Well this game will be fun to watch its 23-4 and Sloan just got ejected. We better not lose interest, Oh man 25 now I feel sorry for the Jazz
The wolves have dominated the Jazz thus far. I wouldn't worry that they would get comfortable and let the Jazz make a comeback even if it has happened earlier in the season. They are desperatly playing for a playoff spot, but it isn't implausible that they would collasped again.
This is pretty much a murder. We are dominating with all reserves in. I would have done the same thing as Sloan. He knew his team was en route to a blowout, so he might as well go relax. We can't get too confident. Utah isn't a powerful team when their stars are healthy. With Kirilenko and Boozer out, there is no one really to rely on.
The one good thing that I really appreciate the Timberwolves is that they have decided not to mail it in this year. There is nothing worse than mailing it in. You are seeing that with teams like the Knicks, Bucks, Lakers, and now the Jazz. That stinks and it's not good for the players pride. It's not good for the fans who have to see this type of stuff. Utah clearly came out looking very bad. They did not want to play and it showed. Jerry Sloan clearly was frustrated and his ejection was accumlation of his frustration this year. I have a feeling he may retire after this season. Why does he need this with players not listening to him? It's been a rough year after high expectations. KG was super again. He is playing like he wants to win the Player of the Month. Wally was fantastic. Latrell was great. Troy has played really well. This is his best strech of the season for him. It was nice to see the passing and all. Very good performance. It's nice to see Bert Blyleven's day go really well. Twins won as they took two out of three against Seattle and the Timberwolves won. Bert Blyleven's day was a success. For those that have no idea what I am talking about, Bert Blyleven, former Twins pitcher and now Twins color analyst, always loves to talk about his birthday on his birthday and today was his birthday.
I really don't see why the Timberwolves have decided that they want to play their best basketball now. Better late than never I guess. I seriously think if they make the playoffs they will for sure advance past the first round. I just don't think Garnett is going to let his team fall apart. He takes responsibility for everything that goes wrong. If we didn't make the playoffs, even though it wasn't his fault, he would put it on his shoulders. Blyleven sure does get hyped for his birthday. He asked LeCroy to hit him a homerun, and that he did. I love Twins' baseball!
Pure: I did not know Bert Blyleven makes such a big deal about his birthday. I guess that day is special in Minnesota and I guess it's a day of celebration. I guess next year I will treat myself for an ice cream on Bert's day. Bert was begging Lecroy to hit a HR for his birthday. Bert got what he wanted on his birthday which was a Twins win and a Matthew Lecroy HR. Bert went crazy when Lecroy went deep. Speaking of Lecroy, it's rare he hits HR so enjoy em when he does it. It was funny to see Bert pop up the champagne in the booth to start the game and it was nice to see a tribute about his birthday.
