Though it is easy to be greatly disappointed in the Minnesota Timberwolves, let's not forget what there is to look forward to. We no longer have Kevin McHale, who was the downfall of our team for so many years. We have a coach with a goal and solid experience with the Los Angelos Lakers, and an owner who is realistic about our future by purchasing ad space in the Star Tribune saying that we will not be winning a championship this year.
Our current record is 3-9 (1-7 on the road). We have had a rough schedule, we played back to back road games against the Heat and Magic, we have already played the Lakers, played the Hawks twice and the Rockets. All of these teams have playoff potential. Minus the games in Florida, though, we have kept up with our competition. We only lost by a few points to the Lakers, tonight's was only three points, and our players are gelling together well. Let's not forget about Kevin Love's 31 point 31 rebound game last week either setting a mark that hadn't been reached since 1982. Beasley is also playing to the potential we anticipated from his one year at Kansas State. Beasley is averaging 20.5 points per game, and had a 42 point outburst last week. Love is the league leader in rebounds, and Milicic is 5th in the league in rebounding.
If you have given up on the Wolves for the year, be patient, we are in a rebuilding process and our record is worse than it shows. We will come around, we are a fun team to watch. Go Wolves!
