    Where are the Minny Trolls now? Not much to woof about when your team gets their asses handed to them by the lowly, rebuilding Magic.

    Rubio was a difference maker alright, but not in a good way. They would have had trouble losing without him!

    Oh joy, another child obsessed with gay porn.


    And FYI, mods, how is this not a personal insult by our friend from the north? Why put loyal posters through this bull shit? It's not like this is the only place to post

    They're all hypnotized by his small cawk. The pee hole at the tip has them mesmerized.

    Minnesota loses again. We are one game back from being ahead of them.

    Geesh. If Rubio is so good, why did the Wolves draft Flynn too? And if they wanted a PG, they could've had Curry, Teague, Holiday, Lawson, or Jennings, all of whom are starting while Rubio is backing up Ridnour and Flynn is a bust. They also could've had Collison or Maynor. It's amazing how many good PGs came out of that draft. Too bad the ones that Minny got suck.

    The only thing we need to get straight is the Timberpuppies have a history of never living up to expectations. They always fall short. That's a fact.

    But but but... We have a title and made it to the finals 3 times, WCF 5 times. And.... This is a Blazer house with Blazer fans. So you come in our house with some bullshit "We are 12-9 and we will win 50 this season"; I can fire away!

    They are a loser organization. The Minnesota Timberwolves have a franchise winning percentage of 0.399 (26th out of 30 current teams). The Blazers are at .532 (6th out of 30 teams).

    They have zero championships, zero finals appearances and have only made it past the first round once in 23 years. The have only made the playoffs 8 times and their last playoff appearance was 9 seasons ago. They have won 50 games a total of 4 times. The Blazers have a championship, three finals appearances, have made it past the first round nine times and have eleven 50 win seasons. The Blazers have made the playoffs 29 times and last made the playoffs the season before last.

    Of course they're jealous.

    Them = 23 seasons
    Us = 42 season

    That's a ratio of 42/23 = 1.83

    Doesn't effect winning percentage:
    Them = .399
    Us = .532

    Everything else should scale by a factor of 1.83. It doesn't. We've made the playoffs 29 times, they've made it 8 times. That's a ratio of 3.63. We've made it past the first round 8 times, them once. That's a ratio of 8.0.

    The only teams in the NBA with lower winning percentages than Minnesota are: Memphis, Charlotte and the Clippers. I suspect Memphis will pass them in the next year or two. The Clippers have a much longer history of ineptitude to make up for, but they could eventually as them as well. Yeah, the Timberwolves have only been an NBA team for 23 seasons, but they have NOTHING to show for those 23 years. Seriously, they have constantly had high lottery picks and waste them. They are the new Clippers.

    I'd take the Blazers first 23 years over the Twolves.

    1 title, 3 trips to the Finals,4 trips to the WCFS's, and playoffs in 15 of the 23 years.

    Hell, I'd take the Blazers WORST 23 years.

    Hey, someone who is incredibly bored should look and see what Portlands worst 23 years records equate to.
