    Just noticed: 5 blocks for Lamarcus. Impressive!

    I almost forgot what a fun, uptempo NBA game looked like.

    So who starts tomorrow, Rudy, Nic or Babbitt after the call up?

    I think Patty has good chemistry with Rudy, and since Rudy was playing well, maybe Nate wanted Rudy to continue his good play.

    What almost cost us the game was giving Minnesota 3 foul shots on the steal by Wesley. 1:30 in the game and they had to huddle? How about looking at the replay screen to make sure? that sweeping motion to draw the foul is another very inconsistent call. I saw Roy try it a few games back and got no free throws. Even if Wes did foul him, that ball was so low to the ground that there is no way they could determine that he was shooting. Again very inconsistent call. There is no difference between that and someone throwing up a 60 foot shot in the back court after being fouled. The NBA needs to figure this call out.

    Back to back games. Miller was coming back in and Patty was at the free throw line so he couldn't, and at that point why bring in a player that had been sitting for so long. He would have been ice cold. Patty was playing OK.

    LaSofty has transformed into LaBeastly these last two games. He's actually trying to dunk on like every possession. I don't think he even took that many (if any, jumpers tonight).

    And it was hilarious to see us run a fairly simple Rudy-LA pick and roll (he actually rolled!!!!!) like 12 straight times in the fourth quarter, and Minny was still not able to figure it out.

    Rudy finished with 26 points, 6 assists, 3 rebounds, and 3 steals.
    Wes finished with 21 points, 4 assists, 5 rebounds, and 3 steals.

    Seems like we had 2 Roys (with meniscus) out there tonight.

    I'm wondering if someone took him aside and said, "this is your team now".

    Kind of OT but Beasley measured 6'8" W/SHOES and is listed at 6'10", what gives?

    How many alley oops did Aldridge have tonight? It seemed like every shot was a dunk.

    His defense was horrid. It didn't even feel like he was guarding anyone.
