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
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…
Yes
I love how excited he gets about the game and is not obnoxious about it like Screamin’ A. Smith.
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.
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.
yeah no joke,
I have it tivo-ed just incase, but will probably wont be able to fall asleep by then and watch it anyway.
Foster
has looked pretty good so far this half, couple of jams.
Love is abusing his defender this quarter
It's the Toddy and Marie show
what happened to Wes? Just posts on LSB instead?
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

I figured everyone would be over there for the all star game tonight… hamilton did awesome
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.
no kidding
I know I shouldnt play if I ever want to be active when Im in my 30s, 40s and 50s… but I cant help it. I love playing too much
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
Yeah, it's hard to say
I mean, I can’t picture the bench exploding like that offensively in the next game
Off topic and for those interested
Dirk and JJB will be in action tomorrow during the Olympic qualifying…Germany v. Cape Verde and Puerto Rico v. Cameroon.
is there a feed somewhere
we can watch this? Im sure there is… If anyone knows of it, please feel free to share it with us.
