Thanks for nothing, guys. You've made basketball watching less fun... and this is coming from a guy who's watched the Wolves religiously since 1989. You did the impossible. Congrats.


Sorry, abe, but it's even more annoying when you're at the game. The grumpiness, the bellowing, and the weirdest thing...the oddly, uncontrollably twitching right hand. I can't take my eyes off it sometimes it's so distracting. My friend was at his first game this year and after watching Thibs' bizarre twitching and bellowing, he said to me "I just figured out who he is...he's Joe Cocker!"

Oh well, as long as he keeps getting the most out of this roster like he has been doing, I can live with his sideline antics.



Flip Saunders used to have some twitch thing going on while on the sidelines, too. Didn't he have something with his neck or something?

Lol. I usually don't like sarcasm, but I like this one, LST.

Gallows humor, Lip...I'm afraid this season is bringing out my dark side...

Wiggins position needs to be the 2.
At the 3 he needs to gain 20 - 30 pounds. He is just getting pushed around too much on the defensive side.

They were talking about that on the broadcast. Leonard has 40 lbs on him. Tough on both ends of the floor when he's out of position.

I wonder how many guys Pop could have rested and still beat us.

Sleepy Wiggy couldn't get up for this one apparently. Trade him and Rubio for a ham sandwich.

Well then, the entire board is done with Wiggins. That's fine, I can be a lone wolf in backing the guy. I wont be vocal about it anymore because it serves no purpose. But I'm not going to put up with anyone jumping back over the fence when he re-establishes his game. You all think he sucks, so be it.

We really need to bump that old thread... or start a new one.

It's our only hope.

I'm still firmly on the Wiggins train. I think he's great. Love his improvements year by year although they have been incremental.

Wouldn't it be nice to have more HUGE improvements from the team's best players?

It was fun watching Garnett make the leap in year 2. To watch Love transform quickly. And it's been fun to see LaVine exceed most expectations. It's less fun and a lot more frustrating to have to pick-and-choose though an assortment of stats to find incremental improvements for so many other Wolves players through the years.
