    All Things 2024-25 Minnesota Timberwolves In-Season Thread

    The wolves are healthy, they have depth, they've figured out rotations and they are actually moving the ball. They are playing at the same level as last year. Unfortunately, they may still end up in the play in. They are too far behind teams 2-5 and the Warriors are also playing great ball...

    New Coach Short List

    Saunders is a nice guy with a nice name and no personality. He could barely complete a sentence. He has no recruiting or transfer connections. He was in way over his head as an NBA HC and would be equally over his head as the gophers HC.

    New Coach Short List

    Generally teams hire the opposite of what they had before. Pitino had personality but wasn't one of us. Ben was one of us but didn't have the personality to sell the program. I think Coyle goes splashy this time, if he has the money.

    Where does Gophers Rodney Williams rank on the Big Ten All-Time best dunkers list?

    Williams certainly had the athletic ability to make it in the NBA. Not sure why it never happened. I remember when he shut down Harrison Barnes in a game against UNC, who was one of the elite players in college hoops and a future first round draft choice. Whatever happened to him?

    Where will Ben land?

    I doubt there is language in his contract that says he can't bring any of his current (former) players to a new program. I think Pitino took Mashburn Jr. with him. Not sure how much of a market there is for Asuma, Mitchell, Grove and the three recruits.

    COYLE FIRES BEN JOHNSON!!!!!!

    Johnson had to go. The situation was untenable. As I've said multiple times before, the new U president, who has the lowest public profile of any major university president I've ever seen, needs to send Coyle packing as well. Major college sports are professional sports with one or two less...

    Last night's game was almost boring. The wolves did what they were supposed to do against a weak opponent at home. The team is peaking at about the right time. The game at Denver will be an interesting test of their resurgence because it will be against a high quality opponent on the road.

    True. However, the Warriors play at home for 11 of their remaining 17 games at home. Most of their tougher opponents are at Chase.

    Very sloppy win. Much better than a well played loss. I've been peeking ahead at the schedule and the warriors' schedule over the next couple of weeks is just about as soft as the wolves' schedule. I'm not assuming the wolves are going to move into the top six. Those four or five...

    Fire Ben Johnson

    The column was a PR plant by Coyle. It’s been his job to get the money all along and he fell way behind. He needs to leave with Johnson.

    Seth Davis: Ben Johnson has done an incredible job with this team. One of the elite coaches in one of the toughest jobs in America.

    People live here and enjoy it for many reasons outside of gopher hoops. Take a look at the records four years ago before you say it was preposterous to put us below NU, Rutgers and PSU. Nobody is cheering Davis' comments. Just acknowledging reality. No self hate involved. The reason Coyle...

    I did watch it. Great series! I don't think it's the Atlanta in him. He is a smart guy who does not speak the language of white America. However, neither does most of the league. On the floor that's how everybody talks. It's about talking shit directly at the refs and showing them up...

    Seth Davis: Ben Johnson has done an incredible job with this team. One of the elite coaches in one of the toughest jobs in America.

    The first part of Davis' comment is not true. Ben has not done a "fantastic job" and hasn't done enough to keep his job. The second part of the statement is true. It's one of the worst P5 jobs and probably the worst job in the B1G. For all the DEI folks, let it go. Nobody you wanted was...

    He probably loses calls too, though I don't follow his game closely enough to know.
