1) Coming into tonight we were the worst shooting team in the NBA and came within a bucket of being 3-0. Despite Brandon's game winner our defense is light years ahead of what it was last year. Now if only we could only put the ball in the hoop. We should have beat MIN by 10 2) Where is Rice's shot and how long do we wait for it to arrive. I watched this guy tear it up in Charlotte. It's not only a matter of conditioning. He' isn't looking for his shot. I can see where he wants to fit in on his new team and all but the Rice I knew demanded the ball and wasn't hesitant to let it fly like he is now. I personally wouldn't mind him being a little more selfish and shoot his way out of this hole. 3) I commend KT for his offseason dedication and I like his new found quickness but it's time for Griffin to get the bulk of the minutes at power forward even if we start KT out of courtesy and then let Griffin take over (see: Shandon Anderson & Cat). Kt IMO would be even more effective against backup power forwards. As much as I like KT , Griffin is our future at the 4. Like Steve, I think we should throw him in the deep end and see how he does. 4) It's great that Griffin can take and make that outside shot but do we want another MO? Lets see him work down low already. 5) Thank God for Kevin Willis!!!! Now if only we can get him those arm transplants 6) Would rather see Cato foul out with 6 offensive fouls than have Nesterovic block his week stuff. ( Note to Kelvin: get your agent to work out an endorsement deal with the people who make " Stick-em" )
