In case you missed it, my story on Norvel Pelle, the biggest wildcard in the NBA draft, who's hoping to make history: foxsportswest.com/story/Norvel-P…

Thielbar is the first @StPaulSaints player to get a crack with the #MNTwins. ... By the way, the Twins scouted Mark Hamburger last week.

Re: Thielbar -- Former St. Paul Saint. Great story. RT ‏@MTHollimon Sooo pumped for my bro, Caleb Thielbar!!! #MLBdebut #MNTwins

Malik Smith's JUCO coach: "Never been a special defender, but understands angles in the multiple defenses that MN will employ." #gophers

Norvel Pelle didn't go to college. He never played overseas. But he's hoping to be picked in this year's NBA draft: foxsportswest.com/story/Norvel-P…

.@Flip_Saunders will be in New Jersey this week. He'll bond w/ K. Love at the lottery tomorrow, then watch a group draft workout Wed./Thurs.

Goodnight world!

Inside man is still one of my favorite movies.

Padres game! http://t.co/fL0XjHveCq

Found this memorable #Gophers Brewster motivational prop in a TCF Stadium closet: http://t.co/mVEKW6IxMS

The Knicks fans at this bar are cheering for every single made basket as if it's a big deal. This implies shockingly low expectations.

Let's do this! http://t.co/uVtC1HqTQS

Figuring out what tailgate party to hit up.. @WIproblems http://t.co/GCDneuah3N

Gas... @LylLuke8

In which Phil Jackson buys produce, diagrams plays and chats with Luke Walton: nytimes.com/2013/05/19/mag…

Hey, @_squintz, come hang w/ this bachelor party in sec. 233 (think that's right). We got extra room at the Marriott. You'd be a great prop.

I kind of want to tweet every sentence of this Warriors "fan fiction" parody from Grantland yesterday: grantland.com/story/_/id/927…

For everyone asking why Wolves didn't talk to Oladipo: They requested him but didn't get him from their list. NBA limits # of interviews

SGs who said they haven't heard from Wolves: Jamaal Franklin, Seth Curry, Allen Crabbe. That doesn't mean necessarily they're not interested

Add Kentavious Caldwell-Pope to that list I just sent. The Georgia SG said he talked to Wolves last night

Scoops: tinyurl.com/baaaj5u #gophers #twolves #mntwins

Informal survey of SGs Wolves have/will talk to: Ben McLeMore, Tim Hardaway Jr., Ricky Ledo, Archie Goodwin, Reggie Bullock, Vander Blue

Sounds like Trevor Mbakwe had an impressive sprint at the combine. I wrote about his long path to the draft in March: foxsportsnorth.com/collegebasketb…

Just FYI: Wolves have talked to Maryland C Alex Len but not Indiana's Cody Zeller here in Chicago

Here's a portion of my chats yesterday w/ Pitino, Kill, J Robinson, & Borton: tinyurl.com/9wkr53v #gophers

I've given up on basketball for The Office. So on that note: Jim Halpert. Sigh.

Limit of 7 people per team at Combine. For #Twolves: Flip, Babcock, D Adelman, RJ Adelman, Euro scout Zarko Durisic, M Barnes, Matt Bollero.

Puerto Rico lo mejor la comida la gente el calor la playa todo la vida ...coqui

Wolves also interviewed Syracuse PG Michael Carter-Williams last night

apologies to my earlier tweet that mispelled UCLA's Shabazz Muhammad's name.

More from Pitino: "We want 5 guys (on the floor) who can shoot the 3." ... He spent the bus trip watching film of other B1G teams. #gophers

Wolves interviewed Ben McLemore, Otto Porter and Shabazz Mohammed but won't get from their wish list Indiana's Victor Oladipo

Pitino praised Eliason, but said he has to win a push-up competition between the two. Hasn't yet. Has to get into better shape. #gophers

Pitino to the crowd: said Mo Walker is down 20 lbs in the last month. Needs to drop 40 more. Will stay here all summer. #gophers

Kill here too. Said 2014 schedule will be one heck of a ride. Really tough 3-game stretch. Said 17 of his guys have had offseason surgery.

Hanging w/ Pitino & other #Gophers coaches in Redwood Falls. He confirmed that Coleman started thinking about leaving before he came.

Blog from Chicago: Among early players to talk to media, UCLA's Muhammad, OSU's Deshaun Thomas interview w/ Wolves startribune.com/sports/blogs/2…

No Rick Adelman in Chicago. He's earned the right not to be here.

Faces spotted just walking into gym: Danny Ainge, Mitch Kupchak, Ty Corbin, Mike D'Antoni, Jerry Sloan, Rick Carlisle, RJ Adelman

Just arrived Chicago for draft combine. Flip and 6 Wolves reps are here for player workouts/interviews.Part camp/part job fair for new boss

Told these schools have interest in Joe Coleman: Oregon, Boston College, & maybe Baylor. Iowa St possibly too, but hear they're guard heavy.

Z-Bo is scared of cats. I repeat, Z-Bo is scared of cats. I may never get over this. sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nba-ball… (via @YahooBDL)

The #Twolves are meeting with many guys in the next few days, @BCookMN. Just pointing out that Len is on tonight's agenda.

Among the draft prospects @Flip_Saunders & the #Twolves are meeting with tonight: Maryland center Alex Len.

And now this song will be stuck in my head for the rest of the night. Not necessarily a bad thing. youtube.com/watch?v=DvW-tn…

We up. 50 cent / Kendrick

Got the haircut. But the beard is staying

Masses of people at this moment: Costco Gas Maple Grove > Times Square.

Kyle Gibson is fine. @joe_schmit misheard. I simply re-tweeted. Now back to getting my .15 on in the stands. #mntwins

I worked out a little bit of personal angst in today's column, on L.A. and its borrowed/poached stars: foxsportswest.com/story/Has-LA-b…

Campamento de mi amigo y jugador de los cangrejeros de Santurce Alex Falcon ...coqui http://t.co/DyydhS5q3L

Will be curious to see if there's any backlash. Coleman is a former Mr. Basketball from one of the top local programs in Hopkins. #gophers

More on Coleman from a contact: "I think he saw the inevitable move to a 3-guard lineup. He doesn't fit." Bottom-line: decision is mutual.

Update just now on Joe Coleman from someone close to him: "Joe has asked for his release." #gophers

As first reported by @collegebbnews, word is Joe Coleman & Pitino will chat tomorrow. Nothing on Joe's future is set in stone yet. #gophers

Long hair or should I cut it? Beard or shave it?

Flip on Love: "I think in another week-&-a-half he'll be pretty much unlimited in what he can do physically." More: tinyurl.com/cdcpqof

Former Laker Mark Madsen hopes to land as an NBA coach. His current step on that path: the D-League's LA D-Fenders. foxsportswest.com/nba/los-angele…

According to a letter he posted on his website, Pau Gasol won't play for Spanish national team this summer after undergoing knee procedure.

And this press conference just devolved into Spanish. Where is Mickael Gelabale to speak to me in French when I need him?

Former Laker and new D-Fenders coach Mark Madsen on Kobe Bryant: "If they say he's going to get back in 9 months, he'll be back in 6."

Seriously debating spending my day watching Marc Gasol and Z-Bo gifs. I'm only 22 percent kidding.

Per Flip (just had him on @1500ESPN), he still has every reason to think Adelman will be back. Wife Mary Kay doing very well. #twolves

Aware of the #Gophers hoops transfer rumors. 1 source said he wouldn't be surprised, but didn't disclose a name. Aware of the name floating.

Pretty sure the x factor on this Grizzlies team is PR intern extraordinaire @CarolineBurles. No other way to explain it.

I get confused when Skip Bayless appears in my timeline and it's not an ironic retweet of something incorrect he tweeted days before.

"By year two, start dressing in a Minnesota Timberwolves road uniform and carrying a bird on your shoulder." online.wsj.com/article/SB1000…

I'm going to mute my TV and listen really closely, and maybe I will hear @realrobertmays sobbing over this game.

Alright, Heat and Bulls, I'm ready for a brawl or two. Let's go.

The #Twolves had R.J. Adelman scouting the Euroleague Final Four over the weekend in London.

We need to find out who the #NBA coach was -- wasn't Dallas' Carlisle -- who voted Mike James for 1st team All-Defense. Wow.

For some context, Tyson Chandler was DPOY (media votes) last year and also was relegated to All-Defensive Second Team (coaches vote).

Wait, Marc Gasol was DPOY (deservedly) and wasn't named All-Defensive First Team? Get your act together, NBA.

Can Mark Madsen perform this at halftime of LA D-Fenders games next season? No need for cheerleaders. youtube.com/watch?v=_1ciMX…

Days later, still trying to figure out the method to the B Roy released now madness. There has to be one. Otherwise, was a blunder. #twolves

There is no way the amount of Mad Men and Game of Thrones recaps I read on Monday mornings is anywhere remotely approaching healthy.

De camino a Senegal. Con muchas ganas de ver el gran trabajo que esta haciendo @baloncestofeb con proyectos como este.

FIU transfer Malik Smith is telling people that the #Gophers have offered. He's seeking a waiver to be eligible right away wherever he goes.

Can't believe that happened in NOLA .. Smh. #prayforneworleans

At the time of my last photo I was the best Little Tikes basketball player in the world.

The #MNTwins have now allowed 37 runs in the 1st inning. That's more than double any other inning.

Courageous of #Gophers OC Matt Limegrover to open up about his gastric bypass surgery. Great read by @JoeCStrib: tinyurl.com/c9o49y4

This is obviously the reason my father would only name me a monosyllabic name. Too bad I became a journalist. latimes.com/business/money…

Even if ex-Gopher & solid guy JB Bickerstaff doesn't get a job this offseason, invaluable to interview w/ Phil Jackson & Sen. Herb Kohl.

Something is happening at Busch Stadium right now and that's all I'm saying and stop accusing me of being superstitious.

I don't even have a clever way to finish the sentence "If Quinn Snyder gets the Bobcats job..." Oh, Missouri.

As to the notion that being visually stunning might redeem The Great Gatsby: No. That is all.

Iron man 3

btw, Flip's decision to go NBA/Wolves over Gophers looks even smarter with today's news that Seattle group ups offer for SacKings

Who's watching these games tonight? For #NBAPlayoffs action check out the @Sprint #NBA GameTime App bit.ly/WJccEN

Just curious...what was your favorite Brandon Roy moment as a Timberwolf?

Can't knock B Roy for failing in comeback bid with Wolves. One of the good guys in NBA. At least he gave it a shot. Best wishes to him!
