The Timberwolves are in a rebuilding year, and everyone knows it. And despite this, losing is hard, and is never fun for players or fans. So let's pick out some good things. Kevin Love and Al Jefferson both in double figures This is a good ...

There are a lot of players you could vote for on the 2010 NBA All Star ballot. Not all of them, however, are worth it. Two guards, two forwards, and one center will be voted in on each team by the fans. Two guards, two forwards, a center, and two other players, regardless of position, will be voted in by the coaches. In the event of an injury, the coaches will decide the ...

Surely, the Minnesota Timberwolves have been building this team up for something to happen. This 7-24 team isn't going to stay with the same roster forever. In fact, in the upcoming off-season, the roster will look like this: Al Jefferson, Kevin Love, Jonny Flynn, Wayne Ellington, Corey Brewer, Ryan Gomes, Ryan Hollins, and Ramon Sessions. Not bad, but could be a lot better. At the Wolves current pace, they will have at ...

In the 2009 All-Star game, no Western Conference All-Stars came from below .500 teams. In the East, it was only Danny Granger, Devin Harris, and Chris Bosh. But there are a lot of All-Stars that generally don't get the vote because their teams are struggling. Here's a hypothetical look at the All-Star game featuring only non-playoff teams (Chi, Cha, Ind, NY, Was, Phi, NJ, OKC, NO, LAC, Sac, Mem, GS, Min) EAST: C- Brook ...

After last night's win over Sacramento, the Timberwolves are 5-22. They are on pace to win 15 games. Not a fantastic goal record (15-67). A few of statistics from their season so far: The Wolves started out 1-15. They are 4-7 since. The Wolves were 2-16 without Kevin Love. They are 3-5 with him. Combining those two "after" statistics, the Wolves are scheduled to win 24 more games, ending them at 29-53. This seems like ...

It seems to be the case in the first few games he came back. But it can go even further than just the fact that a star is back. The Wolves were a shorthanded scoring team. Love can shoot. He proved that last season, and is proving it again after his injury, knocking down a three-pointer against the Jazz. We need his scoring ability down low. Which brings me to the post. The Wolves ...
