I have always prided myself on being the biggest optimist when it comes to my Timberwolves. But for the first time in my long history of following this team, I just don’t have anything good to say.
no commentsWelcome back, ladies and gentlemen to the NBA Finals on NBC. I’m Marv Albert and joining me in the booth are Doug Collins and Isaiah Thomas. For those of you just tuning in, you couldn’t have picked a better time. It’s moments like these that give us reason to watch sports. That’s right folks, it’s Game 7 of the 1998 NBA Finals!
no commentsWith only five games remaining for the Timberwolves in the 2006-2007 season, there’s an outside chance that Minnesota fans may only have five more games to watch Kevin Garnett in a Wolves jersey. I’m not going to take the time right now to speculate or state my opinion on the subject matter. Ultimately, that decision is in the hands of Kevin McHale and The Big Ticket, himself. However, what I would like to do, just in case I really do have only five more games to root for my hero, is to recap some of my favorite KG moments. With five games left, the plan is to do a mini-countdown of these moments on each game day. Without further ado, here’s #5…

As a Timberwolves fan in 2003, I was desperate for any accolades that my team could earn. The franchise was 14 years old at that point, and its greatest acheivement was Isaiah Rider’s victory in the 1994 Slam Dunk Competition. So with a championship really out of the question, my goals for the team were twofold: 1. Get out of the first round of the playoffs. 2. Have Kevin Garnett become the All-Star Game MVP.
no commentsI got stuck with call at the hospital yesterday, so I wasn’t able to post KG moment #3. So today, I’m putting up a double-feature with moments #2 and #3.
KG Moment #3 - “I’m Losing.”

I don’t think that there’s any argument about what the greatest KG Moment is for Timberwolves fans. In the vast history of this franchise, filled with disappointments and heartbreaks, this moment shines as one of the few where the Timberwolves nation experienced pure euphoria.
no commentsFrom The Minnesota Timberwolves Den at DeROK.Net:
It seems that the history of the Minnesota Timberwolves is destined to be defined by years. It took the franchise seven years to earn its first playoff berth. It took another eight before the Wolves would win a playoff series. And now the earth has spun around the sun three times since this team last played post-season basketball.
no commentsSeeing as there’s absolutely no Timberwolves-related news to discuss, I thought I’d take the time to promote my newest site, MillionDollarFlashGame.com. The launching of this site is the culmination of an idea that has been bouncing around in my head for the past few months.
no commentsFor those of you who visit this site on a frequent basis, you’ve probably noticed a significant drop-off in the number of blog posts lately. The truth is, when I envisioned this site I figured that I would only update it when I had something valuable to say. Then two months later, I found myself making 5-6 posts a day and spending waaaaay more time on this blog then I’d ever counted on. So I’m making a concentrated effort to cut back. I figure most of you know where the Strib and Pioneer Press can be found, so you really don’t need me reposting articles and links to there on a daily basis. So from now on, I’m only planning on posting when I feel the post will truly add something.
