Gay Marriage Vote Puts Heat On Christie
The Timberwolves rolled in their first game under Kurt Rambis, beating the Bucks in what was the preseason opener for both teams. Minnesota is likely to care a lot more about these exhibition contests than most, considering they have a new head coach, their best player returning from a knee injury, and a rookie point guard running the team offensively.That's a lot of things to mesh together before the season starts, but Minnesota looked further along than one might have expected, at least in this initial outing.
One especially interesting item from the box score was the line belonging to Jonny Flynn. Because while the rookie was solid in his debut, and finished with 14 points and seven assists, he did so without making a single shot from the field.
Flynn shot 14-for-15 from the free throw line, but missed all five of his field goal attempts. He's not exactly Corey Brewer out there from an offensive standpoint, it's just that he was repeatedly able to get to the rim, thanks in large part to the big screens being set by Kevin Love and Al Jefferson.
The free throws were the most by any Minnesota player, but were only a fraction of the eye-popping 56 total attempts that were taken by the T'Wolves. The Bucks shot 38 free throws of their own, which no doubt made the game quite a treat for the fans who were in attendance.
Back to Flynn, who did an excellent job breaking down the defense and drawing the defenders. The only thing that his coach would like to see is more of him getting his teammates involved, but with all of those free throw attempts -- along with the seven assists in just 26 minutes -- there are a lot of positives to be taken from the rookie's first taste of NBA action.
