Point guard Randy Foye should make a difference for
the Wolves once he’s cleared to resume all basketball activities, which
could be as soon as Monday, when he’s scheduled to have his injured
left knee re-examined.

Sichting said he thinks it will take Foye a week or
two of practice to get in game shape. But once he’s ready, Foye should
add more scoring punch and ability to the free-throw line, among other
things.

"We all call and talk to each other all the time," Brewer said. "I’ll
talk to Joakim two-three times a week. Me and Al will talk every other
day, Taurean maybe once a week. Chris is right here. It’s been a big
adjustment for all of us, but we keep each other pumped up. We’re all
going to make it in this league."
A scheduling quirk allowed Brewer, Richard and Horford to enjoy an
evening together in the same city without a game to play, but it won’t
happen too often, not with hectic travel schedules and back-to-back
games.
"It’s kind of like a little fraternity we have," Richard said before
the Timberwolves-Hawks game Thursday. "We’re on different teams now,
but we still support one another. And we all need it to some degree."
Marko Jaric after last night’s game:
"This is the best basketball ball I have played since I have been here.
Hopefully we are going to continue winning and hopefully I will stay
here."

Rick Alonzo/Pioneer Press on Saturday’s game:
Many in the sellout crowd of 19,356 stood in the
final minute. Wolves fans have wanted a reason to cheer. The Wolves
gave it to them with one of the most surprising upsets in the NBA this
season.

"I think they did a great job inside, particularly,"
Suns guard Steve Nash said. "I don’t know the numbers, but it seems
like they got a lot of rebounds."

Our guy, Gomesy, is averaging 24 minutes a
game, 8.9 points and four rebounds. He’s started all but one game. A
day doesn’t go by when someone doesn’t tell me that they rue the day
Gomes was dispatched to the prairie in the trade that made the Celtics
a winner, and the T-Wolves a disaster.
