Slow start is testing Saunders's patience

When Coach Flip Saunders took over as an early-season replacement with the Minnesota Timberwolves in December 1995, his team lost seven of its first eight games. But when Saunders took over the Detroit Pistons nearly 10 years later, his team won its first eight games, setting off his most successful three-year run in the NBA and perhaps spoiling him with the relative ease of the transition.

Saunders's first eight games with the Washington Wizards (2-6) have served as a not-so-friendly reminder that even an amateur magician such as Saunders can't heal injured players and produce wins with the snap of a finger. The early bumps -- especially the offensive inefficiency -- have challenged his patience, but one of his former players, Chauncey Billups, called on Thursday night to help calm him.

Brewer brings energy even if his shot is still a work in progress

Corey Brewer was the seventh overall selection in the 2007 NBA draft. He was such a bricklayer as a rookie that there was the impression the Timberwolves had spent this lofty choice on a player destined to be a defensive specialist.

With no Big Ticket, it's a different show

It was just five years ago, but it seems like a tale from a different age. On a late October evening in 2004, the Timberwolves soared into Sioux Falls to play an NBA preseason game at the Arena, where they drilled the New York Knicks and brought major-league sizzle to a minor-league city.
