Flynn, the No. 6 pick, has been a disappointment. The conventional wisdom is that he's been hamstrung by coach Kurt Rambis' triangle offense, but the numbers don't back it up. Among rookie point guards, only Evans and Jennings have attempted more shots per minute than Flynn (yes, the deadeye Curry shoots less often) and Flynn leads all rookies in turnovers per minute -- triangle or not, he's hardly disengaged from those half-court sets.

I don't want to say anything in defiance of the League's wishes that we stay quiet on collective bargaining. But I'll echo what the commissioner said at All-Star, there should be a more robust revenue-sharing program out of this agreement. I will say though, that having worked at Indiana for nine years, and now here, there's no question that he difference in broadcast markets has an impact on your revenues. I mean, that's just obvious. New York, L.A., Chicago, the Bay Area, they're in the top ten, and especially those first three, have the opportunity to drive revenues that simply don't ...

Casper's 2010 Big Board and Mock Draft 3-08-2010

2010-03-08 21:09:54 - Canis Hoopus

So, as I warned all of you in my first comments and fanpost on this site, I am a draft nut and as such most of my contributions to this board will be about prospects until the Timberwolves improve their product on the court.  With the Timberwolves following up a pretty awful loss which was agonizing to watch, there likely needs to be a bit of something to raise spirits, and the hope for the future is one of the main things to get my mind off watching Love play only 12 minutes, Flynn commit 8 TOs, or Sasha &%#$ing Pavlovic playing ...

From Ray Richardson/Pioneer Press: Jefferson went through a rigorous conditioning and drills program while serving his two-game suspension without pay for his DWI arrest on Feb. 28 near downtown Minneapolis."Al has done everything as accurately and correctly as you could possibly ask somebody to do, under the circumstances," Rambis said of Jefferson, who had 36 points and 13 rebounds in the Wolves' 125-112 loss to Dallas. "He's handled the situation very well. I'm proud of him as a ballplayer and as a man. He own...Read More

Wolves 112, Mavericks 125

2010-03-08 19:53:15 - TWolves Blog - Minnesota Timberwolves News and Articles

Wolves record: 14-50 Box Score From Ray Richardson/Pioneer Press: On a night when Al Jefferson had a season-high 36 points and 13 rebounds, the Timberwolves had too many ball-handling issues and defensive breakdowns to cause concern for the high-flying Dallas Mavericks. The Wolves' 125-112 loss Monday night at Target Center generated some unflattering numbers that almost overshadowed Jefferson's return from hi...Read More

Prowling the NBA: March 7 - How did you get so many Q's?

ESPN is a sports giant. It covers every sport on every corner of the planet, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It broadcasts from 5 different studios in the US alone. It essentially owns all sports coverage on the ABC network, and is in turn, owned by the monolithic Disney Corporation. It has an abbreviated name so iconic that no one even remembers what "E.S.P.N." is supposed to stand for anymore (Entertainment and Sports Programming Network, for those of you who are curious)But let's focus on what really matters: it has Shaq playing Scrabble

The "ESPN NBA RV" (longest acronym ...
