Congratulations to The Timberpups

The exceedingly young Timberwolves (aside from Theo Ratliff and ChunkyHead Walker) have been close in a few games (thanks in part to ol' Man Ratliff) but have finally busted their cherry with a win over the Sacramento Kings.

And truly, it was a combination of old and young tonight, as Rashad McCants, Al Jefferson & Antoine Walker combined for 75 of the TWolves 108 points. Walker got into the mix at least in part due to Craig Smith's ankle roll, and knocked 19 of those points. Good show, Man They Named Those Stupid Wall-Sized Posters After.

That said, kids, don't win too many--we are hoping for a high lottery pick next year.

Oops--almost forgot to congratulate the technical crew of Fox Sports North, for spelling Player of the Game Rashad McCants' name incorrectly. Look, guys, I know he's been injured a lot his first couple of years, but he was a hell of a college player, and the night a guy drops 33 points (including a couple of clutch free-throws to seal the game) can't you see your way clear to not label him as "Rashard McCants"? You made your on-air talent stumble over his name and giggle.
