one of my favorite sports writers, britt robson, used to write for the VV-owned city pages but got bounced, he has a new home now online and glad to have him back writing about the timberwolves

just a lil pre game butt stuff

oh man his favorite players are paul and wade, new fav HS player

The gold teamers snicker. The teacher points toward the back of the room and asks, "Chris, are there any strange animals you guys eat over in China that we don't eat over here?" Chris Tang looks up from his notebook and grins self-consciously: "No."

The teacher then asks Tang if they eat a lot of fish in China. Tang says, "Yes." But when he's asked what species of fish they eat, he just sort of shrugs. A teammate offers, "They probably mostly eat fish with rice and noodles over there." The teacher says, "Yup. I bet Chris was real excited when he saw the ramen on the shelves of the student store."

damn

Since coming to the States, Chris has become a huge fan of hip-hop and has taken to rapping 2 Chainz songs in the shower, a practice that provides endless entertainment for his teammates.

lmao love it

didnt realize oak hill was just a glorified basketball camp figured it was some real prep school

"I've never seen an eighth-grader with his work ethic," Crowe said. "We'd have an off day from practice and Chris would come up to me and say, 'No off day, Coach.'"

lol this reads like a script but then nobody really writes sports journalism like this outside america i think

it's a pretty good article really kev

i really just wish lin would be cooler and not love god so much

how is lin doing atm

started kinda slow but has played better recently

hmn i should watch some nba games this year i guess, what are the most consistently entertaining teams and do i have to watch the heat

favorite teams to watch so far have been the Rockets, the Clippers, and whoever's playing the Lakers

I probably wouldn't willingly watch a Heat game until the playoffs

nuggets, clippers, timberwolves, and spurs are my favorites to watch this year. (knicks too but all their games are blacked out where i live.) rockets can be fun too. basically every team has at least 1 or 2 players i really like watching, so i'll watch any game. heat aren't the most "fun" team in terms of my particular basketball ideology but they have lebron and wade on their team so

grizzzzzzz

it was fun watching the grizz lose to the nuggets last week, true

wolves-heat tonight

lol kev is mad griz took the nugs crown

rubio's gonna sit :(

already??

they said they are easing him in and aren't going to play him on back-to-backs for a bit

yo kev I scored blazers/nuggs tickets for Thursday if u wanna join me hop on a plane it's np

they just showed a picture of the minnesota and miami starting lineups and Greg Anthony said "this is going to be a colorful game"

otm

pekovic beast mode

Noah 5 fg 5 asts 6 mins

wait the graphic they flashed must be wrong...Bulls only have 12 pts. sorry I just tuned in and saw that.

clay for real if i'm ever out there we will catch a game

oh yeah dude of course!

minny running some gorgeous plays

ILH fap @ clay's cool see ya'll soon

only the 6th double double of pek's career?that can't be right

yeah let's rent a suite for the wolves game and paint RUBIO across our chests

I got the B

Also it turns out I'm booked Thursday and forgot so I'm seeing the suns Saturday instead which is kind of a lame deal but whatever it's still BALL

unless another graphic was wrong...Noah w/the trip dub

GALLO

Jordan Crawford had a triple dub in a loss tonight

pop goes to hack-a-javale for the last 4 mins of the 3Q but then doesn't foul him when the nuggs hold for the last shot, bizarre

faried is playing (well) with the flu and just puked on the bench
