Let's get it on... finally

I'm ready.. some good games today!

Everybody ready for this wild ass prediction?

Here it goes.

The Minnesota Timberwolves will make the playoffs this year.

I know, I know. But I've been watching Kevin Love and Beasley play together. Derrick Williams is really doing a fantastic job as well. Adelman will give these guys something they haven't had in the years under Rambis- coaching. QUALITY coaching. I think that's what they really really needed, and they'll get it.

Today's slate of games:

11:00 AM - Knicks at Celtics - TNT

1:30PM - Finals Rematch Heat at Dallas - ABC

4:00PM - Bulls at Lakers - ABC

7:00PM - Orlando at Oklahoma City - ESPN

9:30PM - Clippers at Golden State - ESPN

I'll watch the first 3 games. Switch to SNF at 8pm and then catch some of the Clippers later.

I don't think it is that wild. I watched the Timberwolves game in preseason and with Rubio and the 2 big men they are going to be a tough out. I definitely think they will be in the playoffs

WTF? Rondo hits both of his FT's

Every team has holes. The Knicks back court is below average. The Celtics are geriatric and although I like Brandon Bass they'll miss not having either Big Baby or Perkins.

They should shorten the NBA season.

Jermaine O'Neal is a waste of oxygen.

Not a good start for my Celtics except for Rondo

The Celtics have to pray that Rondo can consistently knock down that mid-range jumper.

It is really early but it looks like Rondo took all the criticism to heart and has worked on his FT's and jumpshot this off season.

So far he looks better in that aspect but the season will tell the story.
