Click here for the forum’s thread for tonight’s game against Cleveland.
From the Timberwolves site:
Mark Madsen will be activated for tonight’s game and will have an opportunity to see minutes in place of Ratliff.
"Who knows (how much he’ll play), a lot, a little, I really don’t know
that," concluded Wittman. "How guys play determines their minutes. If
Dog’s effective, he’ll play."

Madsen passed a fitness test Tuesday that gauged his strength and range
of motion. Madsen said after this morning’s shootaround that his
shoulder is "totally healthy."

From Bill Simmons:
Believe me, I’m not arguing with how it turned out. But what happened
with the KG Sweepstakes — McHale giving a discount deal to one of his
best friends and helping his old team — was a complete betrayal of
every Minnesota fan who loved KG and supported that team. How could
they support the franchise after that? Shouldn’t they be organizing
boycotts of the games? Check out these four e-mails I received
after writing about KG’s impact on the Celtics and tell me that (A)
this wasn’t one of the cruelest trades ever inflicted on a fan base,
and (B) the owner shouldn’t sell the franchise and give those die-hard
Minnesota fans a fresh start. All 790 of them.

I always believed–and wrote–that the Warriors were very close to
acquiring KG on draft night. Since then, I’ve been understandably
bashed by many who don’t know, and also heard from several inside the
darn Warriors draft room who agree that a T-Wolves/GSW/KG deal was
close.

The new info from today’s article: Miller and Garnett were the ones who put up roadblocks on draft night, not the T-Wolves.

Considering what happened in the Wolves-Celtics deal, it looks as if Ainge learned more from Auerbach than McHale did.
