Here’s a case of turning lemons into lemonade.  Wolves forward Ricky Davis’ quote about the Blazers being “roaches” was the subject of some scorn in the media and among some fans, but it also spurned a local pest control company to infiltrate the Target Center. 

After Timberwolves guard Ricky Davis‘ recent reference to the Portland Trail Blazers as “roaches,” Fridley-based Plunkett’s Pest Control bought 200 tickets for Tuesday’s game against Portland at Target Center. The pest control employees wore their green uniform jackets, minus the spray devices, and were well-behaved in their seats near the rafters. (Charley Walters)

As the Wolves struggle at the gate we will be looking if they embrace the Pest Control guys, or ask Ricky to continue to reference opposing teams in ways that can increase attendance.
