just want ya’ll to know how much I love reading these after the fact. Maybe someday I’ll move into the 20th century!!
Keep it up guys. We’ll win a game one of these days!!
