Mike Conley, salute to you sir and for all you did for the Minnesota Timberwolves

Have like Jaden’s resolve to not have a bad game in this one. Weirdly not a ton of shots but kept at it and now getting some more looks and knocking them down.

Bones Hyland can do a lot of fun things on the basketball court

Naz Reid checked in for Donte DiVincenzo with 2:54 left in the half to play the 3 next to Randle and Gobert. Wolves dominated the glass and went on a 14-2 run to end the half. This big lineup can be a weapon, especially if the other team is playing small

Very impressive half for Rudy Gobert. 9 rebounds already playing against a smaller Warriors frontcourt he should dominate.

Bones Hyland has a look in his eye tonight. He’s got the juice right now.

Anthony Edwards and Donte DiVincenzo going shot for shot right now. They are powering a Wolves offense that has turned the ball over at a crazy clip. One point game at halftime which is ideal given the turnovers

Jazz 127, Timberwolves 122: Death by 1,000 Backdoor Cuts The Wolves drop their third straight game, this time to the tanking Jazz in Utah, giving up 43 fourth-quarter points @bennyhughesnba.bsky.social recaps the rough night in Utah ⤵️ www.canishoopus.com/timberwolves...

Timberwolves have gone full zone so far in this one without Gobert. McDaniels roams the paint and tougher to get Wemby in 1v1 situations in the post.

In 2026, the Minnesota Timberwolves have been the best team in basketball: - 6-1 record (most wins of any team) - 1st in NET rating and Offense - 9th in defensive rating - 4th in Reb % - 1st in TS% and EFG% - 3rd in pace Since the ATL no-show, this has been a different team.

Had a blast chatting with @adukemn.bsky.social as always - check it out as you try to survive 2 days without Wolves hoops!

Hit the lull in the game early in the third for the Wolves offense but they righted the ship. Beringer gave them a massive boost in the energy department

Joan Beringer, I am more than impressed

76-45 at halftime. No Ant and no Rudy. That is all.

Wolves have gotten the benefit of the doubt on Giannis so far. Julius’ physical defense has carried over from the 4th quarter against Wemby.

My lord, everyone is shooting today. Julius Jaden and Bones came out knowing they had the green light.

Thought that was a great first stint for Joan Beringer. Could tell he was getting his feet wet, but the same willingness to challenge shots and go after boards that you saw in Iowa.

Amazing offense for that entire first frame. Jaden McDaniels knocking em down over and over. Exactly what you need with no Ant.

Beringer in the first quarter 👀

Wolves playing loose so far in this one. Flowing offense trying to get multiple guys in rhythm. Somewhat to be expected without Gobert, but the right way to go about it without him.

Beringer waiting to play in the regular rotation until the Prince jerseys were on the schedule - smart man

Big game tonight for the Timberwolves against the Spurs. Maybe a bit early to be thinking about tiebreakers, but the Wolves only play the Spurs 3 times this season so a win tonight would clinch the H2H. Also move up to the 3 seed with a Denver loss (Vs. Bucks)

Cavaliers 146 Timberwolves 134: 4th quarter Avalanche Buries Wolves The Timberwolves’ four-game win streak comes to an end as the Cavaliers overwhelm them with 83 second-half points. @bennyhughesnba.bsky.social goes over the today's Cleveland matinee⤵️ www.canishoopus.com/timberwolves...

Rudy Gobert engulfing Evan Mobley these last few minutes

Shooters keep shooting - Donte DiVincenzo on fire her in the second. Naz Reid wide open 3 gives the Wolves a 12 point lead in the second quarter

Cavs started and have used a lot of 3 guard lineups so far - Jaden will almost always have a mismatch that he can kill.

The Ant-Rudy two man game has looked great so far in this first quarter. Ant’s reading the defense extremely well. Finding Rudy in the pocket and knocked down a three when Cavs went drop coverage.

Was a bit dicey but got the W, check out my immediate takeaways!

Thunder 113, Timberwolves 105: A Valiant Effort Falls Short The Timberwolves played well a majority of the game, but 15 missed free throws and multiple turnovers late doomed them. @bennyhughesnba.bsky.social has the breakdown ⤵️ www.canishoopus.com/timberwolves...

Had a blast talking some Wolves hoops with @adukemn go check it out!

"The next time you’re watching a game where Minnesota has a lead that feels a little too close for comfort, rest assured that Jaden McDaniels is now capable of picking up that slack." Great stuff from @bennyhughesnba.bsky.social www.canishoopus.com/timberwolves...

The Leap ™️ is here for Jaden yall, tap in to see some words on his improved offense this season!

If you slept in today and missed the game, go check out some of my key takeaways!

Big to get this first one in the 3 game series, NY’s chances of sniping the one seed just went exponentially down.

The Lynx off the ball defensive awareness is SO good

Maria Kliundikova has been impressive on both ends since she was inserted into the rotation. Seems like she has a few big swing plays per game.

Loving Dijonai Carrington’s attention to detail getting to watch her more closely. Cutting has been great.

Loving the Lynx pace early on here, the more transition and semi-transition opportunities the better when you don’t have your first option

Lynx game has been a dream for analytics heads so far, all threes and layups

Another thought re: Julius Randle I wonder what a fully healthy offseason does for his ability to hit the ground running. I feel like people often forget about his shoulder injury that held him out the second half of the season and playoffs with the Knicks.
