Poppy_Hillis 11 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I think Minnesota has an outside, yet realistic shot at making the playoffs this year. They're going to have to stay relatively injury free and keep getting better, but they can do it. When they got Foye, Miller, Brewer, Love, Jefferson in they're really tough. Kevin Love is a monster where Al Jefferson is not, and vice versa. Same thing with Miller and Brewer only not as beastly. They all compliment each other really well, and play smarter than their experience would suggest.Hop on, it could be a short ride this year, but I think they can do it.

Indigo 0 Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Short ride indeed. They don't have the leadership qualities driving them home, like they had with Garnett. Link to post Share on other sites

SuitedAces21 2,722 Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 ESPN has them ranked last in this weeks power rankings.But they also dropped the Lakers from 1 to 2. WHICH MAKES NO FREAKING SENSE TO ME. Link to post Share on other sites

WHICH MAKES NO FREAKING SENSE TO ME.ESPN is a joke. I really wish there was another major sports network that could compete with them.If I could buy stock long-term in an NBA team based on performance it would definitely be the Wolves. They're not as bad as their 1-5 looks, and I'm almost certain they won't be as bad as a 20-win team this year. Link to post Share on other sites
babylondonks 5 Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 I'd put my long-term stock in Portland, but I love the Wolves team this year and I'm excited for Jefferson, I'm hoping he can really pick up on the defensive end Link to post Share on other sites

Believe me Portland is no secret, their price wouldn't be low...in this hypothetical game. Link to post Share on other sites

Cappy37 0 Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 I'll trade you Oden, Sergio, and Outlaw straight up for Al Jefferson and ummm.. some practice balls.. and a couple towels.It'd be worth it just to have someone who is willing to shoot the ball within 15 feet of the @$##@$ basket.And yes, i hope someone digs this up in 3 years when Oden's on the all star team and celebrating his first ring.A . ) I'm not holding my breathB. ) Oden could be wearing a laker jerset in the above scenario.

Poppy_Hillis 11 Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 Another horrible loss. They should be 4-3 right now. Link to post Share on other sites
babylondonks 5 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Another horrible loss. They should be 4-3 right now.That loss seriously tilted me. I followed the last few minutes from the play-by-play so I have no idea of game flow, but did Jefferson just not get the ball in the last few minutes (of reg time and OT)? It seemed everyone jacked up a three aside from him. Link to post Share on other sites

babylondonks 5 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Al Jefferson just had the rare honour of leading his team in what I believe is every stat aside from personal fouls.Points, Boards, Assists, Steals, TO's, Blocks Link to post Share on other sites

bigkg 0 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I'm totally on the bandwagon. I was so ready to pounce on the T'Wolves at over 25.5 wins, but my feelings have been tempered slightly after Love's injury and reports that Jefferson isn't 100% yet. Link to post Share on other sites

I hope he recovers soon and has a monster season, really don't want him to turn into another Jermaine O'Neal with the injuries. Link to post Share on other sites
