In perhaps the final game for coach Kurt Rambis and guard Jonny Flynn, the Wolves closed with a 15th consecutive loss and the NBA's worst record.

T-wolves down by 5, 4th quarter. I go to the fridgidaire to grab a snack, and they loose by 19.

At least now the wolves will end up with the 4th or 5th pick in the draft. Somehow Miami, LA & NY will have their ping pong ball come up b4 the wolves. The NBA is the 5th sport now, NFL, MLB, Hockey, Soccer & then Basketball. Thats what david stern wanted, thats what he got. How can the wolves been around 20 years, and NEVER, EVER hat the 1st pick, or ever even moved up 1 spot in the lottery???? Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain putting the "secret" picks in the envelopes.... The nba is fixed, pro rasslin is real!!

Another mediocre team turns Target Center into a shooting gallery of wide open shots by the Timberwolves opposition.. Same story all year, same ending.. Where was the improvement from the so called youngest team in the NBA.. I watched this game for a while until I got sick and turned it off before half time.. As usual, a meaningless run with smoke and mirrors evaporated like the smoke being blown from Timberwolves management..The Rockets merely took the third quarter off and turned the game on when they wanted to.. A pathetic end to a pathetic season. I have been a Wolves fan since day one, and the way I see it is, there is one more year to do anything before all fan base is gone..

Free at last! Now for the rest of the year we just suffer through the Twinkies, Goofers and Viqueen until the Masters of Disaster, the Woofs and the Mild return to disappoint yet again.

Beasley got to "play his game." The Wolves lose by only 19. Flynn doesn't even show up. Randolph shot well but only had four rebounds. Beasley had seven rebounds. Only Tolliver, with 13 rebounds, gave a Love-like effort on the boards. Wait til next year.

The problem is not Rambis, it is the Kahn Man that is pulling the wool over Glen Taylor's eyes. You can run all the coaches in and out of the Target Center that you want, but as long as Kahn is calling the shots, the Wolves will continue to be the bottom feeders that they are. Kahn warned us it would take time but this team is going backwards under his watch. Unfortunately, Taylor is "just a basketball fan" that doesn't really know much about the game so he's falling for all Kahn's crap.

Knowing Khan, he will likely trade the entire roster for second round draft picks and use them to select nothing but point guards...

If there was an invisible curse it would be right here. No team has faired worse in the ping pong ball world than the Minnesota Timberpups. Yr after yr finishing last, 2nd to last, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th to last and never, ever, getting the little white all to land in our space. the system is broke, I give up cheering for any of this NBA thug junk. They are all democrats anyway.

Listening and watching Kahn's news conference made me want to go wash up to get rid of the slime oozing from the man. Yes he is trying to throw Rambis under the bus, accept no responsibility and take all the credit. From the way he answered the questions it is now very apparent that he and Rambis had some strong disagreements on personnel. Rambis wanted a veteran or two and Kahn failed to deliver and traded away the one defensive-minded player. I liked getting Randolph, but so late in the season it was hard to work him up to speed. Wolves had major injuries this year, Rambis was forced to play Flynn for evaluation and possible trade purposes, and Kahn failed to get needed vet/leader presence and somehow that's supposed to be Rambis's fault and no blame to Kahn.
