Locker Room Scene After game

Tonight we lost a very close game to the Los Angeles Clippers. We were down by one point with 4.3 seconds left and we needed one basket to win the game. During our timeout, Coach Casey drew up a play that got KG open for a pass with time expiring. From my angle, Kevin’s shot … Read more

Winning Streak

Coach Casey, Locker Room, Day off, mentally refreshed, Mark Blount, KG, Houston, Charlie Ward, Houston Rockets

Sunday, Coach Casey came into the locker room and said something like, “OK guys we’re going to practice tommorrow.” The locker room went silent….most of the guys were hoping for a day off given how well we’ve been playing as well as how busy our schedule has been. Then he smiled and said “Just kidding….take … Read more

Road Win!!

Road Win, Coach Casey, Indiana, Marcus, Mark Blount, Physical Therapy

I shouldn’t have to get excited about this, but hey, tonight we won a game on the road for the first time in about 13 tries. I thought that Marcus Banks had a great quote to describe our attitude towards this game when he said to the media, “I hope those guys back home [were] … Read more

Empty Seats

Flight, Memphis, Coach Casey Bracey Wright, NBA Development League, Road Trip

The flight today to Memphis wasn’t the same without Anthony Carter, Ricky Davis and Kevin Garnett in their usual seats on the plane.

Kevin Garnett…….

Kevin Garnett, Coach Casey, MySpace.com, Big Men

Since anyone reading this blog is somewhat computer savy I have to tell you about the good laugh that KG and I shared today in practice.

Coach Casey, NBA, Timberwolves, Basketball IQ, Best Defender, March Madness

The season is coming to an end and while all of us are very disappointed that we’re not going to the playoffs, I’ve seen some real positives lately from the team. I really think that Marcus Banks has come into his own, as he’s earned more minutes from Coach Casey. Marcus may be one of … Read more

KG comes up big

Kevin Garnett, Coach Casey,Justin Reed, NBA, Timberwolves

In the three years I’ve been on the Timberwolves, I have seen KG make a lot of game-winning shots, but tonight was extra special because he added a game saving block! I wish I had footage of our locker room after the game that I could post here too! KG was chest bumping teammates and … Read more
