Ramon Sessions vs Jonny Flynn for Point Guard of the Future

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 04:37:18 +0000

I didn't expect this subject to come up again, but it has. I've stated that either point guard would be great fits for the Minnesota Timberwolves franchise for their point guard of the future. I've said that Jonny Flynn would be the better point guard if he can limit his turnovers. But the sad thing is that he's averaging more turnovers than he is assists. He can score the basketball at will, but as far as I'm concerned, Ramon Sessions has been running the team way better than Jonny Flynn has been doing. Maybe it has something to do with the triangle offense, but there are other factors going along with that as well. Jonny Flynn appears to be confused at times, and that forces him to take bad shots. He can get past anybody, yet doesn't always utilize that talent. Ramon Sessions played very well in the loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. Thirteen minutes in, Ramon Sessions had seven assists, and finished with eight assists for the game. Jonny Flynn hasn't been playing well when it comes ...

What Could Be Positive About the Minnesota Timberwolves' Losing Streak?

Sat, 14 Nov 2009 00:13:59 +0000

In an eight game losing skid, there was much positivity to be said about the Wolves when the Wolves came within single figures of beating the Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Clippers, and the Phoenix Suns. Now that they have dropped games against the Milwaukee Bucks, the Portland Trailblazers, and the Golden State Warriors, all positivity has almost been dropped, and has Wolves fans hanging their heads pondering the EXTREMELY long season ahead of us. But all is well, and while the Wolves are on track to be a horrible team, there are some few positives that I'd like to point out. Kurt Rambis He appears to really "be Phil Jackson's former right hand man." His knowledge and intelligence of the game is immense, and it actually impresses me about the things he says. One thing that Phil Jackson always amazed me with, was that he was always critical of his team, and constantly pointing out mistakes, despite a win of 20+ points. Kurt Rambis is the same way, only that the Wolves are losing. He ...

Blake is coming off a hot shooting night, while Miller continues to get more comfortable within the offense. For the Wolves, Jonny Flynn remains the lone bright spot for this struggling young team. They have a keeper there. Hopefully this team can get on the right track once Kevin Love returns from injury. PG SG Brewer, Ellington, Pavlovic....it doesn't really matter who trots out to guard Roy in this one. Brandon will look to score early and often, to make up for his two point performance on Sunday against the Wolves. He'll know now that he needs to get going early in potential blow out games. Twenty points in the first half? I'm also feeling Rudy going off for five threes in a game here pretty soon. He's due. ...

Blazers-T-Wolves: Blazers Blow Timberwolves out of Portland

Mon, 9 Nov 2009 05:17:57 +0000

BOX SCORE The Blazers enjoyed their first blowout win of the year against the Timberwolves in a lazy Sunday at the Rose Garden. The new three-guard lineup (is there a name for this lineup yet?) got things going with a 33-point first quarter, led by Miller and Aldridge. Roy laid low in this one, getting people involved with seven assists before calling it a night with only two points. Oden had his offense going in the first half and only committed one foul, but barely saw the floor in the second half. It's always nice when the starters can take it easy and give way to the high-flying second unit. The bench mob was moving the ball smoothly, combining for 16 assists. Outlaw was filling it up at a very productive rate with 19 points, including three three-pointers. Rudy was making things happen with five boards, six assists, and four steals. Even Bayless got in on the action with 12 points, four assists, and no turnovers in 18 aggressive minutes. These types of games are great for ...

Game 7: Blazers vs. Timberwolves, 6:00pm

Minnesota Timberwolves coverage at T'Wolves Blog . Blazers Analysis T'Wolves PG Drafting Jonny Flynn and acquiring Ramon Sessions really changes the Minnesota back court. Although Flynn has been inconsistent, he seems destined for stardom. In this game, however, Steve Blake and Andre Miller, who are both starters now, will work to their strong points and dominate Sessions and Flynn. PG SG Corey Brewer is finally getting a chance to show his potential as a member of the Timberwolves. He's always been a lanky, solid defender but his offense has picked up lately. Brewer will have the tough task of defending Brandon Roy in the Rose Garden. I like Brandon's chances here and I like Rudy's chances against Sasha Pavlovic. Although defense will be the focus for the Minnesota guards, they don't have a chance. SG SF Martell Webster and Travis Outlaw have at times been huge ...
