Tim, Everyone has their demons

I know what happened was horrible, but bad things happen all the time, and throughout American History. I feel like for 46 years, he has taken boys, and made them men. Please don’t make any jokes about this. I’m sure he’s had a huge impact on thousands of peoples lives: fans, players, coaches, workers etc. Its a sad day to see Joe Paterno pass away. When people think of Penn State, a for sure thing a person will think of is Joe Paterno. He put them on the map. This reminds me of a good quote from Batman the Dark Knight…..“You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” I feel like this is fitting. RIP Joe.

I doubt he’s a 1/11 shooter, regardless. H’es probably not quite as good as his first sets of games showed, but I guess we’ll see by the end of the year.

Movie Night

I missed the first half due to watching a movie with my wife. How is it looking?

Good game thus far

CH bonus points to you for watching a movie with the wife. (is there a sign for no sarcasm because I am serious here)

bad coaching by adelman

Love should be sitting… his crap shooting has cost us this game cause as good as Love can be he is selfish and takes too many jumpers… when ya shot is not falling you have to change ya game style and be LESS Selfish.

I'm a Timberwolves fan, therefore I must be a masochist.
