[J@3]

I got bored, here's an attempt

[Lamrock]

Sir and Jae's are pretty damn cool! May have to make one my sig and the other my blog banner.

[kibaxx7]

To continue the streak of hilarious banners, it should be Sit's, and Jae's as your signature

[Martti.]

Jae's is really good. Make that your sig and Sit's can continue your tradition of crappy, MS Paint banners.

[Fresh8]

Sit's can continue your tradition of crappy, MS Paint banners.

What do you mean crappy? They're godly!

[Lamrock]

They are godly, but Jae's sig is fucking awesome. (hence why I'm using it) Sit, can you take this one and change the "Lamrock Association" text, to "A Wolves Blog"?

Will try to... I can't find the the font in Paint.

[Lamrock]

Use Cambria, since it looks kind of like the team's font.

Looks like my MS paint at work is older version. Will do it when I get home.

My season opener victory was a definitely fluke. This team is pretty damn bad! February can't come soon enough for Kevin Love and company! I'm thinking of waiving Pavlovic and signing a guy like Von Wafer as all of my swingmen are scrubs.

November 9, 2009 | Golden State Warriors (5-1) @ Minnesota Timberwolves (2-6) | Season Series: Warriors lead 1-0 | Team Stats
Warriors Outrun, Outgun Struggling Timberpups
Warriors 114, Timberwolves 102

Long story short: Rookie point guard Stephen Curry lit up his draft class counterpart Jonny Flynn, and Andris Biedrins had a huge game as the Warriors easily defeated us. The entire game was played at their up-tempo pace, and we never stood a chance. While we "only" lost by a dozen, this game was a blowout from start to finish.

The Rundown: The Warriors were in control from the get-go. Al Jefferson enforced his will in the first period, scoring 10 points on the Warriors interior defense (or lack thereof), but we couldn't seem to ever get stops, and ended up trailing 34-30. Al Jefferson sat down with early foul trouble, and Golden State proceeded to dominate us. Before our leading scorer came back in, we had fallen into a 15 point hole. It was clear that this was a different Warriors team than last year's disaster. The lead got as high as 20, until we finished the half on an 11-4 run.

Despite having twin towers in Kevin Love and Al Jefferson, we have been very erratic on the boards. This game was no exception, with the size-challenged Warriors dominating us in that category. The reason was Andris Biedrins. The Latvian seemed to grab every rebound in the period, and he and rookie Stephen Curry formed an unexpectedly potent offensive duo. The pair had 22 of their combined 47 points in the third quarter, and despite Corey Brewer actually making some shots, we fell into a twenty point hole, which we would never recover from.

We entered the fourth quarter trailing by 19. We knew that the Warriors were one of the few teams who could very easily blow a 19 point lead in 12 minutes, so we persisted. Surprisingly, both teams entered a scoring drought. Neither team made a field goal for the first five minutes of the final period. Our reserves played out the remainder of the game, and gave us our one winning quarter of the game (23-16), but we never stood a chance. The Warriors cruised to an easy 114-102, improving to a surprising 5-1. We fell to a completely expected 2-6.

Individual observations: Kevin Love grabbed only 4 rebounds, which is more than five under his average. We were -8 on the boards, and we really could have used those. He is a bonafide rebounder, but he and Al seem to both struggle on the boards when they're playing together this season. Speaking of which, Jefferson had a huge game, scoring 25 points on just 15 shot attempts, but grabbed just 6 rebounds himself. Our only other player scoring in double figures was Corey Brewer, who had 16 points. Stephen Curry dropped 27 on Jonny Flynn and Ramon Sessions, who combined for 14 points, 8 assists and 5 turnovers. Sasha Pavlovic was completely irrelevant, posting a trillion. The Warriors shot 64% over the first three quarters, and finished just under 60. While he shot over 50% ourselves, it is still unacceptable to be such a shitty defensive team.

Final thoughts: Our defense was bad. We were out-rebounded by a Don Nelson-coached team. Stephen Curry had a career night. We are still winless on the road. We have only one swingman who is competent enough to even be in the rotation of a playoff team. Thank God for the Yao-less Rockets' 1-7 start for keeping us out of last place in the Conference.

*No play of the game today because I forgot to save one


Ronnie Turiaf likes what he sees | Al Jeff just lost to a little boy


Meal Ticket's season-high 15 minutes of game (Nellie is smart) | Bad Porn made this an even uglier Wolves game than usual.

[J@3]

Jesus Biedrins obliterated you. Not sure what available SG/SF's you could pick up, Darius Miles is good defensively/athletically but can't shoot. There's bound to be some white guy you can camp outside the three point line.

[Lamrock]

Unfortunately, my no-trade policy prevents me from acquiring Silas's favorite player. Salim Stoudamire, my favorite free agent is available though.

[kibaxx7]

Liking this "blog" layout more than the previous one.

[Lamrock]

I'm glad. Its far quicker than Clip Show's as well.

[Valor]

Shit, you got completely raped by Biedrins...how did you get out rebounded when you have Jefferson and Love?

[The X]

Use Cambria, since it looks kind of like the team's font.

Looks like my MS paint at work is older version. Will do it when I get home.

Since it's a banner, you may also want to make it wider to fit

[Martti.]

C'mon, you can make an exception for Korver. Plus he's an expiring. And tough loss. Biedrins crapped all over you.

[Lamrock]

Record's getting ugly now. Looking a lot like a Sit or -hova dynasty. Was looking through the HOF recently for inspirations (ideas to rip off), and I noticed that 90% of them are pretty much ruined due to dead picture links. Mafia's record-setting dynasty is full of dead links, as are Marquis's Mavs, Seraph's Nets and Cocobee's dynasties among others. Sad to see such work go to waste.

Different Arena, Same Result, Blazers Defeat Wolves

November 11, 2009 - The Northwest Division leading Portland Trailblazers widened the gap between the last place Minnesota Timberwolves by defeating them for the second time in four days, 113-102. The Wolves started out hot, winning the first period 33-26, but the Blazers came back in the second half and held the home side to a season-low 13 third quarter points. Portland put them away in the fourth. Andre Miller had a season high 20 points, while Brandon Roy stayed close to their season averages. Jonny Flynn led the Wolves with 19 points.

26 32 22 33 113 (8-1) | Aldridge: 18/14/1 | Roy: 21/5/5 | Miller: 20/4/4
33 29 13 27 102 (2-7) | Jefferson: 17/10/0 | Flynn: 19/3/5, 7-10 | Love: 13/12/2

Wolves' Losing Streak Hits 4 After Close Loss Against Mavs

November 13, 2009 - The Timberwolves played some of their best, most inspired ball of their season against the visiting Dallas Mavericks. In the end however, the young team fell short in the clutch, and couldn't get the win against the Southwest leading Mavs. The game was extremely close throughout, with 15 lead changes and 8 ties. Dirk Nowitzki and Josh Howard had solid outings, but they were the only Mavericks scoring in double digits thanks to the home team holding them to 42% shooting. The game was tied at 87 with a minute remaining, but the Wolves missed 4 of their 5 shots, and suffered a tough 92-89 loss, falling to 2-8.

24 24 23 21 92 (7-2) | Nowitzki: 22/12/0 | Kidd: 7/9/10 | Howard: 17/5/3
27 21 19 22 89 (2-8) | Jefferson: 20/8/0 | Flynn: 15/3/7 | Love: 9/13/1

Tough losses espically against Golden State.

What do you mean?

My Stealth made the playoffs ok... we're pretty... mediocre. Although season 1 was definitely ugly...

[Lamrock]

Whoops. Meant X. If it were a Sit dynasty, the Lakers would be winning the title in the final season (as they did in your 05 Lakers one, ALIB 1 and ALIB 2)

Wasn't planned.

Especially surprising in ALIBII... and actually. Better than Pistons/Warriors winning it. Lakers were at least a believable winner!

I did that a lot of times Marquis's, Seraph's, Cocobee's, Mafia's, Micchy_boy's, Chaser's, a lot of them are gone

Tough losses.

[buzzy]

Yep, I noticed that with the pics myself while browsing through some old stories, quite sad actually.

You gotta get things rolling again. GL in the next games!
