You know something? I think McHale did the right thing in getting rid of KG. I mean, sure he's a first ballot hall of famer, but he was getting to be too expensive, and in all honesty, you guys werent' going anywhere even with the Big Ticket.
I think that Al Jefferson has a HUGE upside, as he showed tongiht. You guys have a lot of young talent to build around. McCants ( a guy I wanted the Nuggs to draft ) look solid, and when Foye comes back, you guys will be just fine. Theo Ratliff is a player I've always respected. He does the little things so well, and it's good to see him healthy.
i'm glad we're in the same division (right now) as the games between our teams will probably always be this entertaining and close.
With the money you guys are saving, I wouldn't doubt to see you pick up some good free agents in the next year or two and make a huge run at the postseason and championship.
You guys really impressed me, but I loved watchign Melo throw down that dunk on Ratliff!

Always good to have some friendly competition...
Really outside of Iverson this whole division is stacked with young talent: Anthony/Nene/Foye/Jefferson/Williams/Booz/Oden/Roy/Durant
its gonna be great to watch for years and its good for us to play the other up and coming teams so often in the season.

Ah, the Minnesota sports late fade. Have an interesting start, then maybe build on it, and fade away. Well, the Twins usually scored 6, or 2 or less with lots of shutouts, but you get the picture.
Al must have sapped all near-the-rim finishing power.
Ratliff looks like he can't see the hoop (well, sometimes), and Brewer is having all-around scoring lapses. I don't expect him to get double-digits but he was extra cold.
Not that bad, though. We need pure shooters to stand near Al, though. Find a Hoiberg and he can score 10 per night.

Become a believer buddy, and quick. If the Timberwolves give Telfair the shot he deserves to succeed, they will be promptly rewarded. He's an amazing ballhandler and passer and a strong slasher. His defense is weak, but he will learn to become a better defender in the future. Boston drafted another PG and got lazy with trying to nurture this kid, and if you guys don't make the same mistake mark my words you WILL be rewarded.
