Minnesota Timberwolves

Took my son to his first NBA game & we both enjoyed it! Loved the spirit in the stadium! The fans were awesome!

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but…
THE MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES HAD AN AMAZING DRAFT!
Granted, they won the improbable (because T-​Wolves), yet well-​deserved #1 pick in this year’s draft (first ever in franchise history), and didn’t mess it up! And yes, Wolves fans had a reason to worry, since the team’s draft history (aside from KG) has been poor at best.
Example I: In 2009, we selected I-​cant-​shoot-​to-​save-​my-​life Ricky Rubio and then Johnny Flynn! (Who is that? Exactly…) We had two chances to select Steph Curry — this year’s MVP — TWICE!
Example II: Ugh. I guess it’s not as bad as 1996, when we considered drafting Kobe Bryant and then didn’t. Scrubs in management back then, I tell you. Scrubs.
Karl Anthony Towns projects to be a superstar and brings a much needed rim protector. Not to mention, the young man can post up, has a mid-​range J, runs the floor, and dribbles pretty well! I see him as a Anthony Davis type of player. Okafor is better on offense, but his defense is absent.
I didn’t care too much for our two second round picks, because those spots usually serve as roster fillers anyway. If you’re lucky, one might pan out and get his team a double double once every blue moon. Thankfully, we traded them to the Cleveland Cavaliers for their first rounder to select Apple Valley product and Final Four MVP Tyus Jones! (Didn’t see this one coming!)
We needed someone to push Rubio at Point and fill as a backup, since Lavine is more of a shooting guard or small forward. What an amazing surprise! I appreciate the Cavs, for helping build my team. Ha ha ha.
Seriously, the Wolves could make some serious noise next year! Good job, management!

Love attending live sporting events and the Minnesota Timberwolves in particular. You get to see world class talent for a fraction the price of other big cities.
While the in game hosts are not that good, the DJ is proficient and the action on he floor is always entertaining.
If you only want to see the hometown team win… this is not the place for you.

I got to see KG’s debut last week and his entrance was amazing! Check out my video and photos. The game was one of the best I’ve been to and the energy in the crowd was high and intense! Virtually all the seats were occupied which is a first in a long time.
We bought our lower level seats for $ 29 back in the day before KG’s debut was announced so we ended up with a great bargain since the same seats were over $ 100 after his debut game was announced.
I also like T-​wolves games since I never get spilled or spit on and the fans seem less obnoxious than NFL games.

The Timberwolves have not enjoyed too many winning seasons in their existence. They have had some great or really good individual players over the years: Kevin Garnett, Latrell Spreewell, Christian Laettner, Chuck Pearson who was better before his Minnesota days but now have alot of young players and some talent but can’t seem to win games. Kevin Love is a double double machine but can’t do it all. Rubio is good to a point, you have young guns like Cunningham, Kevin Martin and Budinger but still have alot of work to do playing against the tough west coast teams. I wish to visit this arena one day and regret not buying a Laettner jersey with the old logo back in the days. The logo like the one in picture I put up of the earrings. Hope K. Love stays to build a legacy though it maybe he can come to NY. We will pay him and take him.

Great arena! Recently watched the timberwolves for the first time and was very impressed. The layout of the place is great, really easy to navigate and plenty of restrooms and places to buy souvenirs, food and drinks.
The seats for the game are really comfortable and actually worked — a vast improvement on many Arenas I’ve been to.
Overall I couldn’t fault this arena, I can’t wait to visit again and see another game.

I don’t care if they don’t win a lot of games. I love these wolves. Sure, they’re still a work in progress, but one day they’re gonna be great (hopefully).
The 2011 – 2012 wolves roster contains one all-​star (Mr. Love), and two rookie of the year candidates (Sr. Rubio & Mr. Williams). They’re actually a really exciting squad to watch. If you go to see them, they might not win, but they’ll keep it interesting.

P & I are season ticket holders. Last year was the rookie year. I bought this for P’s wedding gift from me (what a great wife). The team isn’t the greatest but the staff at the Timberwolves has been AHMAZING… We were lucky to get Laura Meyer as our season ticket person and she has been very welcoming! She is one of the reasons we decided to renew the tickets (and upgrade our seats) plus P being a Twolves fan.
We know the team isn’t the greatest but hey at least there is an NBA team in Minneapolis. Show them some love (not just Kevin Love).

Is it basketball season yet? Nope. Did I see a T-​Wolves game? Nope. I did however have the pleasure of sitting down with Chris Wright (President of the T-​wolves) on Friday and talk with him about his business, the team etc… I was not alone and I can tell you that pretty much every person on my team was deep into a man-​crush withing the first couple of minutes. To hear Mr. Wright speak about his organization, to see the passion, and to feel the experience in every word was a real pleasure. Although I am from Dallas and a huge Mavericks fan I can tell you that when the T-​wolves play anyone but Dallas I will be rooting them on (especially when they play the Heat). As a Maverick season ticket holder I don’t think I have ever seen such passion from anyone on my local team (ok except maybe Mark Cuban the owner but that is a different kind of passion).

They get one star for their logo. Seasons of mediocrity built on medicority and KG goes to the Celtics and wins a title. Goes to show if they built a proper team around him when he was in his prime, the T’Wolves could have been NBA champions.

Some people really love basketball.
I have to admit that I’ve liked watching it occasionally, but it’s always the Serious OMG Sportsfans that drive me away from my super casual entertainment.
I feel very sorry for when the sports superstars get too old to play anymore and have to drop their colossal egos and find something else to do with their lives. It’s going to be a rough transition.
