Timberwolves' defense has allowed 92 points or fewer in four straight games.

They're the first NBA team to do that since the Grizzlies in 2021.

And this is the first Timberwolves team to do that since 2008.

it’s a stupid game, ginned up to curry interest during a quiet time in the nba, and awards the trophy to the team that is hot at the start of the year and has no bearing (other than coincidence) on the regular or post season. stupid games yield stupid prizes

Games added
Two regular season games were added to the Wolves’ slate after other teams qualified for the in-season Emirates Cup.
The Wolves will play host to the Lakers on Friday, Dec. 13, then play at San Antonio on Sunday, Dec. 15.

How long will this In Season tournament last? Seems pretty dumb.

How about giving winning team an extra 1st round pick(at end of 1st round)? Something that has some value.

I don't really mind the in season tournament. Won't pay much attention to it. I don't think most fans will. It's a gimmick to make players give a shit about games in December by dangling some extra buck at them. It's sad that that's what it takes, but not a big deal. They're just games to me like any other.

They are trying to increase viewership but it is still falling.

Okay, we're well into December now and I have seen enough to say the state of the post KAT Timberwolves is not good.

I've been stating that for over a month. We simply lost that trade. Didn't like it from the start.

If the goal was to get out of the second apron, I wish the Wolves would have traded Rudy instead.

Short term, yes. I still think moving Towns was the right move long term though.

I don't. We no longer have that second star. Randle isn't it and we aren't likely to find one quick. Long term, I still say moving Rudy would have been the smarter play.

YES!!!!!

Per canis the wolves sound awful and painful to watch.

Also sounds like Randle needs to be shipped out sooner the better.



twinsfan -> RE: Timberwolves 2024/2025 Season (12/23/2024 8:54:40 PM)

The Wolves are a joke. Hated the KAT trade at the time. Hate it still.



twinsfan -> RE: Timberwolves 2024/2025 Season (12/23/2024 8:56:24 PM)

And why isn't DL posting about his favorite team anymore?



Bill Jandro -> RE: Timberwolves 2024/2025 Season (12/25/2024 7:29:08 AM)

After the Wolves lose by 40 today on national TV they will have officially hit rock bottom.



twinsfan -> RE: Timberwolves 2024/2025 Season (12/25/2024 2:38:07 PM)

What's up with the Wolves today?!?!?!



TJSweens -> RE: Timberwolves 2024/2025 Season (12/25/2024 6:11:33 PM)

I hate wins that feel like losses. Up 26 in the 3rd. Luka out of the game and the Wolves have to hang on for dear life.

The Wolves have a 4th quarter problem this year. That’s the main difference from last year. They’re still generally a very good team for 3 quarters. Probably as good as last year. But last year they knew how to close out games. This year they go flat. That’s the difference between an upper tier team and a .500 playoff bubble team.

There are times when Ant is on the bench where they just don't score. Naz made just a couple of buckets and we held up but there isn't any easy buckets coming outside of that.

Naz needs to be that guy and he has been on a cold streak as has Donte.

Dallas used their Center position to get easy dunks during last postseason..... You would think Jaden would be ideal as would Gobert to get 1-2 easy dunks on drives when we are struggling.



Mark Anderson -> RE: Timberwolves 2024/2025 Season (12/29/2024 7:19:45 PM)

NBA is comical. Fined Ant 100K for swearing in a TV interview(can't they bleep it out)

But, if you take your kids to a game and they sit in the 1st ten rows, the player's language would make Pulp Fiction blush.

We used to hear Kevin Garnett loud and clear many times on TV.

I believe he had been warned multiple times....



Karl Juhnke -> RE: Timberwolves 2024/2025 Season (12/30/2024 8:40:17 PM)

The fines are silly of course. This is 2024. Bleep out curse words if you don’t like them.

But Ant is admittedly being silly too. Just don’t curse to the media. It’s not that hard. Be a grown up.

So yeah, the whole thing is just stupid on both sides.
