Updates on the Rick Adelman/Timberwolves coaching situation from the beat: Update: Adelman was at Target Center this morning meeting with coaches but is not coaching practice and probably won't coach Thurs vs Clips — Jerry Zgoda (@JerryZgoda) January 16, 2013…

GOOD COP: Nikola Pekovic put together a 20 & 12 in 32 minutes. BAD COP: Pek missed 6 free throws, had a game-worst -24 (correlation, not causation, to be fair) and Coach Terry Porter weirdly limited his best player to…

Mark Cuban can make it rain. But does he? (No, he says. Read here why.) Can the Wolves make it rain tonight in Dallas? What about Juice and Dirk? Am I mixing metaphors? Could you tell if I weren’t? (RHETORICAL!)…

We can live with Tony Parker’s 20 points and 6 assists. Manu Ginobili’s 12 points and 5 dimes. Timmy’s 12, 9 and 5. Hell, even his 3 steals and 7 blocks. But the problem with tonight’s game was that Manu…

The Wolves are coming off a tough loss at New Orleans on Friday night, in which they were beat handily by the worst team in the Western Conference. It doesn’t get any easier tonight at San Antonio. The Spurs are…

For one quarter of last night’s game, things were made impossibly easy for the Timberwolves. I don’t know if the Pelicans Hornets players were sweating out last night’s Hurricanes or what, but they came out flat as a pancake and…

Alright folks, the Wolves come off a crushing defeat at Oklahoma City to play a much easier opponent in tonight’s tilt against the Hornets in Nola. The story here? Here’s one: Eric Gordon is finally back and playing in…

Getting beat in this game (given opponent, back-to-back, and injuries) is not unexpected. But it's getting a little ugly out there. — Punch-Drunk Wolves (@PDWolves) January 10, 2013 1. Excuses The Wolves had plenty of them. Coach Rick Adelman remained…

The Wolves got a nice win over Atlanta last night at Target Center. Tonight they have the Thunder, in Oklahoma City, on the wrong end of a back-to-back against the team with the second-best record in the NBA. As nice as…

Kevin Love: 2012-13 Return Uncertain Wolves fans learned today that All-Star forward Kevin Love may miss the rest of the 2012-13 season. How big is the loss? It’s hard to say. Love missed the Wolves’ first nine games with a broken…

https://twitter.com/JonesOnTheNBA/status/288822494335479809 This win could be described quickly and simply, or in great detail on each key Timberwolf’s impressive performance. I’ll try my best at each. Quick and Simple The Wolves hosted a good Hawks team tonight; one with an impressive…

UPDATE (4:58 PM): Add Rick Adelman to the Injury Report list. He won’t attend the game tonight for personal reasons, say reports. Hope all is okay with Rick and the Adelmans. Tonight’s tilt is against the Atlanta Hawks at Target…

1. Kevin Love broke his hand. Again. Injury Report: An MRI today revealed that #Twolves All-Star @kevinlove has re-fractured the third metacarpal on his right hand. — Timberwolves PR (@Twolves_PR) January 5, 2013 This was the big news to hit…

https://twitter.com/JWFOCKE/status/287609927558635520 First things first. No Rubio tonight. No Love tonight. Both are mild surprises (to me, at least) as I thought Ricky’s 9 days off would be enough to get his back spasms resolved, perhaps with more strength work on…

“I think Minnesota at times plays better without Love.” -George Karl, following last night’s Wolves-Nuggets game. It didn’t take George Karl’s comments to detonate the nuclear bomb of Kevin Love derision that followed last night’s surprising win at Denver. This…

JJ, i'm sorry for the things i said about you yesterday…i meant all of them and i still do…but i love you right now — Patrick Fenelon 🌹 (@Patrick_Fenelon) January 4, 2013 “I like to compete. I like to compete. …

PG – Ridnour If you have a size advantage on Luke (and you probably will) then use it. Post him up. He won’t draw a charge, even if you aggressively back him down. (That’s what the other little guy does. …

Okay, folks, the Wolves are winners again. Hallelujah, rejoice. They beat the Phoenix Suns 111-107 last night at home. They did it without Golden Boy Ricky Rubio, about whom I’d written a slurptastic game preview, in which I suggested Rubio…
-
The Wolves have lost four of their last five games. They are 3-2 since Ricky Rubio returned from injury. (Ricky sat out against Miami, because it was the second game of a back-to-back.) Rubio’s role is going to get bigger,…

The Timberwolves are not a bad team. They might even be a pretty good team. ESPN’s Marc Stein’s most-recent rankings slotted them 14th in the league; barely ahead of the middle. John Hollinger’s calculator has them a little bit higher…
