Haven't posted since my usual pregame post yesterday. Stayed off the board last night to cool off, but I'm glad the league didn't suspend or fine Wemby. They let it get to that point with every little push, grab, hold on literally every possession that goes uncalled. I think a message will be sent and the officials will be looking for it much more going forward (maybe that's just wishful thinking). The most frustrating part about last night's game, and this series as a whole, is it's painfully obvious that we're the better basketball team. We should have won game 1 with our two best offensive players having horrendous nights, and we should have won game 4 with our best player getting ejected early in the game. Minnesota can't out play us, so they have to turn it into slugfest and try and drag us into that sort of game. I really think we win the next two fairly comfortably after the lack of calls came to a head with Wemby's ejection.
I'm sure all of this has already been said and discussed, but I ain't going back and reading all the stuff I missed.
I bet the biggest challenge for this team will be NOT over exerting early in game 5. Wemby especially needs to stay calm and focused.
