Click here for the forum’s thread for tonight’s game against Cleveland
Game previews:
Approximately 13,000 tickets have been sold for the Timberwolves’ game tonight against the Cleveland Cavaliers and their NBA MVP contender, LeBron James. It’s their only appearance at Target Center this season…
Randy Wittman’s three-year Timberwolves coaching contract, estimated at $6 million, allowed him to opt out after this season had he not been fired.
Jim Souhan/Star Tribune on LeBron James:
McHale doesn’t think James needed to grow up much, not after displaying the torso of Adonis and the touch of Cousy even when in high school. “That guy is like a one-in-a-million type guy,” McHale said. “He’s special. … He was mature when he was 12.”
Now McHale gets to compare James with Bryant, who will have faced the Wolves within four days.
Said McHale, “Isn’t that special.”
The Timberwolves’ 118-103 loss at Sacramento on Monday night — their 10th consecutive defeat, two longer than any losing streak last season — demonstrated at least two things:
• Losing 20 of their first 24 games this season, which was supposed to be better than their 22-victory season a year ago, has sapped their will.
• They are so utterly dependent upon the scoring of Al Jefferson.
