Towns had Harden in the post and Teague failed to get him the ball -- instead waiving him off. Chris Weber didn't understand it and I don't either.

For whatever reason, Teague likes his chances driving against Capela versus posting up KAT. I'd get it to KAT and force Harden to guard him! He's not going to want to foul him, so KAT will probably get some easy looks down low.

Actually, KAT is playing pretty well so far in the second half after a putrid first half performance. But I still don't understand why KAT backpeddles when defending an attacking ballhandler. It's a terrible habit that needs to be broken.

Maybe Houston will feel the pressure if the Wolves can keep it close. Harden folded like a cheap suit last playoffs.

I called for utilizing the post up offense before the season started, especially if the team wasnt going to be fast paced. This team has 4 guys who can exploit mismatches in the post and in the playoffs could really control the game. I hope they take advantage while they have the chance.

People complain about wiggys lack of emotion , but its that lack of emotion that allows him to maintain composure in tough situations.

Not necessarily a bad strategy against the Rockets, who eschew mid-range shots....This is exactly what the Spurs did in last year's playoffs.

maybe its by design. Dieng does the exact same thing.
