The Scouting Report

After injuries derailed a promising 2011–12 season, the Minnesota Timberwolves hope to claw back into Western Conference contention and position themselves as a postseason threat. Primed by one of the league's most exciting inside-outside duos, the squad has announced their presence in the young 2012–13 season like a wolf howling at the moon because he thinks it’s a loose basketball in outer space, notching a 4-2 record in their first six games while surrendering the fifth-fewest points in the league.

Minnesota Timberwolves

The Minnesota Timberwolves regale Minneapolis's loyal base of hoops fans with their own brand of world-class basketball put on display at the Target Center. An expansion team that joined the league in 1989, the T'Wolves have packed plenty of highlights into their short history, including a berth in the 2004 Western Conference finals—the same season the team boasted the league MVP. They also give home-team supporters a novel fan experience, inviting them to mimic the dancers' choreography and ward off the antics of Crunch, the team’s lupine mascot, by throwing silver coins onto the court.

The Groupon Guide to: Basketball Plays

Though it might seem like basketball players are just running around to maintain enough sweat to look beautiful on television, they are actually running complex offensive plays. Here are some simple plays that you can try out next time you hit the hardtop:

Dribble Drive: Each offensive player grabs a basketball and dribbles to the hoop. The one who dribbles fastest wins the points.

Pick and Roll: One of the players "picks" which teammate he believes will be the one to shoot the ball. If he is correct, the player that took the shot has to call a timeout so he can immediately get his reward—a "roll" filled with ham and creamed corn.

Backdoor Cut: This is considered the trickiest play in basketball because it requires the offensive team to distract the defense by having their coach put on a top hat, wander onto the court, and ask the defensive players if they'd like to see what his head looks like without a top hat. If the defensive players ignore the coach's distraction, the offensive players should blow on the defenders' eyes until the dryness becomes unbearable.
