I’ve been thinking about how some sports bloggers get invited to do local radio interviews and the like, and why I always seem to be left out of the fun. Granted, my blogs are relatively new – haven’t been around for a decade or more like some folks – but still, it’d be nice to [...]
Former Minnesota Timberwolf Kevin Garnett is showing Boston Celtics fans just how underrated he was when he was in Minnesota, leading the Beantown team to an easy win in playoff-opening action against the Atlanta Hawks. Garnett and the Celtics have the best record in the NBA and home-court advantage through the Eastern Conference finals. Their [...]
Minnesota Gophers legendary coach Tubby Smith lost out on a highly-recruited player he had targeted for the first time in his tenure as Gophers coach; Krys Faber finally settled on DePaul instead of Minnesota. It’s hard to blame Faber for his choice, since the Gophers already have recruited two true freshmen post players in this [...]
The Minnesota Timberwolves improved their chances, however slightly, in the NBA Draft after winning a tie-breaker with the Memphis Grizzlies this weekend.

The Wild applied some anti wrinkle cream this season and became a bit younger in [...]
Although the Minnesota Timberwolves have been anything but as reliable as car insurance this season, I have to give them credit for not losing out, even when it endangered their lottery position. The team won two of its final four games when it might have been easier to lose them. The final game of the [...]
Minnesota Timberwolves big man Al Jefferson, who pivots between power forward and center depending on the lineup coach Wittman sends out on the floor each night, admitted to local media sources this week that his conditioning isn’t where it needs to be for the Wolves to make the post-season and perform well in the playoffs.

Despite a strong run in March when the Minnesota Timberwolves won six of nine games, the team has been in a downward spiral of late, losing eight of the last nine, including six straight losses.
