Giving Thanks for the Timberwolves
What I’m thankful for as a Timberwolves fan:
1. Two Words: Craig. Smith.
2. Randy Foye
3. Great fellow fans - CW and Dice: You’re amazing!
no commentsKevin Garnett: There Goes My Hero
Take your pictures down and shake it out,
Truth or consequence, say it aloud,
Use that evidence, race it around
There goes my hero,
Watch him as he goes,
There goes my hero,
He’s ordinary.
- My Hero, by Foo Fighters
no commentsThe Kevin Garnett Trade Revisited
The general consensus about the Kevin Garnett trade I proposed yesterday was that the Bulls were giving up way too much and that they wouldn’t part ways with Kirk Hinrich. In my near tunnel vision for the T-Wolves, I hadnt’ realized that Hinrich had become such a valuable commodity. So here’s the trade, changed up a bit.
no commentsMarko Jaric Loses Shirt, Timberwolves Lose Game
Before I talk about tonight’s dismal performance by the Timberwolves, I’d like to say thank you to Marko “The Gigolo” Jaric for making me laugh. On a night where the Wolves embarrassed themselves with a 14-point loss (It was even more mismatched than the score suggests) to the Denver Thuggets, Jaric was the lone player who gave me something to smile about. His backwards jersey antics and that halfcourt shot he made at the end of the first quarter were the only two things keeping me from skinning myself and taking a bath in lemon juice. It’s safe to say that Marko is now officially my favorite Eastern European. (My apologies to Dolph Lundgren.)
no commentsMy Worst Nightmare - Kevin Garnett to the Lakers
First off, I’d like to mention that I don’t cook up these trade scenarios because I feel bad for Kevin Garnett. I honestly think no title would ever mean as much to his legacy as playing his entire career in Minnesota. I also don’t look at these things because I want to see him gone. It would be like a stab to the heart if I ever turned on my computer and saw that headline across ESPN.com’s front page.
no commentsMike James: "We Really Are A Good Team"
Note: This article appears on The Minnesota Timberwolves Den at DeROK.Net (And it was written before the Wolves beat the Rockets. Yup, positivity goes a long way…)
After the Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the 76ers to pull their lackluster record to 7-9, the Wolves broadcast team conducted an interview with point guard Mike James. It was your typical post-game chat; nothing really special. But amongst the usual cliche’s an congratulations, was a comment by Mike James that really stuck with me.
no commentsTrading Kevin Garnett for 25 Cents on the Dollar
While surfing the net, I stumbled upon an article on SI.com by Chris Mannix touting several trades that the Timberwolves could make to “Free KG”. It was easily the second-worst sports reporting I’ve seen in months. (The honor of “worst” goes, without question, to Scoop Jackson’s blatant plagiarizing of YAYsports’ “Orange Roundie”.)
no commentsTWolvesBlog.com Highlighted by ESPN.com
When I started TWolvesBlog.com, I intended it to be an extension of my Timberwolves coverage on DeROK.Net. I didn’t want or have the time to write a full-blown article every day, so using the blog format for quick thoughts and daily links and keeping DeROK.Net as the source for my major articles seemed like the perfect fit. I expected to cater to a small audience of Timberwolves fans and hopefully grow the site into a popular destination for Wolves fans
no commentsAllen Iverson may not be "The Answer" for the Timberwolves
Just when the Timberwolves start to gel and look like a team with some promise, along comes the possibility of acquiring Allen Iverson. Although many fans are excited about the possibility of acquiring a perrenial all-star to pair with Kevin Garnett, I can’t help but wonder if any good can come of these new trade rumors.
no commentsTWolvesBlog.com's First Post
This is the TWolvesBlog.com’s first post. Pretty impressive, huh? Basically, the purpose of this site is to expand on DeROK.Net’s Timberwolves coverage by taking things up a notch. You can expect a lot more content than the 10 articles or so I would normally produce in a year. I’m also looking to get multiple people in on the action as contributors, so if you’re interested, let me know. I’ll be working on the first “Article” for the site and should have it up shortly. Until then, keep the site in mind and check back everynow and then for updated T-Wolves coverage! - DeROK
