Why can’t we even enjoy this perfection? Because we’re still subjected to hypotheticals. When will this translate to competitive, meaningfu...26320Fri, 30 Apr 2021 10:00:20 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-news/juancho-hernang%C3%B3mez-has-his-mojo-back-r26319/Wonky is the word that best describes the Minnesota Timberwolves 2020-21 season. The Wolves had mild expectations heading into the year, which were immediately dashed by injuries, COVID, poor play in general, and the weirdest midseason coaching change in recent memory. And now they’re suddenly ri...26319Thu, 29 Apr 2021 10:30:22 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-news/what-sort-of-sorcery-is-going-on-with-the-minnesota-timberwolves-r26318/What the Minnesota Timberwolves have strung together in the last week has been as impressive as it has been surprising. It’s a small sample size, sure, but with this franchise, one thing that has been engrained in the fans’ minds over the years is you take the small victories when you can. And th...26318Wed, 28 Apr 2021 12:30:12 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-news/what-can-we-take-away-from-these-late-season-wins-r26316/Buckle up, Minnesota Timberwolves fans! The Wolves have won three of their last four games, including back-to-back wins over the Western Conference first-place Utah Jazz. Sure, the Jazz didn’t have Donovan Mitchell for either game, and Minnesota only has 18 wins on the season, but don’t ruin this...26316Tue, 27 Apr 2021 12:30:10 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-news/how-does-kat-measure-up-to-embiid-jokic-and-the-best-bigs-in-the-nba-r26313/The 17-44 Minnesota Timberwolves have 11 games left to play this season. It’s been frustrating, and at times miserable, but we are close to the finish line. The hopes for this team making the play-in game were lost with Karl-Anthony Towns’ dislocated wrist months ago. As much as I like watching e...26313Mon, 26 Apr 2021 10:30:53 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-news/how-minnesota-could-become-a-good-3-point-shooting-team-r26312/They say the NBA is a make-or-miss league and that you live by the three and die by the three. Well, the Minnesota Timberwolves are missing more than they’re making and definitely dying by the long ball this season. Like I wrote last week about the defense, Minnesota has rarely fielded a competent...26312Fri, 23 Apr 2021 10:30:50 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-news/how-chris-finch-transformed-the-minnesota-timberwolves-r26311/Please join me for a Chris Finch statistical deep dive. Earlier this year, I wrote about how Gersson Rosas built the Minnesota Timberwolves roster for Finch to coach it, and now we’ve had a legitimate sample size to see how this team has transformed. By Monday, Finch will have coached as many gam...26311Thu, 22 Apr 2021 10:30:31 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-news/this-is-why-you-keep-dangelo-russell-around-r26310/Is anyone suggesting the Minnesota Timberwolves should move D’Angelo Russell now? Where are the hot takes on why it won’t work out for DLo here? Am I overreacting to a limited sample size? Perhaps, but who really cares? Russell has returned from knee surgery, and he has been a problem for opposing...26310Wed, 21 Apr 2021 14:30:42 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-news/what-if-the-wolves-win-too-many-games-r26309/We’re at the point in the season for Minnesota Timberwolves fans where we are watching the standings for all the wrong reasons. Certainly, though, reasons we are used to. The Wolves currently sit at 15-43, still good for the worst record in the NBA. However, things are getting tight! The Housto...26309Tue, 20 Apr 2021 10:30:51 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-news/an-early-look-at-the-kat-dlo-returns-r26308/Oh, to be a Minnesota Timberwolves fan. Just as I set down my celebratory glass of champagne following the Wolves’ win against the Miami Heat, I found myself watching the Los Angeles Clippers absolutely eviscerate Minnesota this weekend. The final score of 124-105 doesn’t do justice to how much of...26308Mon, 19 Apr 2021 10:30:03 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-news/under-pressure-r26307/The Timberwolves are under pressure. Not the kind that comes with winning playoff games. Or even the kind they may feel to hang on to this year’s draft pick. But imagine being a young African-American male playing professional basketball for a team in the city that is the epicenter of two high-pro...26307Sun, 18 Apr 2021 07:00:28 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-news/the-wolves-found-a-winning-formula-in-their-victory-over-miami-r26306/The Minnesota Timberwolves beat the Miami Heat on Friday night in a game where the Wolves’ role players showed what this team is capable of. Although Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards both had great nights on the floor, they weren’t the headlining act against the Jimmy Butler-led Heat. The Mi...26306Sat, 17 Apr 2021 11:00:56 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-news/why-hasnt-the-defense-improved-under-finch-r26305/They say defense wins championships. Nowhere does that sports axiom ring more true than the NBA. Since the Minnesota Timberwolves entered the NBA in the 1989-90 season, 21 of the 31 NBA Champions have had a top-5 defense. Eight more were top-10 defenses, and the worst was the 2000-01 Lakers at 21s...26305Fri, 16 Apr 2021 10:30:24 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-news/anthony-edwards-is-a-rare-personality-who-needs-to-be-treasured-r26303/Rare is it to witness a rookie in the NBA who is immediately comfortable enough to share his genuine thoughts without hesitation. That has been exactly the case with Anthony Edwards from the day the Minnesota Timberwolves drafted him No. 1 overall in 2020. Heck, it even started before that. What’s...26303Wed, 14 Apr 2021 10:30:10 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-news/will-the-nba-take-a-stand-against-police-brutality-r26302/This past weekend my friend and I drove back home from Missouri when we passed a cop on the freeway. As we drove past his car, he pulled out of the turnaround and began to follow us. Without turning his lights on, he sped up to catch up to my car. He peered into the window, then slowed down and co...26302Tue, 13 Apr 2021 12:00:53 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-news/what-could-new-ownership-mean-for-the-timberwolves-r26301/After years of looking for the right buyer, reports surfaced over the weekend that Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor is close to selling the team to Alex Rodriguez and billionaire Marc Lore. What do we know about this deal so far, and what does it mean for the Timberwolves’ future in Minnesota? Let...26301Mon, 12 Apr 2021 15:30:32 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-news/the-wolves-have-to-become-winners-before-the-sale-is-complete-r26300/Well, that happened fast. One day we’re all complaining about the effect Glen Taylor’s country club mentality has had on the Minnesota Timberwolves since he purchased the team in 1994. The next, it feels as though they’re as good as gone. Alex Rodriguez and billionaire Marc Lore’s $1.5 billion bid...26300Mon, 12 Apr 2021 10:00:34 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-news/how-the-timberwolves-are-keeping-fans-safe-at-target-center-r26297/We’re getting back to some semblance of normal. For sports fans, that means being able to go back to games – in a limited capacity, being socially distanced, and wearing a mask. This is a huge step for teams that have lost loads of money over the last year without fans in the stadium. Of course,...26297Fri, 09 Apr 2021 15:00:15 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-news/does-it-matter-if-anthony-edwards-is-named-rookie-of-the-year-r26296/Throughout the year, talking heads across the league insist on denigrating Anthony Edwards’ case for Rookie of the Year. Nate Duncan insisted that LaMelo Ball is still his pick immediately after he broke his hand. Bill Simmons declared Tyrese Haliburton Rookie of the Year because he plays winning...26296Thu, 08 Apr 2021 11:00:56 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-news/the-wolves-have-some-decisions-to-make-on-their-pending-free-agents-r26288/As I’m writing this, the Minnesota Timberwolves just lost a five-point game to the Brooklyn Nets. A solid effort, certainly, but the loss drops Minnesota to 11-36 on the season, digging their hole a little deeper at the bottom of the league standings. The Wolves stayed put at the trade deadline....26288Tue, 30 Mar 2021 10:30:54 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-news/there-should-be-no-trade-deadline-fomo-for-the-wolves-r26285/The Minnesota Timberwolves have grown accustomed to splashy roster events during the pRosas. From the jump, Gersson Rosas traded up five spots in his first draft to pick Jarrett Culver in 2019. It didn’t work out (yet), but it was exhilarating to see some assertiveness. The Wolves didn’t make thei...26285Fri, 26 Mar 2021 12:00:00 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-news/could-the-wolves-shut-kat-down-r26283/Karl-Anthony Towns notched another dominant performance against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday (33 points, 10 rebounds), but he mentioned his nagging wrist injury in the postgame press conference. He took a shot to his sore wrist in the first half but shook it off to finish the game. If the i...26283Wed, 24 Mar 2021 16:00:07 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-news/elgin-baylor-raised-by-wolves-r26281/Minnesota Timberwolves fans often erase Minnesota professional basketball history before 1989. It’s easy because the Los Angeles Lakers currently have our five Minneapolis Lakers championships hanging from a banner in Staples Center. I have gone so far as to postulate that the Timberwolves franchi...26281Tue, 23 Mar 2021 17:30:15 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-news/chris-finch-is-giving-us-something-to-believe-in-r26277/The Minnesota Timberwolves have emerged from the All-Star break a far different team than they were going in, and Chris Finch deserves credit for this discernable turnaround. Finch has patiently waited for his dream of becoming an NBA head coach, spending 12 years as a head coach overseas before l...26277Fri, 19 Mar 2021 15:00:38 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/timberwolves-news/john-collins-is-a-rosas-player-r26275/In the past week, reports have surfaced that Gersson Rosas and the Minnesota Timberwolves are “dying” to trade for Atlanta Hawks power forward John Collins. That makes sense. Collins is considered one of the best young offensive power forwards in the league. He consistently plays above the rim o...26275Thu, 18 Mar 2021 16:00:23 +0000
