The Zion Williamson Temptation
As we sit staring down another long Minnesota offseason, waiting for October to arrive and Timberwolves basketball to finally return, our minds inevitably drift toward the future. That’s what NBA offseasons are for. They are five months of hope, speculation, trade machine screenshots, and fan bases convincing themselves that one move, just one move, is […]
Could Timberwolves Trade For Kyrie Irving?
The Minnesota Timberwolves are looking for ways to upgrade their roster this offseason after a premature elimination from the playoffs at the hands of the San Antonio Spurs. The Wolves have a pressing need at the point guard position, so they need to scour the rest of the league to see if there are any […]

Timberwolves Off-Season: Take a Breath and Keep Calm
A little over a week removed from the end of the Timberwolves season, the first thing everyone should do is take a breath. Not an “everything is fine” breath. Not one of those fake calm-down breaths right after your team gets sent home by a 7-foot-6 alien who looks like he was designed in a […]

This Trade Idea Sends Ja Morant to Wolves
The Minnesota Timberwolves are sitting on the couch for the Western Conference Finals for the first time since 2023 and it’s a feeling they don’t want to have again next May. The Wolves will look for ways to improve their roster throughout the offseason, especially on the trade market. ESPN senior writer Andre Snellings suggested […]
Canis Pulsus Vol. 50 – Memories Edition Results
Now that we’ve properly buried the Minnesota Timberwolves season, I think it’s safe for us to come back to the table and remember the good times. There were 25 of us who pulled up to the dinner table for Canis Pulsus to reminisce. What were the favorite on and off court memories from the season? […]
The Minnesota Timberwolves Biggest Offseason Questions
After an unceremonious end to the 2025-2026 season, it seems as though the Minnesota Timberwolves are heading towards an offseason where every indication is that big changes will be made, with the main focus on the roster. After getting taken out by the two teams battling in the Western Conference Finals this season in the […]
Canis Pulsus Vol. 50 – Memories Edition
It’s been almost a week since the Minnesota Timberwolves season came to a flaming end. Though the final on the court memory of the Wolves was them getting smacked with eight minutes of garbage time left, there were still plenty of good parts to the journey. Let’s not lose sight of all that. So let’s […]
“We Have to Take the Next Step”: Tim Connelly Prepares for an Offseason of Uncertainty
When the Minnesota Timberwolves were blown out in Game 6 of their Western Conference Semifinals series against the San Antonio Spurs to end their season, one thing was abundantly clear: the team needs to get better. It was the third straight season in which the Wolves got demolished in their final game of the season. […]
Wolves’ Joe Ingles signs with Melbourne United
It didn’t take long for the Minnesota Timberwolves roster to change going into the offseason.

NBA Mock Draft Roundup: Who Will Wolves Take at No. 28?
Now that the Minnesota Timberwolves are officially in offseason mode, it’s time to look at potential prospects they could take with the No. 28 overall pick. It’s a deep draft, so it’s very possible that the Wolves could end up with a valuable piece to the puzzle even with a late first-round pick. We scoured […]
An Open Letter to My Fandom
Dear Leo, Is it time for you to retire from watching Minnesota Timberwolves games? All too many times this season, your wife has seen you keel over in pain after the final buzzer sounds in a Wolves game. You collapse to your knees and your forehead plops down to the carpet. You let out a […]

The Timberwolves Never Gave Themselves a Chance
In Game 6 of their Western Conference Semifinals series against the San Antonio Spurs, the Minnesota Timberwolves season came to a thudding end as they were blown out for a third time in the series, 139-109. In retrospect, the Timberwolves were likely dead on arrival coming into the series. The Spurs showed they were the […]
Spurs, 139, Timberwolves 109: That’s All Folks
And just like that, it’s over. The Minnesota Timberwolves came into Game 6 of their Western Conference Semifinal series against the San Antonio Spurs to replicate their series from two years ago against the Denver Nuggets and force Game 7. Instead, they repeated a different kind of history. For the third straight year, the Timberwolves’ […]
Fraternizing with the Enemy: A Premature Closing Conversation with Pounding the Rock’s JR Wilco
I am joined by Pounding the Rock’s (our Spurs sister site) JR Wilco for yet another parlay about the series as it continues. With the Spurs now up 3-2, on the verge of closing out a competitive second round matchup, much of our conversation shifted to if this series is about to end, or if […]

Anthony Edwards, Timberwolves ‘Not Worried’ After Game 5 Loss
The Minnesota Timberwolves are on the brink of elimination after a 126-97 loss to the San Antonio Spurs in Game 5 of their Western Conference semifinal series at the Frost Bank Center. The Wolves now trail 3-2 in the series and have lost their second game of the series by over 25 points. Some teams […]
Spurs 126, Timberwolves 97: Minnesota Lets Go of the Rope
The Minnesota Timberwolves entered Game 5 in San Antonio with a chance to retake control of their Western Conference Semifinals series. A win would have snatched back home-court advantage, put the Spurs on the brink of elimination, and set up a Friday night closeout opportunity at Target Center. Unfortunately, none of that happened. Instead, Minnesota […]
Game 5 Preview: Timberwolves at Spurs
Minnesota Timberwolves at San Antonio SpursDate: May 12th, 2026Time: 7:00 PM CDTLocation: Frost Bank CenterTelevision Coverage: NBC, Peacock After four games of chaos, blood pressure spikes, blown opportunities, sudden reversals, superstar theater, and at least one officiating decision that will be discussed in San Antonio like it was the Zapruder film, the Minnesota Timberwolves and […]
Game 4 Was Classic Minnesota Timberwolves Basketball
Game 4 was a must-win for the Minnesota Timberwolves. That was true coming into the night with the Wolves down 2-1 in the series, and certainly became true after Victor Wembanyama launched an elbow at the neck of Naz Reid and ejected the San Antonio Spurs’ best player from the game with a Flagrant Two […]
Vegas is Disrepecting the Timberwolves at Their Own Peril
The disrespect continues for the Minnesota Timberwolves. After the Timberwolves clawed back to even their Western Conference Semifinals series against the San Antonio Spurs at two games apiece, the latest NBA title odds dropped, and Minnesota somehow ended up with the longest odds of any remotely viable contender left standing. I’m excluding the Lakers who […]
Timberwolves 114, Spurs 109: They Never Make it Easy, Do They?
What did Sunday night’s Game 5 win take for the Minnesota Timberwolves? “Some heart,” Rudy Gobert said to the Target Center crowd after the madness had ended. Where do we even start? Perhaps the part where this should have been less close than it ended up as, with a sharp elbow to the face? With […]
