Pig Miller came here from the Globetrotters. He's way underrated, and we picked him up mid-season floating adrift in Free Agency. When most East teams have no Centers, the Wolves are pretty set there. And Hoiberg, while streaky, can destroy you when he's streaking. |

The Spurs haven't done anything spectacular in the playoffs since 1999. It's amazing that you would even fix your hands to type such stupidity. How can you talk about SA's playoff failures when the Wolves' entire playoff history is based on failure? Two of those seasons they didn't win, they did lose to the eventual champion and the other Tim Duncan was injured and they lost to Phoenix in the first round. At least they lost in the first round without Duncan. Memphis will be good in about three or four years, no sooner. I see Houston going to Round 2 before I see Memphis there. I can even see Houston beating the Wolves, just like they did last Friday. The Spurs only replaced David Robinson and added some bench players. They still have the same core. The Wolves have changed their core considerably. Well, KG was their core before this season. The Spurs added Nesterovic, Turkoglu, and Charlie Ward and none of these guys have proven that they can win a championship? You say that like these guys were former franchise players. Besides, individual players don't win titles, teams do. You talk about theories that stink. With this logic, let's say the Spurs add a player like Jermaine O'Neal. Surely this guy has never won a championship, so.....No, I really don't see your point. Among the players added by the Wolves, only Cassell and Madsen have won titles and only Cassell was an actual contributor, as was stated in a previous post. I don't understand how you tried to construe my words as if I said you need experience to win in the playoffs, yet you are saying that certain players the Spurs added haven't won a championship. That entire third paragraph was a pointless ramble. Didn't the Spurs add Robert Horry,a 5-time champion, also? That doesn't matter because you think he sucks anyway, don't you? I guess Tim Duncan won't have anything to do with the Spurs trying to repeat. Tony Parker, more than anyone discussed in this topic has yet to prove himself in the playoffs? Oh my God. I just can't believe you would say something like that. You don't believe that yourself. Well, KG is being discussed more than any other great player in the entire NBA abbout having yet to prove himself in the playoffs. You prove yourself by winning. I just can't undesrtand why you would say these asinine things. Yeah, the Wolves are a team I've never seen before. So what? The Lakers are a team I've never seen before either. You make it sound like it's a warning or something. Last edited by The Dub; 03-11-2004 at 01:45 PM. |

Kandi is back for good now, but he is pretty much worthless at offense. The reason he is out there is because of his presence on defense, judging by his five blocks the other night, I think thats working out just fine.
Just wait until the playoffs, because unless you have seen the Timberwolves play a lot, you have no idea what is Trenton Hassell. He can't score worth, well you Dave, but he holds opposing shooters to such low percentages. Against Sacramento, Peja was shooting like 29% with two air balls on the night. Paul Pierce was like 10 for 23 or something the other night. Hassell can guard any of the best SG and SF's out there, whether its Kobe, AI, Pierce, Peja, put Hassell out there and he will slow them down all night. |

I wasn't saying that all those guys were great players either, compare the Lakers third string center to Ollie Miller, or Fred Hoiberg. The only team that I would say is deeper is Memphis, because everyone on Minnesotas bench can play.

You detroit fans make me laugh so much. I love how one win against the Indiana Pacer all of a sudden means you own us and your crowned east champs. Piston fans are always quick to whip out the stats of this one game because this is the ONLY GAME THEY WON IN THE SEASON SERIES! Then when you tell these dumbasses that they are quick to point out that they didnt have Bluntman Wallace on there team. Well since Piston fan wants to point that out then please allow me to point out that Indiana was playing without there starting PG Jamal Tinsley . Jamal Tinsley is one of the main reasons this team is so good. He can puch the ball up the court. Split defenses, penatrate to the basket and create shots for others. And he is hitting 39% from 3 point line.. which is decent enough to keep defenses honest. A.J Johnson was brought in for defense and to hit key shots. Kenny Anderson cant knock down a shot or break someone off the dribble. He was brought in for INsurance. Tinsley is the key to this teams success. But dont tell Piston fan that..No NO NO... they Have Bluntman and Afro Wallace on there frontline. While Indiana is in the NBA Finals you'll be making my mother ****ing car bitches! We guunna burn that shit hole you call the Palace down . |

Sorry guys. Lakers have the title wrapped up, especially after destroying the two best teams in the West. They play like this and it'll be 2001 again: Lakers will not lose another game (okay, so they lost to the Phillies in game 1, but that was an obvious fluke).

The Timberwolves are damn lucky right now. We have lost so many games in the past few weeks that San Antonio could be like 5 games ahead of us, but somehow we are still winning the division. I don't think there will be much movement in the rest of the regular season.

I didn't want to say anything, but from what I watched the Refs were calling a bunch of shit on the Timberwolves and not the Lakers. Not trying to make excuses, the Wolves played like shit and would have lost regardless.

How is Webber a crybaby? He's putting up 18ppg 9reb and 5 asts a game. He coulda bolted after all the success he had there but he chose to stay and now the fans boo him?? I got news for you Kings fans out there. Brad Miller disapeared for us in the playoffs last year. You will need Webber. Dont burn that bridge idiots.

He is a crybaby because he says he wants to be traded and he's gonna leave because the fans dont respect him. And you know since he's a liar and all and since the Kings havent been very good since he came back Im pretty sure the fans have a good reason to boo.

If he's playing well but the team isn't gelling, it's part of the ****ing game, you know? The Wolves can't buy a win since their whole roster got healthy. Too much depth. They've won TWO STRAIGHT against scrubs, so maybe it's time they turned it around, but you understand too many cooks in the kitchen spoils the soup.
They shouldn't boo C-Webb if the ENTIRE TEAM can't win. They know they can win without him, but they'll be much better if they can win with him. |

The Kings, Spurs, and Timberwolves have all been struggling as of late, but they got themselves in good enough position so that it's not affecting their playoff seedings. If one of those teams can get their games together by then, things could be snazzy. Otherwise, unfortunately I think the Lakers are the hottest team as of right now.

Imagine if the Kings keep losing and end up facing the Lakers in the 1st or 2nd round? That would rule. Kings may be slumping, but vs the Lakers YOU KNOW IT WILL BE ON.
