Why do these trades always happen at night??? Now I won't sleep at all.

I'm tired of Darko's dumb passes and soft layup attempts. Somebody needs to punch him in the **** face before every game.

I hear you. I like Darko but at times it just doesn't seem to click for him & it gets frustrating. Not sure what it is exactly.

Why aren't people more excited about Magic Randolph?! Come on, he's like KG and Amare crossed with Captain Marvel.

That's right.

SHAZZAM!!!

Instead of punching him....someone should write something anti-Serbia on the opponents jerseys. He might end up putting someone in a coma......but we'd see some fire. :onfire: <-since this is the rant thread...I've got to say that this stupid thing makes me laugh every time I "view more smilies".



I'd also like to mention Diva players and how they are ruining the game for me on a personal level. I don't mean fake tough guy "its personal"...I just personally feel a little dead inside when my favorite sport gets reduced to all the stars on 6 teams on the professional level. Stockton and Malone never whined about playing for the Small Market Jazz.....They just picked and rolled every other team to oblivion (except the Jordan era Bulls and Shaq/Kobe era Lakers). I sort of like it when every team has 1 or 2 good players and the TEAM wins.....not when 6 teams have 2 superstars + a few Allstars, 8-10 teams can barely win any games, and the rest are hovering around .500.

I have a question for Wolves fans. I've always wondered why would a coach implement such a intricate system with so many young players? Why not change systems or simplify the triangle? I'm not even sure if you guys run the triangle because I really don't see much Wolves games. I'm assuming you do because of the coach.

I don't know what the heck offense we run. I think it's called crap.

Neither do the players. Every damn player on this team talks about the triangle offense, all the while Rambis says "We don't run the triangle."

Nobody knows. It's become this catch-all excuse for when things go bad, and yet some sort of beacon of hope for the future. Because Phil F**kin Jackson is the Triangle Basketball god.

I see parts of it here and there, but not really that often. Most of the time I see a complete offensive breakdown, Ridnour jacking up and early three, or give the ball to Beasley and hope for the best. When all that fails, cross your fingers and hope that Love gets the put-back.

Don't forget the patented pass-it-to-Darko-so-he-can-turn-it-over play. That's about 30% of the offense right there.

Anybody pissed that we didn't make a bigger trade at the deadline? Was hoping in the back of my mind that we could've got a trade worked out to get Mayo.

I was pissed for about 20 minutes but a lot of that was due to RealGM crashing right at the deadline. I was hoping for a big trade but wasn't really expecting one.

Yeah I didn't like that it crashed on here. Was definitely pissed about that, maybe the word disappointed is better suited for not getting another deal done. I'm sure Kahn was talking with everyone but at least go out and get a vet SG or just a SG in general. Maybe Kahn has something up his sleeve in the offseason?

slightly because I doubt they're keeping all these first round picks and I'm nervous as to where they're going w/ them in the end.

If I would've known we'd be getting this for the money spent on Pekovic/Darko/Webster, I wouldve rather just spent all the cap on 1 year deals for Shaq/Iverson/McGrady and gone on a **** and giggles comedy tour.
