*Nikola Jokic get the ball in the post, does a spin, throws the ball up blindly behind his head and then takes out a wand and guides the ball softly into the hoop*
Reggie Miller: “Rudy Gobert is the worst basketball player of all time!”
Let’s get in bed with gambling companies and then be shocked when players have concerns and suspicions.
Every single professional league is going down a dark path with this shit.
I want this Wolves team to bury everyone in the playoffs. I want blowout massacres. I want sweeps. I will accept gentlemen sweeps. I want them to be respected. I want redemption for this fanbase.
Making the Western Conference Finals is pretty impressive, but can you imagine how good the Timberwolves would be if they had held onto Walker Kessler?!?!
Here’s my personal list of the biggest All-Star snubs this year:
- Rudy Gobert
- Jaden McDaniels
- Mike Conley
- Naz Reid
- Nickeil Alexander Walker
- Kyle Anderson
- Naz Reid
- Naz Reid
- Jordan McLaughlin
- Naz Reid
- Vít Krejčí
- Naz Reid
Minnesota luxury tax bill increases from $56M to $84M with the selection of Rob Dillingham.
An aggressive move for a Minnesota team that returns the same starting 5 but was faced with limited options in free agency.
The KAT hate is dwindling. Had to scroll down to the fifth comment on an ESPN post before someone mentioned his voice.
Soon they will all bend the knee.
If you jumped off the bandwagon after game 4 then stay off. Go start preparing for the 7 win Vikings season or whatever it is you do.
Whether the Wolves have 2 games left or 17, let the real ones enjoy the rest of this ride.
I love this team and they have been worth the wait.
Tim Connelly to
@JonKrawczynski
at the 2023 trade deadline on NAW:
“This league has become less and less patient. You forget how young he is, its only his fourth year….”
Tim Connelly AND Finchy doing A+ teamwork on that deal.
Feeling inspired by NBA writer Devin O’Connell’s top 50 list!
Tom’s top 50:
1 - 20: Naz Reid
21: Anthony Edwards “the ant man”
22 - 31: Naz Reid
32: Karl “the big purr” Towns
33: Naz Reid
34: Arvydas Sabonis
35: “The Big Baguette” Rudy Gobert
36 - 50: Naz Reid
Rudy Gobert acting brand new & Kyle Anderson loves it. Clippers picked on Rudy with their small ball lineup in the playoffs a few years ago & years later Gobert was out there dominating an even better small ball Clippers team. Boy when those tables turn they turn.
THUNDER HOLD ON, RISE UP
For nearly a month, the Minnesota Timberwolves have held off everyone in the West to keep a lock on the top spot.
But heading into the first full week of March, after two straight Minnesota losses and just 0.5 games separating the top three teams this
“Warriors gotta play desperate right now with no Karl Anthony-Towns. They’re in the play-in spot and they just took a bad loss to the Knicks. Nah Warriors got this one.” - Paul Pierce 🤔
@paulpierce34
rocking with the Warriors in what he believes is a must win. Y’all know me.
NBA fans are the most fickle, mindless, go wherever the wind blows morons in all of sports. How the fuck is anyone out on ANT after two subpar games (one of which was basically a triple double)?
He’s 22. These people are pathetic slugs that live on the whims of social media.
Honestly, would I be crazy to say I’d rather have Jaden than SGA? A super-efficient scoring wing who can playmake is a lot rarer and more valuable than a prototypical high-volume scoring guard
Honestly, would I be crazy to say I’d rather have JDub than Edwards? A super-efficient scoring wing who can playmake is a lot rarer and more valuable than a prototypical high-volume scoring guard
Mike Conley and Anthony Edwards just concluded their morning work with a little opposite hand shooting competition.
Ant may legitimately be ambidextrous.
Question from
@brittrobson
to Rudy Gobert: What's going through your mind when a teammate is just carrying the offense for a 5-minute stretch?
Gobert (laughing): "I set some screens. Cmon, man. Did you see the screens I was setting!?"
This moment alone meant so much to me as a lifelong Timberwolves fan that
every miserable 20 win season that failed to produce a good lottery ball was 100% worth it.
I love this team.

The Wolves are undefeated on days that I eat a Turkey and Colby Jack sandwich on artisan white bread AND I would bet good money that streak continues today.
I’m still taking a break, but I do want to announce that last night I drove by multiple McDonald’s and Taco Bell locations without stopping to eat my feelings. Instead I went home and made a Turkey and cheddar sandwich.
This tells us:
1. I am growing as a person.
2. Wolves 6.
For the love of god, if you’re at the game, ditch the booing Murray junk and stick with sustained NOISE.
Is it the difference between winning and losing? No, but it makes for a hell of a lot better atmosphere and that is energy the team can feed on.
Come to game 3. Come to game 3. Come to game 3. Come to game 3. Come to game 3. Come to game 3. Come to game 3. Come to game 3. Come to game 3. Come to game 3. Come to game 3. Come to game 3. Come to game 3. Come to game 3. Come to game 3. Come to game 3.
“This going to be the most watched series (Denver/T-Wolves) of all series… I’m taking the Wolves in the first game”
I’m unavailable for anybody looking for me today. This series gon be electric lord. I’m taking my Young Wolves to steal game 1 in Denver. Ant-Man handled business
At a Minneapolis Millers game in 1946, Karl Anthony Towns threatened my grandfather with a drawing of brass knuckles after confronting him for only saying “thanks” to a cracker jack vendor instead of the proper “thank you”
But you all dont want to hear that because of Woke
Enjoy it and dream.
I promise you Minnesota sports fans, IT IS OK TO DREAM. Whatever happens Sunday doesn’t matter. Don’t let the negative ass history of teams in the town ever stop you from enjoying this moment for all it is worth.
BELIEVE.
