Flynn The only time I do that is when I’m out of the game, and the mascots and people are jumping off the trampoline. It was a good one at the Target Center [recently]. They had all the mascots on the trampolines and shooting half court shots. I tuned out for a long time during that one.
Love Yeah, especially when the Klondike stuff is happening and you see Big Al on the screen, you just can’t help yourself. Obviously when the dancers are there, you can’t help but look sometimes...
Rambis credited the recent turnaround to the players’ work ethic and their belief in the coaching staff.
“If you look at where we started and what the team has been through, this team has made tremendous progress,” Rambis said. “I’m very proud of where the players are right now. The guys are executing the offense and doing what it takes to get stops.”
Until Saturday, when the Wolves made only seven turnovers in a 109-102 victory over Memphis, that had led to an avalanche of miscues on the floor — more than any other NBA team, in fact. The Wolves had committed 814 turnovers before Saturday’s game, 36 more than second-worst Phoenix. Jonny Flynn, who handles the ball more than any other Minnesota player, ranks 17th in turnovers per game — but given that the top 10 includes players such as Steve Nash, LeBron James and Kevin Durant, it’s not necessarily anything to be ashamed of.
Still, the Wolves even made their winning streak a little more difficult by committing 51 turnovers in the first three games, an average of 17 a night.
