Below is a make believe conversation that may or may not take place after the Wolves beat the Magic tonight.
Jerry Zgoda: Dwight, there has been a lot of speculation as to where you might end up this season.
Dwight Howard: Kevin Love and Ricky Rubio are really talented players, they really impressed me tonight. I could see myself playing in Minnesota.
Jerry Zgoda: Umm...
Dwight: I am committed to giving it my all in Orlando though. I would never ask for a trade
Jerry Zgoda: Sure...
Dwight: It is just that sometimes, you know, I want to win championships and I don't know that if the team I have here in Orlando will help me in accomplishing that goal.
Jerry Zgoda: ....
Dwight: But yeah, I think that New York, New Jersey, LA, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, and Minnesota all present those opportunities.
Jerry Zgoda: So are you saying that you want to play in Minnesota?
Dwight: Look man, I don't know why you reporters keep asking me questions like this. I just want to play the game and help Orlando win a championship.
Tonight, watch Dwight Howard sullenly put up 20/13 while not interacting with his teammates in anyway what so ever.
live by the three, die by the three. Hopefully the Magic will cool down
No TV for me tonight. Boo.
Game is on NBATV and hence blocked out on league pass.
Wolves gotta start hitting these three point attempts
OH BOY Drew Butera coming up after the break. thanks FSN
i'm sitting at whole foods, enjoy one of these (BA is down) for $3, and thanks to GH's comment, i decided to ask if they carried NBATV. they do. awesome.
I'm sorry I caused you to be subjected to this.
whoa, a Darko sighting
this is getting ugly
Darko..3 fouls in 4 minutes. cool. cool cool.
JJ really needs to give up on his rubio aspirations.
He is a turnover machine and had an awful first half from what I saw.
Wolves down 12, but it feels like 30. no shots are going down and those pesky turnovers are creeping back in the game
the magic draining 3s ain't helping either.
barea with 5 effing TOs.
I have no ability to watch tonight's game, so will have few comments. But, without looking at the box score or seeing any game action, I feel I can say with confidence that Darko sucks and should not play for this team.
In the cards for NBA keeper leagues next season is a new team name: A couple inches of pain.
for the record, Jason Whitlock seems to be compensating for something....
Does anyone know if the Wolves will be scoring in the second half?
Outlook is "unlikely".
Curse you magic 8 ball!
Why doesn't Adleman just schedule a bunch of Close Range and Mid/Long Range practices at "intense" like I do in NBA2K11?
Tonight was the night that I realized that JJ Barea is the Nick Punto of the Timberwolves.
He tries to do layups head first?
I just threw up a little in my mouth.
i thought ridnour was the punto of the wolves. do we have two puntos now?
A couple Puntos, some Buteras and maybe a Batista in there.
Wes = Tolbert?
I think Wes = Butera is more apt. No offense, perceived good defense
Wait, I think I was calling Wes = Blackburn in the last podcast because he's the guy we all want to toss in any trade offer regardless of what is being asked for.
SCB should shoot more corner threes.
The Wolves really should try not to fall behind by 15+ points every night.
huge push off by Reddick, then drains a 3. ugh
I've noticed a habit, and I am just going to say habit, of the Wolves getting absolutely mugged and not getting any calls.
Pek! has played a pretty good defensive game against Howard . I hope this good defense trend continues for him
The Wolves are now 3-9 against the Eastern Conference. oofta
on the positive side of things, the Gophers womens team knocked off another Top 15 opponent at The Barn. Rachel Banham is a fantastic player
wow. Good for them! Maybe having Lindsay Whalen back home is rubbing off!
