But tonight’s effort gave credence to the "still recovering from
injury" feeling about Foye; there was physical confidence in this "up."
Yeah, Foye missed a chippie or two, but the shot selection was light
years better than the chuck-fests he showed previously. Maybe this
won’t be so much of a "limbo" season for Foye after all.

From Mark Madsen’s blog:
People make mistakes. I think every human being can relate to this as
no one is perfect. But, if lawmakers think any professional athlete
would be so stupid so as to begin a HGH or steroid program right now,
they are grossly misguided. Professional athletes do watch CNN,
CSpan, FoxNews, etc. We do see the serious legal situations that many
professional athletes of various sports are dealing with due to alleged
drug use. Why would any pro-athlete take that risk today? Even in
the NBA where steroids is pretty much a non-issue, I can guarantee that
pretty much every player would run out of a room if HGH ever came up as
an offer. The NBA has implemted a beefed up drug testing program as a
league for the future as of two years ago.

Ross Siler/Salt Lake Tribune on last night’s game:
I want to talk to Snyder about his reflections on playing for Sloan, so
I head to the Timberwolves locker room as soon as it opens. It might
have been the saddest locker room I’ve ever been in.

Antoine Walker was openly talking about his buyout possibilities with
teammates. Al Jefferson rolled in about an hour and 20 minutes before
tipoff. Snyder came off the court after warmups and talked for five
minutes about his time with the Jazz. He said he wished he hadn’t
stirred up so much "hay" during his rookie season.

Stephen Litel/Hoopsworld on Kirk Snyder’s debut last night:
Snyder’s statistics of six points, two rebounds, three assists, one block, one steal and only one turnover in 24 minutes of action do not jump off the page, but also do not give him justice. With only the remaining games of the Timberwolves season left to stake his claim to a roster spot in Minnesota going further, Snyder started off on the right foot.
Facing an uncertain future, Snyder also now admits that Jazz coach Jerry Sloan was right in everything he said during the rookie season Snyder spent with the Jazz.
"You can tell people until you’re blue in the face," Snyder said, "but when they come around and realize it and go through it in their lives and start to see things manifest, then they say, ‘Somebody told me that.’ "
