On the Wolves: Canis Hoopus / A Wolf Among Wolves / T'wolves Blog
The Minnesota Timberwolves and Milwaukee Bucks look to shrug off opening night losses on Monday when they meet at the Bradley Center for Milwaukee's home opener. All eyes will be on Ricky Rubio, who impressed off the bench in the Wolves' home opening loss to Oklahoma City.
The Rubio effect. Not all losses are created equal, and you only need look at the reaction of the Milwaukee and Minnesota fan bases over the past 24 hours for a clear example why. While Bucks fans were justifiably disappointed/annoyed/emotionally bankrupted by their team's third quarter no-show in Charlotte, Timberwolves fans were largely upbeat following their home-opening loss to Kevin Durant and the title-contending Thunder. Afterall, there's nothing embarrassing about losing to the gang from OKC, especially when Wolves fans were more interested in getting a glimpse of how their long-term future with Ricky Rubio, Kevin Love and Derrick Williams may pan out.
As was the case in the preseason, both Rubio and Williams came off the bench but made quick impacts. True to form, Rubio didn't worry much about scoring himself (6 points on 2/3 shooting) but dished out six dimes without a turnover in 26 minutes, electrifying the expectant Target Center crowd on a number of occasions with his terrific vision and passing instincts (how 'bout them bounce passes?). As the highlights above suggest, everyone becomes a finisher when Rubio is on the court, and you can bet the Wolves will look to push the tempo whenever possible.
Gooden suspended. The NBA announced this afternoon that Drew Gooden would be suspended for tonight's game following his flagrant two foul on Gerald Henderson in the opener. Gooden was Bogut's backup at center last night, so his absence will further stretch the Bucks' depth up front, which was already dealing with the absence of Luc Mbah a Moute (knee tendonitis). We'll update Mbah a Moute's status when we hear more, but Larry Sanders, Jon Leuer, and Jon Brockman will all need to be ready for more minutes up front.
Ersan Ilyasova could start for the second straight game at PF, though Skiles will be hoping to also have Mbah a Moute as an option against his former UCLA teammate Kevin Love. The Bucks will have a tall order preventing Love from getting his customary 20/15: mark him with a bigger player like Bogut and he'll kill you in the pick & pop, while smaller players will have a hard time holding their position against him down low. Bogut will initially be tasked with marking Darko Milicic, but figures to match up with the smaller Love at some point.
Considering the options Skiles has at his disposal, Ilyasova isn't a particularly bad matchup against Love on paper--he's mobile enough to chase Love outside and will battle with him on the boards. But the Bucks would also prefer to get more offensively from Ilyasova, who didn't do anything in Charlotte to counter his rep as an inconsistent, unassertive offensive player. Ersan missed two early jumpers and then essentially vanished for the remainder of the night on the offensive end, his only real contributions coming on the boards.
On the rebound. The Bucks owed their season opening loss in Charlotte in larger part to their second-half struggles on the boards, which is all the more worrying when you're about to host the league's best rebounder. The Bobcats outrebounded the Bucks by a staggering 33-14 margin in the second half, including 12 offensive rebounds. Interestingly it wasn't the Bobs' bigs who did most of the work either. Gerald Henderson grabbed eight of those second half rebounds and Kemba Walker and Corey Maggette both added six, which tells you that the Bucks' perimeter players forgot that they're allowed to box out, too. Love helped Minnesota tally the second-best offensive rebound rate in the league a year ago, so the Bucks will have their hands full preventing Minnesota from gaining second chances.
Porter returns. The Wolves will be without new coach Rick Adelman tonight (attending a funeral), meaning former Bucks coach and Wisconsin native Terry Porter will be handling the head coaching duties.

The only reason I won't be happy at 0-3
is because we won’t commit to tanking like the Wizards.
Dunno, but Ersan and Dunleavy are listed as starters on the scoreboard. For that matter, it wouldn’t surprise me if MDJ starts the rest of the year.

This whole dehydration thing is weird.
I read some of the comments last night about alcohol use being an issue, but I asked my wife (a 1st year medical resident) and she thought that if he is having prolonged issues with dehydration, it could be a kidney or endocrine issue. I hope it isn’t.
It just seems strange because it seems he was in shape and ready for the season. I was hoping the local media might have gotten to the bottom of this mystery by now and cleared it up for fans, but I guess we will just remain in the dark.

This is what he twitted yesterday in Spanish when he was asked
“I’m doing therapy in the plain to have more chances…we will see.”
I’m out of home these days, but trying to catch some game from borrowed PCs :P
Is anyone else a bit aggrieved that...
…Gooden gets a 1 match ban for an in-play foul and Kevin Garnett gets nothing for his post-game indiscretion v Knicks? Or have we all just given up on scratching our heads at the travesties of the governance of the league?

I think Bogut's ability to score on Darko will be a key tonight.
Also, Jennings can’t make this matchup with Rubio personal, turning the Bucks half court game into a series of isos to prove himself. Ball motion and open looks will be important.
I agree
I think the way Jennings chooses to play Rubio (individual vs team option) will largely determine the outcome.

curious to see how much they match up
Rubio came off the bench and played with Barea last night as well, so he might not match up w/Brandon as much as usual.

It seems like getting Bogut to score on Player X is a key to every game
And every recap says Bogut was not involved enough.

Agreed but he made that 1st one
and apparently that’s been enough to get MN to bite b/c they have been buying his little pump fake all night. Most importantly he’s just getting clean attempts in the lane.
Excellent!

I honestly think depth can be a hindrance to chemistry, especially offensive
Players are better when they know their roles and are comfortable with their teammates. It’s hard to get to that comfort level on 10-15 minutes a night. Eventually frustration can set in and disrupt chemistry. This can be negated by great coaching substitutions, but players resent scraping for scrap minutes.
I’m all for more healthy players after last year, but we could use some long term stability.

It's clear we want Jackson as our playmaker tonight
He’s getting tons of iso
Making things happen
Jax is doing that tonight. This team needs that.
I don't think those are being called, I think he's just running them himself because he's Stephen Jackson.
And that’s how he rolls.

Sanders needs to improve at those 30-footers
I never use a big word when a diminutive word would suffice.
AGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHH Why is he even out that far?!?!?!!?!?!?
I get the clock was winding down but don’t be out there… you are 7 ft
He fumbled the ball to half court
so he’d have an excuse to show off those 3 pt skillz
If he could catch the ball
He would have been only a foot behind the 3 point line.

Bailed out by our favourite second round draft pick (I think? or was he late first) – Jon Leuer has arrived….
Same time here buddy...TIRED.

With Coach Zorro on our side, we will slice opponents to ribbons. Tim Tebow gives me hope and I already have faith and charity in my heart! I see a propitious future rife with Lombardis for our Broncos!

I will be out for a rare dinner with my lovely wife ….;)

Glad you’re still with us, Tom :)

Over time
you gotta think the team will gel and get better. It’s clear they don’t know each other too well yet.
I wish they came more convincingly
but I’ll take a win
Yep
A 20-point thumper would have been nice.

Wow! 2 90+ point games in a row...

Wow I got home from 2nd Xmas at 98-93
Wow tare they going to do this every game. Nice game by BJ, Leuer and looks like Dunleavy did a bit of everything except score.
Is Skiles getting confidence in Sanders? and Leuer? Maybe my Gooden amnestied prediction will come true. Ok still best record since 5-5 last year.
Turnovers 25-12, Wolves sloppy or Bucks D?

Lot of sloppiness from the Wolves
Bucks’ defense wasn’t particularly suffocating IMO.

If there's one thing Hammond is good at, it's drafting in the 2nd round
Luc, Meeks, Hobson, Leuer probably the best streak in the league across that span
watched from Australia,
happy with the win.
Even performance with a number of contributors, Leuer impressive and looking forward to saturday morning vs Washington.
Me too
Did you watch it like me…laptop on coffee table for NBA, TV in background for Boxing Day Test?

haha, exactly,
happy to wake up at 7:30am perth time knowing that your day will be boxing day test and the bucks at the same time! only disappointing thing is that it was a bit early to crack a beer!
Never too early to crack a beer son...
…especially in Perth!

20 FGA for Bogut
I love that stat, he won’t be so inefficient nightly
loved his two jumpers
had to fist pump after those!
Bizarre night for Bogut
Couldn’t buy a hook shot…2/12 on shots from 3-9 feet. So aggravating watching him get a ton of good looks and see everything roll off the rim.
And then there was the jump shot.
Bogut was 0/28 last year on shots longer than 15 feet. Tonight? 2/2.
Go figure.

It's great that he's getting more recognition in the offensive sets.
As FTD mentioned, he won’t shoot <40% often. Plus,his FT stroke looks much smoother and confident. Add the rediscovered touch from outside 10ft and he could quite possibly top 20ppg… ahh, dreams!

On a separate note
I’m not sure I’ve ever seen him complaining as much as he was tonight. He was in the officials’ ears all night about stuff (hence the T), seemed to be getting impatient with his teammates as well.
by Frank Madden on Dec 27, 2011 11:56 PM CST up reply actions
I noticed that too.
I thought he was hit at least 3 times attempting a shot with no calls tho. And when Love only has to think about taking a shot to be guaranteed 2 shots at the other end, it must be frustrating.
Or maybe he’s just realised he’s no longer a noob in the league, is classed as a veteran, and has just had enough of not experiencing much team success in that time and has no patience any more for non-team orientated play from his teammates?

Say what you will about Sanders
But 6 boards, 3 steals and a block in 15 minutes is not bad.
