Which defines this season?

By feral on Apr 11 2011, 4:45p 27

Which moment, most of all? The ones that occur to me, in moving pictures and less-than-moving words, followed by your vote:

Every one of these poll options is a legitimate choice for me. If Jonny Flynn hadn't undergone his surgery last summer, maybe his confidence wouldn't be a tattered flag in a stiff breeze at this point; "developing young talent" would be a lot less laughable even if he'd had his rookie year all over again. The early losses to Miami and Orlando were a free fall right out of the gate. (For that matter we turned on each other all summer over Wes and Cousins, and then lost in a late-game swoon to Sacramento in a game where neither of them really did that much.)

My vote, though, goes to the three-point explosions. They touch on Rambis and his coaching traits and the talent, together. What else has been as consistent as the Wolves' struggles to play perimeter defense?

Love's productivity, though, is not far behind. For much of the season, that's who we were to the NBA at large. And It Was Good.

What did I miss?

Poll

Which one says it best?

2% We waited since the KG deal, and got *this* draft day for our years of pain? (2 votes)
9% Our best player was on the bench? "That’s your opinion." (8 votes)
2% @MEM, @MIA, @ORL. (2 votes)
19% 31/31, and 53. (Imagine that happening for another bottom-feeder team. We'd be deeply envious.) (16 votes)
13% When (Madlib: Proper Noun) lit us up from three-point range. (11 votes)
1% Darko’s 14.3% start from the field. ("‘He still looks to me like he’s not secure with himself,’ Rambis said." Seriously. It’s in the article I’m looking at right now.) (1 vote)
11% Ridnour travels... and gets blocked, for good measure. (9 votes)
2% "Grocery shopping, or the chef?" becomes a major subtext. (2 votes)
1% Corey Brewer becomes a starter... for his steadying veteran hand. (1 vote)
2% That stretch where the Wolves led the league in pace and played out of control. (2 votes)
1% Jonny Flynn practically *sprinting* to the bench to check back out. (Credit PJD.) Year two: Voodoo victim. (1 vote)
0% Wes Johnson turning 28 the day he attempted his 20th career free throw. (0 votes)
3% Anthony "Singularity" Randolph, point center. Why the heck not? (3 votes)
11% Andrew Bynum, pulling NFL guard, and our coach’s color commentary thereon. (9 votes)
11% Asleep for the free throw. (9 votes)
6% Hunched over, looking for the fist bump. (5 votes)
