Game #60, Home Game #31, Minnesota 117, Lakers 107 (2 OT) 1. So Pretty No Timberwolves player has been ripped as royally by myself and those responding to my treys this season as “Pretty Ricky” Davis, who has been dubbed either directly or by inference as a cancer, a coach killer, a corroder of chemistry, … Read more
