A Rebuild In Progress

[SuperNova854]

Lol clippers stole Blatche

 

[mfbmike]

LOL @ TJ Ford and Prince. Ridiculous.

That double-clutch layup by Flynn was legit too.

Showing off some hangtime. :bow:

lol @ bring it around, and balance his check book...

:bow:

This T.J. Ford and Tayshaun Prince thing is gettin ridiculous. Get Big Al an extra -4 in rebouds mike..20/10 ftw

I'm trying man. lol.

Kevin Love is a beast on the boards as well. Not to mention, Brewer gets up for some every now and then as well.

He isn't posting the 23/11 he did from a year ago, but it's safe to say he has a lot more help this time around. Not to mention, coming off torn acl surgery. :bigeyes:

Just caught up. Jefferson's beasting

On his way to his 1st all-star team selection. :wub:

Lol clippers stole Blatche

Tell me about it. 23 years old with great potential, all for a 2nd round pick. :doh:

Blatche is the man in Washington right now irl. Just go to edit player and change his role to a starter. :rofl:
Oberto < Shit < Blatche

Too late for that. :shifty:

Player Of The Game:

Al Jefferson

Quote Of The Game:
"Having defeated them twice already this season, we came into this one with a lot of confidence. We didn't shoot the ball as well as we probably would have hoped but our efforts underneath paid off. Kevin and I both hit double digits on the boards tonight and it proved to the difference. When you can rebound like we did tonight, give your team the second chance opportunities like we did tonight; you can afford to miss a couple shots." - Al Jefferson

Jefferson played well. Wilkins had a good game off the bench. Nice win over a tough Nuggets team

Player Of The Game:

Wayne Ellington

Quote Of The Game:
"The last time we sat at .500 was way back in November when we were 4-4. It was almost a weird feeling being able to let the starting guys rest in the 4th. The Rockets are going through somewhat of a transition right now and it's hard to tell whether they are coming or going, trying to win or trying to rebuild. Either way, a 20 point win over any team in this league is something to be proud of." - Wolves Head Coach Kurt Rambis

Damn you, your lucky Yao didn't drop 25 along with 8 boards 7 assists and 5 blocks and Battier didn't have practically all 25 of his points off of 3's and free throws.

 

[SuperNova854]

Nice game from Brewer and Ellington

I think im the only chise who has Yao Ming out.

 

[mike3]

Nice shooting from Ellington, a big improvement from 1-8 from 3 last game

I don't know what it is. I'm 3-0 against them this year. The last two meetings I have won by 3 or less points. :laugh:

Damn you, your lucky Yao didn't drop 25 along with 8 boards 7 assists and 5 blocks and Battier didn't have practically all 25 of his points off of 3's and free throws.

When a defensive specialist like Battier is considered a scoring option and is chucking up bad shots, your team is in trouble.

Houston's trade-happy ass approach this year has fucked them up hard. lol.

I think im the only chise who has Yao Ming out.

Not like it would make a difference. Rockets still blowing ass even with him playing.

Nice shooting from Ellington, a big improvement from 1-8 from 3 last game

No doubt. He was a significant part of my offense that game. Helped me get out in front by as much as 20+ thanks to his long range barrage.

 

[Vinsane]

Hell yes! .500, congrats bro, now it's time to get over that hill!

 

[DJ Rhude]

You've been getting pretty consistent play from Ellington lately.....pretty impressive beating the Nuggets twice....Melo is pretty damn tough to stop

Nice job getting back to .500

Wolves Recent Surge Has Minny Thinking Playoffs

Since making the decision to shake up the Wolves starting lineup by going away from the smaller Jonny Flynn/Ramon Sessions backcourt and instead starting Wayne Ellington at the 2, Kurt Rambis' Wolves have won 8 of their past 11 games.

Now 40 games into the 2009-10 NBA season, the Wolves 20-20 record has the Minnesota faithful thinking playoffs.

"This win just moved us up to the 8th spot in the Western Conference," explained Rambis in a post-game interview after the Wolves 20 point beatdown of the Rockets in Houston.

"A lot of the old powerhouses in the Western Conference have started off slow. Phoenix, Dallas. The Rockets are struggling. The Clippers aren't playing as well as they might have hoped. If these guys manage to keep it up, I have no doubt in my mind that we can be playing ball in late April."

Two years ago, the Golden State Warriors won 48 games. 48 games, but were still lottery-bound.

Needless to say, the Western Conference is hardly as tough as it was or as it was predicted to be before the start of the season. Which could translate into the perfect opportunity for the Wolves to return to the postseason for the first time in 6 years.

When asked about whether or not he intends to make any moves at the trade deadline which is less than a month away, Wolves GM David Kahn said, "We have been in touch with a number of teams around the league. Whether anything will come of the talks or not remains to be seen. We will continue to weigh our options and see how things play out as the deadline draws closer."

:drunk:

did you really just blowout my rockets at their home arena?

Yeah, because they suck.

T-Mac is gone, they traded away Ariza, Scola. Yeah, they are pretty garbage now bruh. Thanks for checking in though.

Ellington's been playing really well for you lately.

Eh, kinda sorta maybe? 1-8 from beyond the arch in the game before the last. Then 4-5 in the last one.

Although he did get it done the hard way in the game he went 1-8 from 3.

He is plagued by inconsistency though. If I said I wasn't looking for ways to improve my starting shooting guard spot, I'd be lying.

You've been getting pretty consistent play from Ellington lately.....pretty impressive beating the Nuggets twice....Melo is pretty damn tough to stop

Nice job getting back to .500

Thanks. I have actually defeated Nuggets 3 times this season already. We meet 1 more time before the season ends.

Melo is definitely hard to contain. J.R. and Chauncey usually produce well also. But down low, Al and Love have dominated K Mart and Nene this year. Which is a big reason for my success against them. Although two of our wins against them have been determined by less than 3 points. lol.

Oh my bad....3 times is even better

I would LOVE to see you get this team into the playoffs, 7th or 8th seed perhaps....You've been playing well lately and you should only get better in the second half of the season

Off topic: This fucking game has made it hard for me to give Madden any burn...and I actually like the game this year but NBA 2K10 :rockwoot:

Things have definitely gone my way. My team has managed to stay injury-free (not that I wouldn't mind some injuries to hit). On top of that, the West is weak this year. But with the way things are, a win streak can shoot you up in the standings while a losing streak can send you plummeting.

Nice win. Things seem to be turning around.

I definitely hit a favorable patch of games in my schedule, that's for sure.

If you make playoffs, Clippers get your pick

Yes, I'm going to go out and give out my draft pick to the Clippers and make sure I get all the picks owed to Minnesota as well.

You posted this earlier in this thread and I ignored it. You now posted it again. I'm now telling you to shut the fuck up. I don't care.

 

[SuperNova854]

Lulzie, someone's just mad the Wolves made a horrible trade to the Clippers trading Cassell and a 1st for Marko Jaric

No.

I'm just not going to go and assign and trade picks all over the league. Especially when so many of those owed picks are conditional and depend on how many games a particular team wins, etc. I don't care.
