Overcoming odds: I once won a signed Kirby Puckett bat from a Cub Foods drawing (I love my Cub - shameless plug). Never mind that I stuffed the box with about 100 entries and the box was very plain on the service center counter. I won that [redacted] fair and square.

I use semi-colons regularly; they’re invaluable.

The City Pages: Way behind RandBall, since 1996.

I think Roy should have gone there and taken notes on how to coach in a big game instead of cheering and wearing stickers. He has always choked during big games and Saturday is another example of that. His players weren’t playing great but it is his job to use timeouts, subs, and to calm his players down effectively and yet again he showed he is not capable of that. His national title came from one of the best college lineups in a long time and only won because he just left them in the game and let them play it out themselves.

Rose was off all the first half and has a sub par night yet his stat line was 18, 6, and 8…solid off night

I think that Rose isn’t Chris Paul or Deron Williams.

He’s more like Mike Conley Jr–he’ll be a fine NBA player, but he’s not going to step in and dominate immediately. Only because he’s so absurdly athletic was he able to get as many points as he did in the second half–that won’t happen against NBA opposition. I don’t think he’s a bad player, but he’s not going to step into a team next year and star.

Rand…you pointed the finger…and I’ll answer. I don’t think of the “hair on fire incident” as wiggling out of the situation. I see it as more of ending the situation all together. Which reminds me, I was up at the Randball HQ on Friday night and saw her out. She’s still mad. Who would have thought?

Sorry Dave I must have been to busy being pissed at Mr. Packer but didn’t Rose have 8 assists and get accused of not looking for his shot enough? He is not a combo guard at all in my opinion. He is a pass first point guard who can rebound, defend, and has an okay shot. After watching last nights game I am actually leaning more towards taking Rose with the #1 overall pick. Unfortunatley the Wolves will be drafting 5th and taking Eric Gordon aka Rashad McCants Jr.

where no one can set-up the option

“Option” was supposed to be “Offense”… Yikes.

The Wolves are trying to fulfill everyone’s dream of a team full of combo-guards, where no one can set-up the option, no one wants to pass, and there are unlimited options for who can take the last shot of the game…
