The Wolves take on the Portland Trailblazers tonight in Minneapolis. Tip is at 7 P.M. CST. You can watch live on FSN or League Pass, or listen on WCCO 830. The Blazers have the best record in the NBA at…

1. Barea wasting a 2-for-1 opportunity in the biggest possession of the game so that he could jack up a terrible shot with a dwindling shot clock. 2. Pekovic missing wide open dunks. 3. Brewer missing wide open dunks. 4.…

The Wolves are in Boston tonight to close a three-game road trip. The game will be on NBATV at 7:30 P.M EST. The 12-12 Wolves will be going up against a surprisingly decent Celtics team, whose 11-14 record is probably…

The Wolves three-game road trip — began on Friday, ends tomorrow night — spans the entire NBA spectrum. Friday night was at San Antonio, where the Spurs are the league’s gold standard of consistent excellence. Tonight was at Memphis, last…

Good Cop: Wolves win! The Timberwolves beat the visiting Philadelphia 76ers 106-99 at Target Center on a bitter-cold, not-yet-actually-Winter’s night. The victory ups their record to 11-11, back to .500 around the season’s quarter mark. Bad Cop: The win came…

Road win by 27. That works. — Punch-Drunk Wolves (@PDWolves) December 11, 2013 Tonight’s game was the opposite of Saturday’s versus Miami at Target Center. Rather than miss tons of shots, the Wolves made tons of shots (11-24 from three).…

The Wolves were not supposed to win this game, and like most other games the Wolves are not supposed to win, they did not win it. In the first half, Minnesota was cruising on offense behind the hot shooting of…

Last Night The Wolves snapped their three-game losing streak last night in Dallas. Nikola Pekovic dominated early, posting up Samuel Dalembert. He also made a great slip cut on a play that also had Love cutting before him. Ricky, of…

(Eds. Note: Andy G and Patrick J clearly don’t know what to do with themselves over a long weekend because they both wrote preview posts, unbeknownst to the other. Here’s part deux.) The Timberwolves are in Dallas to take on…

Hey Wolves fans. I just got back from Thanksgiving in Zumbrota, Minnesota (yes that’s right, the original home of Jacksonville Jaguars coach, Gus Bradley.) As the lead picture shows, I was digging through some of my old prized possessions sitting…

Well, that was frustrating. Even if we didn’t expect a win, it’s still frustrating to watch a game get out of hand down the stretch, and doubly so when shots won’t fall. Since it’s Monday and I don’t feel like…

Weekend Split: A Friday Win & Saturday Loss The Timberwolves won on Friday against the Nets and lost on Saturday against the Rockets, continuing an early season trend of winning at home and losing on the road. (The Wolves are…

There isn’t much to say about last night’s game other than the Nets — literally — did not look like an NBA team. The Wolves played fine, but were hardly at their best, yet still led by 16 after 1,…

If you view an NBA season as a marathon, and each game as 1 micro-sampling not be taken very seriously, go to A. If you view each NBA game as a meaningful event worthy of dissection and takeaways, go to…

The Good J.J. Barea continued his productive play with 12 points (5-10 shooting) and 7 assists (compared to 2 turnovers) in 29 minutes of +9 action off the bench. He was the Wolves best option at point guard tonight, as…

Andy G: I closed yesterday’s post with: “If last night’s loss was an eye opener for the defense, perhaps a renewed focus can keep the Celtics under 90 points tonight and give the fans an enjoyable win to watch.” Well,…

In forecasting this Timberwolves season, pundits came to a broad consensus about strengths and weaknesses. With the acquisitions made at Flip Saunders’ direction the Wolves would be a team that plays fast, scores a lot of points, but would struggle…

Hi folks. I’m slammed at work today and don’t have time to write an in-depth preview of tonight’s game at Denver, which will be televised on ESPN. Mea culpa. Good previews can be found here and here. And a whimsical…

About twenty minutes ago, Matt Barnes and Serge Ibaka were both ejected from a basketball game. Ibaka fouled Blake Griffin under the basket and the two star big men got their arms twisted up. Whether it was aggressive basketball or…
