  • The Timberwolves have Officially Reached the Rebuilding Stage

    What took them so long? Back in the early 2000s the Minnesota Timerberwolves showed some promise. They surrounded Kevin Garnett with Sprewell and Cassell and the Wolves made it all the way to the Western Conference Finals in 2004 (only to lose to the Lakers). Following their trip to the WCF, the Wolves...

  • Drunk and Masturbating

    Don't know if I can top the lead off paragraphs to this story about Minnesota Timberwolves center Eddie Griffin: On March 30, Minnesota Timberwolves center Eddie Griffin was drunk and masturbating when he crashed his luxury SUV into a parked Suburban outside a store in Minneapolis, according to a lawsuit...

  • The Resurgence of the Eastern Conference

    So it's playoff time again, and this year's playoffs look like they'll be one of the most even and exciting in quite a while. This year, IMO, has finally seen the resurgence of the East. Sure, last year we had some great teams in the East (notably Indiana & Detroit), but this year boasts even greater...

  • $5 Down the Tube

    With Minnesota's loss last night to Seattle the Timberwolves are officially out of the playoff hunt in the West, and I am $5 poorer. I was in Vegas prior to the start of the season and (foolishly) put down $5 on the T-Wolves for winning it all this year, who had 5-1 odds at the time. Last night's loss...

  • Preview of Minnesota Timberwolves @ Phoenix Suns - 4/1/05

    The Phoenix Suns have been without Amare Stoudemire for that past few games, but he is expected to rejoin the lineup tonight against Minnesota. The Suns have continued their winning ways without Amare, but they desparately needed him in the lineup to contain & offset the production of Kevin Garnett...

  • This and That...

    The NBA has seen two darling teams emerge this year: the Sonics and the Suns. The Suns, though, have been falling from favor as of late, tonight losing their fourth in a row to Detroit, 80-94 . This game, like the three previous loses, was without assist leader and floor general Steve Nash, who'll remain...

  • My Insanely Inaccurate 2004-2005 Predictions

    Accurately predicting the outcome of an NBA season is hard enough when you have just a core of stable, dominant teams, but it's near impossible this year, with so many teams in the league reaching parity, thanks in part to some blockbuster trades and player movements in the offseason. (On an aside, can...

  • One of the Noisiest Offseasons in Memory

    Usually NBA offseasons are pretty quiet, nothing too interesting happens. A big trade, perhaps, an early retirement, or maybe a surprising un-retirement. But usually the months between July and October are pretty uninteresting for us NBA fans. This offseason, though, has been the exact opposite, with...

  • The Latest on Payton and Malone...

    This time last year I was wondering whether the addition of Payton and Malone would help or hurt the Lakers ... and now, a year later, I'm wondering what will happen to these two likely Hall of Famers. Payton, who has been traded to the Celtics, is still not happy about the trade and is still insisting...

  • Lakers Pick Up Game 3

    Well, I didn't get to see this game, but I did get to listen to the last six minutes or so on my drive home. Sounded like an odd game - Kobe not scoring in the first half; GP with 18 points . About the only thing that did seem familiar was the outcome - Lakers win 100-89 ; Shaq's free throw shooting...
