When the Timberwolves' schedule was
released last August, Jonny Flynn searched
for one date before any other. "I had to see
when we go to Madison Square Garden, first
thing," the rookie said. "I've been looking
forward to it ever since."

Lots of NBA players anticipate their moment
on the league's most famous court. But Flynn
has already had several, most notably his 34-
point performance in Syracuse's six-
overtime victory over Connecticut in the Big
East quarterfinals last March.

"That 10-hour game, that put me on the
national scene," Flynn said. "That game takes
up a big memory block in my mind."

He'll return on Tuesday night, when the
Timberwolves' three-game road set
continues against the Knicks. Flynn, who
grew up in upstate New York, said he was in
awe of the Midtown Manhattan arena as a
child, and he can't wait to suit up as a
professional in front of a crowd -- several Dozen, he expects -- of friends and family
members from Syracuse and Buffalo.

"To get the whole effect of Madison Square
Garden, you have to appreciate its history --
all the music, boxing, sporting events,
everything," Flynn said. "I'm lucky -- some of
the best moments of my life came in that
building."

Two young teams playing for respect, Nate wishes he wasn't hurt for this one that would be a pretty good matchup.

Now will MDA play douglas early enough to get into the game, or will he ride the wave with Duhon.

Don't you mean two crappy teams playing to stop the losing?

This is it guys... six games up coming that we can win. Then it gets tough.

You can be a crappy team and still play for respect.

Nate Robinson, who has a strained hamstring, also sat out and probably will miss his second straight game. Al Harrington is still bothered by a sore knee – fluid from his calf that drove up to behind the knee area.
