  • Timberwolves vs. Nuggets Preview (The Rocky Mountain High Edition)

    The Wolves are in Denver to close out their West Coast road trip tonight at 8 P.M. CST. The game can be seen on FSN or League Pass, or heard on WCCO 830 AM. The Wolves have won three of…

  • Some notes on a Wolves win

    1st Quarter Notes: Pekovic going right at Greg Monroe in the early going, racks up a handful of quick baskets.  On the other end, Detroit color guy says Monroe will be able to take Pekovic off the dribble.  Not so;…

  • What is Anthony Randolph’s Upside?

    Derrick Williams sucked Thursday night against the Clippers after looking great against Denver the night before. Williams only managed to muster 4 points against the Clips after thrashing the Nuggets’ front line. Meanwhile, you have Anthony Randolph. Randolph almost never plays. But…

  • The Anthony Randolph Appreciation Post

    With the Clippers coming to town at full strength and with hopes of contending for the Western Conference title, a Wolves victory was not realistic.  As they remain without Love and Rubio (and Ridnour and Wayne and Darko) tonight’s game…

  • Royal Beatdown (KINGS 115, Wolves 99)

    With Ricky on the mend (surgery this Wednesday), the season hitting the homestretch, and the Wolves’ playoff hopes looking dimmer by the day (now 2.5 games behind Houston for the 8 seed), there is less and less to add to…

  • Millsap’d Again (JAZZ 111, Wolves 105)

    When Paul Millsap missed a wide-open layup as the regulation buzzer sounded, it looked like the Wolves might actually steal this one from the Jazz.  They had trailed Utah 92-80 with only 4 minutes to go before pulling off a…

  • INBOX: ’08ers Being Frozen Out? (The Conspiracy Theory Edition)

    Andy G: We wrote some about the awesome 2008 Draft class, yesterday. With Michael Beasley losing minutes to Wesley Johnson, and AR15 racking up DNP-CD’s the way J.J. Barea racks up wild turnovers, is it possible that these restricted free…

  • INBOX: The Trade Speculation Edition

      Q: How about this: Derrick Williams and Nikola Pekovic for Eric Gordon and Trevor Ariza? The Wolves need a shooting guard. Pek is playing out of his mind. Williams still has the reputation value of a #2 pick. Gordon is…

  • The Kobe System: Minneapolis Edition (Lakers 106, WOLVES 101)

    With the Wolves playing again tonight (at Houston, 7:00 CST, FSN North) I’m going to wrap up last night’s loss to the Lakers rather briefly, Clint Eastwood style. The Good The end-of-third-quarter lineup of Rubio-Webster-Beasley-Randolph-Love.  After the struggling through two…

  • Revenge of the Iron Ranger (Rockets 107, WOLVES 92)

    For a recap of tonight’s one-sided loss to the Houston Rockets, click here. For even more detail, click on any number of the excellent blogs in the right column. For some observations, questions, and ramblings from a frustrated fan who…

  • Pistons Preview

    The Wolves should win easily tonight against the Pistons, but Monday’s ugly win over SAC illustrates that you can’t take anything for granted. What I’m most interested in about tonight’s game is Adelman’s rotations. What adjustments should he make? Here’s…

  • 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,…

  • Two Steps Back (Cavaliers 98, WOLVES 87)

    Friday Night’s matchup with Cleveland was a new sort of test for the Adelman Wolves.  After a brutal stretch of title-contending opposition, the Wolves now faced an eminently-beatable opponent in the Cavs.  Of course, as you probably already know, the…

  • 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…
