    Omer Asik will soon be shooting spot up threes. Bet McHale's already got him practicing.

    If we run and gun like we did in those last games we won, we win. Hell, we'll win it all when we run and gun. If we run the half court offense like Mcfail did in the last 6 games and the first 24 games (12-12) of the season, we lose. I never would have imagined that we would move away from the run and gun offense. NEVER!

    And no, a good defense in an opposing team is not an excuse. We destroyed Memphis. Memphis was actually doing quite well the last time we met them. That Connelly was shooting lights out on us. But guess what? We run and gun, we made them look like chicken ****. We laughed at them. Chicago was supposed to be a top defense. We laughed at them too. Why da fuq did Mcfail move to this half court offense again? Why is he imposing this failed offense similar to the first 24 games of the season?

    I just don't understand.

    Oh man, I hope this was intentional, because this post is hilarious. So much innuendo!

    Then Mcfail should announce his resignation.

    The battle of the two teams with the worst losing streaks in the NBA, currently 9th/10th in the West.

    The battle also features:
    - A team that has been depleted of its energy by its head coach playing its 3 key players nearly 40 min a night and starters in blowouts of 4th quarters until 90 sec left, versus a team that has been depleted of its team by injuries.

    - A Head Coach that took time off to attend a family illness, vs another that is taking time off to attend a family illness.

    - Two PGs that can't hit a 3pt shot

    - Two PGs with a Russian connection

    - Two 2nd round picks Morey signed to NBA best contracts

    - Two teams that are missing Kevin Love :grin:

    And because Minnesota will be without Pekovic & Love, McHale will attack their lack of interior presence by playing ...


    SMALL BALL


    And we'll counter the Rubio-Ridnour-Barea line-up with Lin-Douglas-Beverley
