The Timberwolves have seen more pingpong balls than Taiwan's national table tennis team.
That was their 11th straight lottery. Can you imagine? They have played NBA lotto so often they should have a scratch-off ticket created in their honor. Maybe it could be a knockoff of one of the existing Minnesota lottery games but with a distinct Timberwolves twist, something like "Unlucky For Life" or "Northstar Crash."
Meanwhile, they say there's a better chance of being struck by lightning than winning the lottery. And for years we prayed that the Timberwolves representatives at lotto headquarters were wearing rubber shoes and carrying ground wires.
