All Things 2024-25 Minnesota Timberwolves In-Season Thread

Donate To GopherHole

Big time win. Sweep the season series with the nuggets and now tied with a floundering Memphis for 6th. 4 games left vs teams who are tanking. 1 with Memphis and Milwaukee.
 

One thing I liked about this win is Minnot and Dilly looked good this game.

I don't know if that means anything for the future, but it gives hope.
 

As much as it pains me to say it.........Jokic is just unreal. Can't jump, is slow........I will never get it.

The 41 pick in the draft.
 

One of the best games I've ever seen. Glad Ant woke up with about four minutes left in regulation.

I know SGA has had a tremendous year and OKC has the best record in the league but Jokic has to be the MVP. Denver's roster is two levels below OKC. OKC would win 45-50 games without SGA. Denver would win 20 games without Jokic.

He’s almost 7 feet and 285. He’s not slow when you think about how he’s moving at that size and the body control is insane. He can’t jump though that’s absolutely for certain

Their net rating is second worst in the league without Jokic. You’re 100% right
 

If the Wolves wouldn't have dropped those 2 games to the shorthanded Pacers and the terrible Pelicans, they would be 1 game behind Denver for the 3 seed.

This will sound like all the announcers, but man, the guy really does seem to see the game so well. A step or two ahead always or maybe the game is slower for him than all the other players. Hard to rag on Rudy guarding him, the guy is obviously at another level.
Big win.
 



Wolves have frustrated me so much this season. Every time I get excited about them they have losses against sisters of the poor teams. So a few wks ago I decided to dump them until playoffs start. Guess missed a good one last night

We won, but it took a missed layup and miracle foul.

It was kind of a miracle.

I thought we had the game won 3 different times. You'd have still been frustrated.

I was frustrated at how we guarded Jokic many times. Again, shots were taken that would blow your minds.

We won, but it was somewhat of a gift.
 

Thanks. Just looking at the standings, if we can get the 6 seed looks like our playoff matchup might be Denver. Then Houston.
Not hating it.

Denver didn't care tonight and didn't play their starters.

We are now 2 games back of them and their schedule is a bear.

There is no reason we don't pass Denver if we play ball.

Yeah, what was Denver thinking. San Antonio doesn't even want to win.
Denver could've played its starters minimal minutes and won easily.
Makes no sense

It's just weird.

It's like we beat them twice.

The MEM game might decide our fate when it comes to avoiding the Play In games.

speaking of which, as of today, Memphis is the 8 seed.

Good thing they fired their coach. They are in free fall.

Wow. They were 6th yesterday ahead of the Wolves but somehow with the LAC win, the tiebreaker rules moved them below both of us.

I wonder if the real story about the coach firing and timing will ever come out. Morant has all the makings of a career coach killer.
 


its first quarters like this that will get you run out of the gym in the playoffs. this team just cannot take teams it thinks its better than seriously

We can't score because only one player on this team can break you down.

It's just horrific offense, and yes, they are screwed in the playoffs. I don't know how they score.

Thank you Rudy for showing up.

their problem is they choose to play with 0 pace so often and play iso ball. it never works because of what you say. this team playing with tempo/pushing the ball and running a team like this
(who is absolutely fucking awful) out of the gym. That is what OKC would do and instead we're going to have like 45 points at half time and be a hot shooting half away from blowing another chance at avoiding the playin.

would've expected Naz and DD to come back with some fire, instead we've got 0/7 from the floor with 0/5 from 3 and 3 TOs.

In a 3 way tie, conference record is the tiebreaker.

The wolves have a great conference record and would win almost any scenario with conference record should there be a 3 team tie.
