This is my last post at Twolves Blog. It’s been a pleasure. I’m grateful to Bloguin, DeROK, College Wolf, and the Twolves Blog community for the opportunity to blog at this site. I know they’ll continue to do good things here. After a week long break to recover from tonight’s ridiculous loss (152 points???), I’ll continue elsewhere.

Game previews:
Yep, the Jazz are revisiting painful early season outings against the pestering T-Wolves (how’s that for a change?) who shocked Utah twice within a two-week period in December. Minnesota also gave the Jazz fits in the one game Utah actually won, a 107-103 squeaker in late December.
The Jazz, who are in the thick of things in the upper half of the Western Conference playoff positioning battle, are once again promising to not overlook a team that sits at the bottom of the standings.
“This season we’re not going to take any more teams lightly,” Jazz forward Carlos Boozer said. “We did a bad job of that earlier on in the season where we would get up for the good games or the tough matchups, but we wouldn’t get up for the teams that we’re supposed to beat, quote-unquote.”
Al Jefferson blood alcohol content tested at .12 — the state legal limit is 0.08 — on the night he was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of driving while impaired, State Patrol Lt. Eric Roeske said today.
Jefferson was pulled over for speeding on I-394 west of downtown Minneapolis a little after 1 a.m. on Feb. 28, less than four hours after the Wolves lost to Portland at Target Center that night.
From Jason Quick/The Oregonian: Tom Penn ‘surprised’ and ‘disappointed’ he is fired by Trail Blazers
Penn was pursued heavily last spring for the general manager position with the Minnesota Timberwolves, but turned down the job after the Blazers promoted him.
