@streethistory No.. this was in Nov 2000, early in his second season. He was chirping back at vets in practices, apparently tired of criticism. KG went nuts after practice where they’d had a dust up in a scrimmage

[Punch-Drunk Wolves @PDWolves]

On this day in Timberwolves history, KG fought Wally after (not during!) practice.

Derrick Rose and Tom Thibodeau

Wolves should be too. Adelman raised them up from hell.

[Nate Jones @JonesOnTheNBA]

Both the Blazers and the Kings are wearing Adelman jersey patches this season. You know you had an impact in the league when two teams are wearing a jersey patch to mourn your passing.

all time great sports voice

Lou Carnesecca and Chris Mullin

@Stylz_RapIsLife It’s a good problem to have, with Bones and Lyles each making strong claims for minutes. I would have Clark as an every game 8th man in the fully healthy rotation, but I am not blind to the arguments for other guys. TJ has had moments too.

[Punch-Drunk Wolves @PDWolves]

early-season narrative to quash is "Jaylen Clark started making 3s, which means now he deserves to play!"

No. First, he isn't making that many more 3s now than before. Second, he absolutely deserved to play previously - that was a Finch mistake. His defense has always been this.

[Punch-Drunk Wolves @PDWolves]

LaMelo Ball has a net rating of +19.1.

That's good.

[Punch-Drunk Wolves @PDWolves]

we need Adam Silver to allow 7 players on the court at a time.

@Timb3r_Wolf @PDWolves imagine adding ant and donte

[Punch-Drunk Wolves @PDWolves]

it feels like weeks ago, but I think before this game got silly, the keys were a huge bench stint primarily but not entirely led by Bones, and then total LaMelo dominance with some Kuminga/Rudy sprinkles.

[Punch-Drunk Wolves @PDWolves]

The Wolves have had 12 games now, and 11 of them were strong performances.

[Punch-Drunk Wolves @PDWolves]

@companeromarcus yep, that's the deal. They put in cody, we keep watching.

[Punch-Drunk Wolves @PDWolves]

Clark won't rest until he's up by 50.

[Punch-Drunk Wolves @PDWolves]

Tim Connelly did a wonderful thing, this roster assembly.

[Punch-Drunk Wolves @PDWolves]

This game is mathematically over, the Wolves are up by 32 points, and it kind of just feels like nobody should have to play the last quarter.

[Punch-Drunk Wolves @PDWolves]

it is beginning to seem like having a 6'7" point guard with elite skills and instincts is helpful/conducive to winning

[Punch-Drunk Wolves @PDWolves]

We're almost up by 30 now despite a sluggish start to this game, so that's good.

[Punch-Drunk Wolves @PDWolves]

does that mavericks player think he plays for the timberwolves why is he throwing a behind the back pass like that

[Punch-Drunk Wolves @PDWolves]

This is how Naismith intended that you come out of halftime.

[Punch-Drunk Wolves @PDWolves]

Dick Vitale would've been great on a LaMelo Ball heater. Not sure why that just came to mind, but it's true enough.
