Minnesota Timberwolves – Page 45

Chase Budinger 17 Points Full Highlights (4/9/2013)

Here’s an interesting stat that the Warriors commentators brought up during last night’s Warriors-Wolves game: both Chase Budinger and Kevin Love have only appeared in 18 games this season. One of them got legitimately injured in a game, and the other purposely broke his hand doing knuckle pushups so he could lower his value and…

JJ Barea 21 Points Full Highlights (3/26/2013)

The Timberwolves hit 13 (actually 14 oops) threes tonight against the Pistons, which is notable since they are a horrible three-point shooting team, by far the worst in the league. Love, Rubio, Ridnour, Williams, Kirilenko, Shved and Gelabale are all shooting below 32% on the season. Their best three baller is shooting a paltry 34%….

Alexey Shved 16 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (3/12/2013)

I’m going to get crucified for saying this, but our Russian friend Alexey “Shveddy Balls” Shved has been, aside from a few games, pretty awful this year. He’s shot below 40% from the field in well over half his games, and while he’s a good passer and plays the game smartly, he really shouldn’t be…

Greg Stiemsma 10 Points Full Highlights (3/10/2013)

The Timberwolves have been wracked with injuries this year. I’m sure you know this. The once promising season has turned into disappointment as Rubio remain the only good uninjured player. Unless you think Stiemsma is good. Heh. That’s not to say he’s bad. But he’s no Nikola Pekovic. I don’t think he can even grow…

Derrick Williams 23 Points Full Highlights (2/24/2013)

Derrick Williams was getting tired of it. The taunts, the ridicule, the shame. In between classes, at lunch, after school, he never heard the end of it. “There goes that tweener. What a loser. I bet you can’t even start him at either forward spot.” “Ew, Julie, gross! I would never date a tweener!” “Hey…

Greg Stiemsma Career High 13 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (2/22/2013)

Greg “Self Estiemsma” is a weird case. He was never any good as a college player, averaging at best 3 points and 3 rebounds a game, along with being diagnosed with depression. I’d be depressed too if I sucked like that. But now he’s in the NBA. Averaging 3 points and 3 rebounds a game….

Mickael Gelabale 11 Points Full Highlights (2/2/2013)

Mickael “I have the ball” Gelabale has been pretty good for the Timberwolves this year. Not a world beater, but he’s a nice role-player. He supports my hypothesis that there is a lot of untapped talent in the Eurozone. How can some random dude from Lithuania be any worse than Jason Collins?

Dante Cunningham 18 Points Full Highlights (2/2/2013)

Dante “Crafty Pork” Cunningham was having a good night. He had just taken nine field goals in a game versus the Hornets, but not only that, he didn’t miss a single one. Not one. So sitting by himself in the little Moroccan restaurant near his place, enjoying a masterfully prepared plate of couscous, he was…

Luke Ridnour 22 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (1/26/2013)

Luke Ridnour. Is he a starting-caliber point guard? No. Was he secretly happy that Rubio injured himself? Yes. How often has he fantasized about slamming Rubio’s knees with a crowbar until they resemble undercooked Hamburger Helper? Very often. How often has he fantasized about dunking in-game? More often.
