Timberwolves don't put up much of a fight while losing home opener

This text is replaced by the Flash movie. A very clear message was left on the chalkboard Friday night for Timberwolves players to see when they left the locker room after their preseason home opener against Toronto at Target Center.

get bill lambier to toughen them up on the defensive side.

Different toilet but same @#$%.

Eventhough it's pre-season & the Wolves are young, they got to play as if their lives are on the line. Actually, if they're paid millions to play this game, they should play like their heads are on the line. They need to play like if they lose, they'll get their heads chopped off. If I were paid millions to play this game, that's how I'd play.

Why did Corey Brewer take 14 shots. If real refs were in he wouldn't have gotten those free throws. Rambis needs to keep the ball from him.

What's a "Timberwolves"? They're a MN team?

How in the devil do you know how you'd play? If you're lost out there it's confidence that's the issue. Besides these guys will never be playing for their lives, the money only worsens the problem, it doesn't make them play harder.

[yeah sure]

After the Vikings' season is over all we have left to cheer are these guys and the Mild, er Wild. It's going to be a long long winter.
