Again, if it's in the wrong forum, sorry. But, anyways, what's up with them? This team made so many substantial moves in the offseason to become a contender and they've looked like anything but so far. They have a subpar 4-4 record, and, we all know where a .500 record in the West, and that's nowhere. But, this team is loaded with offensive talent across the board. Garnett, Spree, Cassell, Wally, Hudson (injured though). I don't understand how this team is not winning. And, to top it off, not scoring. Last I knew they were averaging a dismal 79 ppg. And, with all that offensive talent, that number should be a lot higher. But, nonetheless, it is only 8 games in. So, you have to think that eventually this team will start clicking and win some games. Cause, with all that skill from position to position, you're bound to put together some type of run. And, I truly think they will. The only question is when.
Wally's injured, Olowokandi has looked awful (had offseason surgey i know but still) and they haven't gelled yet. Just goes to prove a team of champions isn't always a champion team.....They should improve once they get Wally and Hudson back and have time to get used to eachother. 4-4 isn't that bad either.

Couldn't have put it better myself.

Eh, I just found out Wally was injured after I posted this. And, I stated something about Hudson's injury in there I do believe. But, yea, I agree, they will improve.
Thud, really needs to come back Cassell is playing way to many minutes on an injured foot he is playing like close to 40 minutes a game and spree is injured 2 they need thud to come back and take a few minutes off of both of them. they need to try and stay above .500 until thud, and Wally come back. Mcleod is a nice 3 string insurance point but he cant play major minutes or play any minutes a the 2, this really messes up the guard rotation. I dont think its hurting the t-wolves as much on the offensive end as it is hurting them on defense. The t wolves are having a hard time stoping penetration at the end of games. And Olwokandi has brought nothing this season. T wolves have a long way to go but once they get their they are gonna be extremely dangerous. main thing for them right now is to get healthy and all there players on the court.
Well,,,i know this is off the topic,,,but i will be impressed with the T'wolves if they make it out of the first round of the playoffs finally...i know they have a new team and everything, but once they get past the first round i think it will be a huge thing...like they have lost in the first round 7 years in a row, thats just..yeah (reminds me of the blazers in the 90's when they lost 6 years in a row in the first round), so lets all hope that the monkey gets off their back this season..(but i do know they have had tough first round matchups in the past which makes it even worse) so best of luck to the t'wolves cause i think they finally deserve some success becides doin well in the regular season in past years.
