crazy how good we are...


Don't get youself carried away here. A good win, but we're not playoff material. Two of our starters shouldn't even exist in the NBA, no depth at SG or C, and we're too young. It would be a miracle if we made the playoffs even as the 8th seed to me. You could make an arguement if we played in the Eastern Conference, but the West just has too many good teams in the way.

Calm down a bit.The Wolves due have talent and Kahn as a GM isn't as bad as the national media makes him out to be,he's kind of a mixed bag but had done more good then bad at running the team.Our squad is probably still a year away from making the playoff and we still need a starting SG and SF to be a true title contending team.But on the good side Love is a superstar and dire I say nearing or just at #10 in terms of the best players in the league.Rubio looks to be and all-star PG more then likely next season and we have found our starting center it looks like in Pek.We also have a really good bench with Ridnour,Williams,Barea,Beasley and Darko.

But again were still a SG and SF away from being a real threat.bty most of the cred need to be going to one man and one man only and thats Rick Adleman.Dude is a serious STUD coach and one of the best of all time.

Torcher... i agree... and disagree :P

Yeah, we have only 3 legit playoff team starters and 2 guys who would be better on 2nd unit, but the team is growing, i keep my 37 wins prediction (witch will settle for 6-8th seed) and even if we are young...

Rubio has been playing playoff basketball since he was 16, and an average of 3 finals last 3 years, he learned the pressure in the hardest way in Barcelona, and that will be huge, if we finally archieve the playoff spot, i expect him to become our veteran presence :P

.500 feels good tho... having a good streak now would build the teams confidence a lot.

you must be an international fan based on your poor grammer...but it's cool...i love the fact that this team has so many international fans. you are completely wrong in thinking that kahn is not one of the best gms of all time. the guy is simply genious. pek is stepping up as a badass mofo, and i'm loving it. the wolves are so damn good right now...it's nuts...we will be in the playoffs this year...book it.

1) Great ... .500

2) Love step was intentional because although scola raised his hands it did not affect leg movement that much that he had to put all his weight on scolas face and shoulder( while 2nd foot was on the ground) to get forward moving momentum. 2ndly he saw he was scraping scolas face and in that situation you are not going to put all your weight on scola to spring yourself forward unintentionally.

3) Would that gentlemen who uses that " send from my tapatalk" line in his posts, put it in his signature or even better delete it, because reading it 20 times a night + all his quoters is not the most fun thing to do. Although foe list is an option also.

I'm not even talking about Pek and Luke. Wes Johnson needs a total makeover if he wants to keep playing in the NBA and Darko is showing over the year that he's all potential, no production (except those very few nights where he's decent).

I think it's because he uses his cell phone to post. I never noticed it before this season but now I see it quite frequently across the forums. I'm sure the phone companies do that for free advertising.

The app adds that signature (or the one you choose) but you can even untick it.

1.) Nice win ... great to break past that .500 barrier ... check!
2.) Pek certainly gives us a more reliable presence ... check!
3.) Martin was a non-factor ... :lol: ... check!
4.) Great win at HOME! ... check!

Love and Scola seem to be the only two who concede the incicdent was blown out of proportion and the blown call on the foul pior to the STOMP was most frustrating ... With that we should start a thread called the "Whiners Club" for all the drame queens crying about the "STOMPING" incident. :guitar:

Yea, that is pretty insulting, and he has done it twice so far. I really hope he is some undercover twolf hating troll acting obnoxious to make real wolves fans look bad.

Misspelling grammar in that situation is always hilarious though.

Is there an "ignore button"?

So you can ignore international fans like me with poor grammar and I can ignore national fans with poor spelling abilities. The word is called "grammar" not "grammer".
