Historical Moments:
1989/90: Nearly 30 years after the Lakers left for Los Angeles the NBA returned to Minnesota with an expansion team known as the Timberwolves. Minnesota which was home of two different ABA teams had also gone 20 years without professional basketball. The T-Wolves made their debut on November 3rd losing to the Seattle Supersonics on the road 106-94. Five days later they would make their home debut at the Metrodome losing to the Chicago Bulls 96-84. Just two nights later the Wolves would finally get their first win beating the Philadelphia 76ers at home 125-118 on November 10th. The Timberwolves would go on to finish with a 22-60 record while finishing in 6th place in the Midwestern Division, as Tony Campbell led the team with 23.2 ppg. Playing in the cavernous Metrodome the expansion Timberwolves would draw over one million fans including the third largest crowd in NBA history at 49,551 on April 17th that saw the Timberwolves lose to the Denver Nuggets 99-88 in the final home game of the season.
1990/91: The Timberwolves started the season in spectacular fashion by beating the Dallas Mavericks 98-85 before a sold out crowd of 19,006 at the Target Center. The T-Wolves would continue to struggle in their second season. However, they would finish the season strong posting a 7-5 record in April for their first winning month in franchise history to finish their second season in fifth place with a 29-53 record.
1991/92: The Timberwolves would begin their season amidst a blizzard as a one day record of 24 inches fell as the Wolves lost to the Utah Jazz on opening night 112-97. The snow would be an omen as the T-Wolves lost nine of their first ten games on the way to finishing dead last with a NBA worse record of 15-67, as no Timberwolves averaged better then 16.8 ppg. After the season the Wolves would come up short again as they lost out an opportunity to select LSU star, Shaquille O'Neal by not getting the top sport in the draft lottery.
1992/93: After losing out on Shaquille O'Neal the Timberwolves turned to Christian Laettner who led Duke University to two straight National Titles including a Final Four played in Minneapolis, with the third overall pick. Laettner would have a solid rookie season averaging 18.2 ppg and 8.7 rebounds per game. However, the T-Wolves would continue to struggle as they finished in fifth place with a terrible record of 19-63.
1993/94: Minnesota host All-Star Weekend as Timberwolves rookie Isaiah Rider steals the show winning the Slam Dunk contest with a show-stopping dunk that brought the Target Center to their feet. Rider would have a solid rookie season finishing second on the team in scoring with 16.6 ppg. However, the Timberwolves would continue to struggle finishing in fifth place with a terrible 20-62 record. Following the season the Timberwolves are nearly sold to a group of investors that would have moved the team to New Orleans, despite stellar attendance at the Target Center. However, the NBA Board of Governors vetoed the sale, and new Owner Glen Taylor promised to keep the team in Minneapolis.
1994/95: The Timberwolves continue to struggle finishing in last place with a miserable record of 21-61 as they set a dubious record in becoming the first team to ever lose 60 or more games in four straight seasons. At season's end, former Boston Celtics star Kevin McHale took over as the Timberwolves basketball operations, replacing retiring General Manager Jack McCloskey. McHale got to work quickly, as he made a bold selection in the Draft, taking high school star Kevin Garnett with the fifth overall pick.
1995/96: With the selection of Kevin Garnett changes were abound for the Timberwolves as Christian Laettner is traded along with Sean Rooks to the Atlanta Hawks for Andrew Lang and Spud Webb. The trade paved the way for rookie Kevin Garnett to become the go to player inside. Garnett would go on to average 10.4 ppg in his rookie season as the T-Wolves finished in fifth place with a 26-56 record.
1996/97: The Timberwolves enter the season with a new look and a new attitude as they replace their tame looking logo with a more ferocious looking Timberwolf. In addition the T-Wolves would find another star player in the draft as they select Stephon Marbury the fourth overall pick. The addition of Mrarbury would have a positive effect on the entire team, as Kevin Garnett and Tom Gugliotta became the first Wolves to be selected to the All-Star team. Guglotta and Garnett would lead the Timberwolves in scoring as the team made the playoffs for the firs time in franchise history with a record of 40-42. However, in the playoffs the Timberwolves would make a quick exit as they are swept by the Houston Rockets in three straight games.
1997/98: Kevin Garnett and Stephon Marbury continue to establish themselves as two of the brightest rising stars in the NBA as Garnett averages 18.5 ppg while pulling down 9.6 rebounds per game, while Marbury averages 17.7 ppg, and dishes out 8.6 assists per game. Despite losing leading scorer Tom Gugliotta for half the season the Timberwolves would go on to post their first winning season at 45-37 making the playoffs for the second straight season. After dropping Game 1 on the road to the Seattle Supersonics in the playoffs the Timberwolves would earn their first postseason win in Game 2 winning in Seattle 98-93. As the series shifted to Minnesota the Timberwolves would have an opportunity to pull of the upset as they won Game 3 by a score of 98-90. However, the Wolves would drop Game 4 at home as the Sonics went on to win the series in five games.
1998/99: A year after signing Kevin Garnett to an unprecedented six year $126 million contract, the Timberwolves are used as the poster child if irresponsible spending as the NBA endures a four month lockout that wipes out the season. With an already cap heavy payroll the Wolves are forced to let Tom Gugliotta walk away and trade Stephon Marbury fearing both would seek similar deals to Garnett. In the three team midseason deal that sent Marbury to the New Jersey Nets the T-Wolves would get Terrell Brandon in return. Despite the instability the Wolves would make the playoffs for the third straight season by finishing in fourth place with a 25-25 record. In the playoffs the Timberwolves would make another quick exit as they are beaten by the San Antonio Spurs in four games.
1999/00: Led by Kevin Garnett who averages 22.9 ppg and 11.8 rebounds per game the Timberwolves enjoy their first 50-win season finishing in third place with a solid record of 50-32, as rookie Wally Szczerbiak has a solid season finishing third on the team in scoring with 11.6 ppg. However, in the playoffs the Wolves would fall in the first round again losing to the Portland Trailblazers in four games.
2000/01: The Timberwolves endure a turbulent off season as Guard Malik Sealy is tragically killed in a car accident in the summer, and the free agent deal signed by Joe Smith is voided by the NBA, who rules the Timberwolves proper procedure in signing the contract, while stripping the T-Wolves of five draft picks and fined $3.5 million. Despite the trouble the Wolves would make the playoffs for the fifth straight season with a 47-35 record. However, in the playoffs the T-Wolves would be eliminated in the first round again by the San Antonio Spurs in four games.
2001/02: A year after they were slapped by the NBA the Timberwolves are able to sign Forward Joe Smith who averages 10.7 ppg as Kevin Garnett continues to establish himself as one of the top players in the NBA with 21. ppg and 12.1 rpg, as the T-Wolves finish in third place with a 50-32 record. However, in the playoffs the Timberwolves would have another let down as they are swept by the Dallas Mavericks in three straight games.
2002/03: Kevin Garnett has his finest season yet as he finishes second in MVP voting while averaging a solid 23.0 ppg and 13.4 rebounds per game as the Timberwolves finish in third place with a solid 51-31 record. With home court advantage for the first time facing the three time defending champion Los Angeles Lakers. After being blown out at home in Game 1 the Timberwolves had a chance to take a 3-1 series lead as they led heading into the 4th quarter of Game 4 in Los Angeles. However, the Lakers would come back to win the game on the way to winning the series in six games, as the Timberwolves were eliminated in the first round for the seventh straight year.
2003/04: Hoping to end their seven years of bad luck in the playoffs the Timberwolves strengthened their team by acquiring Latrell Sprewell, Sam Cassell, and Michael Olowokandi. However incorporating the new Wolves into the lineup was difficult at first as the Wolves only managed a 9-8 record through the end of November. In December the Wolves began to gel losing just twice as they became serious contenders for the Midwest Division Title. With Garnett putting up a double-double almost every night the Timberwolves were among the best team's in the NBA all year as KG captured his first MVP by 24.2 points and 13.9 rebounds per game, as the Timberwolves captured the best overall record in the Western Conference with a franchise best 58-24 record. However through success would be measured by their performance in the playoffs. After seven years of tough playoff opponents the T-Wolves finally had home court in a series and took advantage winning the first 2 games against the Denver Nuggets at home. After dropping Game 3 on the road the Timberwolves took a 3-1 series lead by holding off a last minute run by Nuggets for an 84-82 win. The T-Wolves would finally reach the second round as they would go on to close the series in 5 games with a 102-91 victory. Things would get tougher in the second Round as the Wolves faced the Sacramento Kings a tested playoff team seeking to finally make the Finals. The Timberwolves would look shaky in Game 1 as the Kings won in Minnesota 104-98. After rebounding to take Game 2 the Wolves relied on their MVP to retake control of the series as Kevin Garnett scored 15 points in the 4th Quarter as the Wolves overcame a 10-point deficit beginning the final period to force overtime where Garnett's shot with 10.8 seconds left was the difference in a 114-1113 victory. After losing Game 4 the series returned to Minnesota where the Wolves beat the Kings again 86-74. However after a poor performance in Game 6 the T-Wolves would find themselves facing their first ever 7th game. As fate would happen it fell on Kevin Garnett's 28th birthday. Garnett again and again showed why he was the league's MVP scoring a game high 32 points while 21 boards as the Timberwolves advanced to the Western Conference Finals with a 83-80 victory. In the Western Conference Finals the Timberwolves faced off against the team that once called the Minneapolis home the Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers were supposed to win from the start f the season as with four sure things Hall of Famers they were the storyline of the entire season. In Game 1 the Lakers drew first blood with a 97-89 victory. After rebounding to take Game 2 the Wolves needed to retake control of the season by winning in Los Angeles. However the Lakers would take both games, leaving the Wolves down three games to one. The Wolves would not go down without a fight as they took Game 5 at home as Garnett scored 30 points for the first time in the series. However in the end the Lakers proved too strong and too playoff tested as they eliminated the Wolves in Game 6 with a 96-90 victory.
2004/05: Coming off a trip to the Western Conference Finals, great things were expected for the Timberwolves but there were problems right from the start as Latrell Sprewell and Sam Cassell both expressed unhappiness about their contract status. Each would carry that unhappiness on the court and would underachieve all season as both had major fall offs from the year before as the Wolves never quite were able to get anything going. Hovering around .500 all season the Timberwolves seemed to be in a season long fog as they started January by losing seven of eight games. The struggles would continue into February when Coach Flip Saunders was fired as a GM Kevin McHale stepped in to try to salvage the season. There would be no salvaging the season as the Timberwolves continued their mediocre play all season missing the playoffs for the first time since 1996 as they finished in third place in the Northwest Division with a disappointing 44-38 record.
2005/06: Coming off a disappointing season the Timberwolves had a new coach in Dwane Casey, and some new players as Marko Jaric was acquired from the Los Angeles Clippers in a trade for Sam Cassell. Early on the new pieces seemed to fit well as the T-Wolves got off to a solid start winning 12 of their first 18 games. However, it would not last as the Timberwolves won just three of their next 14 games. Looking to make more changes the Wolves would deal Wally Szczerbiak, Dwayne Jones and Michael Olowokandi, along with a future first-round draft pick to the Boston Celtics for Ricky Davis, Mark Blount, Justin Reed, Marcus Banks, and two second round draft picks on January 26th. After the deal the Wolves would not play any better as they posted a terrible 3-11 record in February as their playoffs hopes faded away fast, as they went on to post a terrible record of 33-49, finishing in fourth place in the Northwest Division while missing the playoffs for the second straight season.
2006/07: Kevin Garnett continued to be a lone wolf, as the Timberwolves did not have much talent around him. One deal that did not work out was the draft day trade with the Portland Trail Blazers, as they swapped picks sending Brandon Roy to Portland in exchange for Randy Foye. While Foye struggled in his rookie season, Roy would excel winning the NBA Rookie of the Year. Kevin Garnett would continue to express his dissatisfaction with the Wolves, as he was having another solid season but it was going unrewarded, as the team struggled with mediocrity, as every strong stretch was met with an equal or greater losing streak as they held a 20-20 record when Coach Dwane Casey was fired and replaced with Randy Wittman. The coaching change would not work out was Timberwolves played worse under their new coach, as they ended the season with a terrible 32-50, missing the playoffs for the third straight season. Following the season the Timberwolves, would follow threw on a promise, trading Kevin Garnett the team's franchise player to the Boston Celtics for Al Jefferson, Theo Ratliff, Gerald Green, Sebastian Telfair, Ryan Gomes, two first-round draft picks, and cash considerations. This is the largest combination of players and picks ever traded for a single player in NBA history. The trade of KG was not the only deal the T-Wolves would make in the off-season, as Mike James and Justin Reed were shipped to the Houston Rockets for Juwan Howard, who would be released before playing a single game in Minnesota. They would also trade Ricky Davis and Mark Blount to the Miami Heat in exchange for the Heat's Antoine Walker, Michael Doleac, Wayne Simien, and a draft pick, as the General Manager Kevin McHale completely tore down the team to start from scratch.
2007/08: The key player the Timberwolves received in return from the Boston Celtics in the Kevin Garnett trade would be Al Jefferson, who would do his best to fill the big shoes left by KG, who for dozen years had been the T-Wolves franchise player. However, although Jefferson had a successful first season in Minnesota with 21 ppg and 11.2 rebounds per game the void left by Garnett was too hard for the Timberwolves to overcome, as they got off to a terrible start with a 5-34 record in their first 39 games. In the second half the Timberwolves would play slightly more competitive as they actually escaped last place, as they posted a record of 22-60 while finishing in fourth place in the Northwest Division.
2008/09: Al Jefferson continued to be the lone bright spot on an otherwise bleak team in Minnesota, as the Timberwolves continued to struggle, losing 15 of their first 19 games, when Coach Randy Whitman was fired. Replacing Whitman would be the man who hired him, as Kevin McHale was stripped of his General Manager duties and named head coach on December 8th. With McHale on the bench the Timberwolves continued to struggle as they lost 13 straight games and sat with an awful 4-23 record on Christmas. A day after Christmas the Wolves ended their losing streak with a solid 120-107 win over the New York Knicks on the road. After entering the New Year with a 6-25 record, the Wolves started January on a strong note, winning their first five games in 2009, as they won 10 of 12 games. However, it would not last as the Timberwolves again went into a prolonged slump, as Al Jefferson suffered a season ended knee injury on February 8th as the Wolves went on to lose 18 of 20 games, which included an 11 game losing streak. The Wolves would go on to finish the season with a miserable 24-58 record that saw them land in fourth place in the Northwest Division. Following the season, Kevin McHale is dismissed as the Timberwolves shake up is completed with Kurt Rambis being named as the team's new coach.
2009/10: The Kurt Rambis era started with a dramtic home win, as the Timberwolves rallied to beat the New Jersey Nets 95-93 at the Target Center, with Johnny Flynn scoring 13 points in the 4th quarter, as Damien Wilkins tip at the buzzer was the game winner. The dramatic season opening win, which featured a 19 point comeback, would be the only win for a while as the Wolves lost their next 15 games; coincidently the Nets would lose their first 18 games. The Timberwolves meanwhile were not much better, losing 21 of their first 24 games. The Wolves would not win two straight games until Christmas, when they beat the Nets in a rematch on the road December 23rd, and beat the reeling Washington Wizards at home the day after Christmas to sit at 7-24. The losing ways would continue as the Christmas Lights came down as the T-Wolves dropped 14 of 16 games. As January turned into February the Wolves showed some life at last with a four game winning streak, including a 117-108 road win over the Dallas Mavericks. That would be the last life the Timberwolves would show, as they would only win two of their final 30 games, posting a miserable 15-67 record that matched the worst mark in franchise history.
2010/11: Coming off a miserable 15-67 season, not much was expected from the Timberwolves as they still continued to search for a new identity after the Kevin Garnett trade. Al Jefferson, the best player the Wolves received back in the deal was traded during the off-season to the Utah Jazz for Kosta Koufos and a draft pick. It was a busy off-season for the Timberwolves, as they acquired Michael Beasley from the Miami Heat, for two second round picks, while Martell Webster was picked up from the Portland Trail Blazers for the draft rights to Luke Babbitt and Ryan Gomes. In the Free Agent market the Wolves picked up Luke Ridnour and Anthony Tolliver. The Wolves would start the season with frustrating 117-116 loss at home to the Sacramento Kings. Two days later with Michael Beasley leading the way the Wolves would earn their first win against the Milwaukee Bucks. There would be few wins in November, but the month would be highlighted by great individual performances as Michael Beasley scored 42 points in a November 10th win against the Kings on the road, while Kevin Love scored 31 points with 31 rebounds, setting a new franchise record in a 112-103 win at home over the New York Knicks on November 12th. It marked the first 30-30 game in the NBA in 28 years. Love would have a breakout season for the Timberwolves, posting a double-double in 53 straight games, which was the longest streak since the ABA-NBA merger in 1976. Kevin Love in becoming the face of the franchise the Timberwolves have been looking for, became an All-Star for the first time, while being named the NBA's Most Improved Player. Love, would end the season with 20.8 points per game and a NBA best 15.2 rebounds per game, for the first 20-15 season since Moses Malone in 1983. Despite the stellar season from Kevin Love, the Timberwolves continued to be one of the worst teams in the NBA as they went on to finish with the worst record in the NBA at 17-65. Following the season the Timberwolves would fire Coach Kurt Rambis and replace him with Rick Adelman.
2011/12: New Coach Rick Adelman had helped turn teams around in the past as he had led the Portland Trailblazers to two NBAA Finals in the 90's, while helping to make the Sacramento Kings an elite team in the 2000's. With Kevin Love established as a NBA All-Star, the Wolves began to fill in some pieces as they signed Guard J.J. Barea, who was a key part of leading the Dallas Mavericks to a NBA Championship. The Timberwolves also reached a deal with 2009 draft pick Ricky Rubio, who had previously, chose to stay in Spain. Despite the additions, the Timberwolves struggled early, losing their first three games as they started the season by losing seven of their first ten games. However, in the second half of January the Wolves began to turn things around, as they closed in on .500, ending the month with a record of 10-11. One of the reasons for the Timberwolves turnaround as Ricky Rubio who was in the early Rookie of the Year conversation, averaging 10.6 ppg and a team high 8.2 assists per game. The Wolves continued to play well into March, as Kevin Love had another strong season posting a team best 26 ppg, while also leading the team with 13.3 rebounds per game. Love was also one of the league's best long distance shooters, as he won the Three Point Contest on All-Star Weekend in Orlando. The Timberwolves were above .500 and in the thick of the playoff race until March 16th, when Ricky Rubio suffered a season ending knee injury. After the loss of Rubio, the Wolves could not get back on track as they struggled the rest of the way, losing 13 of their 14 games finishing the season with a record of 26-40.
2012/13: The Timberwolves suffered an early setback when Kevin Love suffered a fractured hand while working out in the pre-season. Originally expected to miss six weeks, Love was able to get back into action on November 21st. Without Love, the Wolves played well early, winning five of their first seven games. The Timberwolves got an early boost from Brandon Roy, who was attempting a comeback from a series of knee injuries. However, Roy's return lasted just five games before his knees gave out again. When Kevin Love returned he had trouble finding his scoring touch, shooting just 21.7% from the field as the Timberwolves threaded water for the first two months, holding a 14-13 record at the end of December. During a 101-97 win over the Denver Nuggets on January 3rd, Kevin Love re-injured his shooting hand. The injury to Love would send the Timberwolves in to a tailspin, as they posted a 5-23 record over the next two months without their marquee player. Kevin Love would return in March, but they season would be lost as the Timberwolves posted a disappointing record of 31-51, missing the playoffs for the ninth straight season. One bright spot for the Timberwolves was the play of Nikola Pekovic, who had a breakout season with 16.3 points per game and 8.8 rebounds per game.
2013/14: With Kevin Love leading the way, the Timberwolves got off to a terrific start, winning five of their first seven games. However, early on the future of Kevin Love in Minnesota soon began to cloud the Timberwolves season as he refused to commit to a long term deal and expressed a desire to pursue free agency and possibly play on the West Coast. Part of Love's frustration was the lack of talent around him on the rest of the team, as the Wolves again were stuck at .500 at 9-9 at the end of November. A planned game in Mexico City would go up in smoke for the Timberwolves and San Antonio Spurs on December 4th as the air quality was too poor to play. The Wolves would surf .500 over the next two months, which would have been fine in the East, but had them on the outside looking in the Western Conference. The Timberwolves would remain at or near .500 the entire season and ended the year at 40-42, missing the playoffs for a tenth straight season. Following the season Coach Rick Adelman would announce his retirement, as General Manager Flip Saunders became the Wolves new coach assuming a role he held during the Timberwolves most successful period. However, despite the return of Saunders to the bench the Timberwolves were forced to part ways with Kevin Love as the threat of losing him to free agency outweighed his value on the court. The Wolves would send Love to the Cleveland Cavaliers in a three team deal that also involved the Philadelphia 76ers. The Timberwolves would get Andrew Wiggins and Anthony Bennett the first overall picks in 2013 and 2014 in return. In his final season in Minnesota, Kevin Love has another All-Star season leading the team with 26.1 points and 12.5 rebounds per game.
2014/15: It was a time for new beginnings and old familiar faces for the Minnesota Timberwolves as President of Basketball Operations Flip Saunders took over the coaching duties. Saunders had been the coach during the Timberwolves best seasons, taking them to the Western Conference Finals in 2004. The Wolves though had not been to the playoffs since, and frustration was mounting. The mounting frustration included Kevin Love a pending free agent who requested a trade to a contender. Kevin Love would eventually be sent to the Cleveland Cavaliers as part of a multi-team blockbuster also involving the Philadelphia 76ers. In return the Timberwolves got #1 overall pick Andrew Wiggings, Anthony Bennett who was the first pick in 2013 along with Thaddeus Young, with the Sixers receiving Alexey Shved, Luc Mbah a Moute, and a 2015 first-round pick as part of the deal. After starting the season with a 105-101 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, the Timberwolves beat the Detroit Pistons 97-91 in their home opener. Success did not follow for Minnesota, as the Wolves quickly found themselves among the worst teams in the NBA. Between November 30th and January 13th the Timberwolves won just one of 22 games, with an extended 15 game losing streak along the way. While the Timberwolves took their lumps a pair of 19 year old rookies provided enough excitement to capture the fans attention. Andrew Wiggins acquired in the Love trade, showed just why he was the number one overall pick, with 16.9 points and 4.6 rebounds per game on the way to winning Rookie of the Year. While high flying Zach Levine provided excitement, with 10.1 points per game as he won the Slam Dunk Contest at the All-Star Weekend in Brooklyn. Looking for veteran leadership the Timberwolves, again turned to the past acquiring Kevin Garnett from the Brooklyn Nets for Thaddeus Young. KG received a thunderous ovation upon his return to Minnesota, scoring five points as the Wolves beat the Washington Wizards 97-77 at Target Center. However, due to injuries Garnett would play just five games, but by signing a two year deal the former MVP who helped bring legitimacy to the Timberwolves 20 years earlier made a commitment to be a mentor to the "Bounce Brothers Wiggins and Levine. The Timberwolves would end the season on a sour note, losing their last 12 games which had them finish with the worst record in the NBA at 16-66. The losing streak did have a ray of sunshine as it enabled Minnesota to win the draft lottery and select Karl Anthony-Towns a seven foot center out of Kentucky, who was himself just 19-years old.
2015/16: As the young Minnesota Timberwolves prepared for the season, tragic news would strike them at their very heart, as Coach Flip Saunders lost his battle with cancer. On August 11th Saunders announced he had been diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma. A month later Owner Glen Taylor announced Sam Mitchell would coach the team as Saunders had complications during treatment. As the start of the season approached, Flip Saunders died at the age of 60 on October 25th. The news hit Kevin Garnett especially hard. Garnett was entering his final season in the NBA as he looked to tutors 2015 Rookie of the Year Andrew Wiggins and 2016 number one overall pick Karl-Anthony Towns. It would not take long for Towns to establish himself as one of the league's top big men, as he scored 14 points with 12 boards as the Timberwolves opened the season with a 112-111 road win against the Los Angeles Lakers. Karl-Anthony Towns would go on to average a double-double with 18.3 points and 10.5 rebounds per game as he was the unanimous choice for Rookie of the Year. In marked the first time in over 40 years a team had back-to-back Rookie of the Year award winners in the NBA. The Timberwolves began to show promise with a solid core group young talented players, with a record four players under the age of 20, as Wiggins and Towns were joined by Zach LaVine and Tyus Jones. Andrew Wiggins was the Timberwolves leading scorer with 20.7 ppg, while LaVine won the Slam Dunk Contest for a second straight season and 14.0 points per game. Tyrus Jones was more of a project and split the season between Minnesota and the D-League. On the side of the spectrum was 40-year old Kevin Garnett in his 21st season, provided veteran leadership as he managed just 3.2 points per game. The young Wolves had their growing pains as they managed a record of 29-53, which still was a significant improvement from the previous year's 16-66 record. After the season the Timberwolves would announce Tom Thibodeau as their new coach.
2016/17: Hoping to end their long playoff drought, the Minnesota Timberwolves hired Tom Thibodeau to be their new coach. Thibodeau a former Coach of the Year is one of the most highly respected game managers in the NBA. The Timberwolves had a young talented team with back-to-back Rookie of the Year winners, but still lacked the pieces around Andre Wiggins and Karl-Anthony Towns to be a contender as they got off to a 5-13 start. Minnesota showed signs of life in December and January but could never get back into playoff contention. However, a four-game losing streak at the start of February erased any lingering hope the T-Wolves may have had. The Timberwolves would go on to finish the season with a record of 31-51. It was the 13th straight season the Timberwolves missed the playoffs the second longest drought in NBA history.

Wearing the ugly quiff hairstyles could be like your very first option in almost any season associated with 2012. I understand that there are a number of you that might believe that the combination "curly & quiff " is kind of weird. Guy, don't feel that method! In fact, individuals curly quiffs tend to be combining between your stylishness and elegance, the glamour. I'm able to guess that method many of you'd opt for putting them on in different occasions and events especially the official ones. There's just thing you need to know prior to doing so. It's far better to go for getting possibly the free or moderate curls compared to tight types, if you're likely to sport all of them. If you don't prefer to wear the actual curly quiffs, then you definitely still have additional hairstyles before you to pick from as well as wear for example; curly cleaner top hair styles. They are recognized by their own fashionable appear. Besides they're not really limiting your choices concerning the waves such as the very first ones. Therefore, you can activity tight, moderate or free curly cleaner tops. Absolutely nothing can stop you! Also, this season you can go for sporting the actual curly below cut hair styles which have kind of wild, however stylish as well as sexy appears. The same such as the curly cleaner tops, these people accept all of the curls' types.
Can one ask a question? Would you currently activity any sort of the actual layered hair cuts? If yes, after that i've to tell you that you could absolutely snuggle your split hair but still be dealing with the latest locks trends associated with 2012. Additionally, you can go for sporting the actual afro hairstyles this season which come within their usual younger and stylish appear. I think nothing's much more stylish compared to them to determine our talk to. Before stating goodbyes, i have to emphasize some small print. The first stage is to tell you just how most of the final mentioned ugly hairstyles are compatible with different locks lengths in the short towards the long. The 2nd one is in order to remind a person with the using the proper as well as appropriate hairstyling products to maintain your curls, whatever the haircuts, within their place as well as tidy. The 3rd and 4g iphone is to usually style your own curly hair in a manner that is suitable for your face form, hair type as well as personality too. Don't forget to create it in line with the occasion or even place you're likely to. If it's official, keep your waves tidy as well as clean. In the event that it's casual, allow them to speak for the carefreeness and stylishness! At the conclusion, nothing to let you know but want you the the majority of stylish, trendy and swaying curly hair actually!

Colorado style rehearsal dinner: Jess + TJ
What can we say about the uber creative Jess + TJ that can't be said through these stunning images by Gia Canali? Oh, you know – just that their wedding was simply epic. Yesterday we featured the first stage of their weekend-long wedding with their picnic-style, square dancing welcoming hoedown, and today we're continuing the festivities with their rehearsal dinner – a classy affair filled with DIY beauties.
This may very well be one of our favorite DIY place card ideas. "We went to the local rock quarry and picked up a container of roughly 300 stones for $9. We brought them home, washed them off and sprayed them with a clear shellac. Then my aunt, with gorgeous handwriting, wrote all the names and table numbers. The final product ended up being a simple, cheap, nature chic place card! People enjoyed searching for their name in the giant heart we had set up outside the tent!"
"All of the signs, including the table numbers at our rehearsal dinner, were crafted by TJ and I. These mini table numbers and stumps were pretty easy to make and came out cute. We found a down tree in a neighbors yard so we didn't have to cut anything down, TJ taught me how to use the chainsaw and we sliced each round out (no two were exactly the same width or size- but we ended up using the wider ones for the double digits), then we sanded them down to get rid of any splinter action. Initially the idea was to burn everything into the wood (which I had read on some other blogs), but we found that to be way too time consuming when we started out so we went the easier route. TJ used a dremmel with a rotary bit to carve in the numbers, and as a finishing touch I used brown paint to paint in the numbers. We then used all the leftover stumps for raisers under the vases + candles."
You want this wedding to keep going, yes? We know how you feel. Fortunately for all of us, there's an entire ceremony + reception that we have yet to touch. Stay tuned for those goodies coming up tomorrow!

I must express some appreciation to you for bailing me out of this particular matter. As a result of looking out through the the net and finding things that were not beneficial, I assumed my life was gone. Existing without the presence of solutions to the problems you've resolved by way of your main article is a critical case, as well as those that might have in a negative way affected my entire career if I had not discovered the website. That understanding and kindness in maneuvering all areas was very useful. I'm not sure what I would have done if I hadn't discovered such a thing like this. I am able to at this point look forward to my future. Thank you so much for this reliable and effective help. I will not be reluctant to propose your site to any person who needs counselling about this subject matter.

Sometimes I feel really stupid. I have repeat the same typos over and over and over again.
Take "tapas" for example — I type "tappas" instead. Consistently.
So here's my fix for these kind of situations:
I add a TextExpander snippet that replaces my typo with the proper spelling.
I am not certain if this is the best way of doing it — but this is the first solution that works for me..

The problem with the X-Men I think is less the fact that they haven't introduced POC and more that none of them have been allowed to became main characters in the narrative. Synch had loads of potential, but Ellis decided to get rid of him to up the stakes of his run (I have never been a fun of his x-runs, especially his treatment of poc in his stories). I am a fan of the New Mutants, for example, because all of the characters were allowed to develop equally and have equal screen time.

That it will be a team in a comic book being published?
While I guess I can see wanting more of certain things that are not happening in these titles, people(as far as I can tell) couldn't tell me the first thing about this title past "Title's Name"/"Title's Writer"/"Title's Artist"/"Title's Main Characters".
Accepting that actual reality, the idea that you could just plug character "X"/"Y"/"Z" into those slots seems a little iffy. Could the title wind up being one where you could have? Sure. Does anyone know that in the here and now? Heck no.
Half of the guesses for who would be in the title were no where near correct. Never mind folks having some sort of an "In" on what could or could not be swapped out of it without consequence.
There is already a post/thread on male X-Men of color

Despite the busyness of rushing around, meeting folk and having meetings in between the full on weekend commitments we're planning to steal some family time so we have a chance to chill, regroup as a family and recharge the batteries.
This morning was just such an occassion as we set about exploring and rediscovering the delights of Susan's amazing garden. Looking at the pictures (see full album links below) it's hard to believe that we're in the middle of London given how green and lush the garden is.
This afternoon should also be a lot of fun as Grandad & Lesley are here to take the boys off our hands for a bit as we escape for an hour or two.
See full album here.

Some simple measures of the difficulty of a variety of steps in asphere fabrication are defined by reference to fundamental geometric considerations. It is shown that effective approximations can then be exploited when an asphere's shape is characterized by using a particular orthogonal basis. The efficiency of the results allows them to be used not only as quick manufacturability estimates at the production end, but more importantly as part of an efficient design process that can boost the resulting optical systems' cost-effectiveness.

The duration of your term policy should rely upon how long you need to provide financial security to your family if there should arise an occurrence of unfortunate eventualities. However, while buying a term policy, you should always opt for a 'term' depending on your retirement age. So, if your current age is 30 and you are planning to retire at the age of 60, then you should opt for a 30 years policy term.
Let's understand age-wise, how much approximate term duration you should opt for while buying a term policy.
In Your 20s:
While buying a term policy in your 20s, you can opt for a term duration of 40 years. Additionally, at a young age, you can fix the premiums at much lower rates.
In Your 30s:
You can opt for a term of 35 to 40 years. It relies upon how long you are planning to work till the time you retire, your dependents, and your liabilities.
In Your 40s:
When in the 40s, you can pick a term duration of 20 to 25 years.
In Your 50s:
By the time you hit your 50s, generally your children are grown up and independent, and your liabilities are lower. Therefore, it is prudent to decide on a term of 10 to 15 years.

After review, we've learned that many car owners consider Mobil 1 M1-110 Extended Performance oil filter as one of the best in providing their engines with a lasting performance.
The filter is already tried and tested and found to be effective in oil contaminant removal from the blend of its advance synthetic fiber and high Multi-Pass Efficiency rating. It can hold contaminants more than the other filters can. It can withstand the operating pressure of your engine (which is nearly nine times than the normal pressure) with its aluminum canister.
It is its adaptability for a workable installation in your car that sets it apart from the other tools for filtering. It also prevents dryness of the engine because it removes the internal leakage when it's shutdown using the silicone-based anti-drain back valve.
Consumers find the product very effective in oil filtering as it works well in any type of car. It thoroughly removes any kind of leakage an it last for several years. Among the downsides of this filter are it's being lighter than the other filters that gives it a cheap feel. It is smaller compared to the common oil filters. It is also a little pricey that the other types of filter

Well, at least Hillary Clinton is smarter about privacy than David Petraeus was, getting someone to set up a private domain name rather than leaving his love notes in a DropBox account.
So how much does Hillary Clinton's private email account matter? Probably less than the media thinks. This controversy is magnified because it presses a berzerk button for journalists: The Right To Know. But do Real Voters care?
In our polarized partisan political culture, which is All About That Base Base Base and where only about 5% are actual swing voters, is ANYONE actually going to choose Scott Walker or Jeb Bush over Hillary Clinton a year and a half from now just because of this issue? The overwhelming consensus among apolitical and anti-political "independents" is: They're All Crooks Anyway. (You couldn't script a better race to turn off independents than Clinton-Bush.)
Yes, it's better to do as much as possible in the open. But the reality is: public people sometimes need to have private conversations. It's simply not possible to say and do everything in front of everybody. Remember the old definition of a gaffe: inadvertently speaking the truth?
For some reason people accept this in day to day life. Do YOU always tell the boss everything you're thinking to their face? Not if you like having a job. We think long and hard in private, or discuss with trusted colleagues,before we offer the toned down and diplomatic (see what I did there) version to the higher-ups.
But in politics, we resent it. Yet we contradict ourselves, by at the same time expecting it. The faux "exploratory committees." The sure loser insisting "the only poll that counts is Election Day" or the party chair insisting the candidate has a chance. The Supreme Court nominee insisting they've never decided what they really think of Roe-Wade. We don't vote for Prophets Of Doom.
Any journalist who's ever fished for a blind quote understands the value of going off the record, and willingly participates. Yet it doesn't keep them from being self-righteous when they Bust someone for Official Secrecy.
So the issue here isn't privacy. It's the AMOUNT of privacy and the WAY it was done. As Chris Cilizza rightly notes, the political problem is that it plays into the pre-conceived notions of Clinton as secretive and scheming. And paranoid - though it's not paranoia if they really are out to get you.
Which probably WOULD matter - if Hillary Clinton had viable, live primary opposition. Instead, reluctant Dems have little choice but to circle the wagons around the Presumptive Nominee while grumbling in private. Jim Webb or even Martin O'Malley ain't viable, live primary opposition. There's only three or four viable, rock star level potential rivals out there: Joe Biden, on rank and Bidenness, and Bernie Sanders OR, not both, Elizabeth Warren on ideology. And Sanders still has to meet the necessary precondition of joining the Democratic Party.
And it says here that Al Gore is coming to Iowa in May. Now THAT would make me ready for Hillary.

When it came time to shoot his new film "Predators", Adrien Brody took the jungle setting of the plot very seriously.
Instead of retreating to some five-star resort in between takes, the actor decided to stay in a run-down hut in the depths of the rain forest.
"We shot in a thousand acres of lush tropical rain forest, a location of prehistoric dimensions with giant leaves and jungle canopies," he said. "I stayed in a hut in the jungle. I isolated myself in a damp room, with screen doors, not an air-conditioned hotel room. I studied meditation techniques. My nightly reading consisted of military training books, paramilitary manuals, field guides and special-operation manuals. I had no mobile phone reception ... The only time I would leave set was to exercise ... I would get food, but otherwise I was on my own in one of the rainiest place in the world."
In the end, Brody said the effort was worth it because it allowed him to connect that much more with his character.
He adds, "I felt the need to stay focused and for this period of time and just be disciplined. It is an effort to be faithful for a character and convey something truthfully, and I know I can subject myself to severe discomfort."

Talley Vineyards Estate Chardonnay – 2015
Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes
About Wine:
This wine artfully combines fragrant strawberry and blackberry aromas with earthy, cocoa dust undertones. Flavors of harmonious red and black fruits including tart plums are underpinned by spice. A high note of acidity balances the wine's silky mouthfeel and shapes its harmonious and persistent finish.
After harvesting the fruit, they de-stem and hand-sort the grapes before moving them into open-top fermenters where we use gentle, manual punch-downs to protect the delicacy of the Pinot Noir grapes. Once fermentation is complete, they rack the free-run juice into French oak barrels (42% new) where the wine ages for 12 months before bottling.
About The Smith Vineyard:
The 131-acre Smith Vineyard planted at 590 to 1,280 feet boasts eastern exposure above the fog line for a long growing season. Its well-draining soils are formed primarily from alluvial materials. A few exotic Pinot Noir clones (such as Jardini, Calera and Mt. Eden) have been spectacularly successful in this vineyard, lending additional nuance and complexity to this wine.

If you study urban wildlife and you want to gather information, don't forget the power of social media. That's what Marcus Mueller and Dr. David Drake have done in Madison, Wisconsin, to support their study of urban foxes and coyotes.
When I talked with Mueller back in February as the UW Urban Canid Project got rolling, he was excited about how much interest the project's Facebook page was garnering. Then he figured out how to turn that interest into a tool for his research.
The team wants to know how foxes and coyotes use the urban landscape of Madison, and specifically how these two species, which are usually enemies, divvy up the city to coexist. The researchers began their study by asking the city's residents to let them know if they had sighted coyotes or foxes in their yards recently, and if the team could get permission to set up traps and collar the animals for study. As residents learned about the project, they were willing to report sightings and much more.
"We hoped to get a better idea of where foxes and coyotes were spending their time by mapping out reported sightings by the public. After a call for sightings by a university publication, my adviser received almost 70 individual emails from Madison residents regarding foxes and coyotes. After the Facebook page was launched, sightings continued to come in, along with pictures and videos taken from citizens' backyards. These sightings directly led to the capture and collaring of several individuals."
With such success in reporting sightings, the team thought their Facebook followers might be up a new task: collecting poop.
The team uses scat to learn more about the diet and health of the canids. Collecting coyote scat is easy enough for the team as coyotes tend to spend most of their time in parks and preserves. But foxes, on the other hand, spend most of their time in private backyards and neighborhoods, and not so much in public spaces.
"We had the idea to request that members of the public who regularly see foxes in their yards collect any scat that the foxes leave behind. This question was posed on our Facebook page in early June, and I was very surprised by the response. At the end of the first day, we had around 20 individuals comment and eagerly request more information about how to help us out. After such a positive response, we moved quickly to provide information about identifying scat and properly collecting/storing it. It only took a few days to collect our first scat sample. We have been successfully collecting samples ever since and hope to continue collecting to get a better picture of seasonal changes in diets."
Urban foxes often hang out in private backyards, so having residents willing to collect scat for the researchers was a significant benefit. (Photo: Lordbphotos/Shutterstock)
The "Scat Scavengers" have made the researchers' job easier and their efforts have helped to quickly fill in gaps in information. In fact, Mueller says the scat analysis portion of the study may not have happened at all if it not for the overwhelming assistance from the public. Research projects like this are always short on time and money, so this extra information coming in is all thanks to the assistance of social media followers willing to get involved. But there's also another important task that such involvement accomplishes: getting the public interested in the science of local wildlife.
"Incorporating the public has been one of the goals of the UW Urban Canid Project. Providing members of the public with first-hand experience in our research will hopefully go a long way to fostering an appreciation for urban canids and help to further our goal of creating a peaceful coexistence between humans and urban wildlife in this developed landscape."
The team is also using iNaturalist to keep reports organized. iNaturalist is an app citizens can use to report sightings, including detailed information and photographs. The reports are all filed under the specific project, and the app generates a map of sightings and stores the details of each report. This way, Mueller and Drake can look in one place for the reports, rather than spending hours sifting through a barrage of emails and phone calls. It's a powerful tool for researchers who do this kind of work.
Social media has become the new best friend of researchers who know how to utilize it.
"The number of people using social media for their daily information grows every year, and wildlife researchers and managers should take advantage of this to effectively reach stakeholders," said Mueller. "A successful social media campaign does take effort and planning. Identifying a target audience, choosing platforms based on that audience, and tailoring content to best reach them are all steps to using social media effectively. Ultimately, it is a tool I would recommend to any researcher exploring new ways to reach target stakeholders, especially in urban areas."

Page 1: Biography
Te Rauparaha, Tamihana
Ngati Toa leader, evangelist, writer, sheepfarmer, assessor
This biography, written by Steven Oliver, was first published in the Dictionary of New Zealand Biography in 1990.
Tamihana Te Rauparaha, known also as Katu, was the son of the great Ngati Toa leader Te Rauparaha and his fifth and senior wife, Te Akau of Tuhourangi. He was born at Pukearuhe, a Ngati Tama pa in northern Taranaki, while Ngati Toa were on their long journey from Kawhia to the south. He took the name Tamihana (Thompson) when he was baptised by CMS missionary Octavius Hadfield on 21 March 1841, and was known from that time on as Tamihana. On 11 September 1843 he and Ruta (Ruth) Te Kapu, daughter of Tawhiri of Ngati Raukawa, were married at Otaki by Hadfield.
Katu was carried as a baby to Kapiti, the island which became the new home of Ngati Toa. As a child he accompanied his father on war expeditions. On one occasion, while making cartridges, he injured himself and others by throwing gunpowder into a campfire. He was at the storming of Kaiapoi pa in 1831 and was with his father when they were ambushed by Ngai Tahu at Kapara-te-hau (Lake Grassmere), about 1833. Tamihana subsequently wrote down accounts of these and other Ngati Toa campaigns, putting together information he had gathered from Te Rauparaha. These writings have been used extensively by historians.
Christianity was brought to Kapiti, and also to Otaki where Katu was living, by Maori who had been taken as captives to the Bay of Islands and released when their masters became Christian. In November 1839 he and his cousin Matene Te Whiwhi went by ship to the Bay of Islands to seek a missionary for the Kapiti area. They returned with Henry Williams and Octavius Hadfield; Hadfield remained permanently on the Kapiti coast. In 1843 Tamihana and Te Whiwhi went to the South Island and preached Christianity to their relations there and to Ngai Tahu, their former enemies. When he was asked by Ngai Tahu chiefs if his father was going to come to attack them he would reply, 'He indeed will not come; for I have indeed come hither to you to bring an end to war-fare, and to bind firmly peace by virtue of the words of the Gospel of the Lord.' The next year he accompanied Bishop G. A. Selwyn on his first overland trek in the South Island, which began with the first church service in South Canterbury, at Te Wai-a-te-ruati. In these ways Tamihana helped to bring the fighting to an end, and to bring Christianity to the southern parts of New Zealand.
In 1845 he was sent by his father to the Hutt Valley in an effort to make sure that Maori left the land which was in dispute with settlers, as Te Rauparaha and Te Rangihaeata had agreed. He attended St John's College in Auckland and was there in 1846 when his father was arrested on the orders of Governor George Grey. He visited his father on board the Calliope and quotes his father as saying, 'Oh son! both you and Matene [Te Whiwhi], go to your people! and say: repay only with goodness on my account; do not incurr ill-will with the Europeans on my account – for only by Goodwill is the salvation of Man, Woman and Child.' Tamihana took this message to Otaki, where Ngati Raukawa were planning to take revenge for the arrest of Te Rauparaha, by joining with Te Rangihaeata to attack Wellington. They were dissuaded from war by Te Rauparaha's words. During Te Rauparaha's detention in Auckland Tamihana and other Ngati Toa leaders agreed to sell the Wairau plains to the government for £3,000. When Te Rauparaha was released in January 1848, Tamihana was at Otaki to welcome him.
Tamihana was one of the young chiefs of Otaki who adopted the clothing and lifestyle of an English gentleman. He lived in a European-style house and had European servants. He became a successful sheepfarmer and a man of considerable wealth; by 1866 he had a flock of 700 sheep. He owned land in the Otaki and Foxton districts; he is said to have lived the life of a country gentleman.
On 19 December 1850 Tamihana left for England, on the Wesleyan Missionary Society vessel John Wesley, together with Jane and William Williams, other missionaries and members of their families. They arrived in April 1851. On 30 June 1852 Tamihana was presented to Queen Victoria. Later in the same year he returned to New Zealand. He now sought to establish a monarchy for the Maori people, to give them a unity beyond that of the tribe and to bring law and security to their land. Potatau Te Wherowhero of Ngati Mahuta eventually agreed to become king and was installed at Ngaruawahia in 1858. Tamihana supported the King movement's attempt to halt the sale of Maori land. He wanted to put a limit to further European encroachment so that the two races could live peacefully side by side.
When supporters of the King joined Wiremu Kingi Te Rangitake of Te Ati Awa in his resistance to the government over the land purchase at Waitara in 1860, Tamihana broke with the movement. In May 1860 he opposed the raising of the King's flag at Otaki. He went from there to Papawai to oppose King influence in Wairarapa. In a letter to Bishop Selwyn on 19 April 1860 he wrote that he was living in fear that the Taranaki war would spread south to Otaki; he wanted Maori and Pakeha to live in peace, health and goodwill. In the later 1860s Tamihana and Te Whiwhi used their influence to prevent the wars from reaching the Wellington area. They gained acceptance for the proposal that it should be a zone of peace, although men would be able to travel from it to join the fighting in the north, if they wished.
In 1866 Tamihana supported the sale of the Rangitikei–Manawatu block against the objections of some Ngati Raukawa supporters of the King living there. The sale was supported by Ngati Toa, as well as by the tribes who had lived there before the northern invasions. In spite of Ngati Raukawa's claim that it was theirs by conquest and occupation, it was sold to the government for £25,000. In 1869 Tamihana accompanied the governor, G. F. Bowen, on a tour of the South Island with Wi Tako Ngatata and Mete Kingi Te Rangi Paetahi. By 1864 Tamihana held the position of senior assessor and received an annual salary of £100.
Tamihana Te Rauparaha died on 22 or 23 October 1876, at the age of 57 according to one obituary. He is said to be buried in an unmarked grave at Otaki, beside his wife, who had died in 1870. They had had no children, but had an adopted son, Wiremu Kerei Kupapa.

State and federal officials are investigating and responding to the deaths of several ʻōhiʻa trees on Kauaʻi.
A few months ago, an official with the Department of Land and Natural Resources discovered at least five trees that appeared to have died from symptoms associated with Rapid ʻŌhiʻa Death – in the Moloaʻa Forest Reserve on the northeastern side of the island.
Samples of the trees were later collected and sent to a USDA lab in Hilo – which confirmed a fungus related to Rapid ʻŌhiʻa Death caused the deaths. The fungus found Kauaʻi is one of two fungi that is killing large numbers of ʻōhiʻa trees on Hawaiʻi Island. But it is slower moving and less aggressive.
The results sparked a rapid response from state, local and federal agencies – who performed aerial surveys, additional lab work and training of Kauai teams.
Sheri Mann is the Kauai Branch Chief for the DLNR's Division of Forestry and Wildlife.
She says they don't know how the fungus got to Kauaʻi, but there are several theories.
Officials are still assessing how widespread the fungus is on Kauaʻi. In the meantime, they're asking residents and visitors to be mindful not to possibly spread the fungus.
Tiffani Keanini is the Project Manager for the Kauaʻi Invasive Species Committee.
She says sanitation is the best way to prevent the spread.
Keanini says residents should report any trees that look like they may be affected by the fungus.
The DLNR says it will be meeting with local partners this week to plan and implement next steps and actions.

Every now and then on the Metro and elsewhere I've seen groups of kids, and sometimes adults, walking around saying they're fundraising for Petworth's Roosevelt High School, a Roosevelt sports team or something similar. They have a piece of paper, sometimes laminated, with info about the team. However, WUSA reports that it's a scam.
DC Public Schools say the Metro fundraiser isn't affiliated with the school, and that they only do fundraisers on campus. They also said to check the school's Twitter or call them, 202-576-6130.
The scammers had the misfortune of talking to both Petworth News blogger Drew Schneider and DC Councilmember Robert White, who both thought something was fishy. Pretty shitty of people to do this to people who think they're helping a local school.
However, there is an official, legit fundraiser today though -- if you eat at Chick-fil-A today and bring the flyer with you (or show them the flyer on your phone) the store will donate to the school.
