1. The oxygen shortage that was last night’s game. The Wolves were 15.5 underdogs in last night’s game at Denver. Denver never loses at home. The Wolves, without 4 important starters, almost never win. We lost by 23. Denver ran…

Wolves take on the surging Denver Nuggets tonight. 8:00 tip seen on My29 or heard on 830 WCCO. Apparently Denver is getting blasted by snow. 8-14" expected in Denver with 30-40mph winds until 11pm tonight. Doesn't bode well for our…

1. A win! Normally a hard-fought home win over the Wizards in March wouldn’t feel like cause for celebration. But this was — like all too many games this season — an extremely shorthanded Wolves lineup without Andrei Kirilenko, Nikola…

John Wall. Ricky Rubio. That’s it. No Love no Bud no Pek no ‘Drei no Roy. Ho hum. You should watch tonight’s game if for no reason other than that no other point guard in the NBA can do what…

If you follow The Association with much interest then you know — or you’re beginning to understand, anyway — that the new collective bargaining agreement was a game changer. The new luxury tax rates and rules, while still technically part…

Wolves @ Portland. 9 PM CST. CH. 29 (830-AM). Kaboom. Coming off a 116-94 beating in LaLa on Thursday night, the Wolves close out their West Coast tour tonight at the Rose Garden as guests of the Portland Trailblazers and VULCAN INC.…

Wolves vs. Lakers. 9:30 PM. Staples. TNT. Boom. Let’s have some fun with… Matchups! PG: Ricky Rubio vs. Steve Nash: Before we knew Ricky, we thought he’d be something like Nash minus the jumper. Turns out that the only…

Last night was one of those when despite having paid for a cable subscription, an NBA League Pass subscription, and even Timberwolves season tickets, I was unable to watch the Timberwolves game. Comcast was not showing the game on “FSN…

In a rare matinee, the Wolves lost by one point to the playoffs-bound Warriors. After a near-perfect first quarter of play, things became more difficult. Golden State got serious, beginning with Jarrett Jack nearly getting ejected for JACKING Greg Stiemsma…

Sometimes the simple game flow image tells 90 percent of the game story. Last night the Thunder built an early lead — 10 points after the first quarter — and never looked back. The Wolves almost had the lead cut…

I’m on the road today – lovely Pittsburgh is the destination – so I’ll keep this light. The Wolves beat the Thunder on December 20th. The Wolves were above .500 back then. The Thunder had the best record in the…

It was Business Time tonight. The Wolves were coming off of All-Star Break with excuses limited to the absences of Kevin Love and Chase Budinger. Ehh, I guess that’s my way of saying Andrei Kirilenko was back. Oh, and the…

Tonight it’s back to the grind. The Philadelphia 76ers come to town for a 7 PM (FSN) tilt at Target Center. The 76ers are 22-29 on the season, 6-16 on the road. If the season ended today, the Sixers would…

THE GOOD Ricky Rubio Rubio damn near went Ice Cube tonight, messin’ around and almost getting a triple double. He had 18 points (12-13 free throws) 9 rebounds and 10 assists. He had 4 steals and even 1 block. Just…

“We have to keep working. We know that we believe in us, and we have to keep believing.” –Ricky Rubio 5 quick takeaways from tonight’s win: 1 – Hot Hand Luke Luke Ridnour continued his hot shooting of late. He…

Tonight the Wolves are in Cleveland to take on Kyrie Lee Irving and his Cleveland Cavaliers (6PM CST, FSN, 830-AM). Hands down, Kyrie Irving has the best handle, and possibly the coolest offensive repertoire in the NBA. That’s the need-to-know. Rinse, repeat,…

This was a blowout. Blowouts are difficult to analyze. It’s difficult to bring myself to write about it, and it’s difficult to put stats in the proper perspective when most of them meant nothing. The first quarter was close, mostly…
