andre miller

villanueva looks hella scary too

[Vinsane]

Tayshaun, McGrady, Ariza...wtf?

[mfbmike]

People being traded that already have been traded, lmao.

Tell me about it rofl. The worst part about it is on the trading block, the Blazers are now offering the Pacers T.J. Ford for Andre Miller. :doh:

If that ends up happening, they end up on their original teams.

Ahaha Andre, this is actually hilarious.

Just managed to read all 35 pages or so and get caught up, haven't been on here for a good while. Haha all looking good so far, providing Flynn can pick it up again.

How are all the other rookies in the league doing? Who's leading ROTY so far?

Award races don't go up until I get into January. Not to worry though, only 2, well 1 game left in December. I would think Flynn is leading it since he won ROTM in November. This month was a bit bumpy but he has come back strong in the last couple of games.

Wayne Ellington SG Roger Mason
Corey Brewer SF Richard Jefferson
Kevin Love PF Antonio Mcdyess
Al Jefferson C Tim Duncan

(14-17) 95 @ 88 (21-7)


Al Jefferson fights for position down low against Tim Duncan. Jefferson posted a double double in the Wolves win.



Player Of The Game:

Al Jefferson

Quote Of The Game:
"I've never seen these guys this active on defense. It's obvious the Spurs are hurting without Manu considering they just came off a loss to the Knicks before this game. Regardless, I'm proud of the way we played out there tonight. Hopefully we can ride momentum back home with us and wrap up the month on a high note in our upcoming game against Utah." - Wolves Head Coach Kurt Rambis

Do I smell an upset?

:whisper:

Good win mike......Jefferson has been crazy consistent this year.....looks like Flynn still struggled to shoot the ball a bit

[Vinsane]

My favorite update thus far, lol.

K-Love and Jeff doing work on the boards, I like it. Seems like you really took care of the post this game. Keep that up and you'll get back to .500

Ellington Unable To Sink Potential Game-Winning 3, Jazz Escape Target Center With Win

Starting Lineups:
Jonny Flynn PG Deron Williams
Wayne Ellington SG Ronnie Brewer
Corey Brewer SF Andrei Kirilenko
Kevin Love PF Carlos Boozer
Al Jefferson C Mehmet Okur

(15-17) 103 vs. 105 (17-13)


Wayne Ellington failed to connect on any of his four 3 point attempts, including the potential game winner.



Player Of The Game:

Deron Williams

Quote Of The Game:
"The Jazz played horrible basketball. We forced them into committing 16 turnovers. We played what I thought was pretty solid defense. At least up until the final minute of regulation. Everything we did on defense, thrown away because of a couple late defensive mishaps. We didn't lose the game because Wayne didn't make that last shot. We lost because we stopped playing defense before the final buzzer went off. This game was ours to win and we failed to do so." - Wolves Head Coach Kurt Rambis

Thought it was funny. lol.

Ginobli has a torn shoulder labrum. He should be out for another 1-2 weeks.

no manu=win

It certainly made things easier for me. Richard Jefferson was forcing all types of horrible shots up.

Kevin Love did good 17 Boards

Lots of missed shots that game and he was gobbling them up.

The t'wolves just can't catch a break.

Tell me about it. I thought I had that game. Was coming up with all sorts of steals. Flynn had 6! Fucked up at the end. Kirilenko hit a wide open 3, then Deron scored. It sucked.

Nice job with Flynn leading the rookies

Was happy to see that as well.

December in the books. Onto January we go!
