Great article about our Timberwolves!

if they could only hold leads, i think they keep Ridnauer cause he is a vet leader just doesnt always play like one IF and thats a big IF Rubio comes next year there gonna be a good team

[ozzie]

I thought Ridnauer was decent but the last few games the guy has been making the same mistakes as the younger players and on this team we need a veteran leader not a veteran that doesn't know how to finish a game......

I had the same take Ozzie. I think he's a decent vet, but some of the mistakes he's been making lately...yuck.

I'd like to see them add one more big piece.

It looks as though the price tag may have just went down a little

Quote:

According to multiple reports from league insiders, O.J. Mayo and Tony Allen brawled on Sunday's team flight over a card debt that Allen wanted to settle, leaving Mayo with a "swollen face" and possibly led to his absence for "bronchitis" on Tuesday.

It's unclear if the team reported the incident, as they are required to under NBA rules, and the immediate impact could be a suspension for both as the league looks to distance itself from the Gilbert Arenas situation last year. Otherwise, the fact that Allen still started Tuesday's game speaks volume about Mayo's standing with the team and his role in this incident, unless of course Lionel Hollins didn't know about it -- which is unlikely. Chances are Allen wanted to collect his debt while Mayo was still a Grizzly.

haha. What a bunch of morons. I don't think we can pawn Brewer for OJ...they have Allen which is basically Corey Brewer, a good defender and marginal offensive player. I think we have to deal Bassy and or Flynn and picks. 2nd rounders are okay, but it's looking like it'll be harder to pull off.

i wonder if the wolves know its not golf and the lowest score doesnt win, they keep blowing leads and losing the few games i watch each year same thing everytime

[Scott K]

I think this team is very close to being a good team. Whether it is another player to add to the bunch, and get rid of a few. Or if they just need a little more time to grow into each owns role, but they are close. Almost all of their losses are within 8 points.

[ozzie]

If they only could play good solid d in the 4th we would have another 5-9 wins......maybe the Girlies would take Elington/Brewer and a 2nd round pick for Mayo.....I don't really like Mayo as he has to shoot 20 times to get into a game but I think he would fit into this team and give them another young talent that can score!

[mrklean]

great foul by flynn at the end of the game there when DJ Augustine was shooting that 3 But i agree i think they need one more player to make this team good. is it me or does mike beasley look stoned all the time?

[ozzie]

if he is stoned playing like that I have no problem with it but yeah he does look dazed out there!!

[Scott K]

A nice needed win last night by the Wolves. It is nice to see Love step up with Beasly out of the line up. If we only had one more go to guy, I think this team would be a contender!

[mrklean]

if ricky comes over next year like they are hoping im excited for next year, i got a kick out of the star trib yesterday talking about some of the draft choices, instead of flynn we could have had Stephen Curry imagine that as our starting line up
