Edit 9-02-12: After finding an issue with my roster, that I created myself in editing, I am going to be scrapping this association. Once I get a new one up I will be posting it in my Dynasty blog section, so keep an eye out there if you enjoy following dynasties. I plan to put more into that one, including the dynasty tables provided by OS, and some pictures for storylines.
I will give brief recaps of games/Keep up to date on team leaders in stats/league leaders
I am using just play v2 collab roster, so my season starts in 12-13.
14 game seasons, I play every game (11 min user quarters, 12 min sim for the rest of the league)

Behind 2nd year SF Derrick Williams, who finished with 26 pts 9 rebounds 1 assist 1 steal and 1 block in 30 minutes of play while going 9-14 from the field including 4-6 from 3 pt range, the Timberwolves pick up their first win of the season.

Game 2
Timberwolves (1-0) 93

Game 5:
Spurs 97
Timberwolves (4-0) 86
The Wolves pick up their first loss of the year at the hands of the San Antonio Spurs.
Manu Ginobili's 27 pts and 10 rebounds paired with Tony Parker's 15 pts 8 rebounds 7 assists 3 steals and a block were too much for the wolves.

Game 6:
Timberwolves (4-1) 107

Game 7:
Jazz 100
Timberwolves (5-1) 91
Utah 59 rebounds Minnesota 32 rebounds. That was the story of the game here. The four bigs who played for Utah combined for 49 pts and 32 rebounds, matching the entire rebounding total for Minnesota.
Noteable performances by the Wolves
Brandon Roy 20 pts 2 reb 1 stl 1 block
Kevin Love 18 pts 10 reb
Two games in a row where opposing bigs have had their way with the T'wolves now. Could it be an achilles heel for the Wolves down the stretch? Their next game against the Grizzlies bring some clarification.
