"Right now, I’m just waiting my chance," Green said

Coach Randy Wittman said Green is caught in a numbers game at the big guard and small forward positions behind players such as Rashad McCants and Corey Brewer.
"Who are you going to stop developing, Rashad?"

Tyson Chandler of New Orleans and Al Jefferson of the Minnesota
Timberwolves are not quite in Howard’s class, but these two big guys
can rebound with anyone.

Wolves center Michael Doleac still is recovering from a bout with
the flu and was deactivated for Friday’s game. If there’s a good time
for him not to be feeling well, this is it: A three-game trip to
Phoenix, Denver and Golden State, three teams that Wolves coach Randy
Wittman calls "much more perimeter-oriented than anything they do in
the paint."

From Mad Dog’s diary:
One cardinal rule in our locker room is: Never wear gear from another
NBA team. When our new assistant trainer from Oklahoma had a Dallas
Mavericks screensaver on his cellphone, Kevin Garnett found it and
enforced the penalty. When I say penalty, Kevin made him sprint two
hundred yards from our team bus to a pickup truck parked in the
distance and then yell out, "I love the Timberwolves!" three times.
Pausing en route to the fragrance shelves to answer a question about
her love life, Lima said she was three months into a relationship with
an NBA player (the reported lucky one is Marko Jaric of the Minnesota

“I’m not married, but I want to be,” said the 26-year-old Lima, who
proclaimed her virginity to GQ in 2006, explaining that sex was for
after marriage.
