Everyone will talk about Anthony Edwards for good reason but holy hell was TJ Shannon great tonight- 10 points, 5 assists, 5 boards and outstanding defense. Keep it up No. 1. Go Timberwolves!

Perhaps the WNBA equivalent of a Naz Reid Game is a Dijonai Carrington Game?

Anyone who says it’s dumb for the Timberwolves to just run it back, I give you the Minnesota Lynx. Chemistry and culture.

If my math is right, Lore/Arod should get around $25 million as Lynx owners after three new teams pay expansion fee. That payout could almost cover its Timberwolves luxury tax bill for Summer 2026.
🚨HISTORIC MOMENT ALERT🚨
The W is leveling UP — three new teams, three new cities, one unstoppable future. ⭐
Say hello to our newest expansion teams:
🟣 Cleveland- coming 2028
🔵 Detroit - coming 2029
🔴 Philadelphia - coming 2030
New energy. New legacies. New era. #WelcometotheW

I truly believe one of Tim Connelly’s best skills as a POBO is he’s a closer. He knows how to close trades. He knows how to resign players - some below market. I’m excited to see what happens over the next week. Naz Reid is just the start.

Thank you to every god in every religion. Two words. Go Timberwolves
FROM SHAMS:
Just in: Minnesota Timberwolves' Naz Reid intends to sign a new five-year, $125 million contract to stay with the franchise, including a player option, sources tell ESPN. Critical agreement between the Wolves and Reid's agents, Sean Kennedy and Jeff Schwartz of Excel Sports.

Okay I accidentally watched Walter Clayton Jr highlights and now I want him next to Ant for the Timberwolves for the next decade. I'm sorry Rob but I'm into the newest shining thing. I can't wait for the NBA Draft.

As a lifelong Timberwolves fan, I just can't shed a tear on the Taylors leaving, especially how I've seen things run since Arod/Lore got in the door. It's night & day. Yes, Glen hired Cheryl, but the cons outweigh the few pros. Too many bad days for my fav NBA team. Today's a great day in my book

Did the Suns just trade Durant for two shooting guards even though the best position for Booker and Beal is shooting guard?

As a Wolves fan, I read the chatter on trades, some include Jaden/Naz Reid. It's fun but I can't stop thinking about the Lynx. Honestly, I was mad that Cheryl did nothing. Run it back What? Everyone in the WNBA got better. But sometimes when you're close, you run it back. Chemistry is real.

When Glen Taylor was Timberwolves owner: Oh crap, we're going to lose Chris Finch to the Knicks. We can't have nice things.
With Lore/ARod as owners: Whatever. Finch isn't leaving here for your crappy team.

Hate to say it, OKC is just better than the Timberwolves. It's not the end of the world. They are better than 28-29 other teams too. I'm thankful we have TC in the front office to keep building around Ant/Jaden/NAZ. Looks like SGA will win his first title at 26. Hopefully, Ant will get his sooner.

This has just been a rough postseason for Donte. Definitely not the player he was in 2024 postseason.

If Diamond Miller looks like this, the Minnesota Lynx are going to be a problem.

Chris Finch was hired on 2-22-21 by a Timberwolves team that was 7-24 & going nowhere. We are barely 4 years later! He’s won 209 games in 4+ yrs. He’s also 22-18 in postseason with 2 trips to the WC finals. We forget what a dumpster fire it was not that long ago. Finch is the best coach we’ve had.

I’m pumped for Timberwolves vs Warriors. I wish I was there. Wolves fans don’t let me down. Drown out the people in Curry jerseys. Win the first game - the just go 3-3 and take the series.

I’m so glad the Timberwolves won. Also I’m glad Minnesota had a challenge so the refs can see video proof that yes LeBron James does foul people. He’s not perfect. He’s not God. One more win.

I just hope the Lakers gave it everything they had and still trail by three. I feel like this game will be similar to Game 3. The deeper we get into the game the more juice the Timberwolves will have.

The Timberwolves can win this series at home against the Lakers who were 19-22 in road games. Let’s get loud Target Center.

Wolves built a double-digit lead while Edwards was off his game. LeBron was quiet but will be heard from. The lead will have to be 30 in the fourth before feeling good about it lol
