Wolves Game Three: Wolves vs. Hornets - Wrap-Up

Not a whole lot to say about this one because I missed it while running around town. Although I get the feeling I wouldn't have had much to say about it anyway. 99-92 Wolves win it. Kevin Garnett with 29 points and 15 boards, about par for the course. By all accounts, it sounds like a pretty boring game.

Pacers come to the Target Center Tuesday in the Wolves next game. The Indiana Pacers have to be my favorite Eastern Conference team. Jermaine O'Neal is a credit to the NBA for being a general, all-around good guy. He once made a half-assed promise to a teenage girl at an autograph signing when she asked him on a whim to take her to her prom ... and he actually followed up on it. Everything I've heard about him is good. So while I'll want the Wolves to win big, deep down I'll be rooting for Jermaine O'Neal as well. Should be a very entertaining game.

I've never really liked Shaq, and I think he may be just a little over-rated. I think a lot of his so-called "talent" comes from just being a tall, massive, hell of a man. Jermaine is certainly tall as well, but he's not as massive as Shaq. Jermaine may actually have more talent than Shaq, but has less to work with. I doubt anyone could make a strong arguement saying that Jermaine is a better basketball player than Shaq, but I wouldn't mind seeing that debate heat up with both players in the Eastern Conference now. I hope ESPN or TNT or somebody shows one of their match-ups against each other. That'd be fun to watch, for sure.
