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!

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.

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

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.

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.

So I guess the Timberwolves have to beat these guys. F it. Let’s go do it. Us against the world. Wolves in six.

This Timberwolves victory feels amazing. Julius Randle with his best game of the season.

Hot take: I want Minnesota and Tim Connelly to trade Detroit first for future picks and draft someone with Utah’s pick (likely 31). That would save $ for Reid/NAW deals and I like the players in 31 range like Broome or Toppin. Thank you Jazz for that pick in Conley/NAW/DLo trade.

Ding Dong! The Witch is dead. I'm sorry happy Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez are finally taking over as full-time owners of my favorite team. Since they arrived, Minnesota has a .588 winning percentage, 3 playoff runs, hired the best play-by-play guy in the NBA and an elite POBO. Let's go Timberwolves

Malik Beasley’s mouth got everyone pissed. It led to a fight that caused the Pistons 3 players and their head coach. Detroit was already down two key guys. Soon they were out of gas and run out of the building. But hey maybe Malik thinks it was worth it to talk smack.

The Timberwolves need to quit losing great Rudy Gobert games. Come on guys.

Every dollar of the new Jaylen Clark contract is subject massive luxury tax penalties. The Timberwolves could have just waited and saved millions. Props to Timberwolves ownership for signing this guy now and locking him to a minimum 25-26 deal. Keep it up Clark.
