OC Dooley:
1 UNIT” NBA INTANGIBLE (Timberwolves +5 at Bucks in a 8:35 eastern tipoff): Visiting Minnesota has special motivation for tonight after Milwaukee point guard Brandon Jennings proclaimed two years ago at a pre-draft workout that Ricky Rubio was just quote “all hype”. This is the same Rubio (number five pick of the 2009 draft) who finally has arrived in America to play in the NBA and in his professional regular season NBA debut last night dished out 6 assists, while committing no turnovers. There is plenty of excitement with the Timberwolves as Rubio now joins forces with Derrick Williams who was the #2 overall pick of the most recent NBA draft. Also on the T-Wolves roster is former Bucks guard Luke Ridnour who is familiar with tonight’s opponent. Due to the league lockout these two teams are meeting just once this regular season, but it is worth noting that the Wolves have been able to split each of the past four meetings with the Bucks. Even though Minnesota lost their home opener last night, they battled back from a 12-point second half deficit and nearly pulled off an upset against a superior opponent ( Oklahoma City). Last night was the season debut for Milwaukee which saw the team cough up an enormous 14-point halftime lead and lose on the road at Charlotte. Making his Bucks debut last night was veteran Stephen Jackson who was held to just 6 points on the scoreboard. My research indicates that in the past two years Milwaukee has been a disaster (1-9 ATS) when facing an opponent from the Northwest Division, which is the case in this particular contestComment
