Season Preview: Minnesota Timberwolves

Remember Troy Hudson? The Timberwolves sure should...they are still paying for his contract and to the tune of 7 million dollars for the next 2 years. Couple that with being stuck with an overpaid, overweight, and overrated big man (Al Jefferson) and this team is not in the best of shape. Speaking of being in shape, the Timberwolves lead the league in players over 250 pounds with 7! And Ryan Gomes is close, clocking in at 245. Dammit what am I saying, I've lived my whole life being a slightly overweight basketball player, THESE GUYS WILL BE FINE! I'm joining you Alex, and jumping on this beef train.

Poot's Stat Buster: Al Jefferson

The guy is incredibly productive, even though he seems to suck the life right out of his other 4 teammates on the floor. Those other players falling down around Al in the above picture could very well be his own guys as well as the person guarding him. Don't know whats up with this guy but he's absolutely a 20-10 guy who can carry any fantasy basketball team in a given season.

Taco Bell Menu Comparison:
Grilled Stuft Burrito (Beef)

This is by far the heaviest item on the menu at Taco Bell. There are a ton of ingredients that should work together nicely, but again, the beef overdose (Al Jefferson) hurts what could be a legitimate playoff team (if they were in the Eastern Conference). It's also a little bit pricey by T-Bell standards.

Season Record:
33-49

Mchale: everyone over 6'9 sucks? Craig Smith, weirdest shape in NBA, Brewer, worst starter in NBA. jefferson will provide the stat beef, but love the highlight ground turkey.
