May your holidays be restful, joyful and bright. ✨

Everyone will talk about Anthony Edwards for good reason but holy hell was TJ Shannon great tonight- 10 points, 5 assists, 5 boards and outstanding defense. Keep it up No. 1. Go Timberwolves!

Perhaps the WNBA equivalent of a Naz Reid Game is a Dijonai Carrington Game?

Anyone who says it’s dumb for the Timberwolves to just run it back, I give you the Minnesota Lynx. Chemistry and culture.

If my math is right, Lore/Arod should get around $25 million as Lynx owners after three new teams pay expansion fee. That payout could almost cover its Timberwolves luxury tax bill for Summer 2026.

I truly believe one of Tim Connelly’s best skills as a POBO is he’s a closer. He knows how to close trades. He knows how to resign players - some below market. I’m excited to see what happens over the next week. Naz Reid is just the start.

Thank you to every god in every religion. Two words. Go Timberwolves

Can we hire Joe Ingles to coach Rocco Zikarsky with the Iowa Wolves???

I can’t help it. I like Kam Jones! I would like him on my Timberwolves.

Okay I accidentally watched Walter Clayton Jr highlights and now I want him next to Ant for the Timberwolves for the next decade. I'm sorry Rob but I'm into the newest shining thing. I can't wait for the NBA Draft.

As a lifelong Timberwolves fan, I just can't shed a tear on the Taylors leaving, especially how I've seen things run since Arod/Lore got in the door. It's night & day. Yes, Glen hired Cheryl, but the cons outweigh the few pros. Too many bad days for my fav NBA team. Today's a great day in my book

Did the Suns just trade Durant for two shooting guards even though the best position for Booker and Beal is shooting guard?

As a Wolves fan, I read the chatter on trades, some include Jaden/Naz Reid. It's fun but I can't stop thinking about the Lynx. Honestly, I was mad that Cheryl did nothing. Run it back What? Everyone in the WNBA got better. But sometimes when you're close, you run it back. Chemistry is real.

When Glen Taylor was Timberwolves owner: Oh crap, we're going to lose Chris Finch to the Knicks. We can't have nice things. With Lore/ARod as owners: Whatever. Finch isn't leaving here for your crappy team.

Hate to say it, OKC is just better than the Timberwolves. It's not the end of the world. They are better than 28-29 other teams too. I'm thankful we have TC in the front office to keep building around Ant/Jaden/NAZ. Looks like SGA will win his first title at 26. Hopefully, Ant will get his sooner.

This has just been a rough postseason for Donte. Definitely not the player he was in 2024 postseason.

If Diamond Miller looks like this, the Minnesota Lynx are going to be a problem.

Chris Finch was hired on 2-22-21 by a Timberwolves team that was 7-24 & going nowhere. We are barely 4 years later! He’s won 209 games in 4+ yrs. He’s also 22-18 in postseason with 2 trips to the WC finals. We forget what a dumpster fire it was not that long ago. Finch is the best coach we’ve had.

I’m pumped for Timberwolves vs Warriors. I wish I was there. Wolves fans don’t let me down. Drown out the people in Curry jerseys. Win the first game - the just go 3-3 and take the series.

Scream it as loud as you can Timberwolves fans: Rudy Gobert sent Luka Doncic home.

I’m so glad the Timberwolves won. Also I’m glad Minnesota had a challenge so the refs can see video proof that yes LeBron James does foul people. He’s not perfect. He’s not God. One more win.

I just hope the Lakers gave it everything they had and still trail by three. I feel like this game will be similar to Game 3. The deeper we get into the game the more juice the Timberwolves will have.

The Minnesota Timberwolves shot 21-of-42 on three-pointers in their Game 1 win over the Los Angeles Lakers. Of those 42 three-point attempts: 🏀27 were classified as wide open 🏀15 were classified as open 🏀0 were classified as coming against tight or very tight defense

The Timberwolves can win this series at home against the Lakers who were 19-22 in road games. Let’s get loud Target Center.

Wolves built a double-digit lead while Edwards was off his game. LeBron was quiet but will be heard from. The lead will have to be 30 in the fourth before feeling good about it lol

Ave NBA fan: My Team is Up by 22 😁😁 Timberwolves fan: So I guess I have to bite my fingernails and pray my Timberwolves won’t blow a 20-point lead

Game recognize game

Jokic eliminated Ant. The following season he ended them. Luka eliminated Ant. The following season…

So I guess the Timberwolves have to beat these guys. F it. Let’s go do it. Us against the world. Wolves in six.

This Timberwolves victory feels amazing. Julius Randle with his best game of the season.

Hot take: I want Minnesota and Tim Connelly to trade Detroit first for future picks and draft someone with Utah’s pick (likely 31). That would save $ for Reid/NAW deals and I like the players in 31 range like Broome or Toppin. Thank you Jazz for that pick in Conley/NAW/DLo trade.

Ding Dong! The Witch is dead. I'm sorry happy Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez are finally taking over as full-time owners of my favorite team. Since they arrived, Minnesota has a .588 winning percentage, 3 playoff runs, hired the best play-by-play guy in the NBA and an elite POBO. Let's go Timberwolves

“Malik Beasley was dancing early, Anthony Edward’s is dancing late” -Grady.

Malik Beasley’s mouth got everyone pissed. It led to a fight that caused the Pistons 3 players and their head coach. Detroit was already down two key guys. Soon they were out of gas and run out of the building. But hey maybe Malik thinks it was worth it to talk smack.

The Timberwolves need to quit losing great Rudy Gobert games. Come on guys.

The Timberwolves starting Joe Ingles so his autistic son -- in town for the week -- can see him play >>>> anything else in the world this week. Wolves back.

Raheem Mostert tells me he’s signing a 1-year, $2.1 million deal with Raiders. Former Dolphins RB made the Pro Bowl in 2023 rushing for over 1K yards and totaling 21 TDs. Still has good juice left for Vegas squad that wants to run the ball.

POV: You're a Denver player trying to score in the paint while Donte is around

The Blazers did something pretty awesome tonight for the national anthem - 23 years ago the young 13 year old, now Natalie Zito, struggled with the anthem and Mo Cheeks helped her finish it out. Tonight they brought her back out with Cheeks in the house with the Knicks and she absolutely killed it.

Now Timberwolves please don’t lay a dud against the Magic!! Let’s get lucky No. 7 on Friday night.

Alan Horton is just great. What I’ve always loved about him is how he seamlessly adds in statistics. Let’s hope tonight isn’t a trial in case Grady leaves the Timberwolves.

God Damn it’s never easy but I’ll take any Timberwolves win.

Someone needs to research how many more clutch time games would the Timberwolves have won this season if a playing during the didn’t make a long 3-pointer in the closing seconds. Minnesota opponents have made an insane amount.

Us Timberwolves fans are sad, but John Collins is very happy.

Every dollar of the new Jaylen Clark contract is subject massive luxury tax penalties. The Timberwolves could have just waited and saved millions. Props to Timberwolves ownership for signing this guy now and locking him to a minimum 25-26 deal. Keep it up Clark.

What just happened? Young guys. Young Timberwolves!
