9 PM CST locally and online, tape delay at 1 am on NBA tv
Games will also be shown outside the AAC on HD screen.
If your following the Summer league team, you may have noticed that no one has really stood out as being a rotational type guy for the 08-09 season. Maybe that was a lot to ask, maybe I was putting a little too much stock into this years summer squad, but I was at least hoping for a few standout performances from some of our guys. Its only been two games, I realize that, and it all hasnt been bad... but it hasnt been REALLY good though either.
Here is wyn's preview over at CanisHoopus from the Timberwovles view on things. Of course Love will be playing his first game against us in a Wolves jersey... we should be so lucky. So is Rodney Carney.
Guy to watch for me is Singleton this game. He signed with us, and reports are coming out (see below) that he is this years Brandon Bass. He hasnt stood out to me as that caliper of a player so far, so I will be watching him more closely through out tonights game.

Singleton
Calling him the next Brandon Bass is lazy, I think. Just because he’s the best player on this year’s SL team doesn’t mean he’s Brandon Bass.
He’s also not the same type of player. I would compare him more to the new Eddie Najera (the one that can hit the three).
The thing with Singleton that scares me is he seems to have lost a lot of his explosive athleticism he had before his knee injury.

Najera comparision
agreed… I think thats the FO was thinking when we signed him right around the time when Najera signed with the Nets

How come Green isn't playing?
Because he hasn’t been that great? Injury?

Just got here
missed the first half… not sure where green is…

They're playing great
More aggressive and not as much turnovers. I don’t know, maybe it coincides with Green not being out on the floor…

I predicted
he would be a bust… still early, but I still think he will be

I love Kamla and his enthusiasm
But he keeps saying Foster’s name wrong.

Unfortunately I haven't paid too much attention to him
I usually miss some of the action when I have to Alt+Tab between windows.
by Marie on Jul 14, 2008 10:21 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
I have 3 windows open
I need another screen to multi-task like this!

I have two windows
But three Firefox tabs in one window. I’d much rather watch this on TV but I’m not staying up until 1 in the morning.

Foster
has looked pretty good so far this half, couple of jams.
Love is abusing his defender this quarter

Damn
Your boy Foster making it rain like you wanted him to.

That's Green in the striped polo
He chose team colors, at least.
by Marie on Jul 14, 2008 10:25 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Because he sucks (so far)?
I have no idea, really. I haven’t been able to find out anything.

Seibutus
seems to push the ball a little with his arms on his release

It's the Toddy and Marie show

I'm undefeated in fights. Have I been in any? No. Thats because people know my f'ing status. Don't mess with the elite. - Miles

Lead down to 12 with three minutes left
They thought it was over already

Had to go ice down my leg

by Toddy on Jul 14, 2008 10:57 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
knees
getting old + basketball = sucks…
So I didnt really hurt myself, but if I want to walk with dignity tomorrow, then I have to ice ‘em down.

90-74 final
much better showing tonight… Foster had 17 points, Ju Smith had 19 points…
Not sure how much of this was us being what were supposed to be, or if Minny is that bad
by Toddy on Jul 14, 2008 11:02 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Yeah, it's hard to say
I mean, I can’t picture the bench exploding like that offensively in the next game
by Marie on Jul 14, 2008 11:03 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
should be interesting
next up is sacramento at 5pm
by Toddy on Jul 14, 2008 11:05 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
