I know a 14 win team can't have a 'must win'
but the guys cannot get blown out tonight. They really have to have a chance to win in the 4th. Schedule gets brutal, we need to compete tonight.

had him being ill. He was/is in the locker room getting treatment
And Love still out
Hoping for extended Stewie-Jawai minutes.

Dick Bavetta ref'ing tonight...
Donaghy says it will be a close game…
"I'm gonna make you cry...I'm gonna make you cry and dip my cookie in your tears!!!"
Al Jefferson's defense. Sigh.
A disjointed Kings possession in which they fumble it, almost lose it, have it bounce outside, the Wolves cover…. And inside Al is ripe for the picking. Two points.
Rrr.

Your therapist would call this "binary thinking"
"It has come to the editor’s attention that the Herald-Leader neglected to cover the civil rights movement. We regret the omission."
Define "binary thinking"
So I can decide if I’ve been complimented or insulted…
"I'm gonna make you cry...I'm gonna make you cry and dip my cookie in your tears!!!"
Trait of depressive individuals.
Basically you could call it “black and white.” If everything isn’t perfect right now, it’ll never be anything but an absolute failure.
We’re all pretty beaten down and depressive at this point in the year. Rambis will never figure out that Love deserves more minutes. Jonny will never distribute well, can’t finish and never will…. All that.
"It has come to the editor’s attention that the Herald-Leader neglected to cover the civil rights movement. We regret the omission."
OK...
I would think saying “Jonny Flynn sucks and will never get better” would be a more relevant example of this. I was merely pointing out one facet of his game. But getting to learn the term “binary thinking” was cool.
"I'm gonna make you cry...I'm gonna make you cry and dip my cookie in your tears!!!"
does that qualify
as a coaching moment? may be the first one the wolves have seen all season.

'It's just noise coming out of an ugly scientist.' Michael Scott
I know. Same state of mind.
"It has come to the editor’s attention that the Herald-Leader neglected to cover the civil rights movement. We regret the omission."
32 points to Sacramento in the first quarter?
They haven’t been scoring 100 a night. In fact over the last ten, they’d been putting up a bit less scoring than the Wolves.
This defense will not result in wins against the Kings or anyone else.
"It has come to the editor’s attention that the Herald-Leader neglected to cover the civil rights movement. We regret the omission."
The NBA would prefer if you use quotation marks...
When you call this “defense.”
"I'm gonna make you cry...I'm gonna make you cry and dip my cookie in your tears!!!"
It's a "slippery slope" from there
to the point at which I employ “sarcasm quotes” around every “observation” about my home “team.”
"It has come to the editor’s attention that the Herald-Leader neglected to cover the civil rights movement. We regret the omission."
I think this an "excellent" point...
"I'm gonna make you cry...I'm gonna make you cry and dip my cookie in your tears!!!"
Gettig killed on the offensive glass...
Does anyone beside Love understand how to block out?
"I'm gonna make you cry...I'm gonna make you cry and dip my cookie in your tears!!!"
Landry, who's been getting big minutes,
is actually a poor rebounding PF. It’s a shame we didn’t get to see Love matched up on him.
But then, when Landry was with Houston, Rambis didn’t even get Love off the bench when the Rockets went with Landry into overtime.
"It has come to the editor’s attention that the Herald-Leader neglected to cover the civil rights movement. We regret the omission."

Wow, gee, do they ever not know what they're talking about.
Certain announcers are a good measure of what yutzy fans who don’t do their homework must think.
"It has come to the editor’s attention that the Herald-Leader neglected to cover the civil rights movement. We regret the omission."
I wish I could remember who said this on Friday...
So I could attribute proper credit. But someone needs to tell Rambis we don’t need to tank anymore. I am getting seriouslt worried that he just doesn’t get it.
"I'm gonna make you cry...I'm gonna make you cry and dip my cookie in your tears!!!"
Confirmation that these announcers are terrible
Wolves drafter 47 pgs and Rubio sucks in Europe. Thanks for proving a complete disconnect with reality.
'It's just noise coming out of an ugly scientist.' Michael Scott
Sometimes it seems like Rubio might as well be playing in...
Antarctica, good grief the guy is in Europe, why is it so hard to get some consistent scouting reports on the guy! We hear weekly about how well Turner and Wall are playing, but a guy playing in Spain might as well be on the friggin moon!
I can't watch this.
Al’s defense is so awful right now. The last possession, where Ramon saw the switch coming and leapt back for it, only to have Big Al a step behind the entire process…. It’s unwatchable.
Pavlovic seeing the floor is no help.

Pathetic
I have season tickets for basketball and football. I’m reasonably content with the hoops program, however, when I see what is being allowed to happen to the hockey team, I realize I might as well quit buying football tix today, because if hockey is allowed to fall apart in this state Maturi can’t hold Brewster accountable.
BTW, quit giving me the crap about Lucia losing guys early, he can get anybody he wants from Minnesota. Find good players who want to commit for three or four seasons. Oh, on another rant, NHL teams don’t want to pull guys from college and start paying them any sooner than they have to, they only do it when they get nervous a guy isn’t being developed.
Lucia is living off his laurels, won titles with teams consisting largely of Woog players. Unfortunately, Woog was too stubborn to bring in the one guy a year from outside MN that could put him over the top, or the titles would have been his.
Why not? No one is facing him.

Charlotte
they beat Orlando…which I could care less about, except their playoff appearance = our mid round draft pick.
The pick is almost officially the Wolves
traded the 18 (Lawson) for about the 16 this season, not sure that worked out all that well, but probably worth the effort for a higher pick.
Oh, are you kidding?
Even without the CBA rumblings, the draft this year was already deeper than last. Any on-the-fence collegians who fret about a lockout are likely going to declare this time, too.
If that pick’s at 16, it’s worth well more than 18 last time. That’s setting aside whether the team’s able to effectively use the picks it has — but in terms of straight value, that was a good example of…. What did Kahn call it, “monetizing” the pick? That.
"It has come to the editor’s attention that the Herald-Leader neglected to cover the civil rights movement. We regret the omission."
And consider that we theoretically don't need Lawson
with Rubio coming over, and the depth of long big men in this draft, I’d call that a pretty solid trade.
Holy smokes
Tyreke has 24? Weren’t we sold on Jonny shutting done Tyreke in workouts? Wasn’t Jonny going to be a lockdown elite defender? What happened to all that? Jonny couldn’t lockdown Tyreke with Jeff Gillooly’s bat.
'It's just noise coming out of an ugly scientist.' Michael Scott
I have to admit...reluctantly
that was hoping Sac would have drafted Rubio and we would have ended up with Tyreke and Flynn.
OOOOOOOps. I didn’t think Curry would make such rapid progress.
How long is Jonny signed for...
…we could use a little more cap space. Who were the scouts that bought into
these guys on this team?
"It's not too far; it just seems like it is."
by WillistonCoyote on Mar 14, 2010 9:23 PM CDT up reply actions
Everything I read
seemed to indicate Kahn wanted Tyreke over Flynn. The fact Kahn and the FO had difficulty hiding this fact probably led to Sacto grabbing Tyreke.
Kings fan here
I’m pretty sure the Kings could have cared less who Minnesota was going to draft, and they simply took the best player.

Larry Brown would have jetted out of here already. Phil Jackson couldn't

coach who has this grab bag on non talent. I’ll reserve judgment on that one. Coach
opted in to a damaged franchise.

"I'm gonna make you cry...I'm gonna make you cry and dip my cookie in your tears!!!"
yeah, but I hope it doesn't continue this way.
I never seen a guy deliberately dribble into trouble the way Jonny does. He’s been trapped
so many times, and his drive to the hoop is always smothered, not to even mention the TOs.

i would have to agree
what bothers me is he gets to start no matter how much he *(&%s up. i know the pg position is the hardest to learn, and there is no veteran pg presence on the t-pups. collison is kicking a$$, but he has Paul in his ear every second he’s not playing…which i’m sure helps. i’m afraid he will end up as another ben gordon type player…which is not worth the 6th pick (or 10 million/year!!!!)
I think they will regret
not using Sessions more and forcing Flynn to earn his minutes. Still can’t get too mad over not taking Curry since he sent bad vibes, but in hindsight they really should have traded Flynn for a future #1 (say this year) and grabbed Lawson with the later pick.
It's worse than that to me...
He is the Ryan Hollins of PG’s. He just doesn’t get anything about being a PG. Doesn’t know how to run a break, run a PnR, or set up a teammate for a bucket.
On D…well…I kind of want to vomit. Can’t stay in front of anyone, and still hasn’t fought over a single screen all year. I’M SERIOUS! I challenge anyone on Canis to find ONE example of Jonny Flynn going over a screen.
Oh, but he has “athleticism” and “upside” apparently…
"I'm gonna make you cry...I'm gonna make you cry and dip my cookie in your tears!!!"
I would say he's more like
the Randy Foye of point guards. He looks just as confused running the point, if not moreso and is 5 inches shorter and not as good of a shooter. It’s pretty sad.
Fucking Late 1st Round pick for him right now, hate that fucking kid, hate this fucking team, first to happen, Kahn dying of a heart attack because of all the Draft regrets or him getting fired, so glad he’s only on a two year contract, can’t wait till next year when they become completely irrelevant and they have to be sold or moved, both seem better at this point, how can we expect success from any of these players, even if we were to get rid of everybody this offseason how long would it take then, I just don’t see keeping anybody from this season’s roster, just fucking terrible, Rambis, how the fuck do you sleep at night when you put a team out there like that? Just so fucking sad, almost praying for a J Wiliams to happen to Flynn right now, just don’t even want to see him play again.

What if we could frame the draft like this
The Wolves traded Randy Foye for Johnny Flynn (OK?). Then they traded the 6th pick and Mike Miller for Ricky Rubio (YEAH!!!). If you look at it this way, I think the draft was still a positive.
Al Jeff turns his back on Tyreke so...what the heck, Tyreke drives to the hoop.
Al made it possible. If he faced the guy he wouldn’t have come in.

'It's just noise coming out of an ugly scientist.' Michael Scott
The old mass substitution ploy
which last worked in 5th grade.
Wonder at what point Rambis realizes that he has lost the team for this year (maybe longer?)
i'm worried about the "maybe longer" part
his rotations are so far beyond garbage that you really have to wonder if he’s doing some long term damage with the guys who will stick around.

can you blame him?
I hope he starts Sessions/Ellington/Wilkins/Love/Darko
next time they are all healthy…. as for next game whoever of them is healthy and Sasha, Pech, or Jawai.
i wonder if rambis wishes he would have accepted the sactown offer...
….and I wonder if the maloofs are thanking their lucky stars he declined.

I don't think Rambis lost the players - coming back next season
mainly because I think only about six guys will be back (Serious). If they bring in three draft picks, trade a couple players and bring in a couple free agents they will only bring back about six players if they shorten the roster to the minimum 13.
But, if the same thing happens next season, he will definitely start losing guys. Assuming players stay healthy, they won’t be able to blame ACL’s and wrist injuries going into next season, they are going to need to show progress. Assuming they get a good draft pick, they are also not going to be playing for a top 3 pick next season, which should give them an incentive to “shoot” for 30 wins next season.
I'm losing it...
I followed the Wolves for years… but I’m tired of watching this years Wolves… constantly getting crushed by teams that are bottom feeders in the league… at least be competitive. I like the face that we had 4 assists on 49 points… how awful can you be?
I remember about 15 years ago
I was finally starting to realize how silly it was to keep rooting for a losing team and hoping for lottery luck. Then they got lucky and grabbed KG, hopefully this summer is similar.
Anyone still think
Jefferson is this team’s best player?
I don’t think there is one word that can describe how ugly this is. Maybe a name? A picture? Yes. A picture. This is how ugly the Wolves have played in this game:
Sorry sir, that you must be compared to this team…
Westphal just called a timeout
to tell his team to take it easy on us so we don’t get our feelings hurt.
PS...
Pavlovic getting burn is a joke. I’d rather they suit up a random fan for a game.
Just saying the money could have been spent this summer
for a better player, rather than wasted last summer on a lousy player, especially when everyone knew this was about a 25 win team.
We just played the equivalent of
a 36-10 quarter. We were down 48-54 with 3+ left in the first half. Twelve minutes later? 90-58. Are you effing kidding me?
'It's just noise coming out of an ugly scientist.' Michael Scott
Fortuitously, I stopped watching right with 3 minutes left in the half
I won’t bother asking how we went 10-36. I have a feeling I’ve seen it before. The question is why did I bother checking back in?
Somehow
we managed to score 13 points in 15.5 minutes. And gave up 40. We’re down 33 to the Kings. We are going to lose 20 games in a row and suffer through a winless March. If we can’t even compete with the Kings – the Kings for crying out loud – we have no hope.
'It's just noise coming out of an ugly scientist.' Michael Scott
And the worst thing...
Is that I’m OK losing 20 in a row, if it’s a TALENT thing, but it’s not. We have no coherent offensive or defensive identity. If I’m a rookie coach of a bad team, my only focus is imprinting an identity on the team…then getting better players.
Rambis has not put one single stamp of an identity on this team at all…
"I'm gonna make you cry...I'm gonna make you cry and dip my cookie in your tears!!!"
to be fair to rambis..
….this team may have only about 3 keepers on it. we’d bitch about it 10 years from now a’la musselman eeking out victories with crap in the first few seasons if it costs them draft picks.

Good point
Those Rambis teams produced a few coaches, but not many impact players. In a decade, half this team will not be remembered, similar to the 1989-1994 Wolves.
One last Angry comment...
Instead of a Korean cooking game wrap… how about just post a picture of a steaming dog turd?
I was just about to suggest that.
This team doesn’t deserve a tasty Korean dish.
I bet on a day he feels good
and well rested, Laimbeer would destroy Hollins. Next day is spent in the whirlpool!
THE STREAK?
I feel like once it ends the bottom will fall out of Brewer’s confidence. Sick feeling about that.
In a way, I'm glad this is happening...

Sadly, this will never happen, and I’m embarassed to say that I thought Rambis would be a good coach. Even if we’re tanking (which I believe we are), he is handling it poorly.

I think we can write off the tanking thing once and for all
you don’t lose by 30 points just to tank. And you don’t tank that much with the lottery killing us so much. And if we were tanking, I’d think we could at least try to win for a couple games until we were even relatively close to catching GS… I’d like to think we are better than we are too, but the sad truth is that we are just that bad.
I take this back
somehow Jonny is back in. We’re tanking.
sounds like a good lineup, but still smallish.
He doesn’t have any guys that are defenders, except maybe Darko.

No offense...
But calling that lineup “smallish” couldn’t be any less relevant, considering every other lineup is horseshit.

Brewer is the only one undersized
and even then it’s only cuz he is skinny.
Do you think Evans
was close to a triple double? I wonder if the Sacramento announcers think he already earned it…
i think we shouldn't count that one..
…just to end the streak in a game that doesn’t matter.

I say we give it to him
just because he is out there still caring. How many other guys can you say that about? Sessions and Ellington?
Hey...
did one of the announcers just asy something intelligent?! They were talking about needing the triple double to earn ROY for ‘Reke and one pointed out that if people don’t know anything more than the boxscore they shouldn’t be voting. Thank you sir for rivaling your partner’s idiotic point with sense.
That would have been Jerry Reynolds (Smart, goofy old guy)
smacking sense into Grant Napear (Scarlett-haired Douchebag)
Grandmaster of the "Never let AnotherStupidSN forget what a Sham-Wow is" Order and Originator of the "Brock Ness Monster".
God, i hate Napear..
I watch alot of Kings games, because my brother is a Sacramento fan… goddam is he one of the most (possibly the most) annoying announcer in the NBA. Jerry Reynolds on the other hand, i like.

I endured the whole game.

Have to copy and paste the link for anyone trying
but I like how Minnesota Timberwolves are the only team amongst those mentioned that got tagged as relevant to the article…
