The Golden State Warriors continue to press on, despite their issues both on the team and upstairs in the front office; in Tuesday’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, things were going according to plan, except for one detail - they almost let the game slip away from them in the fourth quarter. As it were, [...]

F*** yeah!! Saturday nights karaoke at Blarney’s was killer!
Overall, the start was pretty good, the crowd was diggin’ it, etc. Then, later on in the evening, Mitchell’s very own Mike Miller (and his friends) made a surprise appearance. Him and his crew sang some karaoke, and really ripped things up all night long.
We’d like to [...]
Esta linha abriu nos 216,0 e como a mim me parecia obvio já desceu para os 214,5 e julgo que ainda desce um bocado mais.
Ambas as equipas jogaram ontem e por isso devem apresentar algum cansaço que torne o jogo mais lento, apesar de recentemente se terem defrontado e o jogo ter tido 214 [...]
Este jogo penso que será idêntico que o último jogo dos Jazz, com Wizards, onde fiz uma pick no over, e seguirá pelo mesmo caminho hoje, uma vez que a linha se mantém lá perto.
Os Jazz mantêm-se a sua boa forma em casa, chave principal para o seu lugar na classificação, e vão agora 7 [...]
Here is an incredibly accurate and poignant editorial on exactly what is going wrong with our favorite pro basketball team. It’s written by a college student in Boston, of all sources. Thanks for the insight, Ross!

Houston recebe hoje uma equipa de Minnesota a jogar para cumprir calendário.
Este jogo não deverá ter muita história, Houston deve conseguir a vitória, mas o spread não é muito apelativo. No entanto a linha dos pontos cifra-se nos 193.5 o que me parece exagerado para o tipo de jogo que espero.
Houston gosta deste tipo de [...]
48 points. Wasted. I could well imagine that’s what Sacramento Kings guard Kevin Martin was thinking; other than Martin, it appeared that the Kings played some lackadaisical basketball as the Minnesota Timberwolves snapped a 5-game losing streak with a 111-103 win Friday night at Arco Arena.
Despite Martin’s offensive explosion, the Kings couldn’t get closer than [...]
First of all Happy Thanksgiving. I hope that everybody caught the Cavs vs. Timberwolves match up yesterday. LeBron James basketball was on point as usual as he scored an amazing 45 points. The unbelievable thing about recent LeBron James basketball is that he has scored over forty points twice in the past three games. The final score was 97-86 Cavs. Apart from scoring almost half of the team points last night LeBron James basketball had five assists and eight rebounds. Every game no matter what the outcome you can see that LeBron James basketball is improving. Natural talent can only take someone so far, now you can see that his improvement is due to more time in the league. Even off the bench LeBron James would hit clutch shots from every part of the

BOSTON, United States (AFP) - Kevin Garnett was traded from the Minnesota Timberwolves to the Boston Celtics on Monday, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported, citing an undisclosed source.
The deal brings together all-starosed forward Garnett with long-time Celtics playmaker Paul Pierce and veteran guard Ray Allen to make Boston a force to contend with in the National Basketball Association after years of struggles.
None of the three have ever been able to claim an NBA championship despite years of success on the court. And with all in their 30s, the chances to pull off a title run might hinge upon all of them coming together as a team.

NEW YORK – Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kevin Garnett is close to going to the Phoenix Suns in a monumental three-way trade that would send Phoenix forward Amare Stoudemire to the Atlanta Hawks, league sources said Wednesday.Atlanta would move the Nos. 3 and 11 picks in Thursday's draft, as well as Zaza Pachulia and Anthony Johnson, to Minnesota.Minnesota owner Glen Taylor has delivered a mandate to his basketball executives to get a deal done, one league executive said.Yahoo! Sports has learned that the trade would also save the Hawks from an emerging showdown between the front office and coaching staff over whom to draft with the third pick. The front office and coaching staff had settled on Florida power forward Al Horford, but a faction of the Atlanta Spirit ownership group, with business interests in China, is pushing them to take Yi Jianlian. The deal hinges on Atlanta general manager Billy Knight saying yes, as well as Hawks ownership, which is mired in lawsuits, being will
The Timberwolves, recognizing that there needed to be some non-player moves this off-season, have fired...their dance team coaches. WTF?! McHale can squander away draft pick, draft horrible players, and generally make a mess of my favorite NBA franchise and he has complete job security, and this is the move they make?! I am sure the dance team performances were why people weren't buying tickets this past season.
In a game that was far less entertaining than the Extreme Team, the Timberwolves easily handled the Golden State Warriors tonight at the Target Center. The T-Wolves were led (as usual) by the Ticket. He secured his 17th career triple-double (17/15/10) early in the third quarter. After a high scoring first quarter the Wolves led 32 -27. It wasn’t until the second quarter when the Wolves caught fire (and played a little D). They outscored the Warriors 31-18 while securing a 18 point lead going into the break. Mid way through the third, I’ll be honest…. I switched over to a rousing episode of “Beauty and the Geek”. After watching some of the hottest women in the world and guys who show up for dates with a t-shirt sporting π, I decided to flip back to the game.A few interesting game notes:• In the first half, Minnesota had 21 assists on 24 field goals. • Once agai
Photo by: Tom OlmscheidTIMBERWOLVES FALL SHORT TO PISTONS IN DOUBLE OT!The Minnesota Timberwolves fell short to the Detroit Pistons in a crazy game that ended 104-98 in double overtime. In the fourth quarter, if you haven't already heard, KG and Antonio McDyess got into a little rumble and were ejected. KG suprised me with that action. I know he was trying to protect Mark Madsen but he is a superstar and has to set a good example for young fans. Don't be surprised if you hear Adidas (his shoe maker) angry with Garnett about the matter. The game was right down to the wire and turned out to end well even without KG in the game.Late in the first OT Mike James was trapped in a tough angle but managed to nail a three to take a three point advantage. Watching the replay, I thought it was questionable if he went out of bounds or not but they counted it. Now the Pistons had the ball and advanced the ball with a twenty second timeout. Mr. Big ,Chauncey Billups, got a pick to go to the top of
