And the Wolves 🐺 are back: one winning season since 2004-05 is hard to fathom but with the new year comes some mild optimism…

This has been a spectacular season for the Wolves, and I am glad we got an extra month and a half to show for it, including a classic series against Denver. They made it to the final 3 teams remaining. And as someone who isn’t championship or bust, I would do it again instantly.

And the Wolves will win their first playoff series in 20 years. At long last. A lifetime. What a feeling.
5 years no player option is a great get for MN. 6 more years of Ant under contract 📈
Anthony Edwards, Timberwolves finalizing 5-year max contract extension.
Quick story with @ShamsCharania. Much more to come

Which Key Roles for 2023 Playoff Teams Should the Wolves Try to Fill?
We look at some key roles filled on this year’s playoff teams’ and explains how the Wolves would benefit from trying to replicate them moving forward: canishoopus.com/2023/6/8/237…
The Wolves are 0.5 games out of 6th. Feels like it can't be true but it is.
They have 5 of next 7 at home, 3 vs HOU/DET. Maybe just maybe they are finding something
(Please pay no attention to the fact that they are just 1.5 gms out of 13th)

the youngest player in NBA history to reach 450 made three-point field goals.
this kid is so special.
ALT Anthony Edwards.
Amazing summary of the Wolves season thus far. Sloppy. Undisciplined. Cringeworthy
This is an all-timer! Russell not realizing he's supposed to be on the court, Suns play a possession 5-on-4, make a 3-pointer. #Timberwolves

Wolves 3-point shooting...
10/26 vs. SAS: 20 for 34 (58.8%)
11/5 vs. HOU: 15 for 33 (45.5%)
Other 9 Games: 91 for 321 (28.3%)
Effort has been terrible. Killed in transition and layup lines galore.
Disaster game all around 📉
G3: MN 116 OKC 106
*Ant 30-11 +22 13/19 - looked great slashing to rim + had jumper going too
*Bench was critical in 2H - nice for front end of b2b seeing 4/5 starters < 31 mins
MN bounces back w/solid road W though tough to learn too much vs Thunder w/o SGA
2-1
Next: SAS tm
G1: Min 115 OKC 108
It was ugly but it counts all the same
*Ruuuudy 📈 very impressive debut - his presence was felt constantly on both ends
*KAT great 1H decision making and passing - pressed far too much late
*Jaden A+ 19 6 5 stocks +14 - more of that
1-0
Next up: Utah 10/21

Best time of the year, bar none. Pumped, and continually happy they had the summer they did. So, here are 12 thoughts for this season…some good, some more cautious:
And the Wolves are back: pushed darn close to all-in to land their defensive anchor Rudy after an upstart 2022 - some thoughts leading into their most hyped season since 04(?)...
Misc
*Wolves will miss Beasley the most from last year - bombed 3s at a high clip w/quick release to get them off in tight windows - Forbes 🤞
*not on board w/"MN lacks depth" narrative - TP, Nowell can really play PnR, JMac sturdy floor general & Naz is very capable 3rd big
