Wolves Limp into the All Star Break

After the second disappointing effort in as many games, the Wolves need this break almost as bad as the Lakers need a break. A week ago it looked as if this team was starting to put it together, they were playing with a high energy level. They actually won two games in a row on the road, without their top scorers. Then they come home and the last to games have shot the ball terrible, and given up way to many open threes and dunks. Minnesota has to be able to improve on the defensive side if they want to win more games. The Wolves seem to be limping into the All Star break. While Wes Johnson, who has been shooting the ball flat and off target lately, and Kevin Love go to LA for the rookie challenge and All Star Game, the rest of the team will rest. Jonny Flynn who looked to be improving after coming back form hip surgery took a step backwards and has been shut down for a week. He has general soreness. Flynn said, "It feels like I
am using rental legs out there." Flynn and Management agreed it would be best if he rested and tried to get his mind right. Beasley is still recovering from his ankle injury and his is missed out on the court. The offense runs through Beasley and the Wolves need him 100%  healthy.

Kahn has been open with this team and has said he wants much more out of the already productive Kevin Love and Michael Beasley. He wants them to take over the leadership role of the team. He wants Wes and Darko, and basically the rest of the team to play with consistency. This first half has been a failure, the Wolves have only won 13 of their first 53 games. Kahn wants them to show substantial improvement throughout the second half of the season. Pioneer Press's original Kahn wants more out of Beasley and Love article

I hope Kevin Love can impress at the All Star game and bring some credibility back to the Timberwolves. Hopefully Wes can find his shot in LA and bring it back to Minny, because we need him to shoot the ball with consistency.
