Game Blog: Wolves @ Spurs - Jan. 9

[NASpurs]

There are times when I miss the big slow stiff known as Rasho Nesterovic.

[frodo]

triggas missed so many rebounds tbh, gonna be a shame if Milicic & Love both get double-doubles as the final whistle sounds, despite the final result of the game

[frodo]

triggas need to rebound better in the 2nd half tbh

[Spurs Brazil]

DAMN, it looks like Grant Hill hurt his knee

[ElNono]

I like the fact that Love doesn't have 15-15 in the first half. Hope we can keep it up.
Hill's energy level is in the right place, but he's really missing shots he always make.

[frodo]

Tony traveled lol.

Manu needs to have the ball in his hands more. Tony ballhogs it from Manu way too much, IMO. Manu is the star on our team. Our Kobe.

Trade Blair already, please. At least Bonner is doing other things offensively besides 3's lately. Start Tiago and reserve McDyess.

trade blair to dallas for a 2nd rounder + cash, get it done soon please

That doesn't make any sense, as Blair doesn't show anything night after night, save for the occasional (and increasingly rare) beast game. Also, it's not the case that Splitter hasn't shown promise this season, particularly when he's playing with Parker and/or Manu.

So, we'll have wait until next year, when everyone's got another grueling year under their belts. Hey, it's not like there's a sense of urgency, right? Tim, Manu and TP can just keep playing forever.

I completely agree. I would make Dice the starter and sub in Splitter early to keep him playing with Duncan. But Pop is the coach and he obviously has other plans.

On the Spurs or on the Timberwolves?

I don't know now. You made me doubt myself. Has it gotten that bad in the play of our big men that I miss those puffy cheeks?

[Fireball]

Lakers will lose and it won't even go down to the wire, IMO. They're ing slow and can only beat slow unathletic teams who miss open shots. The Knicks fit none of that criteria and will likely beat them, 112-95 or something of the like.

I am hoping for that too ... and lucky as the Spurs are our two game losing streak did not hurt us much because the other West teams are losing quite a bit as well ...

[Fireball]

Is Grant Hill ok?

[CFH]

Timmy putback

what kind of a double agent are you?

[NASpurs]

Great now we're trading baskets. Woooo

[DPG21920]

TP getting mugged.

[TDfan2007]

[Spurs Brazil]

Great start TD

[TDfan2007]

ugh terrible floater...

[DPG21920]

Why didn't Tim go right back up after that offensive rebound? He passed out then ended up with a tougher shot that Darko blocked.

Why does Tim struggle with Darko?

[dbestpro]

Blair still playing like a spectator.

[timtonymanu]

Parker took too long with that.

[DPG21920]

Good transition defense by the Wolves. Then they force the turnover. That was very impressive.

[Ice009]

LOL shocking defense.
