Timberwolves vs. Nuggets: Not the time for Love (7pm MST)

Minnesota Timberwolves at Denver Nuggets, Feb 20, 2012 7:00 PM MST


Your scary item of the day ... the Timberwolves sit at 16-16 and your Nuggets are just a game better at 17-15. The Wolves are led by Kevin Love, 25.6 points per game and 14.2 rebounds per game, exciting rookie Ricky Rubio, 11.3 ppg and 8.5 assists per game, and Denver's old friend J.J. Barea, 10.4 ppg.

Star-divide

Game: 33

Records:
Denver:
17-15 (8-7 at home)
Streak: Lost 3
Minnesota: 16-16 (7-6 on the road)
Streak: Won 3

Injuries:
Denver
: Danilo Gallinari (left ankle sprain) is out. Nene (left calf strain) is questionable. Rudy Fernandez (lower back strain) is day to day and didn't play vs. the Thunder.
Minnesota: None.

Television: Altitude

Season Series: First meeting this season.

Opposition's Take: Canis Hoopus (preview is up!)

During this crazy February schedule, I was looking forward to two games. The first, occurred last night in Oklahoma City - it was the first game between the Thunder and Nuggets since Denver's playoff exit last season. Both teams got off to hot starts and I thought this game would be a great first test of Denver's true strength. Well, injuries and the Nuggets 3-10 mark since starting the season 14-5 dampened things a bit. But my excitement for this second game is still alive!

This will be the Nuggets' first real look at this rebuilt team from the cold cold state of Minnesota. Wolves coach Rick Adelman has his team playing an exciting, and perhaps soon to be, winning style of hoops. Since being 7-10, the Wolves have gone 9-6 and might be starting to figure out how to win with each other.

Their three game win streak includes W's against the Rockets (111-98) and a thriller last night on their home floor against the 76ers (92-91) ... if you like games that end with made free throws (Love went 2-2 with 0:01 seconds left from the charity stripe).

I'm excited to see the creative passing from Rubio, the rebounding ability of Love, and to see how No. 2 overall draft pick Derrick Williams is looking. The up-and-down style of the Wolves plays right into the Nuggets' hands and this could be a very high scoring game ... well, with both teams on the second of a back-to-back (thanks schedule makers) it could be a very sloppy game too.

Denver needs a win in a bad way and the Wolves would prove to be a quality win at the right time.

Minnesota Non-Stiffs:

Kevin Love: He can do it all. He'll post up, shoot jumpers, and can hit shots out beyond the three-point arc as well. His rebounding could be a potential problem for the Nuggets and George Karl would be wise to fight Love with some height or bounce ... Mr. Bounce himself Kenneth Faried.

Nikola Pekovic: The 6'11'' and 290 pound 26 year-old out of Bijelo Polie, Montenegro has worked his way into the starting lineup and isn't disappointing. He didn't start getting regular minutes until the 11th game of the season and since then has recorded an impressive eight double-doubles this season and he's averaging 18.3 ppg and 10.5 rebounds per game in the month of February. He may resemble a goon from a mobster movie, but he has been in beast mode this month.

Minnesota Stiffs:

Darko Milicic: Enough said.

Anthony Randolph: The former 14th overall pick of the 2008 draft (by the Golden State Warriors) still can't find consistent minutes since moving to the Wolves from the Knicks (in the Melo trade). All his hype has been for naught.

Unless I am wrong, and I am never wrong

After tonight, the nuggets will be exactly half way through the season. Man this season is going by fast.

I’m just going to close my eyes and cringe the first time Andre Miller is asked to guard Kevin Love tonight. I agree that you either need size or energy on Love. Let’s hold him to less than 20-20 tonight.

IMHO

Love is going to get his 25-15 tonight no matter who we throw at him, the key tonight needs to be who we have him cover. Love couldn’t guard a couch if he was asked, trust me I watch the T Wolves quite a bit, so we need to throw somebody at him that is going to be able to take advantage of his horrendous defense. We get somebody going against him, they will slide their center over to help or slide the SF, which then gets our guys open shots.

The kid can play though. when you watch him tonight, pay attention to where he looks. He tries to figure out what the opposing player is going to do and plays 2 steps ahead. He is wrong a bit, but he is still learning in the NBA, but when he is right, it makes for amazing plays

by ThrowItDownBigManThrowItDown on Feb 20, 2012 3:40 PM MST up reply actions  

IMO

I spent 2 years derogating RR, the organization making a big deal of him, the soft competition he faced in Europe while his stats were slowly tanking then it took

all of 5 minutes of watching RR in his first burn with the wolves to realize that the kid could flat out play and his passing ability is on par with passing prodigies. Also, RR is tall, long arms, can jump, run and a rel pest on defense and at boards.

Besides that, he’s nothing special

by sgiustra on Feb 20, 2012 4:05 PM MST up reply actions  

I have softened my stance on Nene and AAA but here are three guys who we should look to move

Miller-The guy does have his moments but then he puts together a string of games where he looks disinterested. Plus I’m sick of the 2 PG lineup. When we have all our guys back, GK will sit one of them in favor of Miller in crunch time. I don’t like that.

Bird- love the way Brd is playing but he’s officially on the block. Maybe GK is playing him a lot late in games to show his value to other teams. Plus he will be back to rotting on the bench when we get all our guys back

Big Al- Some of you might find this an unpopular choice but he’s given us very little lately. Most of that isn’t his fault however, GK is running him into the ground. I just think it’s time to move him and give our younger big men more opportunities

Rotoworld bit on Wilson

Wilson Chandler’s agent and the Nuggets continue to engage in negotiations on a multi-year deal, sources tell CBS’ Ken Berger.
Chandler will be at the Nuggets game Monday as he awaits a deal. It’s widely assumed that a contract will be reached shortly. Chandler will join a crowded wing situation in Denver that currently includes Corey Brewer, Arron Afflalo, Rudy Fernandez and Al Harrington. Danilo Gallinari (ankle) will also be back at some point after the All-Star break.

by the real stranger on Feb 20, 2012 5:06 PM MST reply actions  

i take issue with one point in Rotoworld item

there is no crowd in the wing situation

Gallo is out, Al is taking backward steps, Rudy is an avg player. Brewer deserves minutes because he is really finding a niche here. We’ve got lots of minutes.

Finally, betya that more injuries make Will signing valuable

by sgiustra on Feb 20, 2012 5:11 PM MST up reply actions  

Rudy will most likely stay here behind afflalo for the remainder of the season

OT: What did Stiffs think of the game last night?

I missed it (out of town) but was rather surprised that this reeling Denver squad was able to take the Thunder to OT. Are you guys impressed and hopeful that a Denver team missing two starters and a key backup played the top team in the west so well, or are you mad and upset that they squandered several leads and bungled OT?

Hmmm?

Kmart sucks

I just don’t like his game. He’s inconsistent from night to night; prone to taking bad shots at inopportune times. So-so rebounder.

But most of all, I hate that big fat shrug smirk he always wears on his face. That and his retarded lip tattoos he has had on his neck.

STIFF LIST (as of 4/26 by Andrew Feinstein)

1. METTA WORLD PEACE

Metta resorted back to Ron Ron last Sunday by clubbing James Hardenwith an "inadvertent celebratory elbow", landing him a 7-game suspension. Apparently, changing his name didn't prevent NBA commissioner David Stern from overlooking Metta's past behavior problems.

2. CHARLOTTE BOBCATS

The 'Cats are on the verge of securing the worst winning percentage in NBA history. Given that the guy who runs the team - Michael Jordan - had previously drafted Kwame Brown and Adam Morrison, should this really be a shock?

3. OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER
The team that was supposedly built to overcome the lockout-shortened season managed to lose 7 of its last 14 games, ceding the Western Conference's 1-seed to the Spurs in the process. Their reward might be a first round matchup with defending champion Dallas.

4. BILLY HUNTER AND DEREK FISHER
With report after report coming out about NBPA union head Hunter's shady, nepotistic dealings and questions arising about Fisher's own role in dealing with NBA owners behind Hunter's back during the lockout, this off-the-court scandal could prove to be more exciting than the playoffs themselves!

5. STEVE NASH AND THE PHOENIX SUNS
The Suns are on this list for squandering the last few great seasons from Nash. Nash is on this list for his stupidly stubborn loyalty to a franchise as awful as the Suns.
