As futile as the Timberwolves have been during certain parts of their 20 years in these Twin Cities, they had never lost 11 consecutive home games before last night's loss to a horrible Washington (or as the mother of a childhood friend of mine would say, Warshington).
The last time the Wolves won at home was the Jan. 25 overtime victory over the Bulls. That was back when the Wolves were among the hottest teams in the NBA and back when this Minnesota team had both a healthy Al Jefferson and a lot of promise.
I do still think this team has promise and some good young parts. Al is tremendous, Randy Foye is a nice player, I like Kevin Love, Ryan Gomes has shown promise of late and the team has a boat-load of draft picks.
But last night was bad. Because if you can't guard the Washington Wizards -- a team that has very few true NBA players, has been horrible on the road and was finishing up a four-game road trip -- who can you guard?
That's it for now. Must do my real job. Will have more of a take later.
