It's like showing respect to a good post.

Yo, I can get down with this post. That's a +1 right there. imagine if you got like a +13 or something. Multiple peeps showing respect to your good post.

[j2j]

Why does that make you lazy? That's crazy. I don't understand in my mind.

It wasnt Abe, but screw him anyways.

It was lawndude.

Because it's soooooooo hard to quote and then type "+1"??

when was that and how did I end up in Wolves chat??

Mod forum, back in 1983. Hell of a time.

This is why I try to do and it brings about a lot of camaraderie in this place, stops it getting too serious.

Maybe we need a +1 emoji.

If there's a thumbs up button, there's also gotta be a thumbs down button for when you post some shit too.

That was tried on the old site and boy did it not work out right. Mcnabb would thumbs down someone several hundred times overnight.

Ha, sounds about right. Oh you know what, I do kind of remember that.

IIRC, he made Oh Canada leave the site because one day she woke up with like a -400 on a post or something along those lines.

I get a kick out of shenanigans like that actually....a huge negative number would be like a badge of honor unless you're just a known troll/asshole.

Fuck McNabb... he cannot hold my jock strap.

That was me that fucked over Oh Canada.... and it was fucking funny as shit.

Only 18 players in our teams history have players 5 or more seasons with us? Wow

[memyworld]

Working on that step back three...

Never missed a shot. Guaranteed all-star next year!

On a serious note though, I really hope a change in scheme will help get KAT back to this:

He just looked way more dominant on offense in his sophomore year. Just a random stat but since KAT came into the league and for players who took at least 15 FGA/game, He ranks 4th in eFG% and 3rd in TS%

That's what happens when you change course and lose intentionally every 4 years.

Damn, good pull. Pulling the team along with him is the next step in becoming a true superstar. That's essentially what the top seven guys on that list are capable of.

Some of the top guys on your list have improved over their careers. When you search the same criteria for all-time in their first four seasons, KAT ranks only behind Shaq: http://bkref.com/tiny/k1Xz0. He actually has the highest TS%.

Interesting that there are only 34 players who have taken >= 15 FGA/G in that original time period. Wiggins holding it down at the bottom with Westbrook and Wall. Hopefully changing his shot selection and getting his free-throw percentage back to where it was his first three seasons (76% all three years) will help.

Towns does come off as a prima donna to me. KG even said the dude thought he was hot shit as a rookie because he was #1 overall and from Kentucky. He does come off as a little entitled. Also the whining about calls has to stop. At a dead ball, sure go nuts and have a talk with the refs I guess, but Jesus, dude get back on defense.

Great player, but he can rub some the wrong way a bit.

[zeitgeist]

I will never forget Sam Mitchell verbally dressing down Tyus Jones during a game stoppage after an extremely minor mistake and him calling a timeout to just berate him on the floor for 2 minutes. The broadcast had to cut away from the team because it was just Sam Mitchell yelling at him vehemently for really no good reason.

It was fucked up and made me embarrassed to be a Wolves fan. Yep, that's our head coach acting completely professional.

How about when he was ramming his finger into Zach LaVine's chest? There's a reason laid back nice guy Vince Carter body slammed that idiot.

[bubu dubu.]

KAT's gonna have a lot of fantasy value early in the season.

Sam Mitchell was bad news. What sucks is I really liked him as a player. He was the elder statesman on those early KG teams and he was a steady hand you could rely on. What's crazy is he's still 4th in scoring for the Timberwolves all-time and was only recently passed by Wiggins and KAT.

You guys are the worst.

Why do I come here to read your obvious played out pessimism?

Battered wife syndrome aka Timberwolves fandom?

KAT is good but not great. He cant even get his "best friend" to sign here...That whole article just to say 5 years from now we'll still be losers.

We didn't have the cap space to sign his best friend.

Well Rosas got Culver, he may have an impact at some point in the next 5 years. He doesn’t handle the ball and doesn’t create well for himself outside, at least he didn’t last year...that’s why his shooting went down....he even admitted to that. So he ain’t helping KAT or really anyone on the team very soon.

Rosas has picked up a bunch of cheap scraps hoping he can salvage something out of one or two of them for the future.....there are no stars that’s for sure. Rosas will have cap space after next season and that’s when we will really be able to judge him, I am sure KAT is taking that exact same approach and saying all the right things like he should. I believe if Rosas can’t get players in that period when he has money to do it, KAT will demand out.

jodadamus.
