It's that time of the year again. Time to see how Our Beloved Puppies Zombies are doing compared to last year and earlier in the season. Click on the link to read below the fold.
We're going to narrow things down from here on out because this post in its previous iterations was a big gangly. Here are the team's shooting details from after 20:
65% | .427 | 57% | 46.4 | 67% | .451 | 65% | 48.0 | ||
29% | .553 | 48% | 27.0 | 25% | .586 | 54% | 23.3 | ||
3% | .890 | 70% | 5.1 | 6% | .928 | 79% | 8.5 | ||
2% | .598 | 0% | 1.9 | 2% | .478 | 0% | 1.3 | ||
100% | .484 | 53% | 80.4 | 100% | .513 | 62% | 81.1 |
Here they are after 40:
62% | .411 | 63% | 42.5 | 68% | .456 | 59% | 49.3 | ||
33% | .541 | 47% | 29.8 | 26% | .565 | 49% | 23.7 | ||
3% | .921 | 67% | 4.3 | 5% | .942 | 78% | 6.8 | ||
2% | .548 | 0% | 2.1 | 2% | .620 | 0% | 1.6 | ||
100% | .471 | 55% | 78.8 | 100% | .509 | 56% | 81.5 |
The thing that jumps out here is the slight uptick in close range shots. These stats do not tell you how much better the Wolves are shooting from 3 and how many more long balls they are taking. I'll fix this problem in next year's splits. We'll keep track of that number.

The MVP over the last 20 is clearly Randy Foye. Check out what has happened at the 2. The Wolves now have 2 functional positions. Also check out what is happening at the 4. Kevin Love is stabilizing that spot by moving Gomes out of his extended minutes there. Once Love holds down the starting spot at the 4 look for the Wolves to have 3 functional positions.

What you need to notice here is that the Wolves have increased their eFG, increased their ratio of offensive rebounds collected/opponent offensive rebounds limited by +1.3, and done a better job of keeping their opponents away from the free throw line. I'm a bit surprised their pace didn't quicken more than it did.

After 40:
A few things to note:
- Foye had an incredible series of 20 games
- Brian Cardinal started to take care of the ball
- Kevin Ollie was playing like a Super Bassy
- Bassy started to get to the line more
- Mike Miller's free throw shooting is scary
