Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks took in the Wolves/Grizzlies game on Wednesday before their show in Mpls that night.
From Jon Behm/Spin:
The T-Wolves "utterly dominated," said Malkmus…
Britt Robson/On The Ball on the win over Memphis:
Let the record show that Randy Foye and Rashad McCants were a combined 11-31 FG last night, and that it doesn’t even come close to revealing how well they played, individually and together. The standing cavaet here is that this was the Memphis Grizzlies, not quite as pathetic as the Clippers without Kamen the other night, but certainly earning their new status as one of the three worst teams in the NBA (the Wolves are now 4th, crushing ping pong balled dreams throughout the frozen tundra).
Steve Aschburner/SI.com on the Foye for Roy trade:
Since that draft, Portland is 6-2 in head-to-head meetings, including a 4-0 sweep this season. Roy, the 2007 Rookie of the Year, made it to New Orleans last month as a member of the Western Conference All-Star squad. He has led the Blazers in scoring 34 times this season and in assists 37 times, and has scored at least 25 points in 20 games. He scored 22 or more in all four meetings with the team that drafted him.
Who knows, if the league’s best newcomer had clicked instantly with Kevin Garnett in Minnesota a year ago, the entire look of the NBA might be different right now.
