I saw this the other night since watching the Timberwolves has suddenly become common practice for me. I can't be the only one that has any thoughts of foul play here, can I? I'm a Luis Scola fan, but one thing we have come to see in the past from European, South American and other international players, is that soccer-style, "do anything to get an edge no matter how...

Whilst trying to save a ball from going out of bounds during Monday’s Houston-Minnesota game, Luis Scola accidentally hit T-Wolves forward Kevin Love right in the bean bag with the ball, sending Love to the floor in obvious pain.
I’m not sure what’s funnier—Love getting nailed in the groin with a basketball, or the announcer referring to the fallen Minnesota...

MINNEAPOLIS Frank Vogel spoke like someone who already knew what was going to happen."It's going to be a smash-mouth basketball game for sure," said Vogel, the Pacers' coach, before Wednesday's game. "It's going to be a battle on the glass."He smiled. He shrugged a little. It was as if he was imagining just what his beast of a team could do to...

That's weird, I've never heard testicles referred to as a "love stomach" before. Anyways, that's Phi Slamma Jamma graduate and NBA legend Clyde "The Glide" Drexler describing Luis Scola's unfortunate hustle play and likely America's Funniest Home Videos finalist. It's also humbling that a well-placed basketball can reduce 6'10"...

MINNEAPOLIS Just a week after his team signed fourth-year forward Kevin Love to a three-year contract extension worth more than 60 million, Timberwolves' president of basketball operations David Kahn finds himself very much in the middle of a franchise turnaround.

Lesson learned for Kevin Love and the Minnesota Timberwolves: Don't get Danny Granger angry.With the Pacers and T-Wolves on the rise, both are starting to gain attention from the rest of the league. Last night, both got in an aggressive battle, and it went as far as to Granger and Love having a scuffle towards the end of the third quarter. After that, Granger started lighting...

The Rockets embarrassed themselves and their family with a disgraceful third quarter performance yesterday against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
After a competitive first half, the Rockets defense gave up 42 points in the third quarter. Despite Timberwolves reserve, Wesley Johnson’s best attempt to provide the Rockets with a win by turning the ball over and playing poorly, the...

MINNEAPOLIS Giving up a lead is a matter of perspective. One team blowing it is another team fighting its way back in, and no one wants to claim the more passive role.
On Sunday night in the Lakers' locker room, losing an 18-point lead was deemed irresponsible, blowing it. They'd let the Timberwolves back into the game. Lakers' coach Mike Brown mused that he'd love...
