Trenton Hassell is our lock down perimeter defender, if he plays half as good as he did last season, everything will be square. Fred Hoiberg is the best role player on the planet, nobody can touch the Mayor. I feel a little scared about our 5 spot, but between Big Irv Johnson and Kandi man (who might be the worst player on the planet, not sure yet), we are still better then 70% of teams.
Minnesota is a solid Defensive team, and a threat at any point to be an explosive offensive team. I like our chances to get to the finals this year, especially since Shaq is out of the west.

I totally agree - they came close to winning it all last year, and with Hudson back depth should give them the edge. Plus, no more LA to worry about - just let Kobe hog the ball, shoot 50 times and kill the team. Without Shaq in conference, there just isn't a dominant center to abuse the lane against the Wolves - Yao is good, but isn't physical like Shaq was. Plus, the Timberwolves play hard and odn't have any major off-court distractions, unlike other teams like LA, Sacramento, etc....
