    Arbitration ruling to determine who owns the Timberwolves and Lynx coming Friday or Monday

    I guess Finch doesn't watch the games either. In the last 10 games, when Finch has been forced to play 6'10" 270lbs Dillingham, he's averaged 7.6 points/game. He's shot slightly under 40% from the floor and 20% from 3. In spite of being the biggest player on the floor, he doesn't pass the eye...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT MUSSELMAN (USC) IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    This team is fully capable of losing to anybody. Having written that, eight wins is now very doable, even predictable. If Ben gets to eight and wins one in the tournament he probably gets another year, especially with the reasonably strong HS class coming in.

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT MUSSELMAN (USC) IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Nope. He has a strong track record. (Even though I saw him completely blow up a pick up game at whatever Lifetime was called back then underneath Target Center when his dad was the wolves coach. He went crazy out of control over a stupid phantom foul. If you'd seen it, you wouldn't forget it...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT MUSSELMAN (USC) IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Fun win against a better team. Not sure why anybody would take the USC job. It's always been a depressing atmosphere.

    You posted a video from the corner somewhere around row 25 of Rob standing next to Ant claiming a height that he really isn't. Rudy was there too. From that distance and angle they all looked pretty close. You must think Rudy's 6'6". Keep trying.

    Sorry. I've been talking about Dillingham's defense since November while you've been claiming he's as big as Ant. (You can do the work of finding the posts.) Move on, Paul Douglas.

    Google beats Chat GPT and DeepSeek! :) 54-96 is slightly worse than 49-85, but both are better than CBJ.

    Arbitration ruling to determine who owns the Timberwolves and Lynx coming Friday or Monday

    If Finch thought Dillingham was big enough to play in the NBA he would have played him before he had to. It’s not like Conley was playing well. Now that Dillingham is getting a chance to play, he’s not establishing himself. He makes the occasional flashy play on offense but mostly he’s barely...

    Arbitration ruling to determine who owns the Timberwolves and Lynx coming Friday or Monday

    He's worth billions of dollars. Not sure that's really true. He bought the team for about $90M and the amount of his own money in the deal was minuscule. He did fine. I hate to say it but I think this one might have been age related.

    Arbitration ruling to determine who owns the Timberwolves and Lynx coming Friday or Monday

    ARod barely escaped on this one. He was trying to mark the deal up on his potential investors and they weren't having it. He was saved by the language in the contract because it appears that they didn't actually have the funds to close by the strike date in the contract. Bloomberg is the...

    Fire Ben Johnson

    He's not a great coach and it doesn't matter about his next job. He's not playing against B1G competition. In this job he has more money to spend than his competitors. In the next job if he has a financial advantage, he'll look good. When he was here running the weave....those were the old rules.

    That was a fun season. I think Pitino was here eight years. His B1G record was 49-85.

    Fire Ben Johnson

    FTR, I'm not in favor of keeping Johnson. The program is too polluted at this point. I'm also not in favor of keeping Coyle. Like Maturi, he's better than terrible at his job and he's earnestly likable. That's good enough for Minnesota. It shouldn't be.

    Fire Ben Johnson

    Except for Jelly Fam, who wasn't any good, Johnson recruited most of Pitino's decent players. I used to fall asleep watching that weave 35 feet from the basket. Pitino's having success in New Mexico because he's got money to buy decent players.

    Agree on your second point. Hard to see how they are going to get any public money, especially when they are buying the asset at 40-50% of market value. (Also hard to see how these two operators had to scramble to raise money for such a steal. Doesn't bode well.) Reportedly, the expansion...

    Glad you are so thrilled about ARod. You are still butt hurt about taking the L on player wear and tear. You'll get over it.

    Impressions matter to all human beings, especially to 17-22 year olds. Having a shitty old building doesn't help. Having an empty bank account really hurts. We'll never know if Johnson can coach because he was hired under the old rules. Considering the climate, the building, the lack of...

    Arbitration ruling to determine who owns the Timberwolves and Lynx coming Friday or Monday

    As I've said, I'm fine with the change if Bloomberg really is involved and takes control of the partnership. At least he has NBA money. Taylor is not a paragon of virtue, but he's the liar we know and he has history and at least (maybe) a modicum of loyalty to this market. ARod is just a...
