NBA standout and new Minnesota Timberwolves team member Mike Miller announced today a generous philanthropic campaign this season to help cure juvenile diabetes. Miller unveiled the Mike Miller Shoot for the Cure. For every successful three-point field goal scored during home games this regular season, the Mike Miller Foundation will donate $100 to help find a cure for type 1 diabetes, also known as juvenile diabetes. Proceeds will be directed to the Sanford Project.


Wittman will wait until shortly before tip-off to announce his starting lineup, but all indications are that Ryan Gomes will open at power forward ahead of rookie Kevin Love.

“Right now, I would assume we’re going to start Ryan Gomes,” Love said.

Except for senior night at UCLA, Love said he couldn’t remember not starting a game before but that he’s ready to come off the bench and work his way into the lineup.


Britt Robson/On The Ball posted his team season preview.
The Minnesota Timberwolves will miss the playoffs for the fifth year in a row this season and will probably finish in the range of 20 games below .500. If you're a fair weather fan, check back next year. But if you love pro hoops, and are interested in being present for the early stages of a planful rebuilding, that avoids quick fixes in favor trying to create something solid and satisfying, well, that might be happening at the Target Center in 2008-09...


The Wolves string of 12 straight home opener wins came to and end last season with a loss to Denver at the Target Center.

Minnesota went 2-1 vs. the Kings last season. Ron Artest only played in one of those games...a Wolves win.

Brad Miller and Sebastian Telfair will both miss tonight's game due to suspension. Neither is allowed in the building to watch the game.


Kevin Love was at the City Center Starbucks in downtown Minneapolis Tuesday morning serving coffee and other drinks to customers. Most of the patrons received a nice surprise when Love gave them two tickets to Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Although he said it may be an option for a second job, Kevin said he likes his current career a little better.
