Great win, it just feels like we can't inch any closer with Dallas or Denver, but we are getting separation from the 8th seed. 5 wins and 5 losses from the 8th seed..I think 7th is the lowest we will be with about 12 games left.

Just hope Denver or Dallas can start slumping but it doesn't look likely.

There is no such thing as empty stats.

I'm with you.

You get a rebound or steal that's a possession.
You get a basket or assist that's 2 or 3 points on the scoreboard.

I guess if you lose the game to some people all the stats were meaningless so empty, but that thinking is straight up goofy.

41-30, 10 of 12 since the ASB, 23-12 at home, Finch 2 games over .500 in his HC career. KAT follows 60 with 30 in 26 minutes. Oh and Layman hit 100% of his shots and 3s. GO WOLVES!!!!

I hope Finch can pull the starters out early when the lead is close to 20 pts with <3 mins remaining..today they were in when the lead was 19 points and <2 mins remaining.

Forgot to mention. We had 23 games remaining after the ASB. The first four were against top 8 teams and we won 3 of 4. From that point 10 of our 19 are against sub .500 teams and the other 9 are above .500. In that time we are 6-1 against the sub .500 and 1-0 against the over .500. We have been taking care of business. Now we need to rest well these next two days, because the playoffs start early. 7 straight against playoff teams and only 3 of them are at home. Despite the differences each game has playoff implications and each game will demand our best. Faith in Finch, Faith in KAT, faith in Bev, let’s go get it.

You do realize that we’re a far superior team with Russell on the court than without him, right? Your game assessment is as terrible as your trade proposals.

Also worth noting that Ant had 7 points outside the 2nd quarter and Dlo had 6 for the game and we still won by 20. We don’t live and die as much by our big 3. With Nowell, Beasley, Prince, Naz and Beverly all pulling weight on offense, the utility of a player like Dlo (great passer especially in PNR, and defensive floor general,) really is enough on some nights.

Right? The last few game threads have been like, "This sucks. That sucks. We're terrible, D'Lo is terrible, KAT's playing dumb, everything is lost.....AROOO!!!! WE WIN AGAIN!"

Y'know, for a group of people who've been waiting years for a competitive team, we sure are getting inured to success at a hyperlight speed. Can we focus on the good stuff while we've got it?

No.

I didn't become a Timberwolves fan to support a winning team.

I don't mind Pat Bev trolling Westbrook as those two seem to have some history and Westbrook did trashtalk Bev previously but I wish KAT didn't troll Westbrook..just unnecessary stuff and unwanted attention

I am sorry, but if you read the recap on Canis it’s all about Bev and Towns being very tight. KAT almost looks at Bev like an older brother. If true, I can see KAT standing up for Bev and trolling Westbrook. Also in the comments section they point out that Westbrook did the same thing to Ricky, another guy KAT happens to be quite fond of.

It's crazy to me that we are 11 games over .500 that is probably the first time since KG. That's mind-blowing. Is something good actually happening

Actually we got 13 over with the General. 29-16. But, if we beat the Bucks and Mavs we can tie it.

Westbrook has trolled KAT and the Wolves many times over the years, now he is the one struggling to make the playoffs and can’t take it. Don’t feel sad for him at all.
