From a pure basketball standpoint, Jack Borman is probably the best writer Canis has ever had. Dude should have a national gig, and we're lucky he doesn't.

I always learn something new about the game and about the Timberwolves players and/or schemes when I read him.

Mike Conley is the Key to the Timberwolves’ Postseason Viability

Great game last night!! Wow, they overcame McDaniels limited play due to fouls, Ant and Kat being out of rhythm most of the game offensively, BAD free throw shooting, at least one questionable flagrant call but played excellant defense which probably was the key. Fun, fun, fun, First win on the road against Golden State in 8 years. True playoff basketball has started, hope they can keep the wins coming.

Thompson and Curry a combined 13 for 40. Poole kept them in the game. He's developing into a real good player.

This is the kind of ugly but effective defensive game that could lead to playoff success. Edwards looked nowhere near like himself and Towns wasn't hitting...until the big 3s at the end. But they gutted it out anyway and got the win.

I think that's the overpay they're going to regret as they eventually have to rebuild/retool.

He'll have moments where he gets hot and really lights it up, but he's not a particularly good shooter, he's a poor defender and kind of an atrocious decision maker.

Another quality win. Let's keep stacking w's and go on a tear.

Naz may have played his last game in a Wolves uniform. Although he has surprisingly made it work OK in recent games with KAT and Rudy available, I doubt the Wolves will try to make that a long term situation.

Naz has had a great contract year. He's going to get paid, but probably elsewhere.
