    So according to you Timberwolves feature several stars in Pekovic,Love, Rubio and possibly the much heralded Derrick Williams, and many lottery pick talents yet they are still unable to get over 0.50 percent.

    This is ridiculous.

    It is possible for teams to underperform in a small sample size you know.

    Rubio is not a star yet and Williams may never be. But Love and Pekovic are both performing at an all-star level, and the Wolves are better than their record indicates.

    No. I said Pekovic is a star. Didn't say nothing about the other chumps you mentioned. Learn to read. Geez.

    I like Rubio but I've seen so many games where he's flat out bad or invisible ex. the Bobcats game but it doesn't even matter because Love and Pekovic are such beasts in the post and on the boards. A pass to the post is almost an auto assist.

    The Timberwolves are over 0.500, since Pekovic started. They are 0.545, since Pekovic became the starter.

    He is playing like the best center in the game.

    In a league in which Dwight Howard is the best center (lol), he might just be the savior.

    Rubio
    Love

    Guess who drafted him for the Timberwolves in 2008?

    Kevin McHale.


    Thanks, coach.

    Pekovic tried to kill our player. I will never appreciate him. He will be a bust like Marcus Morris already is.

    lol naw on the real though, I really like Pek. He's such a HUGE dude. Though, what I REALLY liked about him, was that he just seemed to have a knack about getting exceptional position down low in the post. Ya'll know about what I’m talking about, like when a player who has a certain feel to the game. Pek's got it, and I reckon he'll be a serviceable big-man (possibly more) for years to come.

    Some of his moves don't translate well from Europe though:
