Rudy Gobert was definitely feeling himself during the Minnesota Timberwolves’ Friday night win over the struggling Los Angeles Clippers. Facing a shorthanded Clippers squad without Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, Gobert proved himself as the biggest star of the night. But in so doing, he may have spread his wings far too wide for his […]

For much of the Minnesota Timberwolves’ Friday night contest against the floundering Los Angeles Clippers, Minnesota had a hell of a time. Led by a motivated Rudy Gobert, the Timberwolves went off and ended up with a 14-point halftime lead over the Kawhi Leonard and Paul George-less Clippers. However, Anthony Edwards had to exit the […]

The 2023 NBA trade deadline is fast approaching, and it marks one of the last chances for struggling teams to save their seasons.

Anthony Edwards isn’t quite yet on a superstar level, but he should reach that tier sooner than later.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Taurean Prince has missed approximately the last month and a half with a shoulder injury.

Since Prince’s injury, the Timberwolves have done little but tread water, as the team currently owns a […]

D’Angelo Russell played into trade rumors with a pair of recent social media moves. Russell reportedly unfollowed the Minnesota Timberwolves on Instagram and retweeted a tweet from Toronto Raptors’ guard Fred VanVleet which states, “Bet on yourself,” per Canis Hoopus on Twitter. NBA insider Brian Windhorst previously said that he had not heard anything about […]

The Minnesota Timberwolves endured a pulsating victory in last year’s NBA play-in tournament before succumbing to the Memphis Grizzlies in six games of the first round. Despite the loss, there were pleasing performances that indicated a bright future in Minnesota, such as the emergence of Anthony Edwards as a cornerstone. However, there were glaring weaknesses […]

The Minnesota Timberwolves are looking to snap their 5-game losing streak on Saturday night vs. the Detroit Pistons. Minnesota has endured a mediocre 2022-2023 campaign up to this point. After entering the season with lofty expectations, a mixture of injuries and underperformance have led to inconsistent results. With that being said, is Anthony Edwards playing […]

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards gave fans quite the scare when he fell hard to the floor against the Milwaukee Bucks after attacking the basket.

Rudy Gobert’s debut campaign with the Minnesota Timberwolves hasn’t exactly gone how anyone involved with the franchise envisioned. Even at his new team’s lowest point of 2022-23, though, the three-time Defensive Player of the Year isn’t losing hope in the Wolves’ ability to turn their season around. A Twitter user responded to the Frenchman’s post […]

The Minnesota Timberwolves 2022-23 campaign has gone less than swimmingly to this point. After trading for former Jazz center Rudy Gobert, the team entered the season with legitimate NBA Finals expectations yet currently holds a 16-19 record, just the 11th-best in the Western Conference. It goes without saying that the Gobert trade hasn’t panned out […]

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert has long been divisive. To some, Gobert is a marvelous defensive force, capable of shoring up a team’s defense by himself with his elite defensive instincts and physical tools. However, when some look at the 7’1 Frenchman, all they see is a player who gets played off the court against […]

Zion Williamson put the Minnesota Timberwolves defense to the sword all night long with a career-best 43-point effort that included a nasty poster jam over Rudy Gobert, and D’Angelo Russell was none too pleased about the New Orleans Pelicans forward’s explosion. One sequence in particular drew Russell’s ire. With the Pelicans down by two, 116-114, […]

Zion Williamson is unstoppable. He proved as much as he took over in the New Orleans Pelicans’ thrilling win against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday. Naturally, the whole NBA world is in awe of what Williamson just did. Not only did he score 43 points in the game, but he actually scored the team’s last […]

The Minnesota Timberwolves shipped a boatload of picks and assets to the Utah Jazz in exchange for Rudy Gobert for one reason: rim protection. A three-time Defensive Player of the Year award winner, Gobert is a one-man defensive system onto himself (despite struggling a bit this season). Nevertheless, Gobert didn’t emerge as the defensive force […]

The Minnesota Timberwolves rely so much on Rudy Gobert defensively. After all, defense is his best asset. However, Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch hasn’t been very happy about the performance of the center on that end of the floor lately, prompting him to make a blunt assessment of Gobert’s effort on defense prior to Wednesday […]

The Minnesota Timberwolves are not in a very good spot right now. They are presently ranked 11th in the Western Conference with a 16-18 record. They are currently behind the Golden State Warriors for the last play-in berth. The Timberwolves have also lost their last three games as of this writing. Suffice it to say […]

The Minnesota Timberwolves have not gotten the results they wanted out of Rudy Gobert so far. The most recent example of the big man failing to live up to the expectations came in a loss to the Miami Heat. He failed to take advantage of the chance to prove himself with Karl-Anthony Towns out. Gobert […]

Jaylen Brown embarrassed Naz Reid so much that the Minnesota Timberwolves big man couldn’t help but confront the Boston Celtics star after his epic and-1 shot. Late in the second quarter, Brown executed a fastbreak play with perfection, draining a floater off Reid who ended up getting whistled for a foul. The two had a […]

The turmoil started to brew in the Atlanta Hawks camp after Trae Young and head coach Nate McMillan started to have a conflict of interest when Young chose not to attend a run-through session because he was receiving treatment for his injured shoulder. Due to that issue, rumors have been percolating on the possibility of […]

Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks got their revenge on the Minnesota Timberwolves, and Mavs fans may have an enemy supporter to thank for that. The Mavs were no match to the Timberwolves during the Monday showdown, and it certainly didn’t help that Doncic was ejected late in the third quarter of the game. As […]

There’s no denying that Anthony Edwards has now established himself as one of the most dangerous offensive threats in the NBA today.

Despite missing the services of the tandem of Rudy Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns, the Minnesota Timberwolves have managed to defy expectations and win all their last three games. A big reason for their recent success is the play of Anthony Edwards, who is seemingly taking more of a table-setter role for the Timberwolves, particularly in […]

There have been plenty of concerns regarding Rudy Gobert’s true impact on winning. These questions only grew louder after the Minnesota Timberwolves gave up a boatload of picks to acquire him from the Utah Jazz. One thing cannot be questioned, however, and that is Gobert’s commitment to helping out his immediate community. On Monday, Gobert, […]

Don’t expect the Minnesota Timberwolves to have Karl-Anthony Towns back in action anytime soon. Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch believes that the talented big man will still be needing weeks of recovery before he can suit up and take the floor for Minnesota (h/t Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic). Chris Finch tells @PAOnTheMic that he […]

With Karl-Anthony Towns and Rudy Gobert out, the onus was on Anthony Edwards to lift the Minnesota Timberwolves to victory. Surely enough, Ant has been up to the task. Edwards led the Timberwolves to a triumph over the Dallas Mavericks, 116-106, no small feat on the second night of a back-to-back. And this may all […]

Minnesota Timberwolves big man Rudy Gobert has sat out the last two games with an ankle injury. The Wolves won both games without their center and even dropped 150 points on the Chicago Bulls Sunday. When the Wolves host Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks Monday night, Timberwolves fans will want to know for certain: […]

Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves haven’t had the most inspired season through the first two-plus months of the 2022-23 regular season. The injury to Karl-Anthony Towns hasn’t helped matters at all, and blockbuster offseason addition Rudy Gobert has missed his fair share of games as well. Nonetheless, at least for one night, Edwards and […]

Christmas came early this year 💙 pic.twitter.com/cqYLaiPyYF — […]

Anthony Edwards put on a show on Sunday against the Chicago Bulls to lead the Minnesota Timberwolves to a 150-126 home victory. It was simply one of those nights for Edwards where he feels like no one’s going to stop him as much as he did on his way to this windmill dunk late in […]
