I wouldn't know which team could lock me in. Maybe Portland or Mavs, maybe if Grizz continue their good drafting, maybe Miami now that they've changed a bit (but that could change again quickly if they go star hunting). Not sure.

I couldn't feel good about spending time on Lakers, Philly, Celtcs bug me for some reason although I've been a little amped for them ever since they added Tacko Falls. Has anyone ever looked at his per36 numbers? If he could learn to shoot FTs he might be amazing in a rotation, even 10 minutes every game. But nah, he only got into 7 games. Any of the teams regulartly buying stars would drive me away. Bucks I enjoyed unti Giannis went diva and the team just pisses money down drains each year now for him.

I like how Portland isn't confused about who they are, ever. Dame sticking there, can't beat that. He and McCollum as long time pair. But you probably have to enjoy that kind of player. Liked their moves this offseason although they are only 7-5 so far this year. The struggle seems like home with a little more positivity and a lot more identity.


Pop and the Spurs are easy for me. They play the right way.
Plus I gained a lot of respect for the Spurs from the time KG and the team played them in the playoffs.

I'd probably quit if I could. Like if I could get that eternal Sunshine for a spotless mind procedure for the Timberwolves, I think that would be a good deal.

But realistically I think I'm in for life.

Management has been moved on to chuck a wobbley because we were in a **** situation and its not amazing after 18 months is toddler ****. Turned over 80% of the roster in 8 months. We still have problems but jesus christ people want amazing change in no time. If we still are like this next year, fine maybe start.

But if you want to quit on the team nobody will miss you

It was a week ago, when we were up double digits to the Grizzlies and then we lost that game. Then my mom passed away later that day. I watch Timberwolves games to just take off my mind off my mom who was battling cancer for 3 years even for a bit, sorta like an escape for a while.

I watched the Hawks game a couple of days ago before we laid my mom to rest later that day, we of course, lost that game to the Hawks.

Now it's a been a week since my mom passed away and I watch this ORL game and we lose through a gut wrenching buzzer beater.

I don't know why I'm a sucker for this type of beating. Watching these games should be fun, even through the Rambis-Kahn years I watched Timberwolves games. Even through the darkest Thibs regime part. But this team right now, just blows them away in making you miserable. Maybe I'm just too broken right now. No, I won't give up watching. I'm forever a Timberwolves fan.

But I really do hope they start winning again soon. I hope KAT comes back healthy. I hope Rubio finds his groove and starts feeding guys and plays happily again. I hope Edwards and Culver don't bust and hope they'll be serious contenders for ROY (for Edwards) and Most Improved / 6th Man (for Culver). I hope. That's the beauty of being in the rock bottom, you can only look up.

Go 'Wolves!

Thoughts are with you and yours my friend.

Damn Dalvin very sorry to hear that man. I really wish you well and hope the wolves don't continue to bring you down. Thoughts and prayers for you and your family man. :pray:

Sorry for your loss, Dalvin. I know these are tough times but I hope you find joy in many things in your life as soon as possible, and if the Wolves aren't helping at the moment, don't worry about looking for something else in the meantime, getting some happiness back is absolutely worth it.

I don’t get FSNorth on YouTubeTV which is a blessing right now. So I streamed the first 4 games. After losing to winless westbrookless Washington by like 20 I haven’t attempted to find a stream since.


Life’s good. Scoreboard watch, enjoy your evenings, life’s too short to be associated with these losers

Portland definitely. Lillard is my kinda superstar, and seems like a decent cat as well, plus I wanted the Wolves to draft McCollum so bad. As a franchise Portland always seems to be do a little bit better than you would expect based on predictions, and they haven't won a championship recently so it doesn't feel like bandwaggoning to follow them. I dig the Celtics too because they have that gritty mentality that seems to get them a little closer each year.

It's really dificult indeed.
There's nothing to look for... NOTHING, not the develoment (lol) of this trashy team and we can't even be serious about looking for to get top prospects to build something.

I will gladly comeback to this board when Rosas gets the hell out of the Timberwolves. Hopefully really soon. I never seen a guy doing so much damage in such a little period of time.

And i got slammed for saying after just one game of pre-season that was a joke to get into a season, a must win season with this roster.
A completely joke.

So I will not post any long post here on this board. It requires time, and now as we are expecting our fourth child, I've opted out to create and support/promote my own telegram channel (+podcast) dedicated to MIN. Obviously, it is in Russian, so I can save some time, writing in my mother language.

Stay healthy and safe MIN brotherhood!


This looks like a good place to chime in. Congratulations on your 4th child. What a wonderful miracle that is about to happen. Best to you.

As for me, I started with the first game ever played at the Metrodome. I rarely miss a game so I've seen more bad basketball than any one deserves to so I'll stick around. One day it will happen here.

Best of luck to you. I hope you change your mind and come back. I understand the frustration.

Sorry for your loss Dalvin. Maybe skip the Wolves until Kat gets back if you can. Hang in there and power through this.

If you like 3s, some don't, Utah is trying to outshoot Rosas dreams to take the league. 3rd place in league. Wolves beat them with KAT. I'm looking for silver linings and watching the youngsters for signs lately.

Hey the Miami Heat are 6-12 and they were in the finals a couple months back.
