Randolph spent the first year of his life in Germany before his family moved to Pasadena, California, where he spent the majority of his childhood. Randolph attended schools in Pasadena as well as Little Rock, Arkansas before heading to Woodrow Wilson High School in Dallas, Texas. Anthony Randolph averaged 25.8 points and 12.6 rebounds as a senior.

February 22, 2011, Randolph was traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves in a three-way blockbuster deal which also involved Denver Nuggets that brought Carmelo Anthony to New York.

Join Anthony Randolph at the Target Center this season.

Wolves Playoffs 2012-13

A recent poll on ESPN asked, if KLove and Rubio stay healthy, whether or not the Wolves will make the playoffs next year. An overwhelming portion of the nation said 'yes'.

Why not preview a future playoff contending team? The Wolves play the Oklahoma City Thunder tomorrow at the Target Center!

Kevin Love, Wolves Lose to Trail Blazers

It is a rare sight to see a game where Kevin Love is outplayed by his opponent. LaMarcus Aldridge accomplished the task in the low post with a 26-point, eight-rebound effort. The Trail Blazers won 119-106.

Love finished with 26 points and nine rebounds, but Minnesota lost for the third time in four games.

Despite the loss, the Wolves were still exciting to watch.

Kevin Love Rocks the Nuggets

Kevin Love followed up his 51-point game with 30 points and 21 rebounds to lead the Timberwolves to a victory over the Denver Nuggets.

The Wolves racked up 68 points in the first half and never looked back on Sunday in 117-100 win over the Nuggets at the Target Center. With a sellout crowd of 20,032 the Minnesota Timberwolves handled the Western Conference's eighth-seeded team from start to finish and took one step closer to grabbing a playoff spot.

Adelman recognized that the Timberwolves needed this win to stay alive in the playoff picture. Not only that, but the Wolves will need to put forth similar efforts the rest of the year.

Key Wolves Rockets Matchups

With the Houston Rockets coming to the Target Center, look for these key matchups on the court:

Point guard: Kyle Lowry vs Ricky Rubio
Advantage? Rockets

Shooting guard: Courtney Lee vs Luke Ridnour
Advantage? Rockets

Forward: Chandler Parsons vs Wesley Johnson
Advantage? Wolves

Forward: Luis Scola vs Kevin Love
Advantage? Wolves

Center: Samuel Dalembert vs Nikola Pekovic
Advantage? Rockets

Who will come out on top? It appears, according to me rough estimates, the Rockets are holding the advantage over the Wolves' starting five. However, I think with Adelman's experience with Houston, the Wolves will take the win. Wolves 99-94.

Target Center waiting for NBA Action

Will there be an NBA action in the Target Center this year?

When the NFL was in potential-lockout mode, it was all anyone could talk about. Fans were staying updated on free agents, rookies and the daily negotiations. There were news posts everyday and an endless stream of questions signaling fans couldn't get enough information.

The NBA lockout? Not so much.

What's the deal? It appears fans don't care so much about the NBA lockout and that they would rather check their football fantasy draft instead. Are people 'over' the NBA or is it just the frustration of standstill after standstill and the NBA just happens to be the most recent in a long stream? Very few people care about the lockout.

I think there exists a combination of both a lack of interest and a surplus of disgust. Owners and players need to be careful and realize with the economy and so many other options to steal away a fan's disposable income, that they don't think it will always 'just work out'.

What do you think? Give me your thoughts! I would love to hear them.

NBA Lockout and the Target Center

Training camps are set to open October 2nd. The preseason game about a week after that.

The last time the NBA had a lockout was for the 1998-1999 season... back when Dr. Jack Kevorkian was found guilty of second-degree murder, Internet Explorer version 5 was released, Y2K was a huge problem and bluetooth was announced.

How did that lockout work?

The basic agreement was reached on January 6th and was finalized later that month on the 20th. At that point the lockout officially ended. Training camps opened and negotiations with free agency players began, even the pre-season games followed within the week. The 50-game regular season started on February 5.

There was 30 days between the agreement and the beginning of the regular season. This season is set to start on November 2. To keep the timeline, we would need to get everything in order by October 2.

Can it happen? What are your thoughts?



At least the Target Center will remain the Target Center as the arena and the corporate giant renewed their naming agreement; the Timberwolves will have a home to return to!

Timberwolves Exercise Options for Wesley Johnson, Lazar Hayward, Wayne Ellington


The Minnesota Timberwolves have announced today that they are exercising the options for Lazar Hayward, Wesley Johnson, and Wayne Ellington. One of them makes sense, the other two don't. By exercising the options, they guarantee that the wolves will be able to keep them all through the 2012-2013 season.

They had to pick up the 3rd year option for Wes Johnson. It was an obvious move. He was pretty good last year and has a ton of potential and they invested a ton of their future into him.

Lazar Hayward? Are you kidding me? Here's the problem I have with this, this is an example of Kahn simply being stubborn. Admit you screwed up with Lazar Hayward and that he isn't an NBA player.

Wayne Ellington makes some sense. He is a pretty good three point shooter, something this team needs, but he is nothing more than that. You just have to say when you're making these decisions. is this guy a part of our future? The answer with Ellington is clearly no.

Hopefully the Wolves made the moves in hopes of trading these two guys, but here's what I think: they won't get jack back for these two. Nobody wants them.

The Minneapolis Target Center set to get a green roof

The Target Center in an effort to be more eco-friendly is proposing a Green Roof. The plan would include a growing zone 2.75 inches thick for much of the 115,000-square-foot main roof and 3.5 inches in a 32-foot-wide edge where there's more structural support...

The investment, will take longer to become cost effective than the current Minnesota Timberwolves contract is slated to last, begging the question if it really is a good investment. Some critics are saying that the structure may not be suited for a green roof and the Target Center is doing anything and everything it can to stay in the press and viable while it loses the scheduling battle for summer concerts with the Xcel Energy Center.

Target Center Events Calendar looks a little bare compared to other venues

Outside View of the Target Center
Despite being just miles from each other the Target Center in Minneapolis and the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul are two totally different venues. The Target Center has a busy downtown feel that always seems to have something going on. The Xcel Energy Center in contrast has a just down the street vibe that makes the large scale venue feel much smaller.

Typically both venues have a spring and summer concert schedule that is non-stop. However, the Target Center Concert Schedule this spring seems to be a bit lacking in comparison to the Xcel Energy Center Concert Schedule. The Target Center is bringing in big names like Daughtryand Nickelback. But when compared to the Xcel Energy Center who has Taylor Swift, Bon Jovi, John Mayer, James Taylor and Carole King, and Michael Buble the Target Center seems a little empty.

If you are a loyal Target Center patron, I would suggest taking in some Minnesota Timberwolves games now, while there are still lots on the Target Center Calendar because after the Minnestoa Timberwolves Season the Target Center Schedule is going to start looking a little sparse.

Minnesota Timberwolves play the best at home in the Target Center

Minnesota Timberwolves Player dunking the ballNo one would argue that the Minnesota Timberwolves got off to a rough start this season, with several losses and lots of almosts... the MN Timberwolves made it hard to find the desire to go to the Target Center. Things are looking up though, with several wins in December, most of them at home... The Minnesota Timberwolves seem to be setteling into the new offense, new coach and new players.

And the Target Center couldn't be happier. The Minnesota Timberwolves are a huge part of the Target Center schedule, and no venue wants a loser taking up most of the scheduled events. With several home games coming up on the Minnesota Timbewolves Schedule, the Target Center Seating Chart is bound to start getting more and more full.... its a great catch-22. The more the Minneosta Timberwolves Roster wins, the more people want to go to Minnesota Timberwolves Games, the more people that want to go to Minnesota Timberwolves Games at the Target Center, the harder it is to get Target Center Tickets and the fewer people can go...

So my advice: The Minneosta Timberwolves are still are pretty tightly held secret, there are lots of opportunites to see the Twolves at home in the Target Center, scoop up Target Center Tickets today before the rush sets in!

Minnesota Timberwolves at Target Center

The Minnesota Timberwolves have quite a few home games coming up the next few weeks. In fact if you check out the Target Center Schedule, you will notice one Timberwolves game after another in the next few weeks. Biggest Game? A week from today when the Timberwolves host the Boston Celtics. Kevin Garnett back in Minneapolis, the Timberwolves definitely have something to prove since he has already proved he is Championship material.

You can buy Timberwolves Tickets from a number of places, but as far as brokers go, I would go with the Timberwolves Tickets web site – they seem to be the cheapest.

Casual Timberwolves fans know that the Wolves have competed in most games this season, and now that the Wolves are on a winning streak, fans might come down to the Target Center all at once for a hot weekend ticket. Come down to the Target Center and see a Timberwolves game. The Target Center is proud to boast that the Timberwolves play on one of only three parquet floors in the NBA!

Parking is easy access and cheap at the Target Center

One thing you can’t really complain about at the Target Center is the bountiful ramp parking around the arena. There are three ramps behind the Target Center that are all connected to the Minneapolis skyway system, making it easy for Minnesota Timberwolves fans to not have to step outside in the freezing Minnesota winter. With the Timberwolves not doing so hot this season, parking prices at the ramps and Timberwolves tickets themselves are cheaper than ever. A night out at the Target Center to see the Timberwolves has never been such a deal. Go see a Timberwolves game. They usually compete but brace your self for fourth quarters.
