The Basketball Jones - 2/8/12 (Wolves gushing)
I listen to The Basketball Jones pretty much every morning, and I would highly suggest all of you doing so as well. They've been hot on the Wolves' bandwagon all year, including unanimously (so, both guys) calling them the most entertaining team in the league this year.
Highlights from this episode (Wolves section starts at 16:30):
Rubio gushing, duh. They talk about the Larry Bird quotes.
Pekovic gushing. Yep! They go with the Neeee-kolaaa! (Ricola) chant, I dig that.
Lastly, they chat about Derrick Williams, whom J.E. Skeets calls D-Rock. This is notable because I believe that I introduced him to that nickname (not that it's necessarily the best, or even that I made it up, just that I heard that live and said "I gave him that!").
Cheers.

Good name for D-Rock...
He needs his own, and D-Thrill is a little too girlish for my taste. D-Rock has a great ring to it.
Then we’d have a team of The Rick, The Rock, The Pek, The Lock (Love), The Luke… any others?
I said a hip, hop,
the hippie, the hippie to the hip hip hop you don’t stop the rockin.
Sorry. The rhythm of your list of names forced that into my head.
I'm going to brag. I drive the Nikola Pekovic fanwagon.

Hows about...
“The Brick” for Wes? Too harsh?
Excellent
Maybe we should bring in Gilbert (The Glock) to round it out.
I only ever want the Wolves to draft 5th.
@BrettAhlgren
Love those guys, too.
(Don’t listen everyday though….Afraid to start…waste too much time on basketball as it is).
Skeets also tweeted “Treebeard” as a Pek nickname after some dude said he runs like a tree from LOTR.
Yahhh
Almost forgot about the treebeard line!
(yes, you will get addicted – I work at the computer, so just listening isn’t too difficult or unproductive for me)

@BrettAhlgren
Pek = Evil Kevin Love....HA
I’d also except “Kevin Hate” for Pek.
Pronlunced "Fate."
It is your fate to be Peksecuted by Evil Kevin Love!

I haven't looked at NBA Standings in probably 8-10 years. Not one time.
Except for the lottery.
1. * Oklahoma City —
2. * LA Clippers 3.5
3. * San Antonio 3.5
4. Denver 5.0
5. LA Lakers 6.0
6. Portland 6.0
7. Houston 6.0
8. Dallas 6.0
9. Utah 6.5
10. Minnesota 7.0
Strange thing too...
When you look at 13-12….14-11 doesn’t seem so far away.
No, not magic, just the power of illusion!
