The Minnesota Timberwolves fall flat, are embarrassed by the Denver Nuggets



The Minnesota Timberwolves fell behind by 30 points through just one quarter en route to an embarrassing loss to the Denver Nuggets. Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) breaks down the early indicators that the Wolves weren’t going to be competitive in this one but also finds some silver linings from extended run for rookies Josh Minott and Wendell Moore Jr., who both played well in garbage time. Plus, individual studs and duds and the Wolves’ ongoing struggles to get Rudy Gobert the ball.

    Bet all those wolves fans from last game still want Denver round 1 huh? Let’s be honest the only teams in the west competing w/ Denver are the GSW, Memphis, and mayyyybe Dallas

    Watching Rudy Gobert makes my eyes bleed. I've been watching the Wolves since they came into the league and I'm more fearful of what the franchise is allowing to happen under the transfer of this new ownership group than at any point under Glen Taylor and that's saying a lot. This make a splash by massively overpaying for a statuesque defender whos best years are behind him in an effort to secure a new stadium and fleece the fans into paying to watch them once again tear down a promising talented young team is soooo capitalistically satanic theres no other way to say it. You bring in guys who know NOTHING about basketball then you allow them to get rid of the interim GM and mortgage everything for this Con-artist named Connelly I don't want to hear that we need to trade KAT to make up for the lack of draft capital we have anymore. They are picks who you should use and devolop into quality players. Instead they treat everything as a capital gain and treat real people like assets and chips to send and receive like theres no such thing as chemistry or a locker room. Trade Rudy Gobert for WHATEVER you can get for him. He can't play with KAT and KAT is better and younger than him flat out. Stop with this he's going to fix the defense he makes 3 times the salary he's worth and is a black hole on offense. I could go on for hours but Connelly needs to be held accountable for his actions instead of always blaming the players for knowing what a colossal mistake was made and getting deflated and not wanting to kill themselves making this team look like it doesn't have the massive problem this newly built roster provides/causes. As bad as they look I dont think changing coaches will make this team any better. Is hiring Quinn Snyder going to make Rudy 5 years younger. He's 7-1" and it amazes people that he can detour people from running down the paint. Who cares, he is the most immobile flat footed can't get to the perimeter dumpster fire of a defender always yelling at everyone around him to switch rotate and get out to cover guys while he gets pushed around the lane. We were so much more physical with Vando and Beverly which is exactly the opposite of what they were making the trade for… OMG everybody is mad at the players for what the front office did to this team and they keep talking about letting him make another block-buster trade to fix HIS F-up. This is the same guy who couldn't identify Bol Bol as playable and did everything he could to get rid of him for nothing instead of turn him into what he should be. The Magic who have had a dumpster fire of a franchise since Dwight left who can't develop Mo Bamba or Johnathan Isaac Bol Bol came in and looks by far better than both. Connelly is a spy sent from future Denver to destroy the Timberwolves whos job it is is to drive out or trade all the talented players from the Wolves and ensure Anthony Edwards can't win and to force his way out. Im telling you he was sent from an alternative timeline to literally get the entire state to turn their back on them so they can move them to Vegas and Lebron can own them when they give him the keys to LV. If I knew how to do it I would lock the terminator on his ass and he would answer for his high crimes. Its KAT its Dlo oh Ant hasn't taken the leap…. the problem is literally none of those things. The problem is that Connelly was allowed free reign because Arod(who lies and cheats at his old job but its ok we want him here) and some internet/investment guy are suckering poor Glen Taylor into making these God awful choices. RUDY is the problem. If there was a trade to be made it was for Mitchell to pair him with Edwards and Kat and possibly Dlo and see if other teams can out score you. Good luck. Instead we have this crap to look forward to. Blame Dlo until they aquire lesser players for him and then people will blame KAT when he hasn't been on the court. Then when they give him away for lesser players it will somehow be ANT and Jadens Fault for not being able to win with the sh*t show known as Rudy Gobert. I hope they send him to Guantanamo bay and execute him for his crimes against the Timberwolves and his crimes against humanity hanging out on Epstein island and bring Tim Connelly with you. They are in it for a paycheck and will collect no matter the outcome. While people that love this team and supported it since 1989 and the playing in the metrodome days are forced to suffer with this dumster fire of a franchise once again. I've said enough but my last statement is "I have no words"…

    Any confidence Minnesota fans had about them being able to compete with Nuggets has been decimated. Honestly wolves are having a better year than I thought they would tho especially now with KAT out, gotta give props to ANT he has been seriously impressive and if Connelly can figure out how to build around him there’s gonna be some serious battles in the future between these teams.

    Naz Reid is not a good center Finch is a shitty coach for putting Reid on jokic in the first half them forcing ally oops to gobert in the first quarter why they are running plays for a player with 0 offensive skills

  12. Sam White

    Wolves fans are so generous for wanting Nuggets in the playoffs. Handing us a 4-0 cakewalk lol, Nuggs going to the finals.
