From TrueHoop: A shooter is born: Corey Brewer
Before that moment, in the first 130 games of his NBA career, Brewer had taken 102 3-pointers and made 23.
Since that moment, over ten games, Corey Brewer has made almost as many. He has taken 42 3-pointers, and hit 22 of them. That’s an astounding 52%. One more make and he’ll have more makes in three weeks than he had in his first two-plus years.

From Alex Raskin/Hoopsworld: Has Corey Brewer Found His Shot?
“Corey has really improved his shooting as of lately,” Rambis said after his team’s 132-105 Tuesday night loss to the Knicks. “He’s really done a good job working on his balance. We’ve corrected his balance in terms of how he shoots the basketball. When he does it right, he’s a productive shooter for us. It’s a habit that he has where he’s off-balance when he shoots. It’s something he’s going to have to continue to work on throughout the season. When he shoots the ball right, we show him on videotape, his balance is there, the shot is good.”
While Rambis cautions that Brewer’s shot “may look a little bit funny body-wise and hand-wise,” the career 40.8% shooter has quietly adopted those lessons. And as awkward as the shot of a 6-9, 188-pound string bean can look, Brewer’s rapidly becoming respectable. He’s made over 53% of his shots over his last five games thanks in large part to his nine of 10 performance from the field against the Knicks.

Timberwolves coach Kurt Rambis summoned youngsters Jonny Flynn and Kevin Love forward on the team’s flight from Newark to Cleveland after Tuesday’s pathetic 27-point loss to the Knicks.
“I thought we were in trouble,” Love said Wednesday. “I wasn’t sure what we were going to hear after last night’s game.”

Instead, Rambis stood the two players before their teammates and told them they were looking at elected participants to next month’s All-Star weekend Rookie Challenge in Dallas.
Jonah Ballow/Timberwolves site: talks to Larry Bird about David Kahn.
Larry Bird: He’s got some young talent. I thought he did a good job in the draft last year obviously Rubio didn’t come over but we know he has a lot of talent. But he’s going to get more and more picks, obviously they are going to be young and has money to spend. I think when it all comes together it will be good for him.
