Ricky Rubio & Derrick Williams Make the Minnesota Timberwolves Worth Watching

Posted on 14 Apr, 2013, by in Basketball

It’s been a long time since the Minnesota Timberwolves last had a chance to make the postseason, but it doesn’t mean they can’t make the garbage time of the season a little bit more fun, and with Ricky Rubio back to the best of his ability, making Derrick Williams seem like someone Rick Adelman sorta missed out on this season, it does look like a team worthwhile watching despite the lack of playoff interest or chances.

Los Angeles Lakers – The 2013 NBA Playoffs Conspiracy

Posted on 2 Apr, 2013, by in Basketball

No one really believes and trusts the NBA officials, or the league itself, with David Stern sitting on top of the mountain. When you see the kind of calls the Los Angeles Lakers have been getting or getting away with in recent games as they attempt to make the final spot into the NBA playoffs, you can’t help to think that there’s some foul play involved, or at least wouldn’t be surprised to hear about something along those lines going on.

The first name on that list is Ricky Rubio, who played his part as giant slayer, denting a huge and possibly final blow to the Oklahoma City Thunder, still trying to win the number one seed in the Western Conference.

Los Angeles Lakers – Kobe Bryant Cheats His Way to Victory

Posted on 28 Mar, 2013, by in Basketball

Ricky Rubio was right to claim he was fouled by Kobe Bryant on the final play. The Los Angeles Lakers almost let another one get away from them with some more horrendous defending, but their star player, along with a dominant performance from the rest of the “stars” – Dwight Howard, Steve Nash and yes, even Pau Gasol, helped them escape with a win and a playoff ticket still in hand.

As the playoffs get further and further away from the Minnesota Timberwolves (been that way for a long time), all that’s left is to enjoy Ricky Rubio returning to himself as the most enjoyable to watch point guard in the NBA, while Derrick Williams proves he’s much more than just a high draft pick that warms up the bench.

Minnesota Timberwolves – The Never Ending Injury List

Posted on 22 Jan, 2013, by in Basketball

Some might say that regardless of their injuries, the Minnesota Timberwolves weren’t supposed to make the playoffs this season. That’s debatable, but what isn’t is their incredible line of injured players now and earlier, including Kevin Love, Ricky Rubio, Chase Budinger and Brandon Roy. More
