KG looks like a Twolves fan

It is hard to watch some times...

Good article by Marc Stein, who, despite working for ESPN, does a pretty good job.

Just a photo to enjoy

Gratuitous Zeke Bashing

Trying in vain to make myself feel better about McHale. Question - when Zeke gets fired is McHale the worst GM in the league? Actually, a better question is: would there be a GM left that has done more career damage to a franchise than McHale? It used to be you could count on Elgin Baylor to be the career leader in bad moves, but since he's actually delivered a complete and utter fleecing of McH, there's no way you could rank him lower. With both Babcocks out of the league, I'm not sure who comes close (you Blazer fans want to weigh in on Nash?)

Anyway, here's the link: The ballad of Isaiah Thomas

No more tights





Swiped from David C's moonball message board posting, it looks like the Black Mamba will have to look for another way to express his fashion sense:

No more tights

Between this & the ridiculous NFL ban on creative end-zone celebrations (yeah, no point in giving your fans too much entertainment) it's been a good week to have a stick up your ass.

The Pryz lays down the smack


The only thing I can attribute this kind of intensity to is the work ethic he learned as part of the Me-Wolves, before being traded to the WB (in one of those - here's why I never make trades kind of moves):

Pryz says there are slugs in the Rose Garden

Speaking of which, it sounds like maybe Paul Allen may not get to hold the P-Town hostage w/respect to the Blazers. Which is certainly a good thing.

Let's talk about a real team


Flip's eased up on the gas over the past month, but the Pistons will continue to rise over the competition, as Tayshaun does over KG here.

yet another T-Wolves-centric post


Hey, if you guys don't get busy with some posts, it will be all T-Wolves, all the time.

Nice to see Troy Hudson is having fun spending Glen Taylor's money.

One good thing from McHale being a complete tool - every dollar that he's wasted on mediocre point guards is one less dollar Glen T has to give to the Republican party.

T-Hud, Eddie & the Cube

Yep, we've got one:

It seems to work in bloglines, I assume it will work in other readers as well.

Ricky D for you and Me(-Wolves)

Here's a photo of Ricky D from last night. The Strib lists it as a "dish" from Ricky D. He did have 10 assists, but I think this one was a turnover.

Look at Darko, he's just surprised to be playing. I was impressed with his jumper, and he got up high with a nice block too.

Thanks Jason, for setting up the Blog!

Cavs make the playoffs

Okay, most of you know I began my NBA fandom as a Cavs fan. When they traded Ron Harper for Danny "fucking" Ferry, I jumped ship (for some reason, it took me a few years to get a good hate going for Duke). I landed on the Knicks just in time for Riley ball, and then when I moved back to Minnesota I kind of took up for the Wolves in a "Dave Anthony was in DC so he developed a fondness for the Wiz" kind of way, which as we all know morphed into a painful, painful obsession. All of which is a long way of saying I'm happy for the Cavs, in the way that finding out an ex-girlfriend is happily married or something. It should be fun seeing what LeBron does in the playoffs...:

Cavs make it

Welcome to the moonball blog

So this could be cool. I haven't figured out yet what I have to do to set everyone up with posting rights. Official First Link of the Blog: check out this true hoop post regarding which hoops guys give scratch to the political process. As if any of needed another reason to hate the Mailman...
