GG

Nowell and Beasley need to switch roles.

AROOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Love DLo. In past seasons, we'd get smacked by that vet rip through, and now DLo goes for that savvy move for us. KAT also looking like he's maturing. Nowell with 16. All the guys are amazing. Naz is kinda struggling with creating in the paint.

We only allowed 17 points in the fourth quarter.

Good win. Wish it would’ve been easier since they didn’t have Luka or KP in the second half.

Gotta get Tuesday’s game at their place. Create a little wiggle room and try moving out of the play in game

That 3 from KAT at the end was bit crazy...it was a long 3 and he shooted it without any hesitation..that's what frustrates me when he passes up so many open looks from 3 (especially this season)...dude should be attempting more 3's

With their fourth straight win, the hottest team in the Western Conference is, your Minnesota Timberwolves!

Feels weird passing them. The first 3 or so weeks of the season I kept tabs on them and felt like they were underperforming hard to the eye test but they kept pulling out wins to my surprise. After a while I just felt they were too high for us to catch anytime soon, now we passed them. Crazy. Hope we don't look back and keep them in the rear view mirror.

Welp looks like it's time for me to look at power rankings again lol. Couldn't bear it when we dropped 5 straight.

We did it without Ant. They were missing guys to, but Ant is our best creator outside of KAT.

15 3 point attempts per game wouldn’t bother other me a bit.

Thought wolves would be able to pass Memphis when they lost Ja after the wolves destroyed them but they’ve been better without him.

Lol i cant look at Power rankings too when we suck. I’d imagine we’re top 15 now.

Memphis is unreal right now, I just saw their record and had to take a double take. The hell is going on over there?

My guess is good karma. They gave us Pat Bev and took only Culver and Juancho. An act of charity that magnanimous deserves some good karma.

Could happen as soon as Tuesday. I doubt the Lakers beat the Suns without getting a lot of guys back, and I don’t think they will by Tuesday. We just gotta beat Dallas again.
