I’m going to get crucified for saying this, but our Russian friend Alexey “Shveddy Balls” Shved has been, aside from a few games, pretty awful this year. He’s shot below 40% from the field in well over half his games, and while he’s a good passer and plays the game smartly, he really shouldn’t be getting big minutes until he fixes his three-point shot (or stops taking it). The Minnesota commentators were going nuts this game because the Shvedophile actually made some baskets instead of going 0-of-7 or 2-of-11 like his last two games.
You may pelt me with pierogi if you wish. Your anger only serves as fuel for my descriptions. Pierogi, oh man, so tasty…yum. Pelt me with some beef Stroganoff too while you’re at it.
