Wolves at OKC: Scott Brooks Appreciation GDT

[BizarroJerry [enjin:6592520]]

Encouraging to see our starting 5 gel lately. Getting belly and kg back could really boost that second unit along with a key fa and pick next year. Let's close out the season on a high note!

Great win for Wolves. Love that Rubio got the clutch 3.

Our starters, especially Dieng and Wiggins, are playing well. Our bench is ridiculously bad. We need to get rid of Payne and Bazz and get some guys who can play at least average defense.

Bazz didn't look good in this game but think about who he is playing with. Teams can basically just load up on Bazz and try and take away what he wants to do which is get near the paint for his shots.

I'm afraid KG is done. He might make a cameo yet this year but he isn't giving us much more.

Great win. Worrying about ping pong balls is a detriment to this franchise right now. Just teach the young kids how to win. The OKC game could be an example of that.

- The team showed great perseverance. They didn't get calls. They battled. And battled. Towns and Rubio seem to battle hard most nights and Rubio definitely set the tone tonight. Fitting that he wins it with his jumper. Good for him.
- I rarely complain about calls. But yikes. That's what happens though when you're a good/bad team. Those types of calls are expected. The real story is that up-and-coming teams can overcome them. And ironically, the game turned on the Adams/Rubio foul call, which I can't imagine is called very often in that spot.
- Ibaka... wow. 0 points. 2 rebounds. 2 TOs. 6 fouls. PLUS... Dieng goes for a career high. I have to imagine that's being discussed in OKC this morning.
- The Wolves bench is extremely thin right now. The Wolves starters will be a boon for fantasy basketball players because they have no choice but to play heavy minutes.
- OKC had 24 TOs... and only 15 assists. YUCK. A lot of time it's fairly easy to see/claim a good team overlooked Minnesota or they just didn't have it or whatever. But despite OKC not playing its best game, this was a much-deserved win for the Timberwolves. They deserve the credit after this one.
- No Sam. No. Please. I beg you, Glen Taylor.

I finally got to watch this game (stupid blackouts) and I knew the outcome and over half of the 4th quarter I kept saying to myself "we won this game?!" OKC has some issues but still the Wolves pulled out a win and Rubio had a big hand in it at the end but it was a team effort.
