Did anyone catch this RealGM goof?

Timberwolves: Build Around Twin Towers. The Wolves are headed for their fifth straight losing season, but they have a pair of studs in Al Jefferson and Kevin Love. Minnesota could be a dangerous club in the not-so-distant future with the pair of forwards, rookie Jonny Flynn and another lottery selection (their pick goes to the Clippers, but they get a first-rounder from Charlotte and Utah) this coming June. Jefferson (17.6 points and 9.1 rebounds) and Love (15.6 points and 12.5 boards) are quite the pairing and the latter has 15 double-doubles in just 18 games.


I don't know if any of you can correct this guy (I e-mailed him), but it's staggering that websites (ESPN, CBS, SI, and now RealGM) who employ writers who are supposed to be basketball experts can make this mistake over and over again. Maybe it was an oversight and he just forgot the provision, but yeah.

At first glance I thought you meant the Twin Towers reference.
"A while back,'' Cardinal said, "I took a picture of the standings and texted it to Love, just to bust his chops,'' Cardinal said. "He sent me a picture back of a snowdrift.''

It's every bit as egregious.

Nobody cares about the wolves so they don't inform themselves :banghead:

I just caught this like five minutes ago. I should save every link to an article in which they got the pick protection wrong, and email them all around the same time as the draft lottery.

is it a 9/11 thing, or because Love and Jefferson are too short to be towers?

OJ Mayo is one of the best defenders in the league, hes a two way player and hes a great passer and playmaker.
