Poe Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Brooks, Martin, and Scola are one heck of a trio. When does Ariza get back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChosenOne Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Brooks, Martin, and Scola are one heck of a trio. When does Ariza get back? I thought he was suppose to be back already but I guess not. He is listed day to day right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin seems to be playing way too well not to start. But who knows, Adelman managed to ignore T-Mac on the bench and stay successful.

YugoRocketsFan Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 According to Adelman, both Ariza and Lowry are back next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heir Rose Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 What a frustrating week for the Timberwolves. They've gotten a good amount of rest before both Wednesday's game against Dallas and tonight against Houston, the fanbase is riled up because of March's 50% off season ticket sales for next year, and so much positive energy has been surrounding the team. They lose a close one against a great Dallas team and then made a push in the 4th quarter to get back into the game, but once again couldn't finish. Tough end to what's been a very promising week. Love once again stepped up big off the bench, where he'll continue to start the game from for the rest of the year it seems. While Jefferson's been playing poor (had a three game stretch of 10/5 or something like that) and dealing with off the court issues, Love's been a double-double machine and has stepped up his game and role with the team. Darko contributed 9 rebounds and 5 assists, but only scored once on 5 shots. Rambis and the team wants him to become more aggressive on the offensive end, but Milicic has been hesitant to make himself a serious scoring threat. At least he's creating in other ways with his rebounding, interior defense, and passing ability. Speaking of passing, that was one of the bright spots tonight for the Wolves. Milicic, Love (4), and Hollins (2) combined for 11 assists. Milicic has done a good job finding the open cutters in the post, including an impressive touch pass to Ryan Hollins for the slam. Love more than makes up for his lack of athleticism in the transition game with his ability to start the break, as he was continuously looking for and finding the long pass. I remember two instances where he got the ball after a board to a streaking guard; once to Ramon Sessions for a dunk, and the other time to either Brewer or Wilkins (might've been both; I remember Brewer got called for a travel one time which might've taken away an assist opportunity for Love). He was still looking for it even after the Rockets scored when he was taking the ball out of bounds. It's the little things the Love does that make for easy baskets and make him a championship-type player in my eyes. Ryan Hollins has really been stepping up his offensive game lately. He started off hot against Atlanta last week, and tonight went 7 for 7 with a few dunks for 15 points. His faceup game is developing nicely, and he's got a solid jumper. The Wolves had good balance offensively (5 guys with 14+ points), but shot at a low percentage. Had they played better defense on Brooks (25), Martin (30), and Scola (25) as well as boxed out better (Scola also had 21 rebounds), they might've come out of Target Center with a win and a good finish to a week that's been getting a lot of hype from the Wolves' front office. Making better rotations would help too, as the Rockets were able to get 30 assists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Wolf Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 I was at the game. Way too many mistakes during the game. Flynn needs to be more patient and stop passing to the inside when teams play zone defense. Their defense is horrible. Someone will penetrate, then pass the ball to a wide open jump-shooter. They also need to have more energy when it comes to both sides. The lack of contesting shots and penetrating to the rim really irritates me.
