Click here for the forum's thread on tonight's game at Sacramento.

Previews for tonight's game:


Timberwolves coach Randy Wittman said he thought it energized his team when he brought rookie forward Kevin Love and backup point guard Sebastian Telfair off the bench in the first quarter of Wednesday night's 129-125 double-overtime loss to San Antonio.

That could mean a start for one or both players tonight, when the Wolves begin a three-game road trip in Sacramento.

Wittman, asked after Thursday's practice if he is considering any lineup changes, made no attempt to conceal it.


Love and Telfair have been working well together behind the scenes.

"I've seen that in practice already," Telfair said of the two complementing each other. "When [we] get an opportunity to play together, it's a good thing. In practice, we're clicking. Hopefully we can bring that over into games. I'm enjoying playing with him."

By using the two right away, it could be a cure for one of Wittman's biggest concerns so far this season: slow starts.


Look for the Timberwolves to play exhibition games in China in two years, now that team owner Glen Taylor has become chairman of the NBA Board of Governors and an influential member of the league's China committee.


Benjamin Polk/City Pages on Wednesday's game against San Antonio:
Speaking of Randy Foye, much of that offensive improvement seemed to stem from Sebastian Telfair’s return from suspension. Now, Foye’s game was much improved from his 3-14 and 0-10 (nice!) stinkers against Dallas and “Oklahoma City,” respectively—he hit two crucial late jumpers and made some fine passes off drives and pick and rolls—but the offense seemed to flow better with Bassie at the point. I’m pretty sure that Telfair actually is significantly quicker that Foye but the effect is greatly amplified by the fact that the former is just so much more decisive and aggressive with the ball. He attacked the Spurs’ defense with his hyper-kinetic but supple ballhandling and made some gorgeous passes in traffic.
