    The way to continue to establish ourselves, and the Wolves to keep winning, is to get Spree shots and Kandi to intimidate early. KG is going to get his numbers (as long as he finishes 20/10/5 everythings great) and Sam can still make his offense off of the pick and roll. Spree needs to hit about 2 - 3 shots before his touch shows up. This is imparitive to our success now, and into the playoffs. Kandi is another that would be a bonus, but he is needed mainly for rebounds and defense. A good number for him IMO is 7-8-4 (for intimidation).

    I don't think Sprewell needs to score. Olowokandi needs to be a threat down low, though. What is really imparative to our success is our ball movement. We move the ball very well, the thing that killed us against Philadelphia was that we under estimated them and weren't ready. So all we have to do is be ready and we should go deep in the playoffs.

    The reason they lost the game against Philly was because they couldn't get the ball to KG's hands.For the Wolves to win KG has to play well or they lose.And Ball mouvement is a very important thing.But the most important thing is that they all need to play well.

    I was under the understanding that ball movement is a given in my argument, because that is who the Wolves are. But When Spree is on, and Kandi's intimidating in the post (so it's not just KG) we are feared. We have an identity similar to the Kings with great ball movement as it is, but when Spree scores, he becomes more aggressive in his shots and penetration (which leads to assist). And the Kandiman.....do I really have to explain how important an inside presence is in the West?
