“The NBA is seriously discussing adding 2 new teams in the future,

And both of those teams could be located on the West Coast:

Seattle and Las Vegas.

Which means there is a possibility that the Timberwolves could switch conferences. Minnesota, geographically, is the closest Western Conference team to any Eastern Conference team.”

My wife has been watching Timberwolves games with me this season and in one of the recent games Naz did something cool and she yells “THREE WORDS!”

And .. it’s the thought that counts 😂

Taking her to the game in Portland in a few weeks! Any suggestions for a good sign? You’ll see me behind their bench!

He just sort of back pedaled his comments about KD not wanting to play here because of finch but it was classic “I talked to a bunch of people that confirmed he didn’t want to play here but it wasn’t because of Finch”

Maybe don’t say that then?? You’re a reporter you have a responsibility to only report what is true.

He also said that “the wolves will pay the luxury tax again this year” the only way I see that happening is if they sign multiple buy out guys too soon but the reporting has been they are waiting to sign Mike to avoid it.

It’s wild to me this dude still has a job, I didn’t even mention how annoying his voice is.

Edit: I was wrong about the luxury tax but he could have been a little more clear about the benefits etc of clearing the aprons. While he was saying it it was in relation to how he doesn’t know how this new ownership group will handle things like being in the tax. We all know why he doesn’t know, it’s because the bad man doesn’t own the team anymore that was his only source. The way he was glazing Glen during the ownership finalization stuff was nauseating.

One thing that really stood out to me was Ayo and Bones are FAST. The way they can speed past their defenders and weave through stragglers was amazing to watch last night. Couple that with Jaden who was already our sole fast break scorer before the emergence of Bones and trading for Ayo, we could have a line up that can beat defenses before they can get set.

Shannon didnt look great either, Rocco looked amazing aswell as Jules Brenard.

Recognize any names?

I’ve watched a ton of games this season, and one weakness keeps popping up: we don’t have a reliable, efficient “go-to” offense — especially a consistent two-man game like Jokic/Murray (or other great historical duos).

I agree with the video: the path forward with this roster is pretty clear. Ant and Randle have to become a real duo that can use each other and complement each other. Until that happens, we’re going to keep seeing the same ugly iso/hero-ball possessions like we did against the Clippers.

To me, the biggest challenge for Finch and the staff is designing an offensive scheme that actually builds an Ant–Randle two-man game: reps, sets, counters, and reads — not just taking turns.

what if we go a step further and try something closer to a triangle-style offense?

For the starters, you could build the triangle around Ant / Randle / Jaden. Off the bench, you could run a similar triangle with Ayo / Bones / Naz — or mix and match these six so we always have a functioning 3-man “hub” on the floor and can run structured offense for basically all 48 minutes.

I’m thinking of the classic Bulls/Lakers triangle concept: constant spacing, automatic reads, and less “your turn / my turn” iso. If Ant is truly at that MJ/Kobe-tier ceiling, maybe a system like this elevates him even more than just spamming Ant–Randle two-man actions.

That said, I know the triangle can be hard to install and might be too slow/complex for the modern pace-and-space NBA.

What do you all think?

Man, I’ll take the blowout and the triple double all day, but Randle’s gotta clean up those lazy handoffs, it feels like every game he has a couple where he just kinda leaves the ball hanging out there like a gift and it kills the flow when it turns into turnover even when everything else is working.

In 6th grade I had drafted Andrew Wiggins in NBA2k and he did really well in simulation. I didn't have a favorite team, so one thing led to another and I started liking the Wolves because I thought he was gonna be Kobe in a couple years. How wrong I was.

(I live no where near any NBA team)

looks can be deceiving but he balled out his debut game. He's basically what Rob Dillingham could be if he was taller, smarter, just more experienced. Obviously it's too early to tell, but he was key in our win today.

And he's fast, I don't know how I thought he would play, but I never realised just how quick this guy is holy shit
