Big rally adds up to Timberwolves' victory in season opener

This text is replaced by the Flash movie. One of the personality traits of first-year Timberwolves coach Kurt Rambis is his calm demeanor.

Rambis looks to be an excellent choice to coach this team. The Nets are picked to be last in the East, and the Wolves aren't expected to make the playoffs, but if they hustle, play defense, and spread the scoring...they'll be fun to watch, and they'll win some games. At this point, that's what Minnesota needs....some hope for the future!

It's nice seeing this youg group get off to a good start. Reality is though, it is a long season. Patience is a virtue!:)

I could only listen to the game last night and almost turned it off after the 3rd quarter. But - I thought - it's the first game - you have to listen to the whole thing. Sure glad I did! I never wished more than out-of-towners such as myself had an opportunity to see all the games. Hope it's a sign of the future. I have hope that with time they will develop chemistry and learn to play together. I'm surprised they are playing as well as they are right now when you consider that a few months ago most of them didn't even know each other - or the coaches. Not bad, Woofies, not bad at all!

I was reminded this morning that the Wolve's won game #1 last year as well..and well, we know what happened after that.....good luck T Pups!!!!!!!!!

Last nights game was very exciting and bodes well for the future however there weren't 18,000 people there. This years Wolves look to be the best team they have had in four or five years. The second team will be very talented and should be able to compete with any in the NBA. Rambis(Kahn deserves some credit here) has already won me back as a fan. I know its only been one game, but I watch the team closely and they showed me more last night than they have in the last two seasons. The coaching staff they've assembled is top notch, maybe the best in Wolves history. Suddenly I see a bright future. Bold prediction #1.....If they beat Cleveland Friday they will make the playoffs.

Enjoy it while you can...they will only celebrate another 17 times this year.

Nice win last night. It was tough watching Ty Lawson play so well off the bench last night for Nuggets, considering he could have been a Twolve right now.
