All Things 2024-25 Minnesota Timberwolves In-Season Thread

[fan of Ray Williams]

Edwards passed Luka Doncic for most points before turning 24 in NBA history.
Quite the feat.

 

[upnorthkid]

Basically everyone for the pacers is out tonight. Start fast and obliterate them

Lakers lost. I think they are our best shot. I don't see the Warriors playing any worse than the wolves down the stretch.

Memphis has 14 games left. Including these:

Away
LAC
OKC
Denver
Detroit
Miami
Sacramento

Home
LAL
Boston
Minnesota

Unfortunately they own the tiebreak over us, so we need to pick up 5 games on them. Even with our much easier schedule it will be difficult to make up 5 games.
We almost have to go undefeated rest of the way to pass any team, except maybe the Warriors.

I agree with jamiche I like us to catch the lakers with their health issues.

16 games left gives a little more wiggle and the season series is 2-2

Lakers have home games this week against Denver and Milwaukee. Hopefully lose those.
Then next week have a tough 4 game roadie. If LeBron is unable to play next week Lakers could lose 3 of those 4.
Big if we can win tonight as well.

Wow. Pacers missing 4 of 5 starters. Nice!

 

[upnorthkid]

Are these guys actually nba players for Indy? Hell this is awful ball

 

[golf]

Rockets getting destroyed at home

 

[upnorthkid]

this is about as stereotypical playing down to your opponent as you'll ever see by the wolves (added to a ref job that's super hard to figure out what they're calling versus not going both ways)

 

[golf]

Good thing we aren't playing their starters I guess

 

[fan of Ray Williams]

Hope it's not too big of a hole to get out of
24 minutes to get things straightened out

"They're outplaying us on both ends. We have to decide if we want to play basketball tonight or not. Simple as that."

[upnorthkid]

Wolves and rockets apparently had the same halftime talk. We’ll see which of them atone fully for their first halves

 

[Breakin' The Plane]

Mr. Clutch delivered another potential game winning dud, so we're heading to OT.

 

[fan of Ray Williams]

That sucked.

 

[Breakin' The Plane]

And the streak is over.
Took your opponent lightly and the Pacers made them pay.

 

[upnorthkid]

well there’s your choking a game handed to you

 

[Gold Vision]

Pacers hit a bunch of Circus threes. It happens.

Why did Indy get a fresh clock at the end of regulation. Are they saying Donte had possession before he tried to save it from going out of bounds?

 

[From the Parkinglot]

Obi Toppij throwing in game winner while ANY misses them is something. Why no bench from the wolves tonight?

 

[tikited]

Hated seeing Naz and Randle and then Randle out there on defense the last two possessions. Both came after Dead balls that could have been used for substitutions. Naz fell asleep and then Randle got beat. Clark should have been out there. Indy went small, why have our slow bigs out there?
