Wolves @ Bulls
7pm CST

First off, let's take a step back and enjoy how this looks.

Even formatted poorly that looks great.

Now, onto Kirilenko. Let me start by saying that his basketball reference page is currently available for only 47 90 dollars. I'd like to get someone over Canis on that right away. Six, klaw, I think you guys have some pull over there, right? In this morning's CoC I suggested that AK is probably the second best player on this team after love. I know we are all Rubio fans boys but even on Rubio's best days I don't know if he impacted games the way Kirilenko does.

5 game sample size in mind, Kirilenko would have season highs in the following statistics right now:

Field Goal Percentage: .629
3 Point Percentage: .500 (As sustainable as the Knicks)
True shooting: .673
Effective Field Goal: .657
Rebound %: 13%
Assist %: 19.8%
Offensive Rate Per 100 Possessions: 119
Defensive Rate Per 100 Possessions: 95
Win Shares Per 48: .217

All of this is being done with a next to career low usage rate of 15.4%.

Yes, again, I am fully away of sample sizes and the sustainability of some of the statistics listed above. With that said, there is a reason this guy is getting 10 million bucks and so far, he is on pace to be worth every penny of it.

Wolves are +8 or +300 on the money line tonight. Don't everyone run to Vegas all at once.

  5. I am not sure what is on Kirk Hinrich's face but he looks like Robin less the cape.

  6. I feel like Pek is taking shots from further away from the basket this year that last. That probably isn't a great thing for his shooting percentage but I suppose it is good for his development.

    1. I think you are right on that. that weird angle,on the baseline hook shot is pretty low percentage

      1. It seems like Williams is taking a fair amount of shots from that same place on the court this season. I don't like it.

    2. I remember some talk last year that Pek was very capable of hitting from 15-18 feet during practice, but he didn't seem to feel comfortable shooting those during the game. I'd say if he's willing to shoot those now, great!
      Not sure what to think about the hook shot. I guess since Darko is gone, someone has to shoot those, huh?

  11. The Wolves need to extend this lead while the Bulls second unit is on the court. The Bulls first team looked really effective against the Wolves in the first.

  15. Missed most of the first. Wolves look good again. Man, I've seen a lot of seasons where a guy like Cunningham would be a 30-35 minute guy on this club. He's pretty good for a fourth forward.

      1. How is the MSM going to react when KAAAAAAAAAHN is in the executive of the year discussion?

  25. This is a good guy check for this team. On the second night of a back to back. Just got kicked in the teeth by the opposing defense. Good time out by Coach. This would be a great win on the road if they come back.

  26. So, I see D-Will is O-fer-10. He's no Wes Johnson, but he needs to start figuring out how to play to his strengths, and soon.

    1. I remember a game last year when our Unicorn was something like 0-10 before hitting a game tying 3. I am pretty positive something similar will happen tonight.

      1. I am starting to worry my prediction isn't going to have a chance to materialize.

        1. It's getting closer than I thought it would. And there might be enough injuries for D-Will to make it back on the floor, too.

          1. I appreciate the assist in the stat department. Which is more than Derek Williams could say tonight.

  29. It was cool while it was working but there is no need to give Cunningham the ball at the top of the key on every possession.
