Ok not really, but kind of. Our steady leader has tendered his resignation and is taking a well deserved internet break. We should all be so wise. Anyway, in case you missed it the announcement and...

What can we even say about this past season other than it simply made no sense. At the beginning of the season it seemed that we were really into something good: And then everyone got hurt. ...

We are at the end of the season and have now had plenty of opportunities to dissect the Arizona music scene. If you think of anything that was missed please feel free to share it. Instead I will...

From Bucher via Hoopshype: "Brandon Roy is travelling with the Timberwolves and while he doesn't expect to play Wednesday at the Clippers or Friday in Utah, he told me he's hoping to play at...

Perhaps it seems like we just did this because we just did. Still the show must go on. Anyway, we could probably stick to Motown even if Detroit were in our conference AND we played them in a seven...

We all know the legend of the mythical Phoenix. From the ashes of it's predecessor a new Phoenix is born and so forth. Something like this. Ok, I'm not really up my my Mythology but it involves a...

Well folks, as the season wears on and we find our beloved Timberwolves revisiting teams they have already played we are forced to find new ways to celebrate the music associated with our on court...

Hi everyone. No work today so I finally got around to doing something I have been meaning to do for a long time- make a new batch of Garam Masala. Please allow me to first state for the record that...

Say what you want about Dvid Stern but it seems to this writer that he has achieved at least one of his obvious goals. The 2013 version of the NBA includes oodles and oodles of international...

While performing a move in the first 20 minutes of the workout, he felt something in his right knee that he has felt far too often. He tweaked it, eliminating any possibility of him returning to...

Note: I am purposely jumping the gun on this a bit in case someone else has a more specific post planned for the rich musical locale of Los Angeles. When I was preparing for this post...

This Friday the Minnesota Timberwolves will be hosted by the New Orleans Hornets Pelicans. The way I see it we Minnesota based fans will have two primary options for getting down to the gulf to...

It is a well established fact that there are a host of great writers here on Canis Hoopus and while I will not be so bold as to suggest that I am myself a great writer I am willing to include...

I was just reading this Simmons article on Lebron James and it got me to thinking "what does LBJ need to accomplish to take the greatest ever label away from MJ?" First is it safe to assume that...

I titled this post in honor of my historic first ever Canis Hoopus post titled “What to Do With #2” exploring possible trade options for the number two pick that eventually landed the M...

Hello all, here goes my effort to give back to the Canis Hoopus community by way of working up a season’s end analysis of the Houston Rockets. I think it goes without saying that I am no fan of...

Spoiler alert- this post brings nothing new to the table. Like many NBA fans I love the trade deadline. One of the more exciting things about the NBA, in my opinion, is the existence of crazy...

So here are my grades for the Wolves/Rockets game complete with my own personal bias and misperceptions. In general I am more of a intuition evaluator than stats guy so please be aware of that. One...

Over the past several years few friends and I have been lucky enough to get out of town to see a few NBA games in other cites. We have been to Memphis, Milwaukee, Chicago and last year even made...
