i'm sincerely excited to see him play
It’s crazy, and I’ll almost certainly end up disappointed. But GO DARKO!
Any idea as to..
whether League Pass broadband will show our broadcast? It’d be a bummer if they went with OKC’s.
It had better
we’re the second estate.

Is this also an actual HD signal?
I now know, after autoscanning my TV, that channel 45 has a high-def signal at least for some shows. It’s at 45.1 over the air, or on Comcast boxes it’s 439 in Minneapolis or 238 in St. Paul. (For my no-cable-box thifty special it’s at channel 7.2. Whatever.)
But is it an HD picture? Channel 45’s always had an analog signal and a digital one for me. Is this third one actual high def??

Nope. Clean signal, nothin' new. Ah well.
"It has come to the editor’s attention that the Herald-Leader neglected to cover the civil rights movement. We regret the omission."
I'm trying to post some questions

Scandalous questions? Come on
You’re telling me that my “Is Nate Jawai paying for his food bills by male stripping on the side?” question is scandalous? The people deserve to know!
About half of mine made it.
Asked about the D-league, whether the Wolves will add any stat-crunching analysis to their scouting approach, broadcast HD signals….

You never know he could get injured early in the game.
by Bad News Wolves on Feb 21, 2010 6:17 PM CST up reply actions
He's got 7 points in 6 minutes
So unless he goes out before halftime, he’s got 25 wrapped up.
Glen wants to answer "Who has impressed you most?" questions.
PR emptiness.
"It has come to the editor’s attention that the Herald-Leader neglected to cover the civil rights movement. We regret the omission."
I just asked why I didn't bet more than $50 on the Thunder to cover.
Bet it gets answered?

Someone should ask Glen
if he likes Korean dishes.
On it. Asked under another name.
I think they already blackballed me for asking questions with more than one clause to the sentence.

Who just shot the airball from the left baseline? Gomes?
"It has come to the editor’s attention that the Herald-Leader neglected to cover the civil rights movement. We regret the omission."
He's worth like a billion dollars
I think somebody else is typing for him
I was going to ask him
how much he is worth after the market took a crap on him.
Then I was going to ask him if he would let a college kid invest his money for him.
If what's his name and who? ate up the Wolves recently
What will Durant do to them?

This is where Corey Brewer is meant to be our defensive guy
He matched up well with Durant last time, though I didn’t see it.
"It has come to the editor’s attention that the Herald-Leader neglected to cover the civil rights movement. We regret the omission."
Flynn just turned it over...
and could’ve cut off Green going the other way, but pouted instead. I think he’ll be on the bench for quite a while..
If Jonah doesn't start letting some of my questions through
I’m gonna start asking if Glen preferred Mike Trudell over Jonah Ballow…
Love for three.
When the defense leaves you that alone, you have to take that.
"It has come to the editor’s attention that the Herald-Leader neglected to cover the civil rights movement. We regret the omission."
Love has tons of bulk on Green
Lowered his shoulder there and bulled in for the foul.
"It has come to the editor’s attention that the Herald-Leader neglected to cover the civil rights movement. We regret the omission."
Dude is a legit "big"
"It has come to the editor’s attention that the Herald-Leader neglected to cover the civil rights movement. We regret the omission."
I just changed my name to Jonah Ballow
and sent in: I don’t know how to moderate a discussion that gets significant questions answered.
Change it to Mike Trudell
"It has come to the editor’s attention that the Herald-Leader neglected to cover the civil rights movement. We regret the omission."
Guys, you can't really think...
….Glen Taylor is going to answer hardcore salary cap questions or things like that. I mean, if you guys are asking him the kind of questions you ask here, he’d have to write a 5,000 word essay to answer it, and you’d probably just try to argue it with him anyway
Sample question:
The owners have presented a number of aggressive CBA stances, but have not mentioned the D-league as far as I know. Will the owners want to pursue any more movement toward a true minor-league system?
Yeah, that’s SO hard to answer. He’d better answer this one instead:
Mr Taylor, I’ve been really impressed with Mr Kahns willingness to work hard at building this team. What else has impressed you about Mr Kahn?
"It has come to the editor’s attention that the Herald-Leader neglected to cover the civil rights movement. We regret the omission."
It's kinda like a politician at a town hall
They’re not gonna answer any of the wonky questions that actually matter. It’s just gonna be canned questions like “I love what you’re doing around here! How can I help you accomplish your goals to continue to show my love for America!” or “Why do our competitors hate America so much, and how can I help you?”
"Why do the Oklahoma City Thunder hate America so much?"
"It has come to the editor’s attention that the Herald-Leader neglected to cover the civil rights movement. We regret the omission."

My questions started out as easy
and have gone to about as basic as I can make them without sounding like a kindergartener.
Perhaps the team does not expect informed fans,
but while I’m willing to be reasonably succinct, I’m not going to act like a moron in order to participate in someone’s bland-as-possible PR.
This is the internet. They need to expect reasonably intelligent fans.
"It has come to the editor’s attention that the Herald-Leader neglected to cover the civil rights movement. We regret the omission."
My latest question
The quality of the Wolves’ weekly coverage on Timberwolves.com has dropped signifcantly since Mike Trudell left. Is there any way this will come back in the near future?
Mine's Ryan Hollins sucks,
haven’t gotten through yet though.
by Bad News Wolves on Feb 21, 2010 6:31 PM CST up reply actions
Don't worry
My next question is soon to be:
Do you regret letting Mike Trudell go now that you have seen what Jonah Ballow has brought to the team? Was it really worth the salary savings?
Ha!
He answered it.
"It has come to the editor’s attention that the Herald-Leader neglected to cover the civil rights movement. We regret the omission."
Now he is sending questions through
that have been asked multiple times already…
OKC
has a great defense. They are really long and rangy on the perimeter with Thabo, Westbrook, and Durant. Kind of a model for the Wolves if we keep Love and Jefferson together. Surround them with really long, rangy players on the perimeter. We’ve got Brewer and that’s it.
by Rascal Flatts on Feb 21, 2010 6:30 PM CST up reply actions
Not on the boards he can't
Green’s rebounding rate is not so good. As a power forward it’s a problem.
"It has come to the editor’s attention that the Herald-Leader neglected to cover the civil rights movement. We regret the omission."
I actually saw Howard make a 12 foot face up jumper today
I was stunned. The guy’s offense has like, tripled in the last two months
Ah, on defense?
I don’t see it. I think it’s the other three guys that really make their defense tick. He can stay with quicker 4’s I guess, but I agree with Feral that he does more harm than good as a 4.
by Rascal Flatts on Feb 21, 2010 6:36 PM CST up reply actions
82games says....
By position, he’s a very effective defender at the three (opp. PER 11.3) and pretty bad (oppsing PER 20.4) at the four.
The comparison to Ryan Gomes is there, in rough outline.
"It has come to the editor’s attention that the Herald-Leader neglected to cover the civil rights movement. We regret the omission."
Thunder are the penultimate "team" team
The whole is far more than the sum of the parts. Because individually, Durant is the only guy that blows you away when you look at the stats. But as a team, they’re 3rd in rebounding, 5th in opponents’ ppg, and are currently the fth seed in the playoffs, ahead of the Spurs, Suns and Blazers.
So I mean, if you want to get on one of their guys for not being a good whatever, then fine. But it’s very clear what they do is working, and the players they have fit together correctly to make it work.
Penultimate?
They’re the second-to-last “team” team?

has already exceeded my expectations for his first game!

He has already knocked Hollins to the bench. He kind of seemed to give Love some extra confidence too.
I thought Love and Darko
looked good together. Looking for each other on offense, keeping the ball moving. On defense, switching off, staying aware. I like.
Darko can pass, seems like a pretty skilled guy

Darko's extremely skilled
Prototypical Euroball product. It’s always been his confidence that’s been the problem
I finally got a question posted
It just has to be a really simple question that you don’t care about the answer to…
Darko
Out of shape, yes. But, he is basketball smart. Got in the right spot on O to open passing lanes. Made some good passes, too. He may be a better passing big man than Al — I know, sample size = 4 minutes. Who knows? At least he’s not Stojko!
Stoyko: the NBA player who smoked in the locker room.
"It has come to the editor’s attention that the Herald-Leader neglected to cover the civil rights movement. We regret the omission."
Maybe Kahn's been reading CN.
Big center or wing? Both.
And he isn't afraid to say the truth.
I like how he’s talking about Flynn’s weaknesses instead of pretending like he’s the next Tiny.

So much good rotation
on that defensive stop. Everyone on the court contributed to that play
On that block by Al? Yeah, that was a nice play.
"It has come to the editor’s attention that the Herald-Leader neglected to cover the civil rights movement. We regret the omission."
Yeah
the block was the icing, there was some great cover on earlier penetrations, and jump outs on the resultant kickouts, and then Jefferson with the final cover of Love’s man when Love stopped the penetration.
I had the same thought.
Like, team ball. Was it Damien closing out on the shooter in the left corner?
"It has come to the editor’s attention that the Herald-Leader neglected to cover the civil rights movement. We regret the omission."
Ha!
They gave Hollins a rebound on the play where Ramon knocked it out of Westbrook’s (?) hands under the hoop. Ryan just picked it up an dunked, but gets the OReb. Advanced stats can only say so much when the raw stats are so messed up.

Maybe. I still look at all he cost us for what we got out of him, and I can’t pick anyone other than Marko.

There are plenty of guys who started games who are worse than Pavlovic or Jaric. Grant is probably high on that list though.

That is seriously emasculating a team. Had it been a big market team, I only imagine a fine or one first rounder. He’s such a [fill in blank]
"Never make predictions, especially about the future." Casey Stengel
On a team run by someone like Morey...
…I would agree with you, but it was run by a guy who used late-round picks on guys like Paul Grant and Ebi. Those picks could have helped but I highly doubt they would have.

Someone wiser than me put it well here some time ago
discussing McHale’s scouting prowess: “even a blind squirrel will find an acorn.”
"Never make predictions, especially about the future." Casey Stengel
Fine but...
…the most wildly optimistic view of Ebi was in 3-4 years he would become a poor-man’s KG. Fine, if that’s what he felt (nobody else did) – except we had the actual KG. And we were contending for a title. Not sure Ebi would have been drafted at all.
'It's just noise coming out of an ugly scientist.' Michael Scott

then they finally get a pick and take Ebi, the Japanese word for “shrimp.”
"Never make predictions, especially about the future." Casey Stengel
It's close
But I just absolutely cannot freaking believe we traded Sam Cassell for Jaric AND WE GAVE THEM A PICK.
You can't believe that?
You know who Kevin McHale is, yes?
And it was incredible even for him
That’s my least favorite move of his. All the drafts, at least in his defense, none of those guys had played a game yet.
Don't forget...
…that he gave one to Boston for Marcus Banks too. That turned back into Jonny Flynn with the KG trade.

That’s how it’s listed on basketball-reference but they wouldn’t have given the pick up until after they gave one to the clips.
by pagingstanleyroberts on Feb 21, 2010 8:48 PM CST up reply actions
And
The protections on it were set up for it to turn into a 2nd rounder if not relinquished within a set number of years. Given our prolonged losing, it wouldn’t have been a 1st rounder. (Not that this absolves McHale, unless he was planning on building a lottery team for 7 straight years.)
I'm really enjoying this
I don’t think it’s unrealistic that they do this often. Hopefully they consider it.
We were told..
….that this is something of a test case to see how it goes. If it works and there is a lot of fan interest, they will probably do it again sometime. We need to let them know what did and what did not work.

Having a beast who can actually play next to Love allows him to do be much more free. I think it will help him much more than it would help Al.
Shouldn't Al be that beast?
"It has come to the editor’s attention that the Herald-Leader neglected to cover the civil rights movement. We regret the omission."
Yes. but
for some reason he isn’t working. Maybe because Al scores like a beast but on D he is far from it. Also if he is with a big guy like Darko, Love feels like he gets to do more on offense compared to being with Al he is always number 2.

wouldnt it have been great if turner entered the draft last year
and we got him at 6
I was just thinking about that
Odds are that he would’ve gone to OKC though, so we would’ve had a shot at Harden and Rubio.
it's terrible

Our PG play
Flynn/Sessions are young, but I am not seeing much lately from either. Flynn scores cause he shoots a lot. But, no distribution and bad D for both. Do either have 10+ assists in a game this year? I’d rather see that than Jonny for 30 (or Sessions for 41 like he had last year).
Session had a 20-assist game early on with the Bucks, didn't he?
The scheme seems to be resulting in assists spread around, is the thing.

Stop swiping when you go up to challenge shots! You make yourself about a foot shorter by doing this! Go straight up dude!
Yup
And this isn’t a hard thing to correct. I can’t believe that the staff hasn’t worked with him on simply going up straight to challenge shots. Swatting requires impeccable timing. He’d deflect so many more shots by just going straight up.

Notice they don't call traveling
much anymore. That long stick on OKC took 4 steps before he shot that 25 footer.

Youtube "Maggette" and "traveling" sometime.
There’s a clip where he switches pivot feet like six times.

Too bad our best corner shooter is Love...
If we had somebody else that could take that shot, Love could hang around the
basket.

Who was Love pointing to?
When Jefferson was facing the bucket, and doubled, Love was pointing out to the top of the key (off camera), but Jefferson just decided to force it. I don’t know if there was some other option. It does seem that very few players ever cut to the basket when Jefferson has it on the block. Whether that’s because it’s futile, Jefferson doesn’t want it, or just laziness, I don’t know.

…we should have about $12M in cap space. Good luck Ryan, nice having you around.
