Hey everyone I just started an NBA blog with my friends and I am covering the northwest. I feel that the best way to learn about a team is to talk to its fans (other than watching it). So I have some questions for you guys and if you would answer them it would help out a lot.

Do you think the Timberwolves are a playoff team this year?
Do you think the Wolves will make a trade?
If they make a trade what do you think they should target? Who should they deal?
Who has been the biggest pleasant surprise on your team and who has been worse than expected?

Thanks a ton in advance. This week in my weekly northwest round up I went over one overachiever and underachiever for each team pickandpopdiaries.blogspot.com/2012/12/n...ion-round-up_30.html. More importantly than reading my blog I want your opinion so I can improve future blog posts.

Q: Do you think the Timberwolves are a playoff team this year?

A: Yes, 7 or 8 seed


Q: Do you think the Wolves will make a trade? If they make a trade what do you think they should target? Who should they deal?

A: They will probably do something small. Williams or Ridnour for someone. No clue who they would target.


Q: Who has been the biggest pleasant surprise on your team and who has been worse than expected?

A: Biggest surprise is easily Alexey Shved. Biggest disappointment would have to be Kevin Love. Playing like crap, talking shit about the team to reporters, constantly missing games because of being "sick" and other nonsense.

I agree with this on both counts. I would also name AK47 & Dante CunningHAM as pleasant surprises.

Do you think the Timberwolves are a playoff team this year?

YES! Absolute best case, 6th seed. Probably 7th or 8th.

If they make a trade what do you think they should target? Who should they deal?

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. If this board had its way, Kevin Love would be the one shipped out. It would make sense that it is Derrick Williams, but I would bet against a trade. So get ready for the 2nd half of the season with nowhere for Derrick Williams to play, losing confidence by the day and trade value by the hour.

RH is right, gots to be Shved. for all his mojo with the ball, he even tries on defense! What do ya know, a wing who tries on BOTH ends! The Wolves only have one other guard who tries that and he's not going to be right until well into the Spring.

CunningHAM is only surprising to people who have never watched him. He's doing what he's always done. AK is doing what we should have expected. He's got plenty left in the tank and shame on us for doubting him.

Kevin Love has been a disaster. There have been maybe 4 games in his almost 20 games this year that he's not been a complete detriment to the team. As Bonk said, he's pissed away 1/3 of the season while yapping off at the mouth and just being genuinely unlikable. He broke his hand being an idiot, let's be real. Get your sh*t together "Greatness".
