  • Playing the Matchups (WOLVES 99, Kings 86)

  • The Best Power Forward in Timberwolves History

    A well-known commentator writes: “Yes, right now Love has been more effective than Kevin Garnett was here, even in his prime. Love is averaging 25.0 points and 14.6 rebounds per game during his fourth professional season. Garnett averaged 20.8 and 10.4 at…

  • Buzz Kill (Wolves 87, Hornets 80)

    The Wolves eked out an 87-80 win Friday night over the Hornets. There were no two ways about this one: it was either going to be a much-needed win or a bad loss against an already sub-par Hornets team whose best player,…

  • Game 3: The Heatles (Heat 103, Wolves 101)

    The Wolves lost a 103-101 heartbreaker Friday night against the Heat and Birthday Boy LeBron James.  It was a heartbreaker both because of the promise the Wolves showed and the mistakes they made, as well as because the defeat is…

  • An Open Letter to Wesley Johnson

    Dear Wes, With the announcement that J.J. Barea will not play (pulled hamstring, likely to return on Sunday versus Dallas) in tonight’s game versus the Miami Heat (7:00 CST, Target Center), I wanted to take this bit of time to write…

  • Inbox #1: Kevin Garnett, Hypothetical Trade Target

    Andy G writes: Celtics got BLOWN OUT by the Gordon-less Hornets last night. If Ainge would take Derrick Williams + every last bad Wolves contract and would send us KG (and his EXPIRING $21 million deal), would you do it?…
