Timberwolves v. Celtics Observations

I wish I could have been at the Target Center tonight, but instead I watched part of the game live on my iPhone using the NBA league pass application!!! I have to say that Oleksiy Pecherov is going to be a great player for the Wolves. I even got a text from a friend of … Read more

catching up…

Win Streak, Kevin McHale, Target Center, Al Jefferson, Phil Jackson

A four game win streak is not too bad at all. Since Kevin McHale took over, it has taken time for us to get his system and philosophy but I think that we are all finally starting to click. We are also building on the defensive principles and system that Randy Wittman put into place … Read more

Ron Artest

Ron Artest, Best Defender, Freindship, NBA, Madison Square Garden, Minnesota

Ron Artest is known around the NBA as one of the best, if not the very best defender in the entire NBA. He recently emerged as one of the Houston Rockets go to guys (along with Yao Ming) and is helping them to a great record in the past few weeks. We’ve played them at … Read more

The Lakers Game

Brian Shaw, Kobe bryant, Los Angeles Lakers, NBA, Orlando, Mark Blount

Mark Blount has been having a monster season for us and tonight he did it again. There are very few seven footers play in this league who can MAKE three consecutive three pointers in the last two minutes of regulation….how many seven footers even want to take three pointers in the clutch? Not many. Mark … Read more

I just finished watching…

First Win, Dallas Mavericks, Phoenix Suns, Jason Terry, Arizona Wildcats Men's Basketball Team, TNT

I just finished watching the Phoenix Suns game vs. the Dallas Mavericks. They interviewed Jason Terry at the end of the game on TNT and he talked about how he was literally “on his knees praying” for Dallas to get their first win of the season which they finally got tonight. At the end of … Read more

I wanted to thank Adam

Adam, Allen Iverson, ESPN.com, Kevin Garnett, Mark Blount, Timberwolves

I wanted to thank Adam for his comment (see below). His input poses a great question about our locker room dynamics. Is anyone in the lockeroom hurt from ticket’s [Kevin Garnett’s] excitement over the chance to bring in [Allen iverson]? 10:16:01 AM (Central Standard Time, UTC-06:00) Yeah, I can see how you might wonder what … Read more

A TRADE!!!!!!

Trade, Fred Hoiberg, Wally, Dwayne Jones, Los Angeles, Minnesota, Nikoloz Tshkosvili Phoenix, Ricky Davis, Justin Reed, Marcus Banks, Target Center

Wow!!! Last night I was sitting in my hotel room and the phone rang…….no one ever calls me in my hotel room unless it’s a tricky radio show just trying to see if anyone on our team will answer their hotel phone. All of us players use each others cell phones. It was Fred Hoiberg … Read more
