Minnesota Timberwolves and Ricky Rubio

Need a new thread with my other sent to Internet Hell. The Wolves actually look a basketball team this year and Rubio has lived to every bit of the hype so far. Bandwagon is open for all except for 182.

 

Wolves kicking ass again tonight

 

I like the Timberwolves quite a bit as well. They are no joke. I actually have Rubio in my fantasy basketball team. He doesn't do a great deal of scoring, though. So I'm not sure if I'll be keeping him.

 

His minutes will be limited this year, anywhere from 20-25 minutes a night. Probably won't be a fantasy starter until next year. Adelman has really turned this team around. We were really close to starting the year 5-0. They're going to have to learn how to pull out the close games if they have any hopes of making the playoffs.

 

I like Adelman.

 

I'm keeping him. He's gonna go down as the best 11th round fantasy draft pick ever. Guy produces when he gets minutes, and now he is starting to get minutes.

 

Holy shit.. KEVIN LOVE..

 

He probably got the 5th year he was wanting after that shot

 

Love signs 4 year extension

 

Saw this crazy stat

Last year: 7-45 vs West
This year: 7-4 vs West

 

8th seed. Book it...

 

Rubio is a baller. His passing gets him on sportscenter -- and he does lead the league in assists -- but his most important contributions might just be on the defensive end. He plays D (leads the league in steals)

If he learns to shoot, it will no longer be fair.

Also, he is on my fantasy team. Did I mention that? Did I also mention that I got him in the 11th round?

 

I got him in the 10th round. I want to one-up you so bad...but i can't.

 

11th round out of 12. My team name is "try for size" (copied from yahoo).

To be fair, the draft wasn't all rainbows and butterflies. I took Channing Frye in the 6th round. Ugh. I dropped him after two weeks.

 

surprised Chuck Hayes got drafted

 

As of now we're the 8th seed in the West

 

Rubio out with a torn acl.

 

Crushes my fantasy team.

 

Who knew Beasley was like this?
