If Wemby can’t handle some issues with foul calls vs the wolves without losing his mind, my lord is he gonna have a tough time in the next round

If Wemby can’t handle some issues with foul calls vs the wolves without losing his mind, my lord is he gonna have a tough time in the next round

“How could the Timberwolves have a game like this and consider themselves a championship-level team?” ESPN asks

I was trying to think of a comp for current jokic and I’ve landed at “prime roided Barry bonds but you have to play him at shortstop”

If I’m the wolves I might just rest ant game 2 and hope he’s healthier for game 3. He’s not good enough right now

Glad the wolves are showing up for the series but big picture ant doesn’t look healthy and they jus are not going to be able to win playoff series unless/until he is

I know from afar that you should expect sudden aggression from an aspiring despot like Trump but I’m honestly in a bit of shock right now at the temerity of this

I like bringing slomo back to the wolves; he shouldn’t play in the playoffs absent injury or bad foul trouble, but I like him for the regular season as like a 10th guy who plays when a big is out or suspended

He isn’t the MVP, but in a close game, 2 minutes left, Anthony Edwards is easily the best player in the league

Pairing AD and Trae with some young shooters and athletes, I think the wiz could really make some noise in the 2022 playoffs

Learning about Randle’s struggles with mental health has changed how I look at these deep funks he goes into but it doesn’t change how awful he is when he’s in them

Tonight vs Utah wouldn’t be the worst loss of the year in terms of how the wolves have played but situationally, a fully-healthy squad vs jazz on the back end of a b2b, yeah, it’s definitely the worst

Wolves are getting good shots here vs Utah but you do also have to make them

I’m not even looking at the box score, but this has to have been one of the worst games of conley’s career

Joan looking to try that layup on Wemby with less than a minute left was a dumb move in the moment but absolutely a good sign for Beringer long-term. Wasn’t afraid or overthinking in a high-leverage moment

Is Rudy Gobert really just the inverse of Luka Doncic? Both are generational talents on one side of the ball, capable of nearly single-handedly bringing a team to a top-5 unit.

I know he’s not going to win it because of rep and whatnot but Rudy probably should win DPOY this year, he’s having his best year for the wolves right now

I think Steph just did a “waving arms guy” celebration when he made a layup over wemby

Hosting thanksgiving this year and I’m feeling like making a crazy (but tasty) side dish. Like, “bologna marshmallow stew” kind of unhinged shit, but still good. Any ideas out there?

Did fox just play “they not like us” as the outro music after the trophy ceremony?

A pretty regular part of Timberwolves fandom these days is reading a ton of comments on how bad Rudy is, then checking the box score from the last night and seeing he was like +8 in a 2 pt loss

Reaves and Ayton attack Jaden and Rudy and get a good look and wolves lose. Just not excusable for two players of that defensive caliber to play that poorly on the final shot

I have no idea what Reaves has on the refs, man

I really hope someone at the wolves thinks to send a tape from this game to espn before they run another “is ant anti-clutch” segment sometime this season

Sengun did a “feel the defender’s hand close so rise up through it for a jumper just to draw the foul” tonight and I feel like that should be a pretty big red flag for the league

I want it to work bc I love the swagger but Dillingham really just has few nba-rotation-player skills right now

KOC just resting jj all preseason looking like a giant blunder rn. Clearly not ready for the season

Punting on 4th and half a yard feels like prioritizing jj’s development over trying to win the game

Terrible de play by the Vikings on that drive, specifically Greenard. Allowed Caleb around him on the 3 biggest plays

This whole bills comeback started when that punt coverage dude let his pinky finger touch the goal line

Beringer is one of these guys who plays better than his stats—changes shots he doesn’t block, tips rebounds to teammates, screens well. If he learns any offensive game he’s gonna be a rotation big soon

This 2nd half is maybe the worst officiated I’ve seen this year but it obviously doesn’t make any difference at all bc of the score so it’s just kind of funny. Just hacking ant every possession

I keep vacillating between wanting ant to learn how to sell fouls vs not wanting to watch that kind of thing regularly

Just wanted to shout out Stan van gundy for his “this really is a must-win series for the wolves” from game 2, just top-tier analysis

Gotta do something about Conley rn. He hit that one 3, but he almost got stripped twice, did get stripped once, made a loose pass to ant that was almost a turnover and made a bad pass to Rudy when he could have dunked it.

Wolves currently on pace to win 256-0

Just gotta say there’s not nearly enough conversation on this site about Jamal Murray wearing a sweatshirt under his jersey in a damn nba game

It’s halftime, wolves only up 1 vs Utah’s backups, but you should not be worried

Honestly I kinda like that finch isn’t that bothered by the wolves collapse tonight

Wolves won’t need to end the game tonight at 40% from 3 to win but if it’s 35% or higher it’ll be a blowout

Ant has been the problem in this second half, he clearly doesn’t have it but you can’t bench your all-nba guy

Every year has patterns, the 2024-2025 wolves are just shitty to start games on the regular, have to accept that and move on

It just feels so much better to win a game like this right before the break. Can’t lose one for more than a week

Wolves are playing great tonight, regardless of the results, the shots will fall eventually

I don’t know what to think about how bad the wolves shoot in the last minute of games. The stat head says “it’ll even out, they’ll win a bunch soon” but my heart says this year they just don’t have it

Wolves have a way of shooting just bad enough vs bad teams (like the shorthanded bucks) that the game comes down to the last few minutes. Then, it’s out of your hands when the other guys make tough shots

It’s depressing how bad the wolves have been at home this year

So many wolves games this year vs mid/bad teams have just come down to “will the wolves shoot 33% from 3”

If naz is out for the wolves, I mean, hoo-boy, is this gonna be some ugly offense

Wolves defense once again just totally falls apart when Rudy sits
