08:08 AM ET 11.23 | The return of Timberwolves two-time All-Star Kevin Love makes for a nice problem to have in Minnesota. [Love] made his season debut in a stealthy attack launched under the cover of darkness as night fell over Target Center on Wednesday. Now, as funny as it might seem, a Wolves team that played defense so passionately and moved the ball so freely in building that 5-2 season start and now is .500 must learn again how to play with him. The Wolves surfed the emotion of Love's unexpected return to a 17-point lead just before halftime against Denver before it all fell apart in a 101-94 loss. "Little different," said Wolves reserve point guard J.J. Barea. ... "Trust me, we're happy he's back."

This is huge for the injury-riddled T Wolves. I hope this is the beginning of them getting and staying healthy this season. They could definitely be a playoff team.

QUOTE(#2):

Love is David lee.Good player, no defenseNot ever going to be a contending team with him as your #1

Have to respectfully disagree there. Compared to Lee? Really! Love's D has been quite improved as well. Came back with a 34/14 game the other night. Doubt Lee can get that on his very best days now. They have to learn to play together now again so it make take some time to incorporate all pieces that are coming back. You cant fake rebounding. And last i looked that is part of playing defense as well.
