Timberwolves announcers (mostly)

[Mark Estepp <EsteppJM@appstate.edu>]

Thomas Murphy posted the article from Steve Aschburner of the Star 
Tribune.  If you listened to the game yesterday with the Timberwolves 
announcers (since the NBA package seems to always use home announcers) you 
probably picked up on what I heard.  They must have read this article 
because they pretty much quoted from it verbatim.

They really trashed Walker the whole game, or at least until the forth 
quarter when they somewhat sheepishly mentioned he was coming up on a 
triple double.  They compared him to  Derrick Coleman, w/o crediting 
Aschburner, who stated that in his article.

They also commented on some quarrels between Walker and Peirce, comparing 
them to the Shaq/Kobe wars.  I have not heard or seen that.

Anyway, as much as Heinson rahs-rahs the Celtics, I respect him and Gorman 
more each time I hear some other team's crew.....

One last word on Walker....  I said years ago that this guy just can't 
jump.  He does a good job of bullying his way to the rim, but he cannot 
power the ball through the rim.  No wonder he gets blocked so much.
