Simons Says...

The Timberwolves will be represented well at the upcoming All-Star Weekend in Orlando. Forward Kevin Love is on the 2012 Western Conference All-Star team after balloting by NBA head coaches. This was a no brainer. It’s the second All-Star selection of Love's career and he’s the second player in franchise history to make more than one All-Star Game appearance, joining Kevin Garnett (10 appearances). Tom Gugliotta, Wally Szczerbiak and Sam Cassell all made one appearance as a Timberwolves player.
K-Love will be joined by Ricky Rubio and Derrick Williams who will both play in the Rising Stars Challenge to be held during All-Star Weekend. This should be a great game with All-Star Blake Griffin and rookie guard Kyrie Irving and 16 others scheduled to play. It’s a new format as rookies and second-year players will be mixed in the game on Friday, Feb. 24 in Orlando. Hoops analysts Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal will serve as general managers and draft players for their teams. The 2012 NBA All-Star Game will be played at Amway Center in Orlando on Sunday, Feb. 26. Hey…Time to help cover up for Good Cause:
Even though it’s officially ending, there’s still time to help out and make a difference with Kevin Love’s coat drive. There are many people in need this winter and it’s real. K-Love tells me that fans can still drop coats at any of eight metro-area drop-off locations, including the Target Center Box Office and Comcast service centers and they will be picked up. All donations supporting The Salvation Army.

"We've had a mild start to the winter, but it's pretty cold in Minnesota and many people are in need of new winter coats," Love said. "I want to help out again this year, and with the support of The Salvation Army, Comcast and Wolves fans, we can make a difference this winter for those in need."
