Practice Report: Sunday, Oct. 28, 2012

  • Wolves guard Brandon Roy said the coaches have been working on trying to give him different looks in offensive sets, not only in scoring roles but also being able to create opportunities for his teammates. “We have some pretty good ideas,” Roy said. “I’m a lot more comfortable I would say now than I was two weeks ago when I was trying to figure out where I wanted to be on the court. Now I feel good going into the first game. I’m good with all the sets. I know the offense and I know where to be at to create some offense.”

 

  • Forward Dante Cunningham said considering the injuries that sidelined Kevin Love (broken right hand) and Ricky Rubio (left knee surgery) for the first part of the season, the Wolves have been able to handle the setbacks and still find ways to work through it. As a result the team is more confident knowing they can work together and compete while both players are recovering. “I guess that’s a positive of the preseason and king of losing [Love] now instead of during the season when we’re actually rolling and everything counts for something,” Cunningham said. “Now we know what it takes to win without him, and we think we’re ready.”
