The Daily feat. Blake, Mike & Derrick
Song: Atmosphere “Between The Lines”
Time to dance, Minnesota! The Timberwolves win again tonight, this time taking down the San Antonio Spurs.
The T-Pups have now won 6 of their last 9 games and sit just one game under .500. The Love-Rubio-Adelman era is off to a good start.

I think we can all get used to watching Rubio and Love play together
Jeez, what a finish. With the Gilbert Arenas post-game winner celebration too.
Could this be the new head coach of the Minnesota Timberwolves?
Portland Trail Blazers assistant coach Bernie Bickerstaff, for the moment, is the only known contender for the Minnesota Timberwolves’ coaching vacancy.
But a potential Wolves candidate with even more experience unexpectedly surfaced Tuesday when NBA coaching sources said that Don Nelson — the winningest coach in league history — is open to a return to the bench and intrigued by the talent on Minnesota’s roster.
@kevinlove notches his 52nd double-double in a row early in the 2nd Q.

#FreeKevinLove.
The revolution to free Mr.Love has started. It even has it’s own twitter account (@FreeKevinLove)
The people have spoken and it is clear we will not tolerate this injustice any longer. Kevin Love is one of the most talented Bigs in the NBA today and he plays on one of the least talented teams in the league. How talent-less are they? Darko Milicic, legendary NBA bust, is their starting center.
So, how then does a man drafted #5 overall, who played for Team USA, and averages 14 points and 13 rebounds a game thus far only manage to play 25 minutes per game?
Minnesota over the summer shipped off Al Jefferson to Utah for some table scraps. We all saw this as a brainless move yet we figured it was designed to give Kevin Love more playing time. There isn’t a single explanation that makes sense as to why Kevin gets no love from Kurt Rambis.
The LA Clippers are getting somewhat of a fresh start this year. New head coach, new GM, new star player (pleasedontgethurtpleasedontgethurtpleasedontgethurt) and new jerseys. (via @LAClippers Twitter feed)
Word is that the Cavs and T-wolves will unveil their new unis tomorrow. Stay tuned.

“Going to Minnesota would have just complicated my life a lot. It was a risk and I didn’t see it so clearly. My priority was the NBA and it was impossible for the Minnesota Timberwolves to pay my buyout clause, so I wanted to stay home.” -Ricky Rubio
In other words, it was impossible to find the right amount of endorsement deals to help with the buyout. Also, Rubio enjoys flippin’ the bird. Look at how subtle he is!

Yahoo’s rather excellent Ball Don’t Lie has a story about Ricky Rubio singing a deal with Barcelona. However by the end of the story, there’s an update/footnote for the Almighty Adrian Wojnarowski stating that there’s no deal in place.
So, T’Wolves fan, take it with a grain of salt. At least you guys have Jonny Flynn and his name is very fun to yell! Jonny Flynn!!!!
