TMJF: Portland 106, Minnesota 78

Stat Line: 33 minutes, 3-11 FG, 3-3 FT, 9 pts, 3 assts, 3 TOs.

Flynn got all his points going to the basket in the second half, including one very nice reverse layup. I had the Portland feed for this game on League Pass, and the Blazers' announcers, of all people, were practically begging Kurt Rambis to let Flynn loose. Even if you don't think Minny is sitting on a goldmine with him, almost everyone recognizes that the system they're playing now minimizes everything: Flynn's effectiveness, Sessions' effectiveness, the team's chances of winning, etc. Everyone but the coach.
