This is some sloppy, sloppy basketball. I feel like the game hasn't started yet.

(Low expectations * Bad teams) + first half of the season = Low board turnout

it simple math... Check my work though.. I might have forgotten to carry the 1

But man...when we actually move the ball we look OK!

I don't like the Timberpup's court. I keep looking up thinking that there is something wrong with the color on my television.

Damn Sasha P. just drove past Batt with ease.. Batt showing his Age?

the commentator from the timberwolves made the game so much worse... boring!

I think that Shane has gotten to the point where he "saves it" for certain games, and goes easy in others.

hey Timberwolves fan here. I thought I might increase board traffic here

. anyway, I wanted to say that I really like the way the Rockets are playing. Scola has become one of my favorite players. he so gritty and he knows how to play the game. if we hadn't already too many PFs I'd love to have him on the Wolves roster.

People really need to see Luis play to appreciate what he can do. Same can be said for so much of our squad.

Hopefully Luis will have a chance to impress you much, much, much more in the second half!

Tubby Smith gushing about Chuck Hayes. You know he's proud of his progress in the NBA!

Yeah, the flow is nice. Does he live up in the Minneapolis area now?

the commentator cannot count. - rox up by 4... haha. it's 6!

DreamShook34 · Post #18 » by **DreamShook34** » Thu Nov 19, 2009 2:31 am

Ariza cant beat anyone off the dribble.. I mean NO ONE.. centers, SGs, SFs, Power forwards... nobody.. its kinda sad.. I know he cant dribble but this is ridiculous.. you'd think he would get lucky sometimes..

As soon as I post that I remember where he's coaching now.

Yes, tonight is a blonde moment night for ol' Butters.
