Yep, I've been trying to analyze our games but there really isn't one thing that sticks out as bad. I do think Ricky is taking too many quick low percentage shots and KG needs to take closer shots at the end of games. Also I guess our defensive scheme can't defend the pick and roll. I know I probably just stated everything our announcers have been complaining about but it is true. We just play bad basketball all around.

Ok I wanna see what you guys would think of this trade.

Tim Thomas
Ben Gordon
1st Rnd Pick (Knicks, maybe #1 pick)
1st Rnd Pick (Bulls)

For

KG

Probably wont make any sense since you'll have Davis and Mccants in your backcourt. But those picks would look mighty nice to build around.

No way in hell do I do that trade with McHales history of drafts. I would only consider a trade if we got someone/something in return. Draft picks do nothing for me.

Seriously, Jaric was a bust(i thought that from the start) i think we need to deal him and hudson or madsen... maybe send all three to magic for francis
(wishful thinking!!!)

Yeah I never liked us getting Jaric. I don't know, I think the Magic may want a little more for francis.

Re: 05-06 Minnesota Timberwolves Team Thread

And to think we included a first rounder in the trade too. Sure it is lottery protected but still. I would really like to get Francis here, even though alot of people don't like him, I think hes just frustrated where he is. Even though people think he is a cancer it ain't like he could make our team any worse than it is.

Re: 05-06 Minnesota Timberwolves Team Thread

well no Francis obviously... if we don't make any moves then they better change the starting lineup.

Starters SHOULD BE..

G-Banks
G-Mccants
F-Davis
F-Garnett
C-Blount

That looks pretty. It really does.

I agree with them starters, I think Hassel is wayyy overrated in his defensive abilities. We need to get McCants way more playing time. It isn't like playing him more is gonna make us any worse, get the rookie some minutes and more experience.

I agree on all counts GR21 and MMan. I don't really know what Casey is thinking with his starting lineups or just his different sets of players within a game.

Re: 05-06 Minnesota Timberwolves Team Thread

This has been my biggest concern with Casey this year as well. Although I feel he does have a good future as a head coach in this league as his play calling coming out of timeouts and overall coaching is getting better as the year has gone on. However his rotations have been so inconsistant and I really feel that Mark Madsen has been getting too many minutes lately. I like the guy but he is only good in spurts.

Re: 05-06 Minnesota Timberwolves Team Thread

I would say we are probably one of the most pathetic teams in the league. 3-19 in our last 22 games. Hopefully Garnett is gone in the off-season, he's suffered too much.

Yeah, at this point it doesn't look as if the T-wolves will ever win a Championship. We are really playing bad. I really hope KG gets the chance to win one before he retires whether it be with the Timberwolves or not.
