Rambis Set To Shake Up Wolves Rotation, Flynn To Find Himself In Starting Role



The Wolves have lost 4 of their last 5 and Kurt Rambis has decided it's time to change things up a bit.

After an impressive 29 and 10 performance againt the Blazers on Saturday night, Rambis has decided it is time for Flynn to show his stuff as a member of the starting lineup.

"Jonny's been great so far for us," Rambis explained to reporters at the Wolves practice facility. "He's ready." Flynn's first career start will come Monday, when the team travels to the Staples Center to take on the Clippers.

Damien Wilkins, who has performed well enough to be a solid member of the Wolves rotation will be relocated to the bench. However, with the Wolves wanting to avoid stunting Wayne Ellington's growth, it's tough to see where Wilkins will get his minutes. Especially with the much better shooter, Jarvis Hayes, now on the roster after a trade earlier in the week.

Sergio Rodriguez, who was also acquired earlier in the week, is expected to see a majority of the minutes behind Flynn. Sean Williams will also see increased play time with the roster shake-up.

It all fits in to the Wolves attempt to find "diamonds in the rough." Young talent that could blossom into solid players in the Wolves rotation for years to come.

Here is what the Wolves rotation looks like after the changes:

PG Jonny Flynn, Sergio Rodriguez
SG Ramon Sessions, Wayne Ellington, Damien Wilkins
SF Corey Brewer, Jarvis Hayes, Sasha Pavlovic
PF Kevin Love, Sean Williams
C Al Jefferson, Ryan Hollins

Wolves Squander Double Digit Lead In 4th Quarter, Lose It In Overtime

Starting Lineups:
Jonny Flynn PG Baron Davis
Ramon Sessions SG Eric Gordon
Corey Brewer SF Al Thornton
Kevin Love PF Blake Griffin
Al Jefferson C Marcus Camby

(5-8) 108 @ 113 (6-8)


Baron Davis shot poorly but managed to tally up 12 assists to lead a comeback victory for the Clippers.



Player Of The Game:

Eric Gordon

Quote Of The Game:
"It's one thing to lose a game after heading into the final quarter when you're down. But we were up. Way up. We had that one. Maybe we got complacent? I'm not sure. We aren't the best team in the league, we aren't in a position to underestimate any team. We have got to have that killer instinct and put teams away in situations like this." - Al Jefferson

Next Game:

Flynn's Clutch Free Throws In Final Second Snap Minny's 3 Game Skid

Starting Lineups:
Jonny Flynn PG Chauncey Billups
Ramon Sessions SG J.R. Smith
Corey Brewer SF Carmelo Anthony
Kevin Love PF Kenyon Martin
Al Jefferson C Nene

(5-9) 114 vs. 112 (7-7)


Jonny Flynn knocked down 3 crucial free throws with a little over a second remaining in regulation.



Player Of The Game:

Al Jefferson

Quote Of The Game:
"We were down by 1 with about 10 seconds left before Coach called a timeout. He subbed in Jarvis and Damien to give us some more range out there for the final play. The play was originally drawn up for Jarvis to get the ball but they read it. Time was running out. I had no choice. I got it up but Chauncey hit my arm on the shot.. We had been getting calls going our way all night and luckily for us, he got called for the contact on that one as well. Knocked em all down to put us up 2 and give us the win. Biggest free throws of my career so far baby, and I got em to fall." - Jonny Flynn
