There was a game a couple of years ago against the Spurs. It was at home. It was early in the lockout-shortened season on a Friday night. I remember watching it at a sports bar after work, with some friends.…

Some caveats before praising the Timberwolves before acknowledging some (minor?) causes for concern before looking ahead to an exciting weekend of matchups. Caveats The Jazz are bad. It’s nice to see the Wolves win any game, let alone one on…

After rolling over the Utah Jazz (14-28) 98-72 at home on Saturday, the Timberwolves (19-21) are in Salt Lake City to take on the Jazz in the second game of a rare home-and-home involving the Wolves. On Friday, everything that…

The problem has less to do with where we are than where it appears we are headed. With last night’s loss the Timberwolves are three games below .500 for the first time all season. Technically, they are only four games…

Losing to the Spurs in San Antonio isn’t a cause for alarm. They remain the class of the conference, significantly ahead of our developing Timberpups. However, tonight’s game was a little bit more winnable than the usual matchup with Team…

Timberwolves rookie Shabazz Muhammad has now played his first three D-League games. Assigned to the Iowa Energy, Muhammad participated in the D-League Showcase this week, helping the Energy to two wins (box scores here and here). Muhammad and the Energy…

Last night’s game was weird. It wasn’t weird because of the result; a blowout Timberwolves win over an overmatched, Eastern Conference opponent at Target Center. That’s a common occurrence this season. It also wasn’t weird because of how that favorable…

Flip Saunders’ Timberwolves traveled to Philadelphia and came away winners. By 31 points. The game was one sided at halftime and lopsided after that. Serious analysis becomes difficult when my biggest question is when Gorgui Dieng will check in the…

The Timberwolves are back to five hundred. On Friday night at Target Center, they beat the Wizards by 22. On Saturday night in Milwaukee, they beat the Bucks by the same lopsided margin. With these wins, their record is now…

Being emotionally fragile is an important part of being a successful critic; it’s an integral element to being engaged with mainstream art, assuming you aspire to write about it in public. If you hate everything, you’re a banal asshole .…

The Timberwolves lost, last night. They lost to the Lakers. L.A., as you probably already know, is without veterans Steve Nash, Kobe Bryant, and even Steve Blake and Jordan Farmar. In their stead are Nick Young (The Swaggy Point Guard…

3.2 That is the number of points per game scored by J.J. Barea on drives to the basket. It’s the most on the Timberwolves team and ranks just 40th out of all players in the entire league. Second most on…

1. The Bruise Brothers putting up a 59 & 24. Total domination. 2. Ricky Rubio making an impact with his defense — contrary to this: @JustinPinotti @brettahlgren @JohnEPalm Ricky gambles and gets a lot of steals but he certainly isn't…
