I have to say, Carney air balls a fair number of those 3's while still hitting at a decent clip (35.6% 3's after this last game is factored in).


I noticed this too, my friend is a lot like that with his 3's... all or nothing.

Glad you were well enough to at least come home the same day! hopefullly any injuries you had heal quicker than Brewer's or Miller's sometimes seem to ;)

thanks bro....well just a bruised elbow and some mild concussion, a wolves' win tonight already makes me feel much better =)

I actually hope Miller and Brewer can be back to 100% sooner tho.......coz i couldnt play for the wolves anywayz, but ya, its lovely to see us rolling lately, let's bring on the Heats!

We didn't extend Carney, which I believe was the right choice at the time. We told him he would have to show us he deserved a contract, and he said he was fine with this. We'll see what happens.

nice to see this team remaining undefeated! I couldn't watch the game because I was on a party thinking that I wouldn't find any pie anyway... too bad there was some pie. regardless of that, all that counts is a W and we got the W :D

Fun game to be at, a comeback win at home. Rodney Carney was absolutely on fire. I got to stick it to some annoying bucks fans after we won.

I think I'll go stroll over to their boards tonight, after the Bulls were outscored 15-4 in overtime tonight by OKC in Chicago.

Maybe we'll lose that "Worst loss of the season" tag.


I always like reading other teams' game threads too; mostly I'm interested how other teams perceive individual Wolves players and if somebody overrates one of our players by chance, I immediately hit the trade checker and try to come up with something to RealGM them with.

The best one was a Grizzlies message board on a different site and everybody was lamenting a loss to the lowly Timberwolves. A team that's also in the bottom third of NBA not understanding how they could lose to a team that had a slightly worse record.

Some of the Bux fans were also a little too at a loss for words considering the Bucks - while better than the Wolves - are also a sub .500 team. But theres some funny posters over there, I liked in the post-game thread one of them wrote something like "in other news, I just picked off a Jake Delhomme pass". Right as I was reading that post, Delhomme was on TV mentally making witness protection plans after his 5th interception

MIN isn't great, but we're not as bad as everyone was trying to make us .. including several of our own so-called "fans." Its nice to see a few fans are noticing.


The Wolves were 4-23 coming off a 22 win season, thinking the Wolves were castastrophically bad was justifiable. Something has changed in the last 10 games though, and it's fun to watch.
