Game Thread: Minnesota Timberwolves @ Denver Nuggets

January 14th, 2005 - 9:30 PM (Central Time)


Minnesota Timberwolves (17-17) @ Denver Nuggets (15-20)

Last Game: Minnesota - Loss, 80-97
Last Game: Denver - Win, 95-83

Projected Starting Lineups:











Reserves:










In a matchup of two of the most dissapointing teams in the NBA, the struggling Timberwolves try to get a win in Denver. Denver has lost 4 out of their last 5 games, the same as Minnesota. Minnesota lost by 2 points in Denver earlier in the season, but both teams have gone downhill. Cassell is listed as doubtful, so it's up to Hudson to take his game up a notch. I think Minny will pull this one out, just because I think they are due for a win. It will be tough, but I think someone other than KG will have a big game. It's on national TV, right after the Dallas/San Antonio game.

Minnesota changed up their lineup: Anthony Carter, Latrell Sprewell, Trenton Hassell, John Thomas, Kevin Garnett.





Wally came off the bench and chipped in 9 points in the first half in 13 minutes. I think this lineup will work better.

As expected, things got a little intense in the game. Olowokandi and Nene threw some punches, so they're both gone and both will be gone for at least a few more games.




Sprewell was playfully taunting Camby.

Minnesota looksmuch better tonight, but the've given up their big lead late in the game. This will be a huge blow to Minny's confidence if they lose this one.

Now this is the twolves I remember from last year. They are playing intense basketball, contesting shots, and playing smart yet agressive offense. Sprewell is showing the killer instinct that he had last year. Hopefully the wolves can build off this victory and look back on this game as the one which turned their season around. Not are they only playing well, but they look like they are having fun in this game and are really pulling for each other.

Yep, this could be the turnaround game that Minnesota needed. On top of what you mentioned, it was against a rival on the road, so this win is something to build on.



Does anyone think the lineup change had anything to do with this?

The personal problems that they are referring to with Sam Cassell, is that their was a death in his family, I believe it was his aunt or something. They thought he would maybe be able to get to denver for the game but apparently he wasn't able to.

What a defender starting made the difference? jk man.

Hassel starting really helps. I hope they keep their line up like this, starting the game with more of the "defenders" will help out a lot.

I agree, with a better defender (Hassell) on the starting lineup would balance out the whole game than Wally starting. Too much offensive minded players = No defense, lose the game. Simple as that. I certainly hope Flip put Trenton out on the floor as game starts next time.
