We are all happy today, Steve.
Except Timberwolves fans that is...
Apastration - Canis Hoopus
Surely there has to be a word that describes what is going on with the Wolves right now. It's somewhere in between boredom and apathy, frustration and anger, regret and hope, and all sorts of other polar and not-so-polar dichotomies. After the worst stampling (another combo word deserving of this team) of the year I can't quite find the right word to describe how I feel about this club right now.
On one hand we were told from the get-go that this was going to be a rebuilding year. The team's front office has been very open about this fact and they have engaged in what they call an "aggressive fan development program" to win back the casual viewing sports public in this town.

"But when the Dec. 29 trade to Minnesota was presented ... the Suns assumed he would play more. Minnesota said it would give him a shot. And Tucker is playing less than ever. Mike D'Antoni used him more (barely)." About sums that up. Too bad for Alando. I like the kid. -

Mike Gansey: A D-League Road Trip for the Ages - Ridiculous Upside
He flew Abq-San Francisco-Portland, Oregon-Boise!!! Now that is a heck of a day right there. Need I remind you we all left somewhere between 4:45-6:30 am to get to the airport and we had a game at 7 pm that night! We all got to our Boise hotel from 2-4 pm depending on the group you were in, which left enough time to go touch your hotel room wall and head to the game.
