The Wolves are at home for tonight’s tilt against the Cavaliers. The tip is at 7 P.M. CST. You can watch it on FSN (most of you) or League Pass (me). The Wolves will try to undo some of the…

Moral victories feel a little bit better when the team actually has a winning record. The Timberwolves are now 5-3 and last night’s close loss at Staples Center can be filed away as a moral victory for a team with…

I spilled a lot of virtual ink yesterday about the Wolves season to date. They went on to pummel the Lakers, defeating LAL by the most points in franchise history and for the first time in years. Three pointers by…

Tonight the 4-2 Timberwolves will be taking on the 3-4 Lakers in LaLa at the Staples Center. The game is at 9:30 P.M Eastern, 8:30 P.M. Central. I’ll be watching on League Pass. Kobe Bryant won’t be walking onto that court.…

The Warriors are really good. That is the one-sentence summary of last night’s game at Target Center. I wasn’t necessarily expecting a Timberwolves win, but if you told me that Andrew Bogut would foul out in 16 minutes, and that…

The 3-1 Golden State Warriors are in ‘Sota to take on the 3-1 Timberwolves tonight at Target Center. Tip is at 7 P.M. CST. You can see it on FSN or NBA League Pass. The Dubs are the darlings of…

For the second straight season, Punch-Drunk Wolves attended a Timberwolves road game. Last year was easy: Pat lived in Washington D.C., where — you know — an NBA team plays. He moved to Pittsburgh in the off-season. While The Steel…

Andy G: Last night, the Timberwolves beat the Knicks and improved their record to 3-0. This marks only the second time in 25 seasons of franchise existence that the team won its first three games. Setting aside what that statistic…

Your 2-0 Minnesota Timberwolves are in New York and take on the 1-1 Knicks Sunday night at Madison Square Garden at 7:30 Eastern. Coming off a blowout victory Friday night against Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Wolves…

I’m well familiar with this struggle. Blogging about the Timberwolves has often meant trying to think up interesting observations of a blowout game. It was a 15-point game after the first quarter, 20 at half, and 28 (!) after three.…

The undefeated Minnesota Timberwolves, fresh off of a season-opening victory in overtime against the Orlando Magic, take on a more formidable opponent in the Oklahoma City Thunder tonight at Target Center. You should watch it if you want to see…
-
Some ambivalence about tonight’s game: The Wolves barely — BARELY — escaped their home opener against a lottobound Magic team with a win. It took an out-of-timeout, set-play three-pointer from K-Love just to tie the game with 10 seconds left.…

The Wolves open their season tonight in Minneapolis against the already-tanking-for-Wiggins hard-charging Orlando Magic, who’re 0-1 after last night’s season-opener loss to Indiana. (Eds. Note: Is there anyway to figure out how many fantasy teams there are this season named “Tanking…

The NBA season is less than 24 hours away. The Timberwolves begin theirs on Wednesday Night versus the Magic. For the past six months we’ve relied on secondary sources to satisfy our appetite for pro basketball: The Timberwolves-less playoffs and…

From Darren Wolfson: Caught up very briefly with #Twolves owner Glen Taylor. He confirmed the expected: the 2014-2015 @RealDwill7 option will be exercised. — Darren Wolfson (@DWolfsonKSTP) October 22, 2013 First, what it means on the salary sheet:

In their last televised game of the preseason, the playoff-hopeful Timberwolves easily defeated the blown-up and rebuilding Celtics. It’s difficult to glean much from a preseason game, and doubly so when the opponent is severely undermanned and the score differential…

Patrick J: The Wolves were defeated by the Raptors last night 104-97. The Raps are a surprisingly good 3-1 on the preseason. A few notes: *Kevin Love: Kevin Love played like Kevin Love. He looks more and more like Daniel…

THE WOLVES SO FAR So, there’s been a lot written already about the Wolves and the players’ individual performances so far during the preseason. The Offense Patrick J: One angle that has gotten less attention is some of the sets…

The final score might alarm casual fans, or even incite some good old fashioned Timberwolves jokes. But it really shouldn’t. First, international basketball — particularly at the level played by CSKA Moscow — is very close to the NBA. Recent…
