I hope the Mavs put in their subs and we have our starters in, then we can make a run, but knowing us, their bench will probably dominate us.

I was thinking more like 8 weeks ago. We never got blown out.

I hope Randy Wittman snaps and busts a brick over Dirks skull so the he loses his coaching job and I can get a good laugh.

Man Avery kept his starters out there..He must really be teaching his team a lesson by raping us.

I was exaggerating. I know that we were decent at the beginning of the season but the last weeks were so bad that it makes it seem as if it was decades ago when we were competetive

oh wait. we're within 25? we're competetive again. we can win it...

Let's not forget, pretty much everyone was calling for Casey's head. Remember that he was an inept coach on the offensive end and couldn't establish a rotation. Wittman has more of an excuse for not having established a rotation.Remember the "rookie treatment" that Casey dealt to guys like Foye.

LOL I'm surprised shad didn't get an offensiv foul

Post #71 » by **Calinks** » Sun Jan 6, 2008 10:30 pm

What rookie treatment?

Post #72 » by **Basti** » Sun Jan 6, 2008 10:32 pm

shad is a stats padder... but I can live with it

Casey was notorious for not giving rookies a lot of burn. McCants and Foye both in their rookie years were given very short leashes and minimum playing time. I wasnt against this however as I like to bring the rookies along slowly anyway. But Casey may not have been too successful with this team.

How is Rick Carlisle with young'ns?

no playing time or at best 30 min followed by 5 games of 11 minutes. Production or not.

wow this is the 1st time I saw a timberwolves edition of the where amazing happens ad

I actually researched the minutes Foye got last year and Foye only had limited playing time in November and got 6 starts and a lot of 30+ minute games after November, so Casey actually did give Foye a ton of run.

because he makes shots? or because he's a scorer? Stat padding is intentionally missing a shot off your own basket to get the rebound for a triple double

McCants BURIES IT!!!!!

4ho5ive · Post #79 » by **4ho5ive** » Sun Jan 6, 2008 10:39 pm

Didnt really seem like Foye played that much. I remember him getting a few starts than getting yanked for an ineffictive Mike James. Boy was i heated. Good research though RC.
