"I just felt a calm and a peace that had to be come from the woman above (his mom). I felt like a kid. It was just fun out here. It felt like I was a kid getting ready to go play my Saturday AAU games and Sunday AAU games. In a way I felt like I was seeing her in the stands"
I want to give a shout out to my guy @MeatSauce1 who NOBODY reacted to after a couple of great quotes today
Hawk: "A horse stabbing suspect..."
Sauce: "Could he not get down the mountain?" (Callback)
-----------
Hawk: "Try this on for size"
Sauce: "I don't think it'll fit."
@JonKrawczynski@badanglebball It doesn't matter, Jon. How many games in a row does Naz play where you can rely on him over and over for his price? That is my problem with him. We have too many players that are not smart on the floor and not consistent. He fits that category.
The Minnesota Timberwolves are deeply saddened by the passing of Hall of Fame coach Rick Adelman.
Adelman served as head coach of the Timberwolves from 2011-14 and exemplified leadership, integrity and professionalism throughout his distinguished career. Serving as head coach for five teams over 23 NBA seasons, he became one of the game’s most respected and accomplished leaders, finishing 10th on the league’s all-time wins list. Adelman made a lasting impact on our organization, his players and the game of basketball.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to wife Mary Kay, the Adelman family and all who had the privilege of knowing him.
“The Minnesota Timberwolves are on the verge of making one of the worst trades in NBA history. If Karl-Anthony Towns … [brings] a championship to New York, that’s going to make the Minnesota Timberwolves look like fools.”
