I've been watching this team since the beginning, this team has had many long bouts of terrible basketball, but the big difference in the old days was Kevin Harlan. You could team him with anyone and he made even the worst wolves seasons a joy to watch, he just made the game so much fun. Losing him was as bad as losing KG. Hanneman and Peterson aren't terrible I guess, but they're nothing special, they can't ease the pain of a bad team.

PeeDee and I just ranted to our rep. All he could say was "I understand." PeeDee also got a voicemail recording from David Kahn of how he needs us more than ever now, or something like that. It was a basic canned recording.

I certainly didn't have ridiculous expectations of the playoffs this year. But I did expect a similar trajectory to what the Clippers are doing this year, as opposed to matching the throw-away team of last year.

Kevin Harlan was the man, no doubt.

I'll probably still be a fan no matter how bad they are just because my calendar is pretty wide open, but I reserve the right to have conflicting, if not downright schizophrenic, opinions on all aspects of the team

Is anyone else like me, in that you were feeling so down on this team and FO as recently as a week ago, and yet you still watched both of the games post ASB? I realized as I was watching two truly poor efforts against MKE and MEM that I am hooked.

My friends wonder why I stay with the Timberwolves after the way they beat me, but I just tell em, you don't know the Wolves like I do. I know they really care about me.

I'm in the same boat almost. I'm pretty much out of hope at this point but my damn love for the team isn't going to let me be a causal observer anytime soon. I'm like the woman that stays with her abusive husband becasue deep doesn't she thinks hes' a good person. The wolves abuse me over and over and over again but I keep coming back like a fool.

I'm still waiting for Kahn to use his assets to pounce and make us much better. Instead, we keep using one or two assets at a time on high-risk reclamation projects. We already have the Twins; we don't need another farm team.

I am glad we'll get to see this plan come to fruition or crash-and-burn though. If this pans out....Kahn is going to look like a genious.

I'm starting to belief that while a better coach could get us more wins NOW, in two or three years, Rambis will get us more wins than any other coach. Sense it's a long-term plan...we might as well stick with Rambo. Maybe this is how the FO feels?

I don't think I'll ever stop supporting them, but my interest is waning. Come pre-season I'll probably perk up again and get excited about the new season like always.

FWIW, I don't mind giving Kahn and Rambis another year.

I don't bother watching games anymore as it is, so this doesn't affect me.
