NBA season previews
30 Previews In 30 Days: The Minnesota Timberwolves
NBA training camps have begun; the season is rapidly approaching. Can you dig it? I knew that you could. And so we continue our previews: 30 of them in 30 days. Up next is a team that, due to its role in Boston's resurgence, is like the bizarro NBA champions: The Minnesota Timberwolves.
When last we saw them: Finished 22-60, fourth in Northwest Division and 13th overall in the West, sadly watching KG reach the promised land without them. More »

Jason Collins And The Golf Cart Of Doom
At least Timberwolves fans have great memories from the 2007-2008 season when their all-time greatest player won an NBA Championship in his first season with another team. Now their center can't avoid injury while driving around a golf course. More » -

Timberwolves Double Down On The Lottery
When you're the Minnesota Timberwolves, you have to lure in season ticket buyers by any means necessary. So they've come up with quite the novel plan: They're tying ticket prices to which lottery pick the team gets. More » -

The Armadillo Cowboy, Know Thy Name
The NBA Closer is written by our own Canadian weekend maestro J.E. Skeets. When he's not busy scouring the box scores or throwing out pork chops, he can be heard on The Basketball Jones daily podcast. Enjoy!
• Yee-Haw! I've said it before, but I'll say it again: Joe Johnson is the Armadillo Cowboy. Why? No reason. But please give me this, OK? Seriously. It's the only thing that keeps me going these days. I think I have the black lung, Pops. *cough* Minnesota held a one-point lead after Marko Jaric's layup with 2.2 seconds left, but the Armadillo Cowboy nailed an 18-footer at the buzzer to lift the Hawks — CAW! — to the 90-89 victory. "Two and a half seconds is a lot," Jaric said. "I'm upset right now. I was less than three seconds from hot hero sex." More »

Remember, Only YOU Can Make 'Toine An All-Star
Maj announced the Vote 'Toine campaign last weekend, but I felt it beared repeating: Antoine Walker needs to be an All-Star. I mean we're talking about 10.6 points per game here, people. 1.5 assists. Over 55% from the free-throw line! He's danced with Michael Jackson; starred in numerous cinematic classics; and once even penetrated a hippo. More » -

R.I.P. Eddie Griffin
We send our condolences to the family and friends of former Timberwolves guard Eddie Griffin, who was killed last Friday when his SUV hit a moving train. Word of his death in Houston only came out yesterday. More » -

In The Aftermath Of The Still-Uncompleted Garnett Trade
Though it's still not "official," it's pretty much a given now that Kevin Garnett is going to be a Celtic. This is an odd matter for us to wrap our minds around; we had sort of assumed Garnett would die a Timberwolf, no matter what he wanted. More » -

It's Becoming More Fun To Talk About The NBA Than To Watch It
So, to make this clear, in the last week or so, Kevin Garnett has alternately been going to the Bulls (definitely!), the Lakers (without question!) and now the Suns (put it in the books!). ESPN has all the different scenarios, which include the Suns giving up Shawn Marion or Amare Stoudemire, the Celtics giving up Al Jefferson or the No. 5 pick, or some such silliness. (Amazingly, Shawn Marion doesn't want to play for the Celtics. We're as stunned as you!)
We always enjoy such pre-draft trade talk, because it further illustrates that the most exciting part of the NBA these days involves salary caps, draft slots and superstar appeasement. Seriously, have they played a game since LeBron's explosion against the Pistons? Before that, it was just the Warriors-Mavericks, right?
Anyway, probably worth checking out Inside Hoops every 10 minutes for the next 48 hours. One never knows.
