Nets vs Timberwolves – Kevin Love Continues His Double Double Crusade
It’s hard to believe anyone is going to vote for Kevin Love when the MVP award is up. Too much of a numbers guy on a good, but not great Minnesota Timberwolves team.

Timberwolves vs Nuggets – Something Starting to Click in Denver
Maybe Brian Shaw believes in a half-court kind of offense, maybe even the Triangle. It doesn’t matter.

NBA – Timberwolves vs Knicks Predictions
Nothing is new under the sun for the New York Knicks, playing the same boring, dull and predictable basketball, relying Tyson Chandler to hold the fort on defense and Carmelo Anthony to supply the points.

Thunder vs Timberwolves – Kevin Durant Can’t Look Any Worse
The Minnesota Timberwolves, when healthy, look like a team that can make the playoffs, as Kevin Love and Ricky Rubio put on another double double show in a 100-81 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder, who are going to have these kind of games as long as Russell Westbrook is out of the picture and Kevin Durant is forced to do more things than just score without having to worry about anything else.
