Add Nuggets, Wolves To Conference Semifinals Lore

The Wolves Owned All 4,700 Basketball Squares

by John Wilmes

Minnesota's defensive effort in Game 2 was a transformative sight. In what appeared to be an effort to become one with their team name, they swarmed, smashed, hounded, snarled, took, and destroyed for 24 straight minutes to start the game. Not an inch of the court was safe.

Turkish kid at UC Irvine. He popped when I watched him against Utah St. recently. Had a good game against SDSU yesterday. Strong guard that really likes to attack the rim. Keep an eye out.

I was right about 3 point shooting. I expect to be right about Tacko Fall. Some coach will figure out how to use Tacko Fall. This movement towards undersized centers will sweep ng back. Back to the basket scorers will return to the NBA.

always like being turned on to guys I'd never heard of but he doesn't appear to have NBA athleticism and he might have a negative wingspan. I like that he's crafty and quick though. Has a little Podziemski in his game but Pod is a good athlete as well.
