Minnesota Timberwolves: Is Flip Saunders The Right Choice To Replace David Kahn?
The Minnesota Timberwolves have brought back a familiar face as their new President of Basketball Operations. Flip Saunders has returned to the Timberwolves and will look to relive some of the glory days of the organization, where he is still the leader in coaching victories, with a 411-326 record. Owner Glen Taylor didn’t waste much time in hiring Saunders, due to his comfort level with him. Working at a high level in the NBA requires a lot of trust and communication, and Saunders will be able to instantly provide that level of...
read moreMinnesota Timberwolves: Should the Wolves Consider Trading Kevin Love?
Even after Kevin Love broke his hand during the preseason, there were some people out there who were still bullish on the Minnesota Timberwolves’ chances in 2012-13. Sports Illustrated’s Paul Forrester picked the Timberwolves as his surprise team in the NBA this season: “Despite the early-season absences of Kevin Love and Ricky Rubio, there are a lot of reasons to believe the Wolves will still reach the playoffs for the first time since 2004. There’s Rick Adelman, whose history as a turnaround artist is as underrated as his offensive schemes....
read moreNBA: Ranking the 10 Worst Shooting Guards in the NBA
Today teams in the NBA are constructed carefully and tactfully. Ranking the best shooting guards in the league is no easy task. Some of these players are not full-time starters and are filling in due to injuries. Other teams have great point guards and do not need a backcourt partner next to them that is better than average. Without further ado, these are the 1o worst starting shooting guards in the NBA today. 10. Rodney Stuckey, Detroit Pistons On Wednesday, April 10, the Pistons were without Jose Calderon. They made do and actually won the...
read moreLos Angeles Clippers: Could Minnesota Timberwolves Be 2013-14 Playoff Foe?
Where are we? This place seems so familiar. The Minnesota Timberwolves and Los Angeles Clippers are facing each other and we’re thinking it could be a playoff primer for next year. Haven’t we seen this before? Ah, this is how I remember it: That was back on Jan. 20, 2012, on ESPN, when the Timberwolves appeared to officially reintroduce themselves to the basketball world. Kevin Love was primed to become a megastar, Ricky Rubio was the next big thing and the Timberwolves finally had something to be excited about. If you asked me on...
read moreMinnesota Timberwolves: Ricky Rubio Gambling For Steals And Losing
Ricky Rubio has been gambling for steals a lot lately and he’s losing. For those who haven’t been paying close attention, Rubio now qualifies for the league steals title and is percentage points ahead of Chris Paul. Rubio is averaging 2.43 steals per game, but it’s coming at the expense of his other defensive responsibility. I hear you asking me, “How can he be losing when he’s leading the league in steals?” Defensive statistics can be quite dicey. On a team that’s as effective as a turnstile...
read moreNBA: Top 10 Power Forwards Playing In The NBA
The power forward position in the NBA is a mixture of all sorts of shapes, sizes and skills. Think back to the days of the “Round Mound of Rebound,” Charles Barkley, who dominated the boards at 6’6″. Kevin McHale, who left defenders dazed and confused with a flurry of post moves, and of course the bruiser that was the Mailman, Karl Malone, who’s second all-time in points scored. Today the game is blessed to have just as much if not more variety at the position, such as the introduction of “tweeners,”...
read moreNBA: One Player Each Team Can’t Do Without
The phrase “franchise player” gets thrown around a lot. Teams usually have a player that encapsulates what the franchise is about. They help sell tickets, bring in new fans and most importantly — win games. Let’s look at one player each team in the NBA couldn’t manage without. Atlanta Hawks: Al Horford Al Horford is a very underrated player. A very skilled big man, Horford doesn’t get the attention of frontcourt mate Josh Smith — perhaps due to J-Smoove’s dunks — but he is definitely more of an elite performer....
read moreMinnesota Timberwolves: Why Kevin Love Should Shut It Down For The Year
Kevin Love is still recuperating from a fractured right hand. He suffered the injury in a Jan. 3 game against the Indiana Pacers. It is in the best interest for the Minnesota Timberwolves to shut down Kevin Love. It wouldn’t make sense for the 24-year-old Love to come back to finish the season. The Timberwolves’ record is 25-44, last in the Northwest Division. They are destined for the lottery and have a slim chance to make an impact in the final stretch. Jerry Zgoda of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reported Love will have his hand re-examined...

Phoenix is in the middle of a four-game home stand and look to bounce back after a lethargic...
read moreMinnesota Timberwolves: Can Ricky Rubio become the next Jason Kidd?
Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Ricky Rubio is developing into quite the player. Averaging 9.6 points and 7.2 assists a game, the 23-year-old Rubio has double-digit performances in the past four games. It started with a triple-double in a 107-83 victory against the Sacramento Kings on March 12. Rubio scored 21 points, grabbed 13 boards and got 12 assists that game. Rubio reminds fans of a young Jason Kidd, mimicking his ball-handling skills and just like Kidd, Rubio is focused on defense as well as offense. Yet, one question comes to mind....
