Do you know Minnesota TimberTrolls?

[funkatron101]

This has been one of the few bright spots in a crumbled season.

The makers of the Timbertrolls fan group really deserve this for providing not only us but many other (Wolves) fans with so many funny pictures, gifs and videos. If I wasn't so broke right now, I'd donate a few bucks for their campaign to fly over to Minneapolis and watch a game live. They truly deserve this.

Yay - that's my photo! I would gladly give the the poster to the Trolls if they get to make it over here for a game. Would be nice to get Ricky's signature on there, too.

AT was SUPER excited to sign it. I wish the photo with him wasn't so blurry - I asked if he'd pose and a lady snapped that there were no photos allowed. He posed for it anyway, but that's the best I could get while the line was being ushered through.

Beasley was confused by it. He looked at it, frowned, looked off in the distance as if searching his memory to see if it made sense, then shrugged and signed it.

Thanks sooooooooooo much for that EddyCool. I think you should keep the poster. People here are printing their own with the scan you made.

It's nice to know that Tolli was excited to sign it and knowing Beas reaction. People asked at the forum who smiled at seeing the poster.

Thanks a lot to people over there; despite of the dissapointing season after Ricky's injury, we have had a lot of fun this season, lot of laughs with this team, and great great moments (the winning three pointer against the Clipper from Love was awesome). You can bet that Minnesota T-Wolves have a lot of supporters from Spain now, and we all hope to meet some of you at Target Center next season and share some beers (you are invited to all of them EddyCool).

Now let's beat the Nuggets and we will wait anxiously to see how Kahn picks randomly someone at next draft

Glad to know that the large image worked out!

Here're the reactions that I noticed: Tolli and Beas were probably the two really unique reactions. Martell also seemed to be happy to sign it - he looked over at it a few times while he was signing people ahead in the line, and reached across the table to get it to sign as soon as it was his spot to sign, and he had a big smile on his face. Luke and JJ both smiled, but I think they might just be really nice guys. Same for Brad MIller. Wes, though, is THE nicest. I thanked everyone by name when they signed, and got a little faint when Wes smiled and said something like, "Absolutely man."

Anthony Randolph, of course, did not smile.

Pek didn't pay any attention. He just put his name on and continued to speak to Darko in Serbian. Darko was dismissive - as was Kevin, but I think he was just down to business. He kind of considered it for a moment, but was probably just finding the most prominent place to sign (which is why he took the bottom-center) and was on to the next.

Off to the final game!

The Ricky's fashion trend impacts in Minnesota.

Williams is the only one with his authentic nose

ricky can out-hipster anybody in the nba. Westbrook looks like a pathetic poser in comparison.

Is that a young Ricky?!

Is that a young Bud-inger?!

I decided to upload a youtube video to relive the good times. Now with new and improved audio:

Posted this on the Portland boards to lighten the mood.

I bring you, BATUM-GATE: Part 1

Kahn and Olshey at the mythical "Offer sheet turn-in desk." Kahn slowly nudging the offer sheet into the the slot, intensely staring at Olshey.

Kahn: "I'm gonna do it! I'm gonna!"
Olshey: "Do it!....I don't care...I don't care."

Kahn nudges it one inch. Olshey's eyes widen for a brief moment, then...poker face.

Kahn's phone rings. He answers.
Kahn: "Yeah...uh huh...do it...."
Stares back at Olshey.
Kahn: "Darko? Gone. Poof! I'm serious!"

Olshey: "See this face?" (finger points to face shaking ever so slightly from intensity) "I'm totally serious!"

Kahn nudges the offer sheet another half inch..

Olshey: "You know, Nic doesn't even like mosquitoes, he told me... That's right." (nods)

Kahn: "Webster's next...."

Olshey: "You mean the lame horse that we trade to you for that pick?"

Kahn: "I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT!, You are sooo busted!"

Olshey: "S#!T! WAIT! It wasn't me! It was that other guy! Good luck pinning that on me."

Kahn: "Dammit.." (snaps his fingers in disappointment)

All the while, the lady behind the counter is chewing gum and filing her nails.

BATUM-GATE: Part 2

Kahn: "I just dumped Miller with 2 picks! That's how I roll."

Olshey: "I'm the king of dumping players with picks.."

Kahn: "That worked out horribly! Really, that was terrible!"

Olshey:

(long pause)

Olshey: "Wes... Johnson"

Kahn:

BATUM-GATE: Part 3

Lady behind counter: "The NBA offices are now closed. Please come back at 8am."

Olshey: "See you at 8am, Kahn."

Kahn: "I'll be here at 7:50!"

Olshey: "....I'll be here at 7:30!"

Kahn (as Olshey exits the office): "7 'O CLOCK!" (smirks)

Olshey (popping his head back through the door): "6:50 AM!"

Kahn: "Oh yeah? ...I'm gonna sleep here all night!"

Lady behind the counter: "You can't sleep here all night, Mr. Kahn."

Kahn: "...6:50?"
Olshey: "6:50."

[funkatron101]

BATUM-GATE: Part 4

*Olshey, after waiting for him at the NBA office since 6:50am, finally sees Kahn stroll through the front door at 9:35am.

Olshey: "Took you long enough, thought you chickened out."

Kahn: "Wait, that was today, right? Oh, sorry." (grins)

Olshey: "Let's just get this over with."

Kahn finally submits offer to lady behind the counter. She looks it over briefly.

Lady behind counter: "I'm sorry Mr. Kahn, this offer is invalid."

Olshey: "Invalid?! Let me see that!" (takes offer sheet). Why is this written in crayon? Nicolas BatTum? Batum only has one T, what is this crap?"

Kahn: (shrugs)

Olshey: You mean to tell me that I've been dragging my butt down here for the past three days for an offer sheet that isn't even real?!!"

Kahn:

Olshey: "You are a complete ass. You know that? Why would you do this?!"

Kahn:

Olshey:

[Basti]

Well done, Mister. Very well done!
