Preseason Preview #3: Wolves at Heat
The preseason continues on Sunday in full swing with a preview of the regular season opener. The Timberwolves will look to continue their good vibes from training camp and gain the meaningless “upper hand” against the Miami Heat before the rematch kicks off the 2026-27 regular season. Game Info Precursor to game #1 It seems […]
Feel Good Friday: Wonderous Wolves
We’re two games deep into preseason and that’s enough for us fans to be feeling good this Friday! Don’t believe me? Hear it from the voice of the Timberwolves, Alan Horton. Will it get frustrating to watch LaMelo Ball and Anthony Edwards host their own personal three-point contest every game? Sure. But will it be […]
The Old Guard Is Gone. Who Leads This Timberwolves Team?
The leaves are changing and the temperatures are getting brisk which means one thing. A new Minnesota Timberwolves season is upon us. Just like past seasons tied to the Chris Finch Era, this one is similar in the fact that it doesn’t look similar to past rosters. Finch welcomes that challenge time and time again. […]
Pacers 123, Timberwolves 112: New-Look Offense Won’t Be Ignored Even in Loss
The Minnesota Timberwolves played a special game against the Indiana Pacers at the Hilton Coliseum on the Iowa State campus as former Cyclone Tyrese Haliburton got his first game action in over 600 days. He addressed the crowd before tip-off, leaving a buzz circulating through the arena. Many were excited to see Hali’s first action […]
Preseason Preview #2: Wolves “host” Pacers Game Thread
After drubbing the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday, the Wolves are back in action on Wednesday to take on the Indiana Pacers. One game in and I’m already happy to never have to look at the Timberwolves in their 1920’s Bathing Suit jerseys ever again. See below, Andrew Wiggins looking more like he’s playing in a […]
Timberwolves 116, Bucks 97: Basketball is Back, Baby!
Folks, you know the movie The Polar Express? The silver bells are ringing, and even though I doubted the summer would ever end, I can hear the sleigh arriving. The good news? Basketball is back. The bad news? Tonight can barely be considered basketball. Both the Minnesota Timberwolves and Milwaukee Bucks were, at best, rusty. […]
Power Rankings Reaction: Where Are Wolves Going Into Preseason?
Editor’s Note: Throughout this season, Jeremy will be providing his reactions to how various NBA Power Rankings list the Wolves on Mondays. Hope you enjoy this series! The Minnesota Timberwolves hope they can maintain their status as one of the top teams in the Western Conference for the 2026-27 season. The Wolves have won a […]
Preseason Preview #1: Wolves at Bucks Game Thread
We made it folks. It’s been 144 days since the last time we saw the Minnesota Timberwolves play basketball. A lot has happened in the past four months. New faces. New threads. New voices. Hell, even (technically) new owners! In what figures to be a wild season, we can finally kick off our first official […]
The Official Doggelgangers of the 2026-27 Minnesota Timberwolves
We are 17 days away from the Wolves finally lacing up and hitting the court for real, so I thought what better way to put a tidy bow on an especially eventful offseason this year than by presenting you my official Wolves doggelgangers list! I must say, it took me an incredible amount of restraint […]
Minnesota Timberwolves: Starter Report Card Preview
Grades are an imperfect metric, but they are a widely shared cultural reference point. As a former teacher, the A-F grading system is baked into my brain. A few years ago, I created a grading system for the Minnesota Timberwolves because I thought it would be fun to try and channel each player’s contribution to […]
Let’s mess up the ‘96 Draft!
CONTINUATION OF THE “WHAT IF” WOLVES SERIES. IN THIS SERIES, I PLAY THE ROLE OF TIMBERWOLVES OVERLORD AND GO BACK IN TIME AND RIGHT SOME OF THE WRONGS OF OUR FAVORITE FRANCHISE. SINCE THIS IS THE TIMBERWOLVES, THERE ARE A LOT OF WRONGS. THIS SERIES MAY GO ON FOREVER. “What If” Wolves Volume Three: We […]
A Tale of Two Trades: LaMelo, KAT, and Aggression in the Star Market
To many modern fans, the Karl-Anthony Towns trade was a pivot point of their fandom. I can speak to this myself as well. It’s hard for me to move on from a player who defined the era of Minnesota Timberwolves basketball to which I felt the most connected. I watched KAT battle with the reputation […]
A Wolves Fan Guide to the Northwest Division
Ah, the historic Northwest Division. Home of storied rivalries, hallowed tradition, and elaborate fight songs. Why the first thing I think of when I hear the word “Northwest” are the jagged peaks of the Cascade mountain range and the … dust bowl environs of Oklahoma City suburbs…that are about a 33 hour drive away from […]
The 2026 Minnesota Lynx: The Good, Bad and … Now What?
Coming into 2026 with not as high of expectations as the few years prior due to a new-look roster, the Minnesota Lynx surprised all of us with an impressive performance over the course of the regular season. Minnesota was the best team in the WNBA all season long, and for the third straight year finished […]
Timberwolves Player Previews: The Bigs
In this final part of my season season preview series, we take a look at the big men of the Minnesota Timberwolves and how huge they could be for the progression of this team in the ‘26-’27 season. If you’re interested in reading the first two parts of this series, check them out below: Rudy […]
An Early Argument for Coach of the Year: Chris Finch
Editor’s Note: We are extremely excited to announce another new addition to the Canis family, Troy Asseln! You may recognize his name with his work in other Wolves spheres, but we are blessed to have him here as well. Give him a follow on BlueSky as well @bigmeatyclaws! “There are certainly things that we can […]
Liberty 87, Lynx 71: Swept by New York in Dominating Fashion
Editor’s Note: What a game to have to make his debut on. Woof. Shout-out to our new contributor, Austin Duke Schindler, who stepped up to recap this game. Some of you may already know him from his journalistic work, but if not, give him a follow @dukeschindlertv! In an absolute shocker, the number one-seed Minnesota […]
Secondhand Champs
Minnesota sports fandom is not for the faint of heart. To be a Minnesota fan is a constant wade through the lingering vape-waste left by departed stars who found greater success in another city. Both sides of the Mississippi clutch their heads, reeling from second-hand champ syndrome. Everyone sees it. In my day job as […]
WNBA Playoffs: Liberty at Lynx Game 2 Thread
There are platitudes aplenty for the situation the Minnesota Lynx find themselves in. They were run off their own homecourt as the number one seed, falling to the eighth seeded New York Liberty by a final score of 91-75. The fairy dust that had kept them soaring through the regular season looks to be all […]
Lynx Claim Multiple Awards for Excellent Season (That is Still Worth Celebrating)
The WNBA announced this afternoon that the Minnesota Lynx have not one, but two award winners. Olivia Miles was unanimously voted as the WNBA Rookie of the Year, claiming every single one of the first-place votes in a feat that fails to highlight just how excellent Miles was as a rookie. MVP is the only […]
Jonathan Kuminga: From Goma to Minneapolis
Editor’s Note: I am thrilled to introduce someone that many of you already know, eshold! Erik is one of our long-time commenters who will be dropping in from time-to-time to grace us with his thoughts. You can find him on social media here @eshold as well! As a lifelong Wolves fan, my previous perspective on […]

WNBA Playoffs: Liberty at Lynx Game 1 Thread
Oh, boy. If you haven’t heard by now, there is a history between the Minnesota Lynx and New York Liberty. That history includes the stolen 2024 WNBA title. Two years later, the Lynx and their fans haven’t forgotten. It’s time to serve some revenge. Game Info What to Watch For Playoff Spectacle Olivia Miles is […]
They Forgot About Trey
I have a confession to make. In 2024, a time that feels like a lifetime ago, the Minnesota Timberwolves were in Sacramento for Game 2 of the new season. With 3:29 left in the first quarter, Keegan Murray was subbed out for Trey Lyles, a player I mostly remembered from his one year in college […]
