They discuss the best and worst aspects of the...

Let’s Have the Jarrett Culver Discussion
Thomas Shea-USA TODAY Sports The Texas Tech swingman had a disappointing rookie year, but that doesn’t mean we should jump to call him a bust. In sports, it’s natural to root for the hometown team, often regardless of how good they are. These days, there is hope around the Timberwolves, but without the hometown connection how many people would’ve stuck through the long playoff droughts and years of ineptitude? We stuck by the Timberwolves because, for many of us, they’re part of our home. The same goes for players. We WANT to root for the homegrown players....

2020 NBA Preseason Schedule
Pool Photo-USA TODAY Sports The NBA has released it’s 2020-2021 preseason schedule. We are officially 14 days away from the start of the 2020-2021 NBA season! It seems unreal that not only are the Minnesota Timberwolves finally back to action, but that the NBA itself is somehow staying true to it’s lofty timeline goals (for now). The Timberwolves get just 3 games in this 8-day preseason, drawing the Memphis Grizzlies (twice) and the Dallas Mavericks. It was surprising to see that Minnesota did not get any games against teams closer to their proximity. Regardless,...

Canis Hoopus Appreciation Post
Photo by David Sherman/NBAE via It’s been 261 consecutive days since the Minnesota Timberwolves last played a professional basketball game. And yet, 2020 has still given us plenty to talk about — from the death of George Floyd, to the COVID-19 pandemic, finishing up with the 2020 election — our little community has had plenty of non-basketball (yet far more serious and important) topics to debate and discuss over these last nine or so months since I took over as Site Manager. While the basketball conversations have picked up over the last few weeks as we...
