Minnesota Timberwolves @ Milwaukee Bucks


Projected Starting Lineups:










Minnesota begins it's quest for a title with their pre-season opener against Milwaukee. I haven't heard much about who is/who is not playing for Minnesota, so if you have a corrected lineup please let me know.


It will be interesting to see how Eddie Griffin plays tonight, as well as the rest of the Minnesota hopefuls (Anthony Carter, Blake Stepp, Rick Rickert, etc.)

Milwaukee won 89-84, but that's all I know as of now. No boxscores from ESPN.com, NBA.com, or Yahoo, so I don't know what went on.

Finally, a box score: http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/boxscore?gid=2004101315


Wally started over Hassell apparently, which is an interesting development. Griffin had 11 off the bench in 12 minutes, but his most impressive stat was the 3 blocks he got. Ebi had 8 points in 7 minutes, and besides that, the other reserves did very little.


Only 11 TO's total, but made 0 three pointers.

I saw the game, not too bad.

Bucks controlled most of the game, Twolves made big run in 3rd but never took over, laid back feel.

You can tell Wally added 10 pounds, he looks more chiseled than ever, arms looking big.

Griffen got some solid pt, shot some jumpers, went into the post a little, had some blocks. Not bad, but he has some work to do.

Sprewell looked bad throughout the game, couldn’t hit anything, not moving well without the ball, not playing D, played poorly.

Blake Stepp didnt play at all, I was disappointed.

Rick Rickert got some PT in the 4th, couple of turn around J's on the block against ZAZA. Rickert has good touch, but he is extremely soft/weak, and Zaza's post D is horrific.



KG didnt play too much if at all in the 4th, despite being a close game. He looked pretty solid out there doing his usual routine. Jumper is not were it usually is right now, but he looks ready to go.


Box score on Yahoo I am looking at right now is not correct, Eddie played at least 25 minutes.

I can answer any other questions about the game.

Ya if you look at the box score on yahoo, it has 213 for twolves total minutes. Should be 240. Theres no way Eddie jacked up 12 shots in 12 minutes. He played a good amount tonight.
