Great. There goes our perfect attendance record. Who had game #3? My SELF seems to be the lucky charm so far since she’s the only person to witness a victory in person. Brandon has the next 2 home games so let’s hope things turn around.

So we’ve got two guys who can score, one who can rebound, and nobody who can play defense. Sounds like 20-62 to me!

Al Jefferson is one of the 5 worst defenders in the league.

Is playing a Zone Defense still legal? How much is the coach payed?

Duncan’s manlove of Love was almost lovable.

[Brandon dribbles a basketball across half-court, passes to nearest teammate on the perimeter, stands in place until possession is over.]

To be fair, they told him to “get into the post” and he interpreted it as “imitate a post”. Common mistake.

What may have been lost amidst my whining was that the game was really, really fun to watch.

God save my soul, I’m becoming a Timberwolves fanatic.

Foye does have an intimidating “I’m going to steal the ball” arm swoop, but I guess you actually have to touch the ball for it to work.

I know, I know, that’s what she said.

SCH: You mean, you can’t pick the guys pocket every time? Randy Foye will hear nothing of it.

Here’s me being Randy Foye on defense in overtime: [SCH watches his man catch the ball, closes out on him and overpursues, watches man drive past him for easy bucket.]

Sweet. What was Wittman saying in timeouts? “Make sure you don’t think of ANYTHING to do against the pick-and-roll guys, and you know what, don’t even bother trying to defend Tony Parker.”

I picked up on this game half way through the 4th quarter and there were 3 things I noticed. (other than the fact that the building was barely half full.

1. Duncan double dribbled on his game tying possession in regulation. Heck, I saw it on TV and the ref 10′ away didn’t notice. The bench went crazy to no avail.

2. Brewer is not a very good defender

3. Foye should not be a point guard
