    All Things 2024-25 Minnesota Timberwolves In-Season Thread

    Nobody was hitting anything down the stretch. Houston was trapping Ant in the 4th and he wasn't moving the ball. It didn't help that they were missing three of their top eight players and Conley gave them nothing. Dillingham played eight minutes and he rightfully earned the other 40 on the...

    Fire Ben Johnson

    True. However, Johnson (or whoever is coaching the team) ought to be able to improve the supporting cast.

    Fire Ben Johnson

    Johnson is a good coach--by the old rules. Unfortunately, those days are gone. I still think he was a worthwhile risk--by the old rules. He has never been properly financially supported. As I've said many times before, Coyle needs to pursue other interests when Johnson pursues other...

    Dawson Garcia - Has he become one of the best in the Country?

    I never thought Coffey would make it in the NBA. Too mechanical. I think Garcia might have played his way into the second round.

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT UCLA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    It was 29-12 and I turned the game off, took the dog for a walk, did some other stuff, checked the score on my phone as an afterthought as I headed off to bed. It was 35-31, early in the second. So much for sleep. Great game! I really wish they had played even remotely like this earlier in...

    Arbitration ruling to determine who owns the Timberwolves and Lynx coming Friday or Monday

    I guess Finch doesn't watch the games either. In the last 10 games, when Finch has been forced to play 6'10" 270lbs Dillingham, he's averaged 7.6 points/game. He's shot slightly under 40% from the floor and 20% from 3. In spite of being the biggest player on the floor, he doesn't pass the eye...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT MUSSELMAN (USC) IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    This team is fully capable of losing to anybody. Having written that, eight wins is now very doable, even predictable. If Ben gets to eight and wins one in the tournament he probably gets another year, especially with the reasonably strong HS class coming in.

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT MUSSELMAN (USC) IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Nope. He has a strong track record. (Even though I saw him completely blow up a pick up game at whatever Lifetime was called back then underneath Target Center when his dad was the wolves coach. He went crazy out of control over a stupid phantom foul. If you'd seen it, you wouldn't forget it...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT MUSSELMAN (USC) IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Fun win against a better team. Not sure why anybody would take the USC job. It's always been a depressing atmosphere.

    Arbitration ruling to determine who owns the Timberwolves and Lynx coming Friday or Monday

    You posted a video from the corner somewhere around row 25 of Rob standing next to Ant claiming a height that he really isn't. Rudy was there too. From that distance and angle they all looked pretty close. You must think Rudy's 6'6". Keep trying.

    Arbitration ruling to determine who owns the Timberwolves and Lynx coming Friday or Monday

    Sorry. I've been talking about Dillingham's defense since November while you've been claiming he's as big as Ant. (You can do the work of finding the posts.) Move on, Paul Douglas.

    Google beats Chat GPT and DeepSeek! :) 54-96 is slightly worse than 49-85, but both are better than CBJ.

    Arbitration ruling to determine who owns the Timberwolves and Lynx coming Friday or Monday

    If Finch thought Dillingham was big enough to play in the NBA he would have played him before he had to. It’s not like Conley was playing well. Now that Dillingham is getting a chance to play, he’s not establishing himself. He makes the occasional flashy play on offense but mostly he’s barely...

    Arbitration ruling to determine who owns the Timberwolves and Lynx coming Friday or Monday

    He's worth billions of dollars. Not sure that's really true. He bought the team for about $90M and the amount of his own money in the deal was minuscule. He did fine. I hate to say it but I think this one might have been age related.

    Arbitration ruling to determine who owns the Timberwolves and Lynx coming Friday or Monday

    ARod barely escaped on this one. He was trying to mark the deal up on his potential investors and they weren't having it. He was saved by the language in the contract because it appears that they didn't actually have the funds to close by the strike date in the contract. Bloomberg is the...

    Fire Ben Johnson

    He's not a great coach and it doesn't matter about his next job. He's not playing against B1G competition. In this job he has more money to spend than his competitors. In the next job if he has a financial advantage, he'll look good. When he was here running the weave....those were the old rules.
