On today’s episode, Harrison Faigen of SB Nation joins the show to discuss the Minnesota Timberwolves, Los Angeles Lakers, and the Wednesday night meeting between the two teams that saw the Wolves fall to 2-3. — The Timberwolves’ defense has been utterly terrible five games into the season. They rank 28th in defensive efficiency, a […]
The ESPN primetime matchup between the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Los Angeles Lakers perhaps wasn’t what it was billed to be before the season, versus what it ended up being on the floor. Still down Anthony Edwards and Jaylen Clark, the Wolves faced a Laker squad that could only physically dress eight players for Wednesday […]

The best and worst part about the NBA is that there’s always another game right around the corner. Sometimes that fact is an opportunity. Other times it is a threat. After losing to the Denver Nuggets for the first time since November of 2023, the Minnesota Timberwolves look to bounce back against a shorthanded Los […]
The Denver Nuggets coming to town would typically be a welcome sight at Target Center for fans both watching in-person and on the Minnesota Timberwolves’ second nationally-televised game of the year. However, just five days after the season opener in Portland, it would prove to be the first complete game test for a banged-up Minnesota […]
As first reported by ESPN insider Shams Charania, news of Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards injury status was announced Monday afternoon. Shortly afterwards, the official Timberwolves Public Relations team put out a statement with more details. The report calmed some nerves from the initial jump scare of a potential two week injury. Many of us […]
On Sunday night in downtown Minneapolis, the Minnesota Timberwolves opened their home schedule with a 114-110 win over the Indiana Pacers. Given the Pacers’ lengthy injury report, it was a game the Wolves needed to win. Despite Anthony Edwards playing just over three minutes, leaving the game with right hamstring tightness, the Timberwolves found a […]

Streaming Wars, Revenge Plots & One Very Real Early-Season Gut Check It’s never just “another game” when the Minnesota Timberwolves and Denver Nuggets play basketball. These two teams have been circling each other like heavyweight rivals in a trilogy fight, except this script is actually good. The rivalry truly kicked off back in 2023, when […]
Timberwolves basketball is back at Target Center. For the first time since the 2025 Western Conference Finals, the Minnesota Timberwolves took the floor in downtown Minneapolis with actual stakes attached to the game. The crowd was electric right from the opening tip as Wolves fans waited patiently through the long offseason. There were a lot […]

Because whatever we watched Friday night in L.A. was straight […]
It’s been quite a while since a preseason storyline completely hijacked the fanbase quite like the Timberwolves’ backup point guard conundrum. Our SBNation Reacts question this week was supposed to be a simple poll. A fun little barbershop debate. Donte DiVincenzo? Rob Dillingham? Bones Hyland? Who’s gonna matter most as the non-Mike-Conley adult in the […]
You couldn’t script a more “welcome home, now fight for your life” kind of opener if you tried. The Wolves limp back to Minneapolis after coughing up a frustrating loss to Luka and the Lakers. But now it’s time to hit the reset button. Lights back on at Target Center. Finally. Wolves vs. Pacers. Sunday […]
Game Story You’ve heard of Prime Time. But tonight was a different type of Prime Time. It was the first primetime NBA game on Amazon Prime. On a beautiful 70 degree Los Angeles evening, Crypto.com Arena was packed full of fans and stars. Dwyane Wade. Candace Parker. Justin Herbert. Even the Timberwolves very own Kevin […]

Minnesota […]
It’s the rematch the NBA’s scheduling gods clearly had circled in red ink. The Timberwolves, fresh off their opener in Portland where Anthony Edwards casually decided, “Okay fine, I’ll win this myself”, now head to Los Angeles for their first real marquee test of the season. Yes, Portland was stressful. Yes, Portland was sloppy. But […]
With 10 minutes left in the third quarter, Deni Avdija barreled down the lane, buried his shoulder into Jaden McDaniels’ chest, discarded the All-Defensive wing, and converted an and one to bump the Portland Trail Blazers’ feisty single-digit lead to six. A small play among many over the course of three and a half quarters, […]

Here we go, Canis Hoopus faithful – Timberwolves basketball is officially back! No more scrimmage vibes. No more International Friendship Games Against Teams Who Just Lost by 58 to the Clippers. Starting tonight… the games actually count. And the stakes have never been higher. Back-to-back Western Conference Finals appearances pushed this franchise out of “hopeful […]
Can you believe we are a decade into this opening night predictions? I have to take a quick moment to shout out our previous Canis Hoopus overlords, John Meyer (FAQ incoming), Eric in Madison, Kyle Theige, and Jack Borman for setting a foundation of tradition and pinpoint forecasting abilities. If you really want a few […]
The Wolves Didn’t Come This Far to Only Come This Far You can count the truly great Timberwolves seasons on one hand and still have fingers left to point at old scars. 2004’s Big Three run. The Ant-KAT breakthrough that torched Phoenix and toppled Denver. Last spring’s sequel where a disjointed regular season suddenly turned […]
Game Story A preseason back-to-back? Joel Embiid’s return? The Minnesota Timberwolves kicked off a weekend of Minnesota sports teams playing against Philadelphia sports teams in their final preseason tune-up before the regular season officially starts in Portland on Wednesday. The Wolves did not activate many of their “main rotation guys” tonight after they played high […]
