    Default Healthy TWolves = Playoffs

    They have a good roster and if they stay healthy they should be in the playoffs. Any reason why they shouldnt?

    Biggest reason in the bold. Minnesota lead th league in man games lost to injury last season. I don't expect them to catch a perfect storm and be completely healthy this season. Also, since they are young and inexperienced, the rest of West would have to be completely injured for this to even happen.

    I think eventually they'll develop into a top tier team but the lack of any real veteran presence other than Garnett is going to hinder them this season.

    Its not unreasonable to think they could have a better season than the Pelicans/Suns/Jazz/Kings

    and one or two teams will go down with injuries.

    Rubio has a calming effect as a player.

    People always make fun of the Blazers training staff, but the T-Wolves may be worse. They've had like 3-4 straight years of a ton of injuries.

    they'll be in the mix. the more i look at their roster, the more i like them over the jazz. the suns don't have depth though maybe i've forgotten a move they made. the kings are the biggest question mark though, if karl whips that team into shape, the wolves will be forgotten for at least one more year.

    i'll be cheering for them though. wiggins and bennett represent. i also love rubio and hope he regains his confidence after last year's disaster. if he misses time during the year, minnasota is ****ed since that means heavy minutes at pg for lavine... not a good look.

    but if he returns with even a semblance of a jump shot, this team will surprise a lot of people. he's such a great floor leader.
