Photo by Sam Forencich/NBAE via The Minnesota Timberwolves’ loss to the Blazers felt like a regression — similar to the losses against the Lakers, and the Clippers, and the Wizards. Those three losses came before two games against Denver that felt like a progression, making another shellacking at the hands of the Blazers feel like a noteworthy step backward. Topics from today’s pod include: Ricky Rubio says (postgame audio included): “We gotta get better and we gotta get better now.” Why there hasn’t been much to take from the six losses. The Damian...

Britt Robson of The Athletic joins the pod to discuss a set of storylines from this Minnesota Timberwolves season that were not anticipated at the year’s onset, including: Why the Jarred Vanderbilt infatuation feels justified. What is his role once Josh Okogie returns? What about when Karl-Anthony Towns returns? How temporary is the brokenness of the Timberwolves rotations The trappings of the D’Angelo Russell and Ricky Rubio pairing. What does Rubio need to do to get going?

Another night. Another Loss. Another Solo Post-Game Wrap. Well, it’s not quite a win, but moral victories are just as good ... right? Okay, maybe not, but the Minnesota Timberwolves gave us a competitive loss, which is a hell of a lot better than what they have been giving us of late. Once again, Host Jake Paynting is back with a solo Paynt Points Post-Game Wrap to dissect all the best and worst bits of the night. The agenda today included Ricky Rubio, Naz Reid, Juancho Hernangomez, D’Angelo Russell and, of course, Jarred Vanderbilt and his breakout night. (If you...

The Minnesota Timberwolves acquired point guard Ricky Rubio to provide steadiness and playmaking in the backcourt, but also to be a veteran leader. Rubio ripped into the team after Tuesday night’s loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, suggesting the Timberwolves (2-2) are far from a .500 team and also stating guys are being too selfish: […] The post Ricky Rubio puts Wolves on blast after getting thumped by Clippers appeared first on ClutchPoints.

Photo by Sean M. Haffey/ Losing two games the way the Minnesota Timberwolves lost to the Los Angeles Lakers and the Los Angeles Clippers is a dangerous, slippery slope. Today we discuss why the Wolves need to inject joy back into their brand of basketball, even if Karl-Anthony Towns is out — because this ain’t gonna cut it.

Gary A. Vasquez-USA TODAY Sports A bad second quarter downed the Timberwolves Well, the first quarter was fun, right? Minnesota opened the game well, led by Ricky Rubio who had eight points in the first frame. The fun didn’t last long, though, as the defense eroded in the second quarter and Minnesota lost reach of the Clippers. All of my notes for the second frame are some variation of “Player X (take your pick) guarding Lou Williams is a disaster.” There were at least three names you could fill in there, but it really was Lou who killed them. By halftime,...
