Milwaukee Reindeer Ruin the Timberwolves' Christmas

Written by Derek Hanson on .

What can I say, this team has been extremely frustrating to watch so far. At times they look fantastic, and on nights like tonight, they make you want to pull your hair out. You don’t think that Glen Taylor has a lot of stock in Rogaine do you… no comments

Lakers outscore Timberwolves 34-7 in the Fourth Quarter

Written by Derek Hanson on .

All I have to say is that if Dwane Casey is still the head coach when I wake up in the morning…

I don’t even know what I’ll do, but it won’t be good.  I know it was the players playing and not the coach, but where were the timely timeouts? Where were the offensive sets?  Where was any semblance of a game plan or an attempt to stop the bleeding before things got out of hand?

34-7 is on the coach.

Milwaukee Bucks New Holiday Logo

Written by Derek Hanson on .

After waking up this morning, I realized that I had totally killed my opportunity to properly mock the Bucks new color scheme last night. In my haste to wrap things up quickly, I photoshopped a red nose on the existing mascot.  In retrospect, what I should’ve done is take the extra five minutes to put together this logo.  Much funnier.

Timberwolves Countdown #10 - "Leaking Gasoline"

Written by Derek Hanson on .

As we count down to Christmas, I thought it would be a fun idea to highlight some of my favorite Timberwolves Den articles from past sesaons.  The plan is to release a countdown my Top 10 pieces, with my #1 favorite posted on the 25th.  Yeah, it’s a little cheesy, but I thought it would be a good way to introduce some of the newer visitors to some of the big moments of the past.
