Geriatric millennial, he/him, I think too much about the Timberwolves.
If Wemby can’t handle some issues with foul calls vs the wolves without losing his mind, my lord is he gonna have a tough time in the next round
“How could the Timberwolves have a game like this and consider themselves a championship-level team?” ESPN asks
I was trying to think of a comp for current jokic and I’ve landed at “prime roided Barry bonds but you have to play him at shortstop”
If I’m the wolves I might just rest ant game 2 and hope he’s healthier for game 3. He’s not good enough right now
Glad the wolves are showing up for the series but big picture ant doesn’t look healthy and they jus are not going to be able to win playoff series unless/until he is
I know from afar that you should expect sudden aggression from an aspiring despot like Trump but I’m honestly in a bit of shock right now at the temerity of this
I like bringing slomo back to the wolves; he shouldn’t play in the playoffs absent injury or bad foul trouble, but I like him for the regular season as like a 10th guy who plays when a big is out or suspended
He isn’t the MVP, but in a close game, 2 minutes left, Anthony Edwards is easily the best player in the league
Pairing AD and Trae with some young shooters and athletes, I think the wiz could really make some noise in the 2022 playoffs
Learning about Randle’s struggles with mental health has changed how I look at these deep funks he goes into but it doesn’t change how awful he is when he’s in them
Tonight vs Utah wouldn’t be the worst loss of the year in terms of how the wolves have played but situationally, a fully-healthy squad vs jazz on the back end of a b2b, yeah, it’s definitely the worst
Wolves are getting good shots here vs Utah but you do also have to make them
I’m not even looking at the box score, but this has to have been one of the worst games of conley’s career
Joan looking to try that layup on Wemby with less than a minute left was a dumb move in the moment but absolutely a good sign for Beringer long-term. Wasn’t afraid or overthinking in a high-leverage moment
Is Rudy Gobert really just the inverse of Luka Doncic? Both are generational talents on one side of the ball, capable of nearly single-handedly bringing a team to a top-5 unit.
I know he’s not going to win it because of rep and whatnot but Rudy probably should win DPOY this year, he’s having his best year for the wolves right now
I think Steph just did a “waving arms guy” celebration when he made a layup over wemby
Hosting thanksgiving this year and I’m feeling like making a crazy (but tasty) side dish. Like, “bologna marshmallow stew” kind of unhinged shit, but still good. Any ideas out there?
Did fox just play “they not like us” as the outro music after the trophy ceremony?
A pretty regular part of Timberwolves fandom these days is reading a ton of comments on how bad Rudy is, then checking the box score from the last night and seeing he was like +8 in a 2 pt loss
Reaves and Ayton attack Jaden and Rudy and get a good look and wolves lose. Just not excusable for two players of that defensive caliber to play that poorly on the final shot
I really hope someone at the wolves thinks to send a tape from this game to espn before they run another “is ant anti-clutch” segment sometime this season
Sengun did a “feel the defender’s hand close so rise up through it for a jumper just to draw the foul” tonight and I feel like that should be a pretty big red flag for the league
I want it to work bc I love the swagger but Dillingham really just has few nba-rotation-player skills right now
KOC just resting jj all preseason looking like a giant blunder rn. Clearly not ready for the season
Punting on 4th and half a yard feels like prioritizing jj’s development over trying to win the game
Terrible de play by the Vikings on that drive, specifically Greenard. Allowed Caleb around him on the 3 biggest plays
This whole bills comeback started when that punt coverage dude let his pinky finger touch the goal line
