NBA Wolves

[dutchboy]

Does anybody know what a ticket to a Wolves game costs these days? Last game I was at was at the Metrodome. I was in the Bob Uecker seats in the "top row" and the players looked like little toy army guys running around.

i know there isnt many, if any, NBA followers here, but it's all over MSN, SportsCenter, even brought up during the gophers game, but one time Timberwolves player, Jimmy Butler, who plays for Miami now has been suspended from the team for 7 games because of conduct detrimental to the team.  and is on the trading block.

not sure any team would really want him. a helllofa basketball player but a total  :moon:wipe!!!! he was when he was here! self centered jerk!!!!!!

NBA should suspend a bunch of those guys for being detrimental to the game. But yes Jimmy is extra special for sure.

I'm leaning more and more towards all the athletes of the major 4 sports being on a year to year contract vs these long term deals. Pay them their boatload of money and participate in an insurance policy with the player that if they get hurt they are protected. But at the end of the year both the team or player walk away. Have a great year and you are a free agent. Be a tool and you're taking a pay cut the following year.

I just looked, db, & their next home game is against the LA Clippers. According to ESPN the cheapest tickets available is $16 but when I click on the ticket info it says they're $23 with fees included. It looks like all those tickets are for the corners of the upper level too.

Since this is a basketball thread I have a serious question.

Do NBA fans view todays game as a real sport or more as entertainment along the lines of WWE and wrestling? Both with amazing athletes but the tables tilted towards the stars. Opinion?
