    They rely on Jefferson a lot, and Yao is just too big for him, he struggles a ton against Yao.....

    Players that hurt Yao are the ones with a mid range jump shot and the ability to face up and go around him.

    Jefferson is more of a post up player and that plays into Yao's strengths.

    Beware the wolves.
    This team could bite us in the behind.

    Don't take em for granted but the team is already in a hole and knows it, so I am counting on that to keep them motivated.

    I thought Jefferson could hit that J, plus he has Scola like moves in the posts, only he finishes better and is much more athletic. I'm pretty sure Yao will dominate, but I wouldn't be surprised if Jefferson played well, too.

    Has anyone looked at Minnesota's recent record?

    5-2 in last 7 games.

    Wins over GWS and PHX. Lost to Boston by 1 point!

    They're hot now and we need to take them seriously.

    OK.

    We did KILL them by 31 points in January. But that was before they started playing better. ;)

    I expect a fairly comfortable win tonight.

    Denver play Portland and Utah play New Orleans so 2 of the teams above us are going to be dropping a game tonight. We could be very close to breaking that top 8.

    I realize JVG is on the smaller side of average but Damn Yao looks huge in that pix. I was standing next to him and he was freakin tall but Gundy looks like a toddler there. :eek:

    that McCollow? guy is the guy for the Milwaukee Bucks every game. Didn't know you can work for two teams. He appears to have been in every bucks game so far. Probably a part timer for the wolves :D
