Is Minny D'ing him up that good? or what?

Why has Manu been missing so many FT's this season???

[RashoFan]

Manu 20 beat me to the post...:lol

[ALVAREZ6]

He doesnt take forced shots.

All his shots are taken off of pick and rolls and isos, watch a game before commenting stooge.


And as a starter hes shooting 44%.
I do watch games, and in all that I've watched he's always got a guy in his face.

[ALVAREZ6]

Bruce is pimpin it.

[milkyway21]

I'd be pissed even if the spurs can pull this through. This is the 2nd time this season we played bad against the Wolves (esp TD). Tonight it seems we'll win again just bec. KG is in foul trouble.

this team is not ready yet for a repeat...

[RashoFan]

Kandi with OFF Foul, Tony got hit in the Grion area (possibly) He slowly got up with assist.

[milkyway21]

[Pistons < Spurs]

KG is back in he has 5 fouls so far...TD just picked up his 3rd


ESPN and Yahoo show KG w/ 4......CBS Sportsline shows 5. Anyone know which is accurate.......In my experience, CBS is very poor on their box scores typically, so I'm more inclined to believe Yahoo.

[milkyway21]

ESPN and Yahoo show KG w/ 4......CBS Sportsline shows 5. Anyone know which is accurate.......In my experience, CBS is very poor on their box scores typically, so I'm more inclined to believe Yahoo...nba.com posting 5 fouls on KG.

Duncan was just cold even some 3 footer went in and came out that looked in but for his credit he came up big in the 2nd, even before Garnett went out.

MVP this game though is Parker by far with Bowen also key.

[T Park]

Nesterovic has played Great defense tonight on Garnett.

But the haters wont want to admit that....

Theyll look at his stats and say how horrible a game he played.
