Timberwolves: Historically Bad Last Night

To make matters worse, their record-setting performance came against the Warriors, of all teams: “That 146-105 loss tied franchise records for most points allowed — the Warriors had 74 by halftime, 111 by the end of three quarters — and largest margin of defeat. The only other time the Wolves surrendered 146 points was  April 1, 1994 (no April’s Fools joke) right there at Golden State as well. New Wolves assistant coach Darrick Martin was  a rookie on that team that included J.R. Rider, Christian Laettner, Doug West, Sean Rooks, Winston Garland and too many other famous players to mention. The only other time a Wolves team lost by 41 points was a March 1996 game at Miami, which was a 113-72 winner that night late in Kevin Garnett’s rookie season.”

    now i look back at the days of minnesota’s mediocrity with a smile. why wouldn’t rubio want a spot on this juggernaut?

    I loved Darrick Martin when he was a rookie. No joke.

    Rubios handlers look smarter with each passing game.

    Someone tell me the Triangle Offence messing up their defence!

    I’m really not impress with the way the team been playing. Only one playing is J_Flynn (a rookie) to me. C.Brewer got D ,but can’t shoot that well. Which leads to Ryan Gomes. Ryan to me have the same skills as Carmelo Anthony, post up & outside game. But he not scoring much or not putting up enough shots. Kevin Love out, which is a minus. Kurt giving Oleksiy Pecherov pemission to shoot is a no-no! Sasha need to give that game he had when he with in that Cleveland final appearence. I can go on with this, maybe I need to write a blog about this! Can I gat some feedback?

    To touch on what horsey and YKnot wrote, the fact that players are dictating where they want to play (Rubio) is so disheartening to me. The league will suffer if players aren’t willing to play where they are drafted. To me, Rubio doesn’t deserve to play on a winning team. What has he done to deserve that?

    well with ryan gomes i think he’s not near melo intensity…and i guess thats what you mean but its also they plays they draw up ..thier so scrambled like that i question the coach ….then you got j-flynn which is a great pg but this team will turn his game into something else…and maybe not something we would like to see in the furture…C.Brew is dissapointing because he thinks he better than he is …hes not even better than his brother..which who is play great .

    i kind of felt that he would have a green light (like curry in new york almost) so he could run around all he wanted for a few years and parlay that into a decent contract with a team who has a chance of going somewhere someday. flynn isn’t bad, but 32% from distance and 3.5 turnovers a game (1:1, assist:turnover) kind of takes the pressure off of rubio. that’s kind of what i meant…kind of.

  • What Weak Rookie Class? Posted: Nov.10 at 4:42 pm
    [...] hell, can break people down, and has elite athleticism, but I’ve only seen him in NBA action in a 40-point blowout. It’s hard for me to compare him to a guy like Brandon Jennings at this point – Flynn is [...]

    This team is exactly why I laughed out loud when pundits were picking my Nets to be the worst team in the league. Granted we are winless, but there’s no way we’re as bad as minny with all our starters. nor sacramento, idiana, milwaukee, or new york.

    Well Nathan Jawai set career highs in basically every statistical category, so that’s something. I think.

    Kevin Martin was cool. Also Garland was a solid back up. And Doug West was a top in game dunker back in the day. That team was just used to losing.
