Dos grandes pasos por Texas (or: "TWolves Texas Two-Step")

1/2/2012

Amigos y amigas españoles: ¿Cuán sorprendente es vencer a los dos equipos más poderosos de Texas? Tanto sorprende como agrada. Oiganme. Ya les conté que los Mavericks quedaron campeones de la temporada pasada. Y los Spurs de San Antonio posean 4 trofeos desde empezo la época Tim Duncan en 1999.

Ádemas, Texas tiene fama de arrogancia y privilegio respeto a los deportes (ok, no solo en los deportes). Tienen tres equipos de basket profesional, dos de beisbol, y dos del fútbol estadounidense. Hasta que de los Minnesotanos nos robaron un equipo de hockey - ¡al desierto de Dallas! - hubiese sido como mudar Real Madrid a Canada. Esas cosas no se deben hacer.

Así que ver los Timberwolves, uno de los clubes más pateticos y desesperados en la historia del NBA, ganar dos consecutivas EN TEXAS, pues, aún es temprano para celebrar, todavía esta temporada corta y confusa apenas ha arrancada, y hay que tener en cuenta que faltan meses para saber en realidad de que consiste este conjunto de jovenes talentosos... pero esta noche yo y mis compañeros Wolves Fans Minnesotanos nos sentimos bien. Muy bien.

Friends in Spain: How surprising is it to defeat the two most powerful teams in Texas? As surprising as it is satisfying. Hear me. I already told you the Mavs were last year's champs. And the Spurs possess 4 titles since the Tim Duncan era began in 1999.

What's more: Texas is known for arrogance and privilege when it comes to sports (ok, not just sports). They have three NBA teams, two baseball, and two football. They even robbed Minnesota of a hockey team - took them to the Dallas desert - which would be like moving Real Madrid to Canada. These things shouldn't happen.

So to see the Timberwolves, one of the most pathetic and hopeless franchises in NBA history, win back-to-back games IN TEXAS. Well, it's still early to celebrate, this strange and shortened season has barely begun, and keep in mind that many months remain to determine what this talented young group is made of... but tonight, my fellow Timberlobos fans and I are feeling muy bien.
