Nicholas Batum with the first 5x5 since AK tonight. Interesting, since he was the original target for Minny's SF search.

Mediocre game yesterday. Still hard to peg this team as a whole, especially re: Kevin Love's impact.
Fun article on AK in Minny: http://www.foxsportsnorth.com/12/18/...9&feedID=10354
Best quote: "He's operating by his own set of rules -- just ask Rick Adelman. 'There are times, offensively, I'm not sure what he's doing,' the coach said in November. 'He's all over the place. But the effort he gives . . . you've got to give him freedom.'"

22/4/2/1 10-16 FG, 2-3 3pt in a loss vs Miami. Easily was the best player on the court matching or soemtimes even outplaying LBJ. No Rubio and Love with Pekovic missing tons of shots doomed them in second half.

Last two games AK played like crap... anyway, he is nr. 2 behind only K.Durant on this list - pretty interesting stuff.

I have always been a fan of AK. Im not in with the group of haters. I think he has a nice positive impact on the game. Its too bad that Jazz nation and the front office had it out for him. We could really use him right now.
What did he sign? 3 years 10 mil a piece? Well we just got Marvin for 8 mil at 2 years ( yes, he will opt in for the money) Marvin is garbage. Id take AK over Marvin anyday.
AK has faded in the last stretch. He's played some good defense--though Adelman inexplicably left Shved on Harden last night--but his offensive contributions have been much more in tune with latter-day AK, including some dreadful drives to the baskets and terrible finishes. FG% is dropping quickly. His minutes are also down a little, but that's to be expected.
Wish they would go ahead and bite the bullet and make Rubio the starter with Shved/Pek/Love/AK. Makes no sense to keep bringing him off the bench if he's not going to close games regardless.

20/5/4 game in a win over Suns. Kind of interesting 10-13 FG... no FT or 3s attempted. Next game vs Jazz!

I enjoyed watching AK play against the Jazz. he had a good line but the T-Pups couldn't hit the broad side of the barn with there shots. Jazz played one of there better games, Wolves one of there worst. AK got a lot of cheers when introduced. And thats the way it should have been
wow u guys really really like ak huh
Miny is weird team. Sucks completely vs Jazz and then next night goes to Denver, loses Love in 3 quarter and still wins it. 14/4/3/3 game for AK.

Kevin Love refractures finger, out another four to six weeks, probs.

Just watched the end of the wolves game. The commentator mentioned that AK is 1 assist away from 2000 and 1 steal away from 1000 for his carrier. Glad that I got to watch most of those while he was with the Jazz.
