Britt Robson/On The Ball with thoughts and predictions on the season.
 
 
Stephen Litel/Hoopsworld interviews Theo Ratliff and Sebastian Telfair.
 
 
Kent Youngblood/Star Tribune on Marko Jaric: 
There have been times when, frankly, he felt that it would be better if
he were somewhere else. On another team, with another system, with more
opportunity.
But he says he’s not thinking that way right now, because right now there is a lot of opportunity. With Randy Foye down because of a stress reaction in his knee, the Wolves have a lot of available minutes at point guard. In Friday’s opener against Denver, Wolves coach Randy Wittman started Sebastian Telfair. But Jaric will get his chance. 
 
Denver coach George Karl on KG:
"I was sad when Gary Payton left Seattle," he said. "There are certain guys who should die and live in the city [they start with]. … I’m happy that Kevin will have a chance to get back into the playoffs. But my thought is he should be in Minnesota."

 
"They have a good start there," Iverson said. "They have Al Jefferson,
a guy who can play, guys who can make things happen on the basketball
court. I think the sky’s the limit for them."
 
 
From Kare 11:
KARE 11 conducted a highly unscientific poll and found none of our interviewees could name even one of the Timberwolves players.
"Well I did know Kevin Garnett, but he’s gone," said Myra Curry, in an
answer that resembled at least half a dozen other responses.
