    I guess this goes to show that Minnesota values Disney on Ice and hockey over basketball.

    How about, "If you had to suffer through almost 30 years of Timberwolves basketball, wouldn't you?"

    In looking at the schedules, I'm guessing the game will be played Sunday April 2nd or Monday April 3rd.

    I'm wondering why it hasn't been announced yet.... There are no conflicts at the Target Center for those dates that I can see.

    I just discovered this thread. Am I the only one who saw the game? Didn't any of you notice they changed the decision 30 minutes later? It was a great 4th quarter. Well you don't deserve to hear about it.

    I think it is because the NCAA national championship game is on the 3rd. Usually the NBA doesn't schedule games to compete with that. Not sure why they haven't come out and confirmed that it will be on the 2nd.

    Seems silly that it's not on the 2nd.

    Wow, I guess I stand corrected. Must have been some NBA logistical issue then. Who knows.

    Minny is on a good run as of late. Might be a good time to skip them

    Couple of hours earlier though, so it will be a little less of a conflict.

    I bet the Blazers preferred it on this day. A back to back flying from Portland to Minneapolis is a bit much. This way the 2nd game of the back to back is in SLC, which realistically we will lose regardless. Those 2 games against the Wolves in 3 days might be very important to the Blazers, so it makes sense that they get a fair shot at winning in Minny, since the screw up was on their end.

    If I'm not mistaken, when we had to fly all the way back to NYC to play the Nets for the snow cancelled game a couple seasons ago, it was also the night of the NCAA championship game.
