Timberwolves.com:

• Istanbul Update #1 from PR Director Mike Cristaldi. Apparently the Efes Pilsen facility doubles as a brewery. It's also good to hear that Mad Dog and Craiggers are getting in some training, despite their injuries. Also, I no longer doubt that Ricky was sick on Media Day.
• Euro Live Journal from Roc Babcock, Part 2. Apparently Rob Babcock has what he calls "bagatitis." [Insert inappropriate joke here]. He also reports about Mad Dog and Smith working out. Apparently, Craig was working out in the pool after dinner... at 11 pm. That's great news.

Marc Stein @ FourLetter.com released his first power ranking of the season. The Wolves are last. Thirtieth.
