While the world continued to wait for LeBron James’ next Decision, Timberwolves fans in Minneapolis stepped away from Adrian Wojnarowski’s Twitter account for 90 minutes of intrasquad scrimmage. The Wolves invited fans to watch the summer league roster run up…

So, on Thursday night the Wolves drafted Zach Lavine (Eds. Note: That’s how we spell it here.) and Glenn Robinson III with their first and second-round draft picks. Lavine infuriated fans with his alleged response to the Wolves selecting him.…

The draft is tomorrow. It kind of snuck up on Punch-Drunk this year. Rather than micro-analyze each prospect’s interviews like last year, we haven’t paid the whole thing much attention at all. I blame Kevin Love. Anyway, we’ll dig into what…

Is it reconcilable to consider Ricky Rubio to be a good NBA point guard, and at the same time object to trading Kevin Love for established, highly-paid veteran players like the ones rumored to be involved in the Golden State…

As you already know, Kevin Love is on the trading block. Where he plays next season remains an unanswered question, but we are beyond the period of speculating whether or not the team is answering phone calls and entertaining serious…

In case you missed it (and at this point I doubt anybody reading this site missed it) Flip Saunders has been named head coach of the Minnesota Timberwolves. He actually appointed himself leader of the sideline from his lofty perch…

Canis Hoopus Roundtable Part I Patrick and I, along with some other Wolves writers that you are familiar with, participated in a little Roundtable/Q & A over at Canis Hoopus. Go check it out.

I recently read an interesting paper, entitled “Profiting from Machine Learning in the NBA Draft (paper available here).” The author of the paper is Philip Maymin, Assistant Professor of Finance and Risk Engineering at the NYU School of Engineering. Maymin has…

[This is part 2 of a multipart season-review series. This post looks back in time at the season that was and a bit of what is to come. A subsequent post will use what we learned this season to take…

At what point on the basketball-playing spectrum does tossing the ball through the rim become “work” ?? — Punch-Drunk Wolves (@PDWolves) April 10, 2014

Andy G: The Wolves took on LeBron James and the two-time defending champion Miami Heat last night, so they must’ve lost, right? No! For the first time in approximately forever the Wolves were victors over a team with LeBron James…

So I just clicked on the Timberwolves team stats page and was shocked by something I saw: Shabazz Muhammad is shooting 46.3 percent from the field, this year. That statistic is not shocking because it is great or unusual in…

“[Gorgui Dieng] really rebounded the ball. That’s the thing I really like about him. The more he’s played in the last few games, the more calm he is offensively. He’s slowed down a little bit. He made a couple moves…

I apologize for the lack of content over the past few days. Since the double-overtime win over the Mavs, when Ricky Rubio put together a triple double and one of his greatest ever performances, the following has happened: * The…

But the Knicks, they put the shackles on him, man, you know, on his whole game. They locked him up, like, in a straight jacket or something. But when he was in the streets of Philly, in the playgrounds, ahh!…

The Timberwolves aren’t making the playoffs. Let’s put that idea behind us. The Wolves underachieved this year. It doesn’t matter how many more games they win or lose. Making the playoffs this season was a benchmark – the benchmark – for that…

(Not safe for work, language) @PDWolves: See, for me, it’s like that scene in Good Will Hunting. You guys have seen that, right? @brianjacobson: Yeah. @bobs219 (nods) @GymRatInParis (doing something on phone, not paying attention) @PDWolves: Ben Affleck’s like, “One…

The Opponent The New York Knickerbockers are in town. That sounds cooler than it actually is. Despite their rich history and big-market glitz (and luxury-tax qualifying payroll), the Knicks are terrible this year. New York’s record of 21-40 only tells…
