Ha!! That would have been sweet if it would've went down. Jaylen Nowell went behind the back reverse finish and it just didn't fall. The guys are having fun!

130-115, Wolves win. That final score doesn't do it justice. The Nuggets got ran out of the gym tonight.

I agree completely, kek. A guy like Taurean Prince has been in the League too long to continue playing so poorly, well below his career averages. So it shouldn't be a surprise to see him play as well as he has been recently. And I've thought all along that Beasley would eventually start progressing towards his 3-point shooting mean. I think he'll continue to get better the rest of the season. McDaniels has been showing signs of getting past the sophomore slump. Vanderbilt has been a standout surprise this season and Nowell has emerged as a solid rotation contributor. So our bench is coming around. Winning this way against Denver on the road without DLO and with Edwards playing so poorly tells us something about how this team has developed this season.

I'd still be interested in a deal for Harrison Barnes if we didn't have to give up too much. But otherwise, the only sort of deal I'd be interested in would be a Layman deal to free up salary to sign Monroe or to acquire a Robin Lopez.

They have been so great today but these type of 4-5 mins runs there on right now happen way to often.

Edit:Good last two mins though


In my opinion, consistently good bench play is the difference between a first round playoff series loss or upsetting one of the top seeds and advancing. The Wolves might just sit tight at the deadline and do nothing, but that's gambling on these guys to show up later in the year.


The bench was on fire tonight, and we can't expect that to ever be consistent. I still have no clue why KAT doesn't average 20+ shots a game. He is so damn efficient.

Vando may be my favorite player in the game. A steal of a contract!

Lip! Did you dump your season tickets? We don't hear much from you anymore! Perhaps you've taken up painting or are busy reading the classics.

Yeah, really interesting to see how it's all worked out. He was a possible solution for us at PF, but he's just so......meh. I mean, there is nothing he is particularly great at and nothing he is particularly awful at. I prefer Jarred Vanderbilt's merchant of chaos routine.....and much less expensive!

I'm picturing you as Frank the Tank from Old School now. "Hey everybody, we're going Streaking! Who's with me?"
