Notcoincidental, Jonny expresses Camera Obscura Flynn, had camera obscure examines his statistical fourth best game as a pro this season with 17 points.Yes 10 of these came in the first quarter, and yes 10 of these were the team’s first 24 points overall as the Wolves actually led 29-28 on the road in Los Angeles, but for the first time since the November 11th loss to Portland where Flynn scored 15 points and had six assists, he looked like a capable player again.Sure he scored 20 points two nights prior against at Golden State Warriors in Oakland but not only did that team blow the Wolves out of the water by 41 points making Flynn’s “efforts” irrelevant, but Flynn alsocommitted a career-high six turnovers.This dubious feat would only last a few nights later when on November 14, this young statistic was matched against Memphis in what had to be seen then as a very winnable game, especially when you consider the Allen Iverson turmoil surrounding the team and the fact the Wolves only lost this game by 10 in the battle of putrid teams.As you can tell, as Flynn goes, so go the Timberwolves, and until Kevin Love comes back, there won’t be, and there isn’t a whole lot more to look forward to, and he is our face of the franchise, our future, Rubio, notwithstanding.This is why, if you can’t tell, I am hyping up Flynn and hoping for his continued maturity, experience and success. Even the lamest fan has to know what he and his fellow rookies are doing can’t be easy.More Brandon Jennings thoughtsFor those of you still pining over the non-drafting of eventual rookie of the year, Brandon Jennings to which I alluded to in my previous article on the Wolves which I have linked above, he is coming off his worst statistical nightagainst the Spurs where he only scored 12 points to go with seven assists.What’s more, finally pitted against an elite team, he shot an Allen Iverson-like 6-21 from the field and had five turnovers with a -8 rating meaning, like hockey, when he was on the court, the Bucks, who lost, were actually outscored by eight points He’s gonna have nights like this Like O.J. Mayo, who many Wolves fans wanted but I never did cause he’s poison, he too is human and will have human nights.Still, Wolves fans know, and have seen Jennings ability to put up Iverson like scoring nights with 55 against those same pesky Warriors whom they beat. Sure he’s averaging 25 ppg now and I predict will finish somewhere around there in route to Rookie of the Year, but he’ll also have Mayo shooting nights like last night which ought to make you feel better too.I haven’t heard or read a whole lot of anti-Flynn talk even though there are some Jennings vs Flynn comparisons , but consider the alternative It could be worse. In addition to no-show Rubio, this draft could have been a total waste had we drafted eventual bust DeMar Johnson, uh, I mean DeMar DeRozen (5.5 PPG)  out of Southern Cal (you can see how I made the error as Johnson was an ineffective 2000 lottery bust).Instead he’s the Raptors problem on a team suddenly struggling despite my predicted success for them.

At least we have Flynn, and soon Love, to watch all season-if he doesn’t pull a Gilbert Arenas and sit out all year due to the team being so horrible and saving his health photography camera obscura . What good did that do them? The Wizards not only got their predicted fifth slot but by not moving up where they wanted to get a real elite player in aperceived weak draft, theyultimately traded the pick to us and the rest is history.In Flynn we can instantly gravitate to the stat sheet as I do after every game, and thus loss, to at least see how this lone ray of light did each night I suggest you do the same camera obskura . In a draft that we are finding out now was surprisingly strong on the point guard side, at least we got two of them, one of which can start now and develop now and another we can stash away and hope he comes by the time we need him when we are better.The real disappointment and the source of fan frustration should be at first round bust (so far) Wayne Ellington who I held in high esteem camera obscuro . When you consider his lack of playing time and thus meager stats, his slow start is probably justified however.Sure, its easy to be a Vikings fan now with them 9-1 and all and likely headed for a 15-1 season only to losehome-field thanks to the 16-0 Saints, but the real fans are the ones still following the rebuilding Minnesota Wild and Timberwolves.Despite all the hard times, unlike the past, I still have yet to hear “The Timberwolves? Why do you still care?” or “Why are you still watching/following them?” and at least that is a good sign. la camera obscura .

Niccolo Machiavelli once said, “It is better to be feared than loved, if you cannot be both.”The Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints would clearly answer love since neither team strikes fear into their opponent’s heart.Both teams are considered beatable even though no one in the league has managed to do it camera lucida . So what’s the deal?The deal is that neither team is dominant week in and week out.Sorry Colts and Saints fans, but your teams don’t win with enough conviction. Too many times the Colts and Saints have been pushed to the brink by inferior opponents.

And each team’s defense has shown major weaknesses throughout the season.As soon as teams see you are vulnerable, it is only a matter of time until you get exposed.Go back to the 2007 undefeated New England Patriots.They opened the year 8-0 and were blowing teams out . Without question, teams around the league feared the Patriots.But then a funny thing started to happen pinhole obscura . Teams began to challenge the Pats and there were times when they seemed beatable.The Patriots were pushed to the brink by the Colts, Eagles, Ravens, and Giants.Suddenly this once feared team was not so scary after all.In the playoffs they won ugly against Jacksonville and San Diego lucida obscura . Ultimately the once-perfect Pats fell to the Giants in the Super Bowl.The Colts and Saints have been teetering on defeat all season, which is odd for a pair of teams that are a combined 20-0.Indianapolis opened the season at home with a two-point win over Jacksonville and then escaped with a four-point win on the road against Miami.The last four wins have all been nail-biters and proved the Colts can be had.Those four wins have come by a combined 10 points.A 10-0 team that is feared does not win four games by the slimmest of margins . A feared team rolls opponents like San Francisco and Houston, especially when both games are at home.They were big favorites in each of those games, and the Colts looked nothing short of ordinary.Meanwhile the New Orleans Saints may have the worst schedule ever handed out to a 10-0 team.Start at the top and you tell me where the marquee win is.Detroit (nope), Philadelphia (without McNabb), Buffalo (not so much), New York Jets (complete frauds), New York Giants (riddled with injuries), Miami (is this it?), Atlanta (they are awful on the road), Carolina, St. Louis, and Tampa Bay (maybe next year one of them will be good).Everyone thought this team was a world beater after the New York Giants game, and now they look like they worst 10-0 team ever created.Look at what they’ve done since the game against the Giants.They were getting their doors blown off by Miami, they struggled with a terrible road team in the Falcons, they were down big to Carolina, and they struggled with St.
