they'll most likely make the playoffs, it'll be interesting to see how rubio, roy, ak47, love and pekovic will mesh together.

“@Twolves_PR: Long practice for [URL=http://www.the-coli.com/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=TWolves]#TWolves [/URL] today...about 4 hours. Rick Adelman said he kept going because players were getting into the scrimmage at the end”

“@Twolves_PR: [URL=http://www.the-coli.com/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=TWolves]#TWolves [/URL] Brandon Roy said he feels good after 1st practice. Said he felt comfortable on the court.”

“@Twolves_PR: [URL=http://www.the-coli.com/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=TWolves]#TWolves [/URL] Chase Budinger sat out some of practice w/ strained left hamstring that he suffered last week. Not serious, team being cautious.”

“@MarkRemme: Observations from Day 1: Lots of conditioning, B-Roy didn't hold back, Luke's shot looks solid & team high energy/competitive in scrimmages.”

“@APkrawczynski: Adelman just raved about Derrick Williams today. Considering how he felt about DWill last year, it was eye-opening to hear”

“@APkrawczynski: Adelman sees a more dedicated, focused, harder working Derrick Williams. That would make a world of difference for [URL=http://www.the-coli.com/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=TWolves]#TWolves [/URL] ”

“@APkrawczynski: Adelman on Williams: "We talked for 4 months last yr and it was always inconsistent effort. Today he was terrific."”

“@JoanNiesen: Love: "We have different guys that can step out there and… make a real difference on this team. It’s not just me. It’s all of us together.””

“@JoanNiesen: Timberwolves asst Bill Bayno went to Montenegro this summer, said first thing he did was pull Pek's shirt up to see if his stomach was flat.”

“@APkrawczynski: Brandon Roy felt good enough to convince coaches to let him run in 5 on 5. "A bunch of different bridges I'm crossing. This was another 1"”


Good to see Rick change about Williams....

What was the other thread title?

"Odd Future Wolves Gang (No Ocean): '12-'13 Wolves Thread"

It's not too late to edit...think about it:

- if they suck, you can call 'em the "Loiter Squad".
- if anybody important is out for a lot of the season (i'm looking at you Brandon Roy) you can call him "_____ Sweatshirt".

good to hear broy is feeling good, we might get some quality minutes out of him this season

If Wiliams can step in as that super 6th man off the bench until A-K's contract is up We might have something here brehs

A healthy and somewhat consistent Roy changes everything.

A healthy Brandon Roy is a top 5 SG, top 20 basketball player. I don't think he'll be what he used to be, but in late game situations, he'll be key. He'll be key even now because he'll do much of the ballhandling til Rubio comes back, so Luke and Chase just need to stay open in the corner.

why do nikkas feel the need to harp on the fact they dont have alot of black players. should we also call the heat the Miami nikkas???

I've been watching a lot of highlights from his Portland days and I noticed he had the ball in his hands alot Very ball dominant player.

I keep telling myself that we wont be getting that B. Roy but if we can get 70% of that guy we should be in good shape.

That's the only conflict he'll have with Rubio. Flabby and sick Roy was still better than what we had. He'll have his moments where he's fine. The moments where he doesn't look as good, bring out Chase early on and then at the end of the year, see how Shved's weight training is coming along because he's got an NBA ready game.
