I'm not frusterated......I'm F$#king pissed. You don't know how hard it is to watch other teams run the most basic, high-school level defense on the Wolves and come up with a turnover. I don't believe that I've ever seen a team like the Wolves look so inept. I mean in the KG era. They don't seem to know what defense their in (Man or Zone). The oppositions point would get a pick, and we don't switch or even show. Teams know that the Wolves are getting high on something during time-outs and know they can't figure out what to do....so they continue to do the same thing and expect different results. I didn't even catch most of the game, but I saw that when it was crunch time...the Wolves did just that. I don't understand how you can gain an identity and not be able to do it. What I mean is that we're known as a jump-shooting team....then hit an open shot you f&%king a#$hole. I'm sick of this s$#t. If they just showed highlights of the games and not their entirety, I don't know if I'd care at this time. OH, just in case you thought I was excluding anyone on the team for this tirade, the only one that I would exclude because he's doing the best that he can with what he does and is known for, it Mark Madsen. Besides him, EVERYONE needs a taser and to be locked in a room for a number of hours.
What a worse day to be a Minnesota basketball fan. First, the Gophers came up very lame against Iowa St as they did not show up. Then, the Timberwolves did not show up against Memphis. Memphis outran the Wolves good. Wolves players just could not keep up with Memphis players. It was all KG and KG was all alone in a island tonight. KG is doing his best to carry the Timberwolves right now, but his supporting cast has gotta help him and that was not the case tonight. Timberwolves really need to win Sunday or this season could be over basically. I had to admit I did not came away angry or unhappy. I am so numb about how this season went that it does not bother me anymore.
Settle down, this has been happening all year, I dont understand whta people are geting so angry about. This is a bad, incompetent team, like the Atlanta Hawks. just face it. Yeah, they went to the Finals last year, but forget it, it's over, its been over. Thats basically the message you need to get: The Minnesota Timberwolves suck The other message is: This season is <u>over</u> Keep being optimisic, but your just gonna be dissappointed or angry after every game. I've known that this was over for a long time now, this team isn't going to make the play-offs. If they were to somehow stumble into 8th, which the odds of that are way more slim than some of you want to realize. Denver is better than you might think, and L.A. just has 10 times more hear than we do. I'd have to say that the Clippers have a better chance tha we do. And as I said, if we made the playoffs we wouldn't wina single game. We cant beat the 7th place team, let alone the #1 team, so forget about that.
See, you guys gotta understand. The anger I felt last night reminded me of the 41 - 0 ass-kickin' we received from the N.Y. Giants in our last NFC Championship Game. We knew our secondary was bad but they had me thinking "how can you even make it to the N.F.L. when your THAT BAD?". Remember, I didn't come in until the half mark of the fourth when we were down be 3 or 4, but what I saw at that point pretty much personified what I believe the game looked like. And in a tribute to Bender from Futurama, Mchale asked the team for defensive stops. They replied "What stops?", He said Defensive stops, they replied "Defensive What?". McHale shook his head and said once more "Defensive Stops" and they said "What What?" like the idea was so unfathomable that they couldn't understand the language he was speaking. I bet they wish they would have went for B. Diddy now.
Sabretooth I feel your pain, but as a Laker fan. Seems like KG & Kobe are on the same 1-man island and the teammates come and go from game to game. Neither team understands the fundamentals of defense, and it does make you wonder how they made it this far at the pro-level. Both teams are a far cry from the dominance they exhibited last season. Both teams could have really used B. Diddy to be a lock for that 8th spot. The worst part of the season is when the team plays to their potential and you get amped up that they've finally turned the corner, and the next night they lose by 20+ to the Hawks or Knicks.
Yeah I felt extremely sorry for KG when I saw that interview on All star where he cried... This guy like other stars wants to win...I just wonder why the Wolves team is struggling tho. Sure Sam I has been in and out of rotation but KG is like always putting up amazing stats everynight but he doesn't get help from his teammates like he did last year. Where is Spree???
you guys should understand this, once a player start having problem with Gm and blah like spree and sam had earlier in the season. they won't perform their best. spree asked for more money to feed his family, he didnt get wut he want. im not sure but sam i think wanted a contract extention, he also didn't get it. This was really the start of timberwolfs problems and lack of effort from both sam and spree. Just like what carter did to da raptors. I thought da wolfs coulda traded both and get players who're willing to play for them.
shapecity: If Caron and Lamar was on the Wolves, you can bet KG would have found a way to make them better and utalize those guys. Kobe has not done that this year and I hear rumors that Lamar and Kobe don't care for each other. Speaking of B Diddy, what a job he has done for the Warriors since being traded there. He is playing at a high level. Warriors have to hope he is healthy and that his back does not give him problems. KG-MVP: I wasn't angry after the game Friday night, but everytime our favorite team lose, it's no fun. Of all teams that I love in sports, the Timberwolves are the team that I love the most hence why it's painful. I can understand why Sabertooth is frustrated. I don't mind if the Wolves miss the playoffs, but I would love to see them at least win games and play hard. Is that too hard to ask? You would think as a professional player, they would play hard night in and night out, but I haven't see that all year and last night with everything on the line, there is a lack of urgency. WadeDynasty: Spree stinks period. His legs has hindered his ability to be the player he was for the Warriors and Knicks. VC: Contract issues was a problem, but I think Sam and Latrell has aged real quickly. I think they have tried hard, but they are just not good.
