I'm a Wolves' fan. I think the direction the team is taking this year is a lot better than the dead-end direction they had been taken.

Kevin Garnett is a great player and it's tough to see him go. But the Wolves, with their salaray cap situation at the time, had no chance to put complimentary pieces to go with Garnett to contend in the Western Conference.

This is the way to go. The Wolves may only win 15 games, but at least you can see the direction the team wants to go, as opposed to the treading water it did for the last three seasons with KG.

LeBron James was awesome, and the Timberwolves couldn't stop him.

We were at the game, and just when the wolves had clawed back to within two points midway through the fourth quarter, James decided to take the game into his own hands. He drove the lane at will and hit a couple of clutch three-point shots, ending the game with 45 points.

Adrian Peterson from the Vikings was there, and I'll bet he was impressed- with King James.

Overall, it was a fun experience. At least the wolves came back from their second and third quarter disasters to make a game of it. King James was undstoppable, and it didn't appear that he even broke a sweat.

Afterward my daughter suggested that the wolves change their name to the fishies because real wolves should be at the top of the food chain.

What's the point? I think we've all got the same idea by now that the Timberwolves are a pathetic team. Watching them play is painful, and keeping track of their record this season is like watching the movie Rocky, but only the part where he gets beaten to a bloody pulp.
