Reggie Theus was an assistant for the Timberwolves when Fred was in the front office.

 

He was also the basketball coach on Saturday morning teen show Hang Time in the late 90s.

Reggie played on some Great Bulls Teams with Artis Gilmore.

When they traded him to the Kings it might have been the most consequential trade in history.  Not because of the magnitude of the trade, but because of a side effect.  Without that trade the Bulls might have won enough games so that they didn't end up with the 3rd pick in the 1984 draft, or if they do they might not draft a 2-guard since they already would have had one.  Michael Jordan could have ended up with the Mavericks instead.

Yep, & what if Sam Bowie would’ve turned out to be more than an answer to a trivia question. On a side note, my Father fought for the 1955 Golden Gloves Championship @ the old Chicago Stadium where the Bulls/Blackhawks played.

Sam Bowie would have been a legitmately great player if not for the five or six times he fractured a leg.

 

A look at the 1979 McDonald's All American game roster had a couple of nice players:  Isaiah Thomas, Dominique Wilkins, James Worthy, Clark Kellogg, Ralph Sampson, Sam Bowie, John Paxson, Byron Scott, Antoine Carr, Steve Stipanovich, Quentin Dailey, Greg Kite, Dereck Whittenburg, Sidney Lowe, Darren Daye, Terry Fair.  (No Rod Foster or Thurl Bailey or Jon Sundvold?  What were they thinking?)

I got to see Worthy play in person his last year with the Lakers & Sid Lowe/Thurl Bailey were Timberwolves Teammates. And what about Ricky Frazier @ Mizzou for that All American Team…?

Lol yet he can pronounce Büyüktuncel.

Meah is not protecting the rim. And we'll never have Fred's offensive flow when he's in the game. I don't get it. 

[cozrulz]

looking like we need some different starters

[Bugeaters1]

The women ref was black listed from the WNBA.

For calling actual travels?

 

(I don't actually know, but could be good to actually call out illegal plays )

It's gonna be a long season.

 

[Faux Mike Peltz]

Gary doesn’t look the same as last year. He is just throwing up bricks near the rim.

shooting 23%.  10% from three.  77% free throw.

[Nighthawk]

This might be the last year Coach is here unless this team starts to figure things out.  This is not a good follow up to last year. 

[Vinny]

Fred better be as mad as Fred gets at halftime.

Not a flashy team, that's for sure. But this is the right time to try to get a team that hasn't spent many minutes together.

 

I would say it's too soon to tell. But also cautiously realistic that things aren't up-to-par right now. That's fine for now. But could bite us bad later if we don't future it out.

[Cazzie22]

My goodness.  This game is dreadful.  Nearly unwatchable.

[Faux Mike Peltz]

Brice and Gary are not good on forcing contested midrange shots. Have to shoot better from 3, especially at home. Goodness. 

[HuskerFever]

B1G+ is showing this halftime game right now. It's hard to tell whether their shooting % is better or worse than our first half performance.

[brfrad]

Not pretty.  Lots of teachable moments.  Right now, we don't have anyone playing well.  Need to get our poop together.  

 

I think we can wear these guys down.  Wednesday,  will be a different story.
