Celtics win in Detroit.

I was reading Brit Robson's back columns on the Wolves tonight and I came across this from the Boston game last week.
Most Wolves fans are intimately familiar with the debate, which prompts eye-opening claims on both sides. Detractors like to say that Garnett is merely a great sidekick, that he needs a more dominant personality [...]

It's been a while since we've heard any good KG's-not-that-good talk. Have at it.

Link.

I still remember when it hit me. I was sitting at my computer last season, looking at the Twolves payroll on hoopeshype.com and getting depressed over how terrible it looked. I had a revelation.  It was one of those moments of total clarity.  The Wolves will never win a championship with Garnett. [...]

Man, that uniform just looks wrong.

Get your first look at KG in his new Celtics uniform here:
http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/trainingcamp07/news/story?id=3051778
As usual, KG destroys the opposition with 19 points and 16 rebounds while juggling 5 tennis balls and donating $3.6 million to charity. Immediately after the game, he ripped the game ball into 6 pieces with his bare hands and gave each piece [...]

I don't normally have special contacts of any kind, but today an inside source sent me some pictures of a Lake Minnetonka property that recently went on the market. Unfortunately, I am not allowed to post these pictures here, but I will give out as much information as I can.
This house is alleged to [...]

It should never have come to this.

ESPN reports that Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor is preparing to trade Garnett.
It appears that Wolves management -- McHale and owner Glen Taylor -- is prepared for the first time to make a deal that would end the Garnett Era in Minneapolis after 12 seasons. Taylor, according to Wolves sources, has informed Garnett directly of that [...]

Top Jimmy:
McHale's willingness to fire coaches when players mutiny and Garnett's unwillingness to publicly reprimand recalcitrant teammates leave Wittman on globally warmed ice.
This article is about Mr. Ricky Davis, the under-achieving headache that is just one of a myriad of problems at 600 First Avenue North. Davis has been a problem everywhere he's been. [...]

I was reading an article on SI.COM on the Dwane Casey firing. I should stop right there and say that SI used to be the preeminent sports magazine in the country. I suppose that is still a true statement. But, it's clear that SI is not even close to the preeminent source for sports information [...]

The Wolves lost at home in double overtime to the Pistons on Friday night. It was a game that they should never have lost.
KG had another poor shooting night and scored just 14 points before he was ejected with just over five minutes remaining in the game. The Big Ticket had 19 rebounds, [...]

Kevin Garnett got his 10,000th rebound on Saturday night as the Wolves won for the ninth time in 12 games, 109-98 over New Jersey. The Wolves outscored the Nets 37-21 in the fourth quarter. KG had 12 of those points.
KG tallied 32 points and 14 rebounds on the night to go along with [...]

Kevin Garnett hit a shot at the buzzer in overtime to lead the Wolves to a 104-102 win over the Philadelphia 76ers. After starting slow (no points in the first quarter), the Big Ticket warmed up and produced the typical line: 25 points, 14 rebounds, and 5 assists.
If you have been watching, KG looks [...]

The Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the Utah Jazz on Friday night to pull even at 9-9 on the season. The T-Wolves have won six of nine and they got another inspired performance from Kevin Garnett tonight.
KG scored 31 points, grabbed 14 rebounds, dished out just one assist, but added two steals and three blocks. [...]

I turned on the Timberwolves game on Wednesday night and I saw probably the most exciting couple of minutes of T-Wolves basketball that I’ve seen in some time. The Wolves got a great win against a very good Houston team and my dour mood on the club brightened a little. Sometimes the game [...]

Player A: 33166 Minutes, 17660 points, 21.299 points per 40 minutes
Player B: 33245 Minutes, 17707 points, 21.304 points per 40 minutes
Player A is Kevin Garnett. Garnett's game has never been about scoring alone. But, he's been cast into the role of primary scorer because of the crappy team that was put [...]

• Another thing to blame on Bob Knight. Isiah Thomas:
"If I had it to do all over again, I'd never, ever want to play for any other coach other than him. There'd be no way in hell I'd be president of the Knicks had I not played at Indiana."
• [...]

Simmons isn't exactly the last word on things, but I think this is a reasonably good take on KG, even if it's not completely accurate. The entire article is pretty good, actually.
But maybe KG is too passionate for his own good. By all accounts, he's so wound up before games, it affects everyone around [...]

Must win this one to stop the bleeding. This is also an open discussion on KG, the player.
T-Wolves Win!

On Saturday night the Wolves lost again, this time at home to an Orlando team that lost on Friday in Indiana. The Wolves had three days off since their loss in Los Angeles, which one would think would give the Wolves an advantage. However, the Magic stuck it to the Wolves early and [...]

It's early in the season, but that Saturday night loss in Portland was a discouraging loss. It's tough to win on the road in the NBA. Even good teams rarely win much over 50% or so of their road games (of course, it does happen that some teams play better than that). [...]

Now, this is a game that the Wolves need to win. True, the Wolves are coming off of a back-to-back with a tough game last night in Denver. But, the T-Blazers were in Golden State last night and got beat by 13 against Nellie's crew. Plus, the T-Blazers stink. The Wolves [...]

The Timberwolves went into Denver on Friday night and beat the Nuggets 112-109. I watched about the first 15-20 minutes of game time, before falling asleep and carrying my carcass off to bed. I woke up this morning and went to the web to see that KG lead his team to victory, scoring [...]

I'm no Denver fan, that's for sure. 'Melo doesn't do it for me. I will admit that he played a lot better last year than I anticipated that he would.
After one game: KG outside of the fourth quarter: 19.93 points per 40 minutes. KG in the fourth quarter: 36.43n points [...]

I caught about 5 minutes of the Chicago/Miami game last night before I fell asleep. Tonight it's the Wolves. I will post game logs on the Wolves. I am fearful of a long, tough season.
But, as long as the guy who is 61st in career scoring, 35th in career rebounding, 89th in [...]

Steph Marbury, in town to promote a line of sneakers, talks about the only guy in the league who could actually play with him and make him a better player:
I would love to play with Kevin. We would love for him to come to New York. If he wants to play with me in New [...]

TJ takes a big swipe at KG in today's column. Apparently, TJ doesn't love KG as much as he loves Torii Hunter.

Top Jimmy can't bear the thought of trading Torii Hunter. But, he's now calling for the trade of Kevin Garnett.
The only way that I can be behind a trade for KG is to release him from this situation. But, if the Wolves trade KG, just board up 600 1st Avenue North.
When a player [...]
