Only 70-something opportunities left for success!

Can KG continue to overcome the (perceived) ineptness
of his coach? Damn, he's playing great (disregard the
box scores).

Isn't it interesting that yet another "superstar" disses
Wally, a player on his own team no less?

Are you familiar with the "Partisan Effect"? Basically,
it means that most humans filter out information that
contradicts their position - and in fact receive a little
biochemical "reward" when they do so. Methinks this
applies to you, Krush, at least on the subject of Wally.

Paul Pierce was indeed saying much the same things
that I had noticed, i.e., that in many ways, Morrison's
game does resemble Wally's. And so, I'm damn glad
the Wolves never got the chance to draft Adam.

Pot . . .Kettle . . .

You've gotta be kidding. If you were looking at the same thing I was,
there were three or four positives comments about Wally, and one
negative. You call that a big diss? The way he went after Kendrick
Perkins recently is a diss.

BTW, why are you doing your dardest to continue to *bring up* Wally?
Is it that there is not enough to disagree about with current Wolves,
so you need to reach to the past? Is that what you come to these
groups for?

Hassell sucks . . .there ya go. I'm here to help you, Levi . . .have
at it.

High melatonin epidermis?

Nice try, but I'm completely convinced that I am
a member of the 20% of humans who don't seem
to experience the Partisan Effect. Of course, one
might argue "How would you know?" because an
inability to even recognize the existence of contrary
evidence is a key symptom,

Dude, I didn't post without some timeliness. Wally was
"in the news". Blame Glen Taylor and Paul Pierce for
bringing up the pomaded one. I admit to being aware that
I am jerking your chain but mostly, I simply enjoy dissing
Wally whose play (and later personality) I knew from the
first season he was here was inadequate for winning in
the NBA if he was given a major role. Yet he was
billed as a "star", blather, blather.

Look, McHale heaped millions on Wally and pretty much
doomed the Wolves to mediocrity when greatness wasn't
so far away. Remember that the Wolves MV3 success
mostly came while Wally was injured. And they really
struggled trying to integrate him upon his return. And
remember how Phil Jackson targeted Wally as the guy
to pick on.

Or maybe I'm just miffed that he wore my soccer jersey
number.

Yeah. He sucks so bad, that the inept head coach (who
the Wolves front office hired last year) named Trenton
co-captain of the team this season.
