BOX SCORE How much can you really take away from a game like this? I could talk about how good Oden looked when Al Jefferson wasn’t sneaking around him for buckets. But it’s the Timberwolves. I could talk about how that two point-guard lineup was pretty nifty again. But it’s the Timberwolves. Portland is working towards becoming a very good team, Minnesota is a mess. That pretty...

The end of the draft got pretty ugly, with quite a few players being picked based solely on one double digit scoring or rebounding game. I mean, who is Omri Casspi, Dahntay Jones, or Luc Mbah a Moute? This is like the worst case spelling bee NBA edition. The most mysterious player however, has to be Oleksiy Pecherov.
