There is no reason to throw LaVine under the bus before we have even seen him play his natural position.

What I do hope, though, is that they are telling him every day to go to the basket. He is the quickest player on the court in 90% of all cases. In theory nobody should be able to stop him from driving to the hoop and dropping the basketball in the orange ring .

Truth, that's why they gotta tell the center to get out once in a while. Kinda difficult for him to attack when Pek or Dieng are just planted there/give him a pick then roll right toward the basket

You guys, I went to the game last night and I'm still reeling. That was an amazing atmosphere. The only sporting event that topped that for me was Game 163 for the Minnesota Twins in 2009.

I hope Andrew Wiggins and Ricky Rubio took note of what being loyal to us brings...

KG being back still feels surreal. I've watched that KG intro video about five times now.

Minnesotans love charming "good character" guys. It is why we embraced Rubio from the start, and why Kevin Love never got the same attention.

Success and longevity can push Rubio to a similar status as KG, I feel.

He'll be off the Wolves in 1 year it's pretty obvious they don't want him. Some good team will pick him up and make him good though.

Probably whatever Chinese team Beasley is playing on.

I'm pretty sure the Heat just signed beasley today

Does Rubio eat honey nut Cheerios and head butt opposing players when the ref's not looking too?

I wonder what Shabazz would have been like in this game. Pretty sure he would have just spontaneously combusted from feeding of the crowds energy. That or he would have popped the ball on a dunk.

I would think he would've been on the floor when we made the initial push, but does that mean Martin would've been on the bench? Because Kevin was a big part of getting back into it... Or would he be in Neal's spot?

Saltine · Post #357 » by **Saltine** » Fri Feb 27, 2015 8:27 am

I think Neal got Bazz's minutes... maybe Payne as well.

What about Wiggins?
