It comes after a long, dull hiatus from NBA basketball, through the doldrums of late-season baseball and the start of the NFL season. These scrimmages are the breath of life I need as we enter fall and we watch the natural world around us beg...26469Tue, 12 Oct 2021 10:30:40 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/can-jaylen-nowell-crack-the-rotation-r26468/One week into the preseason, the unbridled optimism surrounding the Minnesota Timberwolves has yet to be quenched. The team stands at 2-0 as they wait to take on the Los Angeles Clippers Monday evening. Strong performances from both the starters and the bench units and solid defense across the boa...26468Mon, 11 Oct 2021 10:30:11 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/lets-chill-out-a-little-bit-on-anthony-edwards-r26466/I am a big Anthony Edwards fan. I think he is an electric talent on the court and somehow manages to be even more super-charged off the court. From his presence behind a mic to his unhinged Instagram live streams, he is an endless fountain of good vibes only content for fans to enjoy. Anthony Edw...26466Sat, 09 Oct 2021 07:30:11 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/what-fixes-do-the-wolves-need-to-prioritize-to-become-a-playoff-team-r26465/We have been waiting for a couple of seasons to see the Minnesota Timberwolves put things together and make a push for playoff contention. However, injuries, a shortened season, young players, and front office turnover haven’t made things easy. Safe to say, things have not gone as expected. But t...26465Fri, 08 Oct 2021 10:30:27 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/how-can-chris-finch-get-the-most-from-the-bench-r26464/We’re ten days into training camp and no team is feeling itself more than the Minnesota Timberwolves. A statement victory over the Zion-less New Orleans Pelicans perked up the ears of the NBA. The Wolves might be a team to be reckoned with. Anthony Edwards is three months away from becoming the NB...26464Thu, 07 Oct 2021 10:30:31 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/we-have-a-value-brand-ben-simmons-at-home-r26463/We all know that Ben Simmons no longer wants to play for the Philadelphia 76ers by now, and fans of various bottom-dwelling teams continue to salivate over the idea of the 6-foot-11 point guard joining their squad. For Minnesota Timberwolves fans, Simmons would immediately bring to the team what...26463Wed, 06 Oct 2021 10:30:09 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/watch-for-patrick-beverleys-impact-in-the-preseason-r26459/Minnesota Timberwolves basketball is back, baby. The Wolves take the floor tonight against Zion Williamson and the New Orleans Pelicans for their first preseason game.

(The most annoying being the constant Michael Jordan vs. LeBron James GOAT babble.) The 2021-22 preseason MVP odds are out, and the usual s...26458Fri, 01 Oct 2021 10:30:41 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/minnesotas-roster-has-been-through-the-wringer-r26457/There have been many qualms about how the Minnesota Timberwolves have built the roster. But they are heading in the right direction in one respect; they are building a group with as many backgrounds as possible. This will ensure they have people with different perspectives because of their diversi...26457Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:30:24 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/reexamining-rosass-moves-after-his-firing-r26455/With the school year back in full swing, the first unit my middle schoolers are focusing on is character development and alternating perspectives.

Everyone has a role and the job gets done successfully. But with NBA lineup combinations, this is easier said than done. Matchups, injuries, and internal mismatches make constant change a necessity. The Minnesota Tim...26453Sat, 25 Sep 2021 07:30:03 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/ben-simmons-from-an-australian-perspective-r26448/“You cannot unnerve him; only he can do that to himself.” That’s from a Jackie MacMullan feature about Ben Simmons published after the Philadelphia 76ers bumbled out of The Bubble as Mr. Simmons watched helplessly injured from the sidelines. The line refers to the commentary around his unwillingn...26448Tue, 21 Sep 2021 10:30:06 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/the-wolves-need-to-take-advantage-of-their-early-home-slate-r26447/If the Minnesota Timberwolves want to have a successful season, it will have to start at home. The team’s first three games are in Minneapolis, which includes seven out of the first eight. The notoriously ravenous Target Center home crowds will have the first say in dictating the course of the sea...26447Mon, 20 Sep 2021 10:30:43 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/labels-minnesotas-star-players-need-to-shed-next-season-r26446/As human beings, we love to find ways to organize things in our brains. We look for patterns wherever we can. It’s a part of our nature,  separating things into categories so we can understand them. We put things into a box, label it “X-mas stuff,” and put it into the garage for storage. Sometimes...26446Sat, 18 Sep 2021 07:30:16 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/malik-beasley-must-make-his-second-chance-count-r26445/There are two weeks before training camp begins, and the Minnesota Timberwolves still have plenty of questions to answer before the season kicks off. Will they trade for Ben Simmons? How will Anthony Edwards look in Year 2? Can this team make the playoffs? But one of the most important questions f...26445Fri, 17 Sep 2021 10:30:05 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/is-ben-simmons-jimmy-butler-20-r26440/The Minnesota Timberwolves are living on the margins this offseason. Trading away Ricky Rubio and adding Patrick Beverley are the biggest moves the team has pulled off after missing the playoffs for the 16th time in 17 seasons last year. But Gersson Rosas is always lurking, like a submarine just b...26440Fri, 10 Sep 2021 10:30:23 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/the-wolves-should-use-more-naz-kat-lineups-next-year-r26439/The Minnesota Timberwolves have been quiet this offseason, but the speculation about how they’ll be next year has been deafening. It has been centered around the synergy and continuity concept pushed by the front office, specifically GM Gersson Rosas. However, they have addressed a glaring hole at...26439Thu, 09 Sep 2021 10:30:24 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/taurean-prince-is-exactly-what-the-wolves-need-r26438/The Minnesota Timberwolves’ offseason was certainly quieter than anticipated. At least, it was quiet by the set of standards that have accompanied Gersson Rosas throughout his tenure in Minnesota. Anything short of a blockbuster deal gets overlooked, as the fans grow impatient with the team’s well...26438Tue, 07 Sep 2021 10:30:49 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/can-ant-make-the-leap-from-great-rookie-to-great-nba-player-r26436/Since the moment Anthony Edwards stepped on camera pre-draft, he’s been poised to be a star. For non-college basketball heads, our introduction to Ant was this video: https://twitter.com/espn/status/1329476041094688773?s=20 Ant has a lot of quotable media moments, but for me, calling Jim Carey’s...26436Fri, 03 Sep 2021 10:30:19 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/rosas-knows-he-can-always-flip-a-player-on-a-mid-sized-deal-r26435/Every Minnesota Timberwolves fan has had to endure poor management. Under Tom Thibodeau’s watch, Gorgui Dieng got a raise and went from a starter to a hefty cap hit on the bench overnight because he landed a large deal during the cap influx of 2016. It wasn’t as bad as, say, the Timofey Mozgov con...26435Thu, 02 Sep 2021 10:30:22 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/how-good-do-the-wolves-have-to-be-defensively-next-year-r26432/Much like Americans have the gridiron, Australia has the Australian Football League, or AFL for short. You may remember it from the brief love affair American sports addicts had with the game when it was one of the only professional sports being played in the early days of the pandemic. It has 18...26432Tue, 31 Aug 2021 10:30:32 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/dont-forget-about-josh-okogie-r26431/A couple of weeks ago, I moonlighted as a guest on the esteemed CnD NBA Show Podcast. In the wake of the trade for Patrick Beverley, we all tried to predict a starting lineup for the Minnesota Timberwolves next season. Off the cuff, I said that the starting lineup would look like this: PG: D’Ange...26431Mon, 30 Aug 2021 10:30:54 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/setting-realistic-expectations-for-the-upcoming-wolves-season-r26425/After a tumultuous 2020-21 season, the Minnesota Timberwolves are taking a “good vibes only” approach to this summer. Anthony Edwards purified himself in the waters of Lake Minnetonka and may or may not have become Steph Curry in the process. Jaden McDaniels and Jaylen Nowell just dominated Summer...26425Fri, 20 Aug 2021 10:30:10 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-features/is-jaylen-nowell-backup-point-guard-material-r26417/For years there has been one obvious position that the Minnesota Timberwolves have been looking to upgrade: power forward. The best power forward that Karl-Anthony Towns has played alongside during his six seasons in the NBA is a 32-year-old Taj Gibson. But with one trade this offseason, the focus...26417Fri, 13 Aug 2021 10:30:05 +0000
