Thanks be to the ghost of Brandon Roy's knees. Twice this season we have come from 17 down to win at Minnesota. We have comeback residue there. This was one where free throws could have killed us. Ed played a good garbage game, though. A balanced sheet. Interesting pregame commentary about the season of slow starts, but slow and steady wins the race—consistency, small ball, highlight reel dunks and circus shots are still worth two, same as the ugly stuff. Wishing Terry would stress fundamentals. No excuse for NBA players with obvious liabilities. Finally, we started the season 4-2 because people didn't predict McCollum would be prolific, but defenses adjusted, and the tandem of two backcourt scorers without a consistent front court scorer allows defenses to focus on the backcourt. Harkless is giving up minutes and mojo to Henderson.... Funny how the preseason situation seemed to crowd the frontcourt, but we seem to have too many players in the backcourt. If Terry is trying to encourage project players, I'd give Harkless at 6'9" a start in place of Vonleh, who isn't growing up very fast.
Not easy to win twice on anybody's court even if they do suck at home. Great great great win for us. 11 more wins in 2 months and I win $200.
Saw a flash from Vonleh tonight, reminds me of Leonard his first year. Slow burn is important for keeping his confidence up and development moving forward. Keep Meyers in mind before writing off Vonleh.
