Everything you need to know about Andrew Wiggins became evident about a week ago. The league-worst Minnesota Timberwolves were hosting the Cleveland Cavaliers, who were riding a winning streak. LeBron James, the NBA’s best player, was making his lone visit to the frozen tundra. And the game marked the return to Minnesota of Kevin Love, who was unable to lift the Timberwolves out of mediocrity before forcing a trade last summer. Love was dealt to Cleveland, and Wiggins – the top overall
With February quickly approaching, the discussion for who belongs on an All-Star team this year is the hot topic in the minds of many. The time for fans to vote in the starters is officially over, and the coaches can then consider who they’ll want to select as the reserves of their respective conferences. I’ve already put plenty of thought into this (which you can check here), but we’ll have to see what the fans did first before going into detail on
Mo Williams was a member of the Utah Jazz on two separate occasions. He was initially drafted by the Jazz in the second round of the 2003 NBA Draft, and then signed a one-year deal there for the 2012-13 season. He has his connections there obviously, and has been a fan favorite just about anywhere he goes. On Tuesday, Mo posted a photo to his Instagram of a very important person in the Jazz family that passed away. [Read more…]
The Cleveland Cavaliers (22-20) seem to finally be turning things around, having won three straight — two over the Clippers and Bulls — after a brutal stretch of 10 losses in 12 games. But they aren’t forgetting what got them in that hole. The Cavs are 1-8 this season without LeBron James, and injuries to both he and Kevin Love have exposed Cleveland’s roster for lacking depth. They addressed that need up front (Timofey Mozgov) and at the wing spots (J.R.
One of the biggest knocks against the NBA is that when the season starts, there are only five or six teams that can truly win the championship, making the regular season and the early playoff rounds interminably tedious. Not this season. As we reach the midway point – 18 teams have played at least 41 games, another nine have played 40 – there are no less than a dozen teams with legitimate title aspirations, including a handful that haven’t been in the
The audacity of some people. Some people presume to know what’s going on in your life and make their judgments without regard for the truth. It’s a sad reality, but reality nonetheless. Some people just think they know you. They make assertions about you and make backhanded or overt insults about you on social media. Such is the case with Mo Williams, who left the Portland Trail Blazers as a free agent in the offseason and signed with the Minnesota Timberwolves. A
On Wednesday the Minnesota Timberwolves took some time to enjoy the perks of being on a road trip. They traveled to Washington to take on the Wizards on Tuesday, which they lost 109-95, but they still had some fun away from home. After their loss, the Wolves made a trip around Washington, D.C. to do a little sightseeing. They made their way through the Pentagon, where one of the players got a little comfy. [Read more…]
If you are not moving forward, then you are going backward. And if you stand still, you will get run over. Those are two of my “Gonzoisms.” We are one month into the NBA season, and in my opinion the Cleveland Cavaliers need to take some risks and make a move or they will not get where they are trying to get. You want to win a championship in that town for the first time in any sport since 1964? You
