The Timberwolves have been a different team this year.The team is much more exciting to watch, and the fans of Minnesota think so too. Over the past few weeks Target Center has been looking like it did 7 years ago, the lower level is full and the upper level is 3/4 full. It is great for the Timberwolves who are exciting to watch and seem to have the talent to win, or be in every game. The only problem facing this team is that they seem to fold every time midway through the fourth quarter. The Wolves look to be getting a little better at the problem after winning 2 of their last three games, but the fourth quarter fold happened again last night against the Nuggets. The Wolves were winning throughout most of the game, and they were only down by 2 with 2 minutes to go in the game, but the Wolves were unable to get a stop. This young Wolves squad seems to be able to score almost at will, but last night it was Billups who was scoring at will when it counted most. The Wolves would always make a big three or play to take the lead or tie, and the next possession Billups would follow with a three of his own to take the momentum back. I am hoping these fourth quarter woes are a results from the inexperience of the team. Once the wolves can figure out how to properly close out a game they will be dangerous. I like the young core of guys this team has. Beasley and Love have stepped up and are sharing the role of Alpha Wolf. Wes Johnson seems to be getting more comfortable out on the floor, and Webster has shown he came help this team in the scoring and defensive departments.
The wolves seem to be on the right track, and i think the more this team plays together the better they will be. Remember this is the first time many of these young guys have ever played with each other. I have been extremely impressed with the emergence of Love. He has an outstanding motor on him, he will not be denied if he wants a rebound. Although he is a bit undersized he is still able to get his shot off and showed it again last night with a 26 point 14 rebound performance. You can almost chalk up Beasley getting 20+ points a game, and he has improved his team play of late getting 6 assists and 4 assists in his last 2 games. Ridnour has been playing well of late, but still seems to have some bad turnovers.
One disappointment the wolves star rookie of last year has not had the comeback most fans have hoped for. since his return he is only averaging 17 minutes a game. Last night against the Nuggets he only had 11 minutes. Being a big Jonny Flynn fan i am hoping he can get more time and look like the player he looked like last year.
Rumor Mill- there has been some rumors going around that the wolves are interested in trading for OJ Mayo, a player who seems to be under performing for the Grizzlies only averaging 13 points and 1.8 assists per game. The Wolves have came out and shot this rumor down. Flynn's name has and will continue to come up in trade rumors because the Wolves figure to have Rubio coming over next year and many teams have shown interest in Flynn. The Wolves covet Flynn and i dont expect them to trade him for nothing.
