I know no one cares about the NBA and for some reason I still do.. So I watched the NBA draft last night since it would be only 15 minutes before I knew what mistake that McHale would make this year. I watched all the people speculate but in the end they said there where 3 legit potential superstars in the draft and it was a no brainer for the wolves took take the third best option being OJ Mayo.. (Sorry if that Jay guy said one more time about how big the players wingspan was I was going to have to turn the channel are they flying or playing basketball) I was dumb founded or dumber founded than usual the Wolves took the best player available in the draft. Mchale ignored his instinct and ego to pick a player that had a legitimate chance to be a superstar and put people back in Target Center. I thought maybe Hoiberg had mad a difference I even diluted myself into thinking the wolves might leverage there 2 second rounders to pick some other bigs that where falling in the draft. No they did nothing they stayed with the picks and picked a player that will never ever play for the Twolves so that pick was a throw away.. Well I guess I could stomach that since they had another pick just a few minutes later.. They picked a guy that legitamely could be a spot player next year and his best attribute was defense on the perimeter wow that was nice.. I turned the TV off and had thoughts of how we could move McCants or Foye and maybe pickup some draft choices since now Mchale is not runnin the show. The twins have won 9 in a row.. The vikings made some great offseason moves and Twolves got a legit 3rd best player in the draft..
Shoots Well Sent me this

I woke up to a cloudy morning and I assumed it was raining so I skipped my run.. Maybe I should have had a clue that cloud was hovering over target center since I had not heard the news yet. McHale stepped up to the plate and proved that he is still running the show. The Wolves traded our one salary chip that we could play in Walker and do to NBA rules we had to send at least one white Marko guy to Memphis to try and balance out the fact the we got three white guys in return. So we got Mike Miller,Brian Cardinal, Jason Collins and oh yeah Kevin Love.. The wolves are asking Kevin Love to change his name to KLove to improve the teams street cred details of this are still pending.. Just a second I am trying the order my season tickets online I just can't get in it must be the servers are tied up with all the requests for tickets..
Ok.. Let just start with this. I am only 6'2 but I have a wingspan of a guy that is 6'5 and I can play defense better than any player that the wolves have on the roster. They said they drafted "size" even though Love is the same height as Mike Miller and might be shorter than Corey Brewer but Brewer has a better outside jumper but lacks the athleticism of Edi Nubi or whatever his name was. When the wolves draft or trade they should not be looking at filling in positions all there current players are simply not go to or stars in the NBA well what about Jefferson and his 7'0 wingspan well Big Al is a nice one dimensional player with great low post moves but can't defend Mark Madsen in practice. Speaking of which apparently Madsen is pretty angry that the wolves have drafted his replacement in Love.. You can't get enough big white team player's on the bench cheering for McCants 6'1 with a 6'6 wingspan hoisting three's when the wolves are down by 20.. We needed to get one guy that had a chance of being someone that other teams could not stop. We got none of that.. We don't even have a chance at that instead we have a proven bench cheerer and ugly white guy who shoot well who has had injury problems toss in a couple of punches from KG and you have another wally. Maybe next year.. Wait this year hasn't passed yet (like a kidney stone) I wonder if that guy the wolves got in the second has a chance.. No you have got to be kidding we sold that to Miami.. So that sums it up we have no new players to watch grow up next year.. I wonder if McCants is going get another tattoo this year maybe this time he will just avoid the neck and go right for the face and put WINGSPAN right across his forehead. The wolves are going to have the best chemistry of any team next year.. Being that there boss is never held accountable for his performance as a GM and you have a Coach who was allowed to keep his job after proving that he gets no defense out of his players and can't get anything out of his young perimeter players (Brewer,Tat's,Foye).
This move was made for money and money alone.. It is my opinion that the organization is trying to save cash and hope they can land a free agent next year. I hear that Wally might be out there for the right price..
On an old school
I am training for a marathon (insert fat joke here) so I am feeling pretty good about myself maybe even cocky .. I don't even feel like I am turning 40 this year.. So this guy on my team is talking with me the other day and asks me how old I am.. Feeling full of myself (insert fat joke here) I say how old you think I am.. He says in broken English 48 what I say shocked he then says 50 something.. So now my ego is popped much like my fatzique..
I have hope and a new found anger I think I might start blogging again..
I can't speak or write English well I have nothing to write about..
If only I where 6'7 and loved the Old tapes of a Hairy Arm Pitted freak then maybe I could get a fat contract to cheer for thugs in the NBA..
Great gig if you can get it..
Love to Hear comments..

Well said HeavyD -- good to see you angry again. I wasn't sold on Mayo, but it would have been nice to take a shot on him, trade McCants and/or Foye (bust).
I am happy with the Mike Miller acquisition and his scoring ability but this team won't be able to stop anyone.
After giving it some time I have to say that it appears to be a solid move for the team.. The hope being that OJ will turn out to be punk.. As the few things I have seen out there it is very realistic..
OJ Mayo is a punk. Check out his last dunk in high school:
