This might seem lame at first, but just keep watching... It's awesome.

A tribute to the best and most ferocious dunks that KG's ever throw down as a Minnesota Timberwolf.

After last night's great showdown with the always entertaining OKC Thunder, the T-Wolves next home game could be another epic clash. We (already!) play the Miami cHeat, in what is shaping up to be a pretty brutal opening schedule in this compressed season.  Luckily we'll have a few days off after tonight's game, before having to take on LeBon, Wade, Bosh and company. Unfortunately for the Wolves, they are a completely different team with a healthy Haslem. Too bad Mike Miller won't be playing huge minutes, because as we all know, he sucks.

TWolves Blog's ticket partner TiqIQ has a special deal for fellow T-Wolves fans: Using the ScoreBig "make an offer" feature, fans can pick their price to see Kevin Love battle under the boards. A "2 star" ticket that usually sells for $145 (after shipping and handling fees) can be had for around $99 a ticket. But this deal expires on Wednesday, so y'all need to move fast to get this special deal. To make an offer today PLEASE CLICK HERE.

Santa Kahn. Kahnukkah. Kahnza. Las Kahnadas. Saint Kahn's Day. 

The Holidays are here in full force. Kahn is back and is oddly quiet as can be. Rubio is in town being escorted around in his mother's Tahoe. Kevin Love is looking like a bonafide, athletic NBA player. Beasley lowered his ears. Barea is running around wreaking havoc. Anthony Randolph is confused. Pekovic may have murdered someone. Adelman is grumpy. Darko is sensitive.

The Wolves and their plethora of humorous idiosyncrasies are back in town. And before we dive into this, let's all relish together in a merry thought we can all agree on: it feels great. 

So where does this team go from here? What is next? After a satisfying pre-season containing a fast-paced blowout followed a few days later by 46 minutes of disaster and 2 minutes of never-could-have-imagined-level Wolves basketball vs. Milwaukee, the only real answer is: I have no idea. This team is tough to predict. 

On a topline level, the Wolves have re-tooled nicely this offseason. Ousting one of the worst NBA coaches in the history of the league (who shall remain nameless) and replacing him with one of the best in legendary Rick Adelman, is a dramatic change previously unheard of throughout Timberwolves history. The team also added three promising rookies and free agent JJ Barea, former x-factor of the 2011 NBA Champion Dallas Mavericks. But where do we go from here?  Well, there is a lot of be excited about, and some not. We'll touch on both. More after the jump.

The Wolves lost an embarassing game to the Thunder at Target Center Sunday afternoon. Neil tries to make sense of this mess.

It's 2003-04 all over again for KG and Sam I Am

This article appears on www.DeROK.Net/wolves

At the risk of sounding like a total hypocrite after writing my piece about contract buyouts, I am extremely happy to see Sam Cassell once again paired with Kevin Garnett.  I certainly don't like the way Sam I Am weaseled his way out of L.A. and over to Boston, but I won't let those circumstances stop me from enjoying what's to come. The biggest regret of my life as a sports fan is that I never got to see the 2003-04 Timberwolves win the NBA Championship.  Ask any Minnesota fan and they'll gladly tell you how amazing that season's squad was.  They were simultaneously the biggest underdogs and yet the most formidable opponent. They loved playing together, they came up big in the biggest of moments, and they collectively took the most downtrodden fanbase in the league and lifted them to unimaginable heights.  In my entire life, I have never loved a team like I loved that team or enjoyed as season like I enjoyed that season. 

And it was all thanks to Sam Cassell.

WARNING:  Hilarious!!!!

Renaldo Lapuz sings a originally composition called "You Are my Brother" that he wrote for Simon Cowell on the hit show American Idol.  This was clearly the highlight from the first two nights of the new season of American Idol. 

The intro stuff is slow at first, and you may want to skip to the song (starting at 2:45), but don't miss it!!!

 

Setting:  March Madness 2007, Round 2.  Ohio State -vs- Xavier.

After a missed free throw which would have iced the game for the underdog Musketeers, Ohio State's Ron Lewis capitalized. Gus Johnson and Dan Bonner with the end of regulation call.

Before the fan got a chance to take his half court shot, they let one of the dancers take one. Who would've thought she'd made a perfect swish backwards?
