Minnesota Timberwolves Talk

A list: 1. Moving to Wisconsin. 2. Being attacked by a swarm of bees 3. Lutefisk That's about it. Which means I'd rather have my sex organs smashed in a vice, drink a glass of a homeless man's urine, or spend a day with Miley Cirus than watch a single game of NBA basketball.

@PeteCarroll: The Clippers would be so fortunate to get Steve Ballmer as owner. He's a great competitive force & would bring big energy to the LAC fanbase. You got that right, Pete. http://youtu.be/RYMH3qrHFEM

Brave indeed. Chris Broussard is off his rocker. And forget "tolerance" and move toward acceptance.

No one has even started a thread about them this year yet? Are people that down on them? I'm not the world's biggest basketball fan, but this team could have a pretty solid rotation once Love and Rubio come back, assuming good health at that point.

Get Ready!

Smooth as a baby's bottom...

In case you missed it, K-Love went off on the T-Wolves in a recent interview, going as far as to call out his GM and owner: Kevin Love unsure about Timberwolves' future - Yahoo! Sports I've heard a lot of different takes, but most seem to feel that while some of his complaints have merit, airing them when and how he did was bad form. So he's taken some flack for it. I have a mixed reaction to it. On the one hand, I appreciate the honesty. Fans often complain about star atheletes answering questions with one cliched non-statement after another,but then when a guy goes off-script and says something controversial, they blast him being unprofessional and having bad jud…

Per Fox Sports homepage. Wolves are trying to offer D Williams. You have got to be kidding me. What is wrong with this franchise?

What are people's opinion of this trade? Chase Buddinger and the rights to......that one guy... that I don't remember the name of.

The Washington Post has a sports column today by Sally Jenkins that might be of interest to folks here. The column summarizes a Georgetown Law Journal article that provides support for the widespread preference for referees to go easy on technically correct but minor calls (e.g., lane violations) near the end of a basketball game. The basic logic is simple: the reason for fouls and other penalties is to prevent the perpetrating team from gaining an unfair advantage; but penalties at the end of the game matter more, because there's less opportunity to overcome them, so a penalty that provides the appropriate degree of compensation to the other team early in the game can …

This afternoon, the results of Ricky Rubio's MRI were released. Torn ACL. Out for the season. 6-9 months of rehab. Will miss the Olympics and the start of next season. What does it mean for the Wolves? Can they maintain that 8th spot in the Western Conference? What happens at the Point Guard position beyond Luke Ridnour. To trade or not to trade? What say you?

The Timberwolves had an exciting first half of the season and are sitting at 17-17 at the All-Star Break. Can the T-Wolves make a playoff run in the second half? Leave your predictions in the space below

This weekend, the NBA had its all star weekend. Friday night was the celebrity game and the rookie and second year player games. Saturday was the skills competition, the 3-point contest (won by Kevin Love) and the dunk contest (including Wolves Derrick Williams). Sunday night was the All-Star game itself. The NFL's Pro Bowl is just a game and it's between the league championship games and the Super Bowl. The NHL... I have no idea what they do besides a game. MLB's All Star game is generally considered to be the best. There is a HR Derby. Which All-Star festivities are the best? If baseball did decide to do some sort of skills competitions (besides the HR De…

The NBA announced today that Kevin Love would be suspended without pay for the next two Timberwolves games because he stepped on Rockets' Luis Scola's face. What say you of the suspension?
