I expect at least 10 posts saying you hate "x" player that's going off on the other team :lol:

This could be our "Are the Wolves foreal?" game if we win, if we don't, same ol' same ol' unless we put together a big win streak

You know me so well :)

I literally thought you were making a ludicrous joke.

I heard that GSW made a huge marketing push for Wiggins, but fan voting only counts for half. Crazy.

Same player as always does not rebound or pass much but better defensively now?

Loss both: Lose play-in


Inspired. Now let’s ask what happens if Jokic breaks his wrist or Gobert breaks his ankle. There are so many variables outside of these two specific games you simply cannot begin to make that statement.

But for the sake of argument let’s humor you. What happens if we win both Denver games, beat the Lakers, and sweep the remaining Dallas games? Losing two doesn’t mean anything at this point.

Finally, with the trade deadline approaching and our stated goal of being buyers how does playing two games without Bev and without whatever reinforcements we might acquire say we cannot compete in the playoffs in round 1?


Because what I said was solely for fun and not in any way a serious comment.


I get your gist and I'm inclined to agree. Bottom line is we need to beat the good teams too.

In 14 days we will likely have new players. I reserve judgment until the final product is assembled.

When I first read this, I thought that you wrote he had a bruised scrotum. I’m sure he’s thankful it’s only his sacrum.

Close enough Slim Tubby. I'm hurting just thinking about it.:)

Is it just me...or am i seeing a possibility of Ant being an all-star THIS year?

I'm assuming these are locks for reserves; CP3, Book, KAT, Mitchell, Gobert, Luka..

That leaves 1 more spot..usually it goes to Westbrook(Down year), Paul George(hurt),Kawhi(hurt),Dame(hurt)...I don't see anyone else more deserving than Ant

Any process that considers Klay Thompson (he played 7 games this season,) is not one I consider credible. Rudy Gobert literally turns Utah from worst defense to 5th, but he is lower than Jokic, utter madness.

I could see KAT missing the all-star this year, he shouldn't but I could see it. Would be pretty epic if all three of Flips pups make it though. Wiggins, Lavine, Towns.

Charles has watched a few halfs of our games! Definitely an educated and comprehensive take on our team. They also know Edwards as the cat from Georgia. LOL

HAH! TNT just called the new All Star … “Anthony” Wiggins!

If you’re a legitimate All Star, people should know your name.

He said tonight he is actually going to watch this whole game because he is intrigued by us and doesn't understand why we aren't better. But yea he will be watching golf too.

Seems like Ant is going to want to take it to Wiggins tonight. He would love to destroy a newly announced all-star.

Did you notice they never talked about our players age or health issues last season. KAT missing 22, Dlo missing 30 something and Beasley missing more than half of a 72 game season. It is a total joke that they did no prep for that segment.

Nobody cares about the details. The narrative of the Timberwolves went back to being an absolute joke after the Butler fiasco. It really destroyed our reputation and KAT's. Since then, we have been known as the bum franchise with the soft stat padder.

We have to earn relevancy back shred by sherd because we lost it all when Butler went off then was held, hostage. Butlers huge NBA success, Thibs New York resurgence, and Wiggins all-star ascension has just cemented our bad rep. Playing will fixes that though.
