The Wolves are flying out this afternoon to Sacramento and the start of a three-game Western trip after working out at Target Center this morning. With Randy Wittman looking for better starts, I’d bet he’ll give Kevin Love his first career start and maybe he’ll put Sebastian Telfair out there in Randy Foye’s place as well.

“It’s early,” Wittman said Thursday, “but I’m seriously looking at different things. I think that’s going to be important for us.”

On a completely different subject, I need some help writing my Sunday NBA column. I’m going to have some fun with Kevin Love’s name and offer some suggestions to the Target Center people for game-night music. A season ago, Al Jefferson got the 1970s sitcom theme song linked to him whenever he scored a big basket. In the preseason opener at Billings, Wolves game staff played the B52s “Love Shack,” which Love himself quickly nixed because “I hate that song.”

Now, they’re playing the Beatles’ “All You Need is Love,” a pretty obvious choice.

There’s only about 3,500 possibilities. At least that’s what an Internet database shows listing songs with the word Love in the title. There’s all kind of choices for all kinds of situations (an eight-turnover game? How ’bout Love Stinks, by J Geils Band).

My runner-up pick: When Love Comes to Town, the 1980s bluesy number that paired U2 with B.B. King.

My winner: That’s Amore, the Dean Martin version.

Your suggestions?
