FWIW..

At the tender age of 24, Kevin Love’s basketball resume is in rarified air.

Two-time NBA All-Star. Member of the U.S. gold medal-winning teams at the World Championships (2010) and Olympic Games (2012). NBA rebounding king in 2010-11. Led the league in double-doubles (48), second in rebounds (13.3 per game) and fourth in scoring (26.0) last season.

One major omission: NBA playoff experience.

Entering his fifth season with the Minnesota Timberwolves, Love hasn’t had a sniff of the postseason. Minnesota, in fact, has finished fifth and last in the Northwest Division in each of his four seasons. That could change in 2012-13 as the Timberwolves have beefed up a roster that has their Western Conference competition on notice.

“It would be a big surprise to me if we didn’t make a huge leap this year and make it to the playoffs,” the Lake Oswego native told me Wednesday............

It wouldn't be a surprise if you saw it coming. KLove needs to read a dictionary!

Its good to aim sky high but that roster has almost as many Q's as the blazers. Rubio is out for the first month an a half and his injury is one that you don't know how the player will play after it. Their defense is so/so with their only elite defender being their only big acquisition and he is over the hill at 32 and has had injury problems for years(AK). They will fight with GS/Utah for the 8th seed but I like both GS/Utah's roster better.

He doesn't expect a surprise. He expects no surprise.

It seems I'm bad with those things... uh... words.

Well, here in Oaktown every years it's predicted the Warriors are in the playoffs.....
