Wolves Woes

The Timberwolves have shown throughout this season that they have the ability to play with any team in the NBA, with the exception of a few blowout losses. The wolves recently been on a little winning streak winning 3 of their last 4 games, but since then they have lost their last 5. We all know about the Timberwolves 4th quarter struggles so i am not going to hit on that topic. The Wolves almost pulled out the win in San Antonio, a team they have been close to beating twice already this year, without their star scorer Michael Beasley. Beasley left the game after re-tweaking his ankle. He did not return. The Wolves had kept the game within winning distance and ended up losing by three to one of the best teams in the entire NBA. The Wolves had two three point attempts that were in and out in the final minutes of the game and lost by three.

Kevin Love continues to put up all star numbers averaging 21.5 points and 15.7 boards a game. If you can remember back to KG, that is the exact type of numbers he used to put up. Although they have a completely different method of getting their numbers, they both are efficient.

The Timberwolves have and will continue to be mentioned with the word trade up until the trade deadline. The trade talks involving the Wolves and OJ Mayo are no more. The Wolves interest stopped before his altercation on the plane. Their have been numerous reports that the wolves have had many teams interested in Jonny Flynn. I think Flynn will be a good player in this league if he is given the time. I think he has the scoring ability to play the game like Chauncey Billups. That is who reminds me of right now, how Billups used to look on the Timberwolves before we let him go. The trade rumor that has the best chance of being completed is for Anthony Randolph of the New York Knicks. The Timberwolves have coveted the young athletic PF since last summer. He has been lost on the bench in New York, and recent reports have the wolves offering Telfair.The Knicks have been said to want Ridnour in return. Corey Brewers name has also been brought up in trade rumors, He is a free agent after this year and if the Wolves want to get anything in return for him they will trade him. They extended everyone options early this year except Brewers. With Brewer getting the start last night many people have been saying it was to increase his trade value. Rambis said he wanted to reward Brewer for his outstanding defensive effort over the past week.
