PrintMinnesota Timberwolves at Oklahoma City Thunder, Feb 26, 2010 7:00 PM CST
Not at all basketball related, but this is definitely in my top 10 songs of 2009 and it's been going through my head all day. And it has the word "thunder" in the title.
Welcome to Loud City isn't tired of comparing Minnesota and Oklahoma City's rebuilding processes.
Enjoy the game.

Wow, they look like crap
Stupid, stupid mistakes.
"Never make predictions, especially about the future." Casey Stengel
I don't know what was more pathetic just there...
Jonny leading the break, or Al’s attempt at a foul…
"I'm gonna make you cry...I'm gonna make you cry and dip my cookie in your tears!!!"
If you are going to foul a scoring machine...
…FOUL him, don’t just tap the guy. He weighs like 120 pounds.

Does anyone on our team
ever send a “message” foul? That would have been the appropriate time to do it.

Ramon and Sasha have..
..but I agree. If you are getting bum-rushed…. every once in a while ya just gotta knock somebody into the third row (in a non-dirty way of course).

What is going on with the feed?
They have multiple audio tracks going over each other. It’s insanity.
Unwatchable
on NBA league pass. They have decided to do a PIP deal with the production booth taking up the bottom left corner of the screen. If that is not enough, they are allow the booth to “talk over” the announcers!! It is one big pile of pooh!!
plus..
…it’s all in Okie American ;)

Darko and Love are like...
…Bassy and Rhino. They just click. Too bad Love couldn’t handle the pass and Darko couldn’t finish off of Love’s pass.
'It's just noise coming out of an ugly scientist.' Michael Scott
Darko doesn't seem like an overly aggressive rebounder...
Whereas Love is. Problem with All and Kevin is they instinctively go to the same places…which is bad.

OK..
….either Jefferson has reverted to a non-functional player or he is really hurt. What say you?
Forever splitting the Cheechakos from the Sourdoughs
www.canishoopus.com
he can hardly move out there
Forever splitting the Cheechakos from the Sourdoughs
www.canishoopus.com
he looks the same on defense..
…but on offense it’s bad.
Forever splitting the Cheechakos from the Sourdoughs
www.canishoopus.com
He has to be hurt
has to be. When he ‘fouled’ Durant he gave no indication at all that he might try to jump to block it. None. He just jogged back and swiped at him. If he is not hurt I would trade him for a rack of balls and Gatorade. Okay not really.
'It's just noise coming out of an ugly scientist.' Michael Scott
I've noticed it the most..
…on offense. He’s unable to make counter moves off of his patented move where he dips his left shoulder into the lane. He can’t spin off of this or get any lift/separation. The defense is a joke, perhaps more than usual, but why are they playing him if he’s hurt? I don’t get it at all. He looks terrible out there and if he’s not hurt, then he’s worth less than a rack of balls and Gatorade.
Forever splitting the Cheechakos from the Sourdoughs

He always goes for the strip
and almost never challenges guys up top anymore. If he doesn’t strip it, it’s either a foul or an easy shot over the top because he’s nailed to the ground and his arms are down.

Oh yes, now you're talking. Such a great scene
and he articulates that line so well, with the pause, then “the cuckoo clock” in an ascending tone. No wonder he could not do ads for frozen peas (in July). If you like the opening scene of Touch of Evil, the Venice architecture where it was shot is still much in tact.

"I'm gonna make you cry...I'm gonna make you cry and dip my cookie in your tears!!!"
the announcers just said
that they dont like loves three point shooting because you shouldn’t have your 7 footers outside the lane…….

…they didn’t like Love’s bereave joint tooting because 7 footers shouldn’t be allowed to ride in pain. It’s hard to tell with these guys.

Seriously, this can’t go on all year. Our guys retreat uder the basket every time. How can Rambis not get them to simply stop the ball after 2/3 of a season?

They have to start the second unit, then bring in the 1st unit as subs

Westbrook + Durant
is vastly better than anything we have right now. Those two would pound us no matter who we trot out there.

To recap:
Some of us like soju, some prefer sake. The temp of the sake also matters. Orson Welles was a drunk mofo who did some funny stuff on camera. He also made some great movies. The Mavs-Hawks game was great. For some reason the dumbest person on Earth decided it would be cool to split the League Pass screen to show 2 idiots in the control truck talking – during the damn game while the actual announcers were talking.
Oh, and we suck and are bitter the Sonics got better picks and did better with them than we did.
Any questions?

I just threw up a little
Wow. Are we winning 3 games? Twenty wins seems like a pipe dream right now.

We could lose every single one.

Rambis has to settle on rotations for a while.....to give players a routine..
try a starting team of
Jefferson
Love
Gomes/brewer
Ellington
Sessions….
Give them some playing time together……
