    Ben Johnson is a Disaster

    I think Ben needs to call The Barrister personally to thank him for the opportunity of a lifetime.

    The two tight games against NO are further proof that the wolves need a real point guard. The good teams are going to pressure the hell out of whoever is trying to initiate the offense and the wolves don't have good ball handlers. Most of the time Ant is going to initiate the offense and his...

    There’s A-Rod, and there’s Alex.

    Only a narcissist would make a documentary about how he's not a narcissist anymore.

    Does OKC have a shot at the all time regular season win record

    Aren't the refs supposed to call techs for flops?

    BTW, we are so fucking lucky to watch Ant do his thing 90-100 times a year. We can pick nits here and there, but he's a generational talent who plays with joy for himself and his teammates. It's unlikely, but I hope he ends his career in a decade or so as a wolf.

    This is exactly the kind of game we've seen them lose about a million times over the years. For that reason, I think it was a pretty good win. It's the sign of a mature, confident team that when the fourth quarter rolls around it knows it can and should put away losing teams. Do you think NO...

    Not sure they broke anything. I took a look at his KY highlights and the shot looks the same to me. Body parts going in all different directions. I can't prove it because I can't find the stat but I would bet that the difference in his shooting percentage this year compared to last season is...

    It is a joke...on Ant. SGA is super nice to the refs so he gets those absurd calls. Ant yells, waves his arms and the refs say "sorry, pal" and laugh about it after the game. Until they find a way for robots and AI to officiate the games, SGA is going to get those calls and Ant won't as long...

    Reusse - TOY Speculation / Column

    I don't think Reusse should have bestowed half the award to JJ. It's not his fault the Vikings drafted McCarthy with full awareness that Harbaugh never let him throw the ball. KOC was the golden boy who tripped over his own hubris. He shouldn't have to share such a prestigious award with a 22...

    Reusse - TOY Speculation / Column

    Has there ever been a year with more deserving candidates? I don't think he's going to give it to Pohlad two years in a row but the Twins stand out amongst the morass. I'm going with Falvey. He traded away half the team at the deadline and hired a guy who had lost 100 games three times in his...

    That's lazy. Nobody's asking for Ben to come back. What some of us are saying is that there are some initial benchmarks that are or should be controllable that look like JJ McCarthy trying to hit a receiver in stride. Not one decent preseason home game for the folks that pay the bills. A...

    What you are describing is a lack Last year's team shot 66.4% from the line which ranked 332nd in D1. This year's team is at 65.0% through six games. Good games at the line aren't following good games. The coaches are obviously trying to teach better FT shooting techniques and habits...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA VS SAN FRANCISCO IN SOUTH DAKOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    I was about to comment that it’s not as if Johnson’s top 10 was HOF but it did include two NBA guys and a third who might make it if he recovers from a gruesome injury. If Johnson could have paid those guys their market value maybe they would have stayed for another year. Medved doesn’t need a...

    What is Niko building?

    After last night's game, I take it back. I can definitely understand a lack of talent in year one. Last night was something different.

    I would definitely put Mike Mitchell in your top ten. Maybe Cade Tyson makes it but I disagree on Crocker Johnson. Crocker-Johnson was among multiple players who shoot like Rudy Gobert. They were throwing the ball somewhere in the vicinity of the hoop and if it happened to go in, hallelujah...

    This was the first game that I watched start to finish. I take back everything I said in my post a couple of days ago about some semblance of a system in place. This was the most ill prepared gopher team I've ever seen and I've been punishing myself with this nonsense for decades. For those...

    What is Niko building?

    I don't have a clue what he is or isn't building. Way too soon to say. Based on what I've seen so far, it's the usual collection of hodge podge players to which we've grown accustomed. The distinction with a difference is that his system looks pretty organized. Players are actually cutting...

    Great player. Hard pass. I think the wolves have a pretty good locker room compared to most NBA locker rooms. If you subtract Naz and add 33 year old Kyrie who might not want to defer to Ant, then you are asking for chemistry combustion. At 33, coming off of major knee surgery, the Kyrie...

    As the cliche goes, he's two years away from being two years away. He tried to shoot the Wizards into a comeback last night. He must lead the league in blocked shot attempts per minute.
