Hey Chris,
this is the best time of year in Minnesota. Mild weather, cool
nights.......and most importantly, no bugs!
I think you're absolutely right about the World Series. (The White Sox
are already in as of this note). I was pulling for Albert Pujols and
the St. Louis Cardinals. He's a class act and one of the best players
in baseball. I would have liked (if they don't make it) to see him in
it.
The T'Wolves have an entirely different look to them this year. The
defensive intensity is way up and they're much quicker. That being
said, they don't (at least right now) appear to be as polished
offensively. My guess is that's because of Dwayne Casey's focus with
the squad. He's been preaching defense, defense, defense.
Rashad McCants is going to be special offensively. He is one of very
few players on this team that will be able to create his own shot. The
other surprise has been Bracey Wright. The 2nd round pick from Indiana
can really shoot the ball and he's quicker than I expected him to be
(certainly quicker than I remembered him being in College). He looks
like he has a chance to be pretty good.
We need Wally healthy if this team is going to score effectively.
Let's hope his ankle heals quickly.
I hope school is treating you well Chris!
Best of luck,
JC
