B Easy Beasley

Lately the Wolves have been playing a little better basketball. They had an extremely tough stretch starting with Miami where the got beat by about 30 points a night, but we wont talk about that. The story that is happening now is in California. The youngest team in basketball played exceptionally well against the defending champs on Tuesday night. They where doing it with the same type of Defense that we had seen throughout the preseason. The players seemed to be more emotional out on the court the past two games against the Lakers and Kings. Love was the story of the game after the Lakers where he had his second career 20 20 effort.

2nd win of the season, Wolves/Kings Highlights

The Timberwolves beat the Kings last night in a game that gets Timberwolves' fans excited about this young squad. They did it again with defense and a little help from their young star Michael Beasley. Beasley poured in 18 first quarter points and ended the game with 42. Beasley could not miss in that first quarter. He is the one player the wolves can always turn too if they need a bucket. He can create his own shot, and he demonstrated that last night. It was not just his offense that helped the Timberwolves win it was his energy and leadership on the defensive end of the floor. He was often yelling across the court trying to help his teammates. This team has many good young players and i would love it if some of them could step it up and become that alpha wolf we have been looking for. Wes Johnson has been responding well to his role in the starting line up, and Brewer seems to be making more of an impact when he is on the court lately. 
Telfair has played exceptionally well after being inserted into the starting lineup because of injuries. In LA he had 13 and 9 and he too has brought a swagger and leadership to this young team.

The best part is that the Timberwolves have two of there top four players out with injury right now, Flynn and Webster. That is extremely important especially for the Timberwolves team who do not have a extreme amount of developed talent on their roster right now. Once they get those two skilled players back i look forward to more nights like last night against the Kings.
