Trail Blazers Team Report
(Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:36:29 PST)
The Trail Blazers aren't going to take any opponent for granted—even a team that has won only one game all season.
"We can't take anybody lightly," Portland's Joel Przybilla said as he looked ahead to Saturday's game against Minnesota at the Rose Garden. "They're an NBA club. Anything can happen if we're not ready to play."
Some would argue that Przybilla is using the term "NBA club" loosely. The Timberwolves are 1-12 and have already been beaten twice by Portland.
Second-year forward Kevin Love remains sidelined because of injury, and there's simply not enough firepower for the Wolves to be competitive on most nights.
"They have some talent," Przybilla said.
