In the fourth quarter of Timberwolves game tonight, I was looking at Instant Pot recipes on Facebook (I don’t know why, I just stumbled into it and now I’m in like 3 groups?). That’s where I’m at with this season. – 11:50 PM

When it comes to Timberwolves losses, you can usually pick any or a combo of the following issues as the main causes:
– defensive rebounding
– on-ball defense
– lack of energy/urgency
– turnovers
– No ball movement.
Congrats to those who had 2 and 3 tonight. – 10:41 PM

This Wolves 2-game road trip took them to Houston and Detroit — the two worst records in the league — and they fell down by 20+ points in both games.
Yes, they came back and beat Houston. But this is why this team is hard to believe in.

They shouldn’t have trouble scoring when he’s out. – 8:27 PM

Bojan Bogdanovic (left calf soreness) and Isaiah Livers (right shoulder sprain) have both been upgraded to probable. Livers hasn’t played since Dec. 1, and Bogey only missed one game.
Jalen Duren (right ankle soreness) and Isaiah Stewart (left shoulder soreness) are still out. – 3:29 PM

Our SSQ model says these were 4 of yesterday’s most unlikely buckets.
🪣 LJ Thorpe’s long game winner for Pyrintö in Finland
🪣 Westchester Knick Obadiah Noel from midcourt
🪣 Ethan Okwuosa’s 60′ heave for the SNHU Penmen
🪣 and Felician’s Niaimani Marshall beating the shot clock pic.twitter.com/ynjXWQkiVN – 2:40 PM
