4/1 'Zurs vs. MINN Game Thread: MUST LOSE GAME TONIGHT!!!

[B-Roy]

LOL at Nic stat padding.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Nice last second shot Nic!

 

[Nikolokolus]

Blerg. Way to fuck up the tank

Whomever made the thread, make another "must lose game" thread tomorrow.

Btw, Flynn and hickson have a good timing thing going. They really look good on the two man game.

L-Train fucked Kevin Love up tonight.

The match-up would have looked even more lopsided in LA's favor if nearly half of Love's points didn't come off of trashy, gifted foul calls.

Yeah that was some bullshit. I wish our allstar actually got allstar calls like love.

 

[B-Roy]

Tonight's game is a prime example of why Hickson will be a good player as long as he keeps up his effort. He had nothing in the first half and still ended with 15/9 because he hustles and makes the right play.

Aldridge definitely showed who owns the match-up when both players guard each other

He is treading on replacing Wallace as a fan favorite. I love how he hustles on the boards. If we can do this all season, we would be contending for top 4 playoff seeding. If our team would just fucking play consistent. We'll see tomorrow. I don't even remember when the last two in a row we won.

Offense is just different with Felton instead of Flynn. I'm surprised Felton has more assists. They just seem to get open look after open look with Flynn running the point.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Flynn has a knack for creating wide open shots for his teammmates.

 

[BBert]

Trick question. The best pickup was Flynn To Hickson!

Flynnsanity to Hicksanity, with Hey Bab-bitt on the wing. Nice combo off the bench next season.

OH, well. Can't lose 'em all. At this rate, I predict we finish 12th.

Question is, do we root for the Nyets or the Blazers on Wednesday?

 

[RoyToy]

Loved how Hickson caught the ball 18ft from the basket, made a quick move and blew past his defender for an easy layup

He's a keeper. Will be pretty upset if the Blazers don't keep him at this point.

 

[Pinwheel1]

The Blazer offense looks a lot better when all 5 guys on the floor are threats to score. Camby and Pryz have their strengths, but offense is not one of them. I was very frustrated watching Camby on offense.

Ummm ... Fuck ... The Blazers I guess? (Reasoning is that the difference between the 12th and the 11th pick isn't quite as important as the difference between 5th and 6th).

You should always be cheering for the Blazers to win.

Ummm ... Fuck ... The Blazers I guess? (Reasoning is that the difference between the 12th and the 11th pick isn't quite as important as the difference between 5th and 6th).

The projected guys from 10-15 are the same (prospect wise) as far as I'm concerned. Being higher helps though if a team reaches for a player earlier in the lottery which leaves a better prospect on the board late in the lottery.

 

[BBert]

Agreed. Also, the Nyets have been winning a bit too much for my taste. Gotta root for the home team this time. I'll be at the game -- it'll be fun.

 

[KingSpeed]

Goddamn, it's stunning how long this team has gone without adequate point guard play (minus the brief stint with Miller) Flynn is like a an oasis in the desert ... trouble is I can't tell if it's a mirage or not.

Andre Miller?

LA totally got in his head - Love disappeared in the second half after that confrontation. Thing of beauty.

 

[PapaG]

Nice to see LMA go and play Stat Beast even tonight. 6 3pt attempts for Love? LMAO

What an overrated player.

 

[PapaG]

Babbitt again looked like an NBA player. Just saying...

 

[PapaG]

Andre Miller?

He mentioned Miller. Still, Miller wasn't dynamic at all, and tended to dominate the ball.

He wasn't the same after that was he. He was not as aggressive.

It was about time Love showed up against Aldridge, he was dominated the 3 games prior.

 

[jlprk]

They faded in the 2nd half. How do we know the Wolves didn't tank?

Because of this win, they moved behind us in the standings. Same result as trading our pick for theirs.

That's a terrible trade! Fire someone! Or bench that Hickson guy. He's killing us!

 

[Mediocre Man]

Stupid asses. Now Minny has a better draft slot than us



Actually, looking at the schedule, there is a decent chance Portland is putting itself in great position to get their asses handed to them in the playoffs by OKC. Outstanding effort on the rebuild, guys
