I don't think I'd want to play the Wolves in the playoffs.

We're 9 and 1 in our last 10. Isn't that something? I don't remember if the 2003 Wolves went 9-1 in any stretch.

Get on board boys. We have a real basketball team. They are fun to watch, well coached and no one is barking on the sidelines.


And Beasley sucked again, but it didn’t matter.

Having Beasley on the floor itself can be a big advantage even on bad shooting nights for Beasley. Opponent teams mark Beasley very tightly which opens up lanes for other players.

His other troll post got him banned from the TOR board. Sigh.

What a sad life, to take the time to make new accounts, because he’s so desperate for any attention.

I can understand if there are ppl out there obsessed in hating teams like Lakers or Warriors etc but how miserable one's life must be when he or she is so obsessed in hating the worst NBA franchise :lol: It's not like Wolves have any big rivalries either. Doesn't make any sense to me.

It’s too bad that ass up whoopin the 76ers put on the puppies

Dude. It’s just basketball. You had nothing to do with that.

Think about your own life. Try to think what’s missing that causes you to act out like this. You might be happier.

It becomes a sad routine that other teams star players are just to scared to play us. But who can blame them?!

My lord! How many damn accounts does this dude have!? He's got more accounts than the Mavericks have horseshoes up their butts to pull out wins. Stop responding to him, we will keep baning.

Had to watch the last 3 quarters late, they missed GA we lost Bev to ejection and had both KAT and Ant playing through injury instead of resting.

42-30, 11-2 since the ASB. 5-1 against +.500 opponents since the ASB. 6 straight wins at home, 4 game win streak. Control of our destiny not only against Denver but also against the Mavs for the 5 seed. GO Wolves!!!!

Can you blame them. Everyone knows a wounded Buck has no business in these parts. There be Wolves here. Not just any Wolves either. These Wolves are young, hungry, offensive minded, and bold (some might even say to the point of having serious SWAG.) You play in TC you might just get eaten by Wolves, (or at least beaten.) After all there is a reason they warn you to keep all eyes north!!!!

I never knew individuals had a pace stat. I thought that was just team. Very interesting that 4 Wolves are that high up there.

Ryan wanted pace but didn’t know what to do with it. Finch knows exactly what to do with it. When we let the tempo slow we struggle, when we push pace we find openings in every aspect of the game. Speeding people up is something some very good teams do well and it is something we are clearly getting better at.

Too bad the situation wasn't one where Finch got hired right after Thibs and maybe Ryan could be an assistant to Finch. He could have learned ALOT from Finch I think coaching under him for a few years.

Agreed. Yet Ryan grew up watching Flip and didn’t seem to help. What makes me smile is reading other teams posts and seeing them say “We could have had Chris Finch.” Or “Why didn’t we hire Chris Finch when we had the chance.” When is the last time you saw that ANYWHERE?

The 2004 Wolves would have been NBA champs if not for Cassell getting injured and having to start Derek Freaking Martin.

I thought so too that is was possible to win 42 -44. It's safe to say they have exceeded all of our expectations. 10 more games to go.

I predicted 82-0. They didn't live up to my expectations. :o
