[KingSpeed]

43-20
3rd seed
1 game behind Grizzlies (a couple weeks ago, we were a full 5 games behind them)
Only 7 games behind Warriors in the loss column
2 game win streak

Wow! This Leonard kid needs to be on the court, then get him the damn ball. He can demo it's function.

 

[Scalma]

Imma keep saying it. Leonard is the best pure shooter on the team lol

 

[EGame]

I do wish Leonard would shoot more. He finds himself open a lot and is too unselfish.

 

[KingSpeed]

38 bench points

Plus, Blake only had 7 assists on his stat line. No shot attempts, no turnovers, etc. Just 7 assists. That is pure.

That would be true and cover a long time back to boot.

 

[BBert]

Can someone please give a blow by blow account of the Freeland head butt incident?

[BBert]

Thanks. Then what happened?

 

[riverman]

Was Leonard holding back a sneeze during the interview? Lol. Cuz it looked like he sneezed after the interview as he was walking away from Holton.

Or Holton just farted

 

[riverman]

Joel was smart to stick to the head butt, keep his shoulder out of harms way

 

[stampedehero]

Post:: Could only see teleprompts but was impressed with a continued sustained blowout. I have been waiting for a game where we crush a comeback. Like Freelands' Head "Push". Hope he doesn't get a 10 game penalty. It would be our luck.

 

[stampedehero]

The "KMan" is driving me crazy. I thought he was the perfect pick up. He exceeded my expectations for a while. Then he began to get worse and worse, until now, I don't even want to see him on the court. He does make the occassional big rebound or big play. After making two or three terrible ones. I just can't take it anymore.

+> Tonight he played normal and mediocore from what I saw on the game stats. Got to admit he has the typical Viking look. Maybe he can get a job as the Minnesota mascot in the off season.

 

[Darkwebs]

Thanks. Then what happened?

Nothing, lol. Freeland and Shawne Williams got separated by the refs and teammates, though it looked like Williams was trying to go at Freeland, but like I said, other players and the refs did a good job of restraining both guys so this wouldn't escalte.

The refs then went to the replay and did their review. The refs ejected both Joel and Williams with flagrant fouls. The crowd was clapping and cheering for Joel as he walked back to the locker room.

 

[Darkwebs]

Or Holton just farted

That's definitely another possibility.

Awesome! Thanks.

And this all started how?

He shoots so well because he's picky about his shots. His shot selection is (in my opinion) one of his best traits.

 

[Darkwebs]

Awesome! Thanks.

See the Youtube video in the post right above.

At this point, he's more a personal coach for Leonard than a bench player. And after tonight, I think I'm okay with that.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Apparently, Jabari is mad at Leonard for not knowing what The Jordan Shrug was.

 

[BBert]

Thanks. Williams has always been a dick. It's funny he instigated with Meyers then head butted Freeland, then got all pissed off when Freeland didn't take his shit.

 

[BBert]

Joel Freeland is our new Joel Przybilla. Go Joel!

 

[BBert]

I remember Williams tried some intimidation shit with LaMarcus their rookie years, was getting up in his face. LaMarcus basically laughed at him. I'd like to see him try that now. Or better I'd like to see him underestimate Freeland again.

 

[Strenuus]

28/9 for Lillard on 9-12 shooting, 5-7 from 3.

Just sayin'

 

[Strenuus]

Here's the full video

Barrett can be so... like, he tries to go and be objective. Then, he has moments like this where he tries to go full Mags. It's clear why Williams got mad at Beibs, since Beibs put an elbow in his back and shoved him. But Barrett goes "Meyers is just trying to take the ball out of bounds."

Come on. You're watching the replay. It was right there.

I love Freeland.

Kaman had one of his best games of the year tonight. I've had some issues with Kaman this year, but tonight... he was vintage Kaman, so I don't understand how after tonight this would be said.

I'm speaking about his 10 game moving average more than his 1-game performance. I'm glad he got his mojo back tonight against those cold sides of beef Detroit has.
