Blairs shot rims out but it seems like the whole night, every shot the Timberwolves have taken has gotten the bounce. Ridiculous, i mean come on, they are not that great of shooters
Actually, they have a lot of really good shooters.

Didn’t last year we played the Twolves and we were down by like 22 but we came back and won in overtime?

I think Neal is going to be with the team by tomorrow
"He was just a young skinny guy who looked like a winner. We didn’t know he was going to be as good as he is."
—Popovich on Manu Ginobili
so if you are the colts do you draft Luck and trade Peyton?
"He was just a young skinny guy who looked like a winner. We didn’t know he was going to be as good as he is."
—Popovich on Manu Ginobili
I dont know, IMO you at least listen to offers for both of them
"He was just a young skinny guy who looked like a winner. We didn’t know he was going to be as good as he is."
—Popovich on Manu Ginobili
I would keep both and let Luck learn from (one of) the best… Even if you “can’t afford it”, can you afford not to? Look at other teams with no QB, no shot! You could go RG3PO, but you’d have to change your style, Luck’s a better fit.
First!!
oh, wait….
First like Spurs D in the first half.

It was bad during the 1st Q but it got slightly better in the 2nd. The Wolves just kept making those jumpers and tough contested shots.

How long does it take for a fracture in the metacarpal bone to heal?
It takes approximately 6-8 weeks with a cast. If you do not have a cast it will take a lot longer because if you do not have it in the straight position in the healing process it could form the wrong way and you will be scarred for life.

More bone info
Doctor said it’s difficult to heal because of the spot. Which is why they put a cobra cast. Makes your wrist arch backwards in order to get the bones to line up. Hard to get the bone to compress. Usually, they put a screw it.
