On the plus side, the Wolves have positioned themselves nicely for an upcoming 2-game win streak vs the Warriors!

The worst 2 plays of the game were Julius letting Jalen Smith cut to the basket for a wide open dunk, then Ant sagging off Coby White for an open corner 3. The 2 "captains" of the team completely let their team down.

Julius Randle upgraded to AVAILABLE

AAPI night and a return home @TargetCenterMN in our @Timberwolves Icon jerseys. Mira Babal will sing our anthem, Mimi Yang/Mimiapolis Cello will perform at halftime. Artists Brenda Tran and Pachia Xiong made a selfie mirror photo booth in our section 104 atrium. Our guest...

Julius Randle is QUESTIONABLE for tonight's tilt vs the Bulls

Positive update on Kayla McBride???

So excited for this! Wish I could be there, but supporting artists like Lora Hlavsa is well worth it 🙏

Welp. The Lakers beat the Nuggets, so now the Wolves are officially in the Play-In Tournament if the season ended today 😬

This is the softest I've seen the Wolves play since that Hawks loss. Go ahead and chalk this one up next to Brooklyn, Phoenix, and Sacramento. Pathetic effort.

👇

The Wolves are getting backdoor cut at an high school defense level tonight

I really love Stephon Castle, man.

I'm not out here trying to Spartacus as a KAT defender, but this whole convo is why so many sports fans hate big market fan bases (Chris Vernon did a bit on this about Ja Morant recently). Small market fans latch on to their stars, flaws and all. They embrace them. Big market teams do this so fast

I've followed KAT's career closely. I can say this is part of the problem: The #Media projecting the false narrative that KAT's "awkwardness" makes dislikeable. Who's ever publicly disliked KAT? Jimmy Butler? Every MIN teammate he's ever had has talked about him as 1 of the best they've ever had.

I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there. I need you to listen to these people. STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.

No Lauri Markkanen, Brice Sensabaugh, or Kevin Love tonight. Jazz are on the tail end of a b2b and just had to fly in from San Antonio. I wouldn't be surprised to see other Jazz players pop up on the injury report last minute. (Per @andyblarsen.bsky.social)

Naz Reid and Rudy Gobert will be back tonight vs the Jazz 😅

Wolves being #7 on this list is wild. The Johnny Juzang effect is real.

YIKES

Another big night for Rocco Zikarsky! Despite Iowa losing to Long Island for the 2nd time in a row, the 19-year-old put in work in just 27 mins 😤 18 PTS 20 REB 1 AST 1 STL 1 BLK 6/12 FG 3/3 FT

Jimmy Butler non-contact right knee injury. Looked and sounded serious as his entire team huddles around him in a deadly silent Chase Center.

Robert Hussey is the softest/most sensitive ref in the NBA lol...

Not Wemby talking about ethical hoops and then hitting the ground like a sack of potatoes after running into a stationary Nurkic lol

ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

Get Yang Hansen out of the NBA and into the G League, man. I am rooting for him more than the next person, but he's just getting embarrassed in these games. Let him develop with the Remix 😓

The Hornets easily defeated the Lakers the other day, and now steamrolled the Nuggets. To top it all off, Eric Collins called out Luka Doncic for his whining. 🫡 Charlotte! www.youtube.com/shorts/KlqB4...

The Pelicans are desperately trying to claw back from down 12 late in the 4th quarter. Jordan Poole gets a leak out fastbreak layup, then does this... I swear he is the least serious player in the league, man

I think Steven Adams just broke his leg 😖

Iowa Wolves fall to the Long Island Nets, but Rocco Zikarsky continues to show promise 🤔 19 PTS 7 REB 4 BLK 8/13 FG

I'm like 99% certain Jaden McDaniels blocked Wemby's jumper here, but they didn't credit him with it. Fix this @nba.com

Spurs 126, Timberwolves 123: Edwards’ Double Nickel Still Short Changed Anthony Edwards hit a new career-high with 55 points that nearly resulted in a 25-point comeback win, but Victor Wembanyama had other plans. Our @yoleo.bsky.social relives the heartache ⤵️ www.canishoopus.com/timberwolves...

Joan Beringer does a lot of stuff.

lol.....

Jaden McDaniels blocked a Victor Wembanyama mid-range jumper.

I think it's really cool that Joan Beringer chose his jersey number (19) based off his age (19). I hope he changes it every year he gets older!

In other NBA thoughts, I feel bad for my Kings fan friends. I get enjoying "feel good wins" in an unbelievably depressing season, but this little wim streak culminating against a victory against a fellow tanking team in WAS tonight is going to cost them BIG TIME 5 months from now...

This game told me way more about the Rockets than the Wolves. Weirdly felt good to "matchup" against an allegedly strong conference contender, play like ass without our best player, yet only narrowly lose due to KD having the best game of his season.

My main 2 takeaways from this game: 1. The Rockets play basketball in a very aesthetically displeasing way. 2. The Rockets aren't serious contenders as currently constructed.

Me when my coworker asks me "But how do you freeze these rows on this spreadsheet?”

Me when I'm in a big meeting and the presenter doesn't know how to play a YouTube video they embedded in their PowerPoint

Alright, fine. The Office rules then

This lady definitely didn't know what she was doing 😂

Cool box score from 17 years ago today: Timberwolves (11-26) beat the Suns (22-14) thanks to a big 4th quarter push, making it 6 wins in 7 games for them. The Wolves finished the season 24-58. It put them in prime position to draft Ricky Rubio & Jonny Flynn (+Wayne Ellington) in the 2009 draft 😳

Holy crap, Alize Johnson went nuclear in the Iowa Wolves win tonight! Johnson went 8/8 from 3 including this prayer 🔥🔥🔥 College: 32.5 3P% NBA: 22.7 3P% G League: 35.0 3P% He finished the night with: 41 PTS 10 REB 5 AST 12/15 FG 8/8 3P 6/7 FT +19

Was thinking about how Ricky Rubio led the 2020 Tokyo Olympic basketball tournament in scoring, but totally forgot about the USA team. How the hell did this team win gold lol
