…but he isn’t stealing your tv. At least not this time. Andy G and I won’t be missing this. (h/t Michael Rand, RandBall)

So, I just discovered Wolves Rubes, a new Timberwolves site that already has some interesting content up, like this post breaking down Pau Gasol trade rumors. Check them out over at http://wolvesrubes.blogspot.com/

This blogger says no. I decided to rank the dunkers, based on how well I expect them to do in the contest (that is, NOT on their in-game dunking ability). My list is below the fold.

Andy G: We wrote some about the awesome 2008 Draft class, yesterday. With Michael Beasley losing minutes to Wesley Johnson, and AR15 racking up DNP-CD’s the way J.J. Barea racks up wild turnovers, is it possible that these restricted free…

Q: How about this: Derrick Williams and Nikola Pekovic for Eric Gordon and Trevor Ariza? The Wolves need a shooting guard. Pek is playing out of his mind. Williams still has the reputation value of a #2 pick. Gordon is…

Yesterday we asked who should replace Kevin Love in the starting lineup during Love’s suspension. Your response: Derrick Williams. And it wasn’t even close. Williams and Michael Beasley are the most likely candidates to replace Love. Love’s suspension is an interesting…

So, the NBA has suspended Timberwolves forward Kevin Love for two games for stomping on Rockets forward Luis Scola’s face, reports Jerry Zgoda. Love will be out for tomorrow night’s tilt against Sacramento and Thursday at Memphis. This stings: all of a…

The Wolves continued their strong play against Texas this season (*ahem*, Houston–I know) with an 87-79 victory over the San Antonio at Target Center. Love had a workman-like 18 & 16, while Rubio put up 18 & 10 on 7-12…

Kevin Love just signed a 4-year deal with a PLAYER OPTION (NOT insignificant) after 3 years. The deal is reported to be in the $62-64 million range. Details here. Is it just me, or is K-Love starting to look a…

The news: Flip Saunders has been fired by the Washington Wizards, ESPN reports. The big news: RANDY WITTMAN! will be replacing Saunders as Wiz coach. Saunders clearly wasn’t able to get through to Andray Blatche, Nick Young, Jordan Crawford, and…

The Timberwolves will face Jonny Flynn and the Houston Rockets for the first time since cutting bait with the 2009 1st-round pick on draft night in June. We all remember how bad Flynn’s Wolves tenure was. This was arguably only…

Andy G and I LIVE BLOGGED last night’s game against the Jazz. Except IT’S NOT live, technically, because we’re posting our immediate reactions now–over 12-hours later. Sort of like the game itself, it is what it is. Candid reactions below. ***…

I’m a native Minnesotan turned academic nomad who has spent the last half-decade living in Chicago, the Bay Area, Boston, and now Washington DC. I only get to attend a few games at Target Center each year, usually while visiting…

Yesterday Andy G and I ended up with a LONG email thread on this year’s rookies. We decided to post an ABRIDGED version of our tongue-in-cheek assessments of the top 10 picks in last year’s draft. Because, you know, it’s…

A well-known commentator writes: “Yes, right now Love has been more effective than Kevin Garnett was here, even in his prime. Love is averaging 25.0 points and 14.6 rebounds per game during his fourth professional season. Garnett averaged 20.8 and 10.4 at…

Derrick Williams’ grade so far for the 2011/12 season could only be marked “INCOMPLETE.” Williams has had his ups and downs this season, and it isn’t clear where Adelman is going to play him. Williams is averaging 14.3 pts/36 mins and 8…
