    What a terrible loss. The only success that franchise ever experienced was on his watch.

    Wow, the way it was reported it didn't sound good, but I didn't realize it was this dire.

    RIP

    Haven't been paying close attention to the situation, but I thought it was treatable and looked good for him and that he might return next season. Read some quotes along those lines. Very sad news. RIP Flip.

    I had no idea he had cancer. From what I read he was only diagnosed back in August. Very sad news to hear.

    Wow. Just saw the Timberwolves preview yesterday and thought "I wonder how long Flip's gonna be out, they maybe a good team this year". Is this joke?
