We are struggling right now plain and simple.  Our trainer Gregg Farnam had me stay at home so I was not at Boston for the game.  Gregg wanted me to get a lot of treatment for my injured ankle so that hopefully i can get back to playing this week.  I am actually dying to be ready for the Lakers game.  It's always great playing against Phil Jackson and Kobe.

I was lucky to have TV's in our training room and weight room, so while I was doing all of the rehab in the Target Center with our assistant trainer, I watched as much of the game as I could.  Troy Hudson, Garnett and Ricky Davis all hit huge three pointers for us.  But it was really Troy who gave us a huge spark.  Troy has always had big games against the Lakers, so I'm thinking he'll probably start again on Tuesday when L.A. comes to the Twin Cities. 

Having a sprained ankle is brutal.  You sit there and basically work out for hours each day doing ankle drills, stationary bike and the Eliptical Machine. Then you try to freeze your foot (not really, but it just feels like it) with ice for 20 minutes to get the swelling out.  I REALLy am hoping to be back soon.  Man, I neglected this blog for a little while because I was so busy with ankle stuff, but I'll be writing more stuff soon.

My old teammate Ervin Johnson used to say "365 days is too long not to laugh."  I know we're losing, but I'm going to try to use some humor in the locker room to get us more loose and back on track.  I'm going to share some stuff on this blog too that has happened in the locker room in the last few months that's pretty funny too.  Have a great Monday !!!
