Mail Bag 3

Editor's Note: We're back with more answers to selected inquiries from you the fans. We appreciate you taking the time to write in, and while we may not get to each question, we certainly read all of them. We're at http://www.nba.com/timberwolves/fans/mail_bag.html waiting for more feedback from you.

Before we get started, we have a correction from a Mail Bag 2 answer:Uniform Correction:
We mistakenly implied that all NBA teams have an alternate road jersey in the last Mail Bag, but a source close to the team clarified the uniform situation for us. In fact, 22 out of 30 teams have second road jerseys. Teams are required to wear their alternate a minimum of six times and a maximum of 15 times. The Wolves have worn their alternate (black) more than the maximum after getting approval from the NBA. Minnesota has won only once in road blue (1-10).

Several other e-mailers suggested that we wear throwback jerseys, but this year the NBA created only seven "Hardwood Classics" throwbacks for the 30 teams. Those teams are required to wear those throwbacks twice at minimum, and can sport them no more than 10 times. Next year, nine NBA teams will have throwbacks made by Hardwood Classics.
