I was so excited to the start of the season. Its come crashing down. Bring on the trade opener


Streak ends tonight and Wolves get the W by 10 or more!! I hope they prove all the "fans" wrong tonight!! Hopefully their talk and airing things out the other night will help get them back on track!! Let's get the W Wolves!!


It’s clear this team is no longer hungry, they got off to a good start, got comfortable, lost focus, and became complacent. Right now this team doesn’t want it, they aren’t looking to prove the sleepers wrong, maybe they thought they accomplished that already because we were in the 7th seed? I don’t know. They need to want it! They need to find that hunger! Hopefully this losing streak wakes them up. They probably needed this humbling stretch as well. Better to have happen at this point in the season then later


It looks like there’s maybe 40 or so people in attendance. Oof.


I don’t know what the consensus on the Jazz’s uniforms, but I love them.


Imagine if we had a player like Bogdanovic on our team


Towns/Gobert matchup. Who’s in foul trouble first? Both guys are cryin bitches.


Wiggins dunks on Gobert so hard that it creates a time-space alteration which turns him into Vince Carter vs Frederic Weis


I can't take another bad loss...


Quinn Snyder will use suits as his flesh puppet. Let’s see what bizarre lineups the Wolves can use to inadvertently tank away the season.

Even my dog won’t watch this ****.

Ingles has a hell of an "Middle-age guy at the Y" game
And I totally mean that as a complement


If it wasn't for the numbers I would not have any idea who is who between Bojan and Ingles.
They’ve got the balding white guy market cornered.

Every time we run a two Point-Guard line-up, a wild timberwolf dies.


Here we go
the slow sag toward oblivion


Jeff "Hokey-Pokey" Teague. He goes in, then he comes back out


Why we playin streetball. Everyone going 1on1 and our D is awful for couple of games


So Gobert allowed to set illegal screens with impunity now huh?


Donovan Mitchell vs Jeff Teague epic duel


KAT loves taking stepback threes more than I like porn


Kat seems to be afraid of gobert. Maybe we should have Covington out vs gobert so Kat can shine when gobert is on the bench.


Mitchell has been absolutely knockdown from midrange


That Mitchell pass would have been an early pass of the year candidate if it didn't FLY out of bounds


Man if we lose this 6th game in a row some of y’all mf’s gonna be crying into that free Arby’s sandwich.


year 16 of the rebuild is going great so far


Why does anyone think they can do go at Gobert in the paint. Do not go up for that soft ****, he will murder you and your whole goddamn family.

If you really wanna go against him you better be prepared to throw it the **** down.


the wolves did not lose six straight at any point last season


Does Ryan just viciously insult the whole team on a personal level every half time? Our third quarters have been horrible every single game


That Jazz coach looks like a feral ghoul


this is a team in freefall with nothing coming to save them on the horizon


3 straight possessions going at Gobert in the paint, what is wrong with this team


We got Jingled. :(


What style of offense is this? Is there a plan? Does anyone know what they’re doing before they do it? Are we bad enough that Knicks fans can start taking shots at us? Has Karl Anthony Towns been replaced by a complacent lookalike? Is this professional basketball?


No lie if I was at the arena I’d have already left. I’d probably even try to return my beer on the way out.


Me tired of d suk bra


Gobert’s chicken wing screens that never get called infuriate me


It's frustrating to watch KAT sometimes. I'm not even talking about player KAT. I'm talking about person KAT. Sometimes he just acts so childish and as our franchise centerpiece its a damn shame.


kat lets Gobert do that... Like come on man


3 straight possessions going at Gobert in the paint, what is wrong with this team


Running Butler out of town was the best decision this team ever made. Rebuild 3.5 will be the winner.


This team is ***. I’m depressed about KAT maybe never developing to his full potential with this team.


Target Center just isn’t a hard place to play at for opponents, it’s practically shootaround for them


I want to se a fire lit under KAT to score on Gobert.


I'd trade KAT, Wiggins, Roco, Culver, Okogie, KBD, Layman, Reid, and Napier for Zion and then relocate the franchise in Seattle because this **** gets so old after 20 years.


As usual. God hates our teams, why that is, no one knows. We’ve never been blessed with a winner here. At least not since 1991 LOL. It will be the same at the end of the day.


I used believe that too but in year 5 I think he just doesn’t have it in him. What’s worse now he thinks he’s a guard and the reason for a lot the opposing teams fast break opportunities.

Gobert imo dominated Towns and influenced the game.


Hi everyone I’m ready to be hurt again


You all ever wonder what it would be like to root for a team that could knock down 3s?


Jazz ball sounds like a 50s drug euphemism


That’s why there should be more women referees. When they **** up, they don’t stubbornly stick to their call with the same vehemence as male refs.


Donovan Mitchell has really long arms


Mitchell is going to drop 40 just from midrange.


These Jazz announcers are low key ripping our offense, or lack thereof, tonight.



This might be the most terrible fancy passes by the most different players in a game.
Niche category


Can the Jazz miss...


The other team has a million turnovers, we score 3 points off of them.

Every time we turn the ball over, the other team hits a 3.


We might be the only team in the NBA that needs to do layup drills

Cripes, we can’t execute the simplest of shots. It’s not like they’re those nasty tough free throws, guys…


That's a flash of maturity from Towns, he's ****ing up, Gobert is killing him

and instead of trying to rage-take him, he passes and gets the cheap foul on the screen


Jazz are 13 of their last 17 from 3


Refs: make a totally reasonably call

Snyder: threatens to eat their kids
Refs: fail to do their jobs


This team saps my will to live

KAT's horrific defense
Has been one of the consistent factors in this losing streak. He has regressed dramatically since the first month of the season. I realize the competition has been better lately but still Karl looks slow, lazy, and obviously saving himself for offense at times.


Wolves down 20
It’s been a nice couple of weeks for Minnesota sports. The Gophers get taken to the woodshed by the hated Badgers, the Wolves in free fall. Lucy just keeps pulling the football away and I keep coming back for more.


The Unwatchables, yet I keep watching.

I love you, I love each member of this franchise but here in Europe we get up at 3am to watch the games, we sacrifice our days and our hours of sleep. If nobody wants to play, say it, so we turn off our alarm clocks


This was an obvious loss, don't watch.


Start pumping in fake crowed noise, because that stadium is never going to get filled.


Same twolves every yr


Hurting everyones feelings who watched those track the pack videos and got hyped.

Culture totally changed Bois, We ain't playing any defense.

These guys have so much potential. & they are a talented group of guys, they’re just not playing like it. Idk what’s going on but they needa get it together.. your fans are routing for you guys but a little more effort would be appreciated.

So, how about those Vikings huh?

It’s a train wreck at this point......it’s another lottery season with players trying to build their stats....same players...same results....Red Auerbach couldn’t turn this roster into a contender....

Lmao at everyone who thought this would be a good year after we started hot but I knew they were the same old wolves.

Can ONE team give us a pitty win please? :(

So tired of being a fan. Team doesn't care, why should I?

Not a team, kinda sad tbh. This franchise will probably be sold out of MN.


Defense free since ‘06


There really might not be a solution for this franchise. That building, ownership, staff, floor, locker room, water, jerseys, name is cursed. There really isn’t a point anymore. I feel bad for everyone playing on that team, that deserves better.


Kat will leave sooner than later. This organization might as well relocate. Maybe if we're lucky we'll get an expansion team in 15-20 years.


Continuing to disappoint, what’s new


Scoreboard, play some ****ing defense


Keep on losing !!! This team is by far worse then last year.. Kat had us fooled thinking he could be a leader .. Time to blow this up were getting nowhere


Junior is in so over his head, it's pathetic...Glen, sell the team already!


He has officially lost the team they won't listen to him


Need to get a big man to rebound. Use Kat as a 4.


This team is in worst shape than any time in the past 10 years and that’s saying something


Wow. Keep on sucking. How many more rebuilding years do we have to suffer?


This Team has no interest in playing defense. It’s great that the Players like Ryan Saunders but he’s not getting the job done. If things don’t turn around he will be out. I give Glen Taylor credit for taking a chance on him, but it sure looks like he’s over his head.


This team needs to get some energy and passion!! Look like they don't care!! I have tried to stay positive and doubted everybody who has been being negative but I need to apologize, you were all right!! They have just sucked and something needs to change!! I don't think it is Saunders, I think maybe the trade chatter has gotten to them a lot of them are young or pieces just don't fit!! Time for a trade and change things up!! Frustrating but as a Wolves fan, guess we shouldn't be surprised!! Long season ahead, who knows what will happen!! It will be interesting on Dec. 15th if anything happens being able to make trades!!


In a sick and twisted way I am enjoying all of this. Let's go for 7 in row. C'mon let's get it done!!!


There are so many problems with this franchise I don’t even know where to begin. Surely at some point the coach has to be looked at, favourite son or not, next the underperforming roster in which NO ONE should be safe from being traded - third - the front office - which is suppose to lead us back to the Playoffs with their bold moves and savvy ...I don’t know everything but I do know one thing - SOMETHING has got to CHANGE and FAST!!!!!


Poor fitbit. "We're already on your jersey, please stop tagging us"


Well that was fun everyone. See ya next season for a week or two


Wow.... that second half did NOT go well....hard to believe this game was tied at halftime


this team sucks ....period. All the talent and still not going anywhere.


It’s hard to know who is on the floor and I’m a season ticket holder who goes to games. I’d imagine it’s tough to build chemistry when the lineups are always changing. The Timberwolves are constantly pointing out who they are guarding when they sub in (nice) but the other team seems to know without the obvious pointing. And they defend like they know too. Is this a defense issue? An offense issue? it seems like the other teams are grown men and the Timberwolves are young kids. It’s likely true to a point, maybe it will get better after another ten games?


Donovan Mitchell played the late third and early fourth with his jersey untucked. Huh? KAT was not good in this game. Even his complaining seemed half-hearted.


Raise your hand if you believe Wiggins deserved more than 1 FT attempt tonight

And that steal at the end... Refs don't want Andrew Wiggins to succeed, league's not ready


Cannot stand watching KAT throw a fit when things don’t go his way every single night. If he’s not hitting 3s he looks disinterested in every other facet of the game.


Really don't even know what to say. Feels like we are kind of at a breaking point right now. We are being beaten physically/out-muscled by every team, we are playing lower IQ bball than every team... I don't know. Nobody is playing smart defense, our offense has not been particularly inspiring, and our shot selection has been horrible. Everyone from RoCo to KAT and everyone else is just jacking up ******** shots. If we aren't getting bodied by the opposing team's superstar, we are making random bench players look like all-stars.

I think part of the problem is there isn't a big swingin dick out there right now. Often, someone... Usually KAT but sometimes Roco or Wigs, is playing like they're an alpha and like they're a bad ************, and everyone feeds off of that. Right now they all look ****ing neutered.

Neither Wiggins or KAT have been particularly impactful, and I hate to say it, but right now Kat looks only looks like a run of the mill franchise player the last few weeks. Hasn't been good on defense, hasn't been particularly impactful or present in the paint, hasn't had great shot selection. Feels like if he's not dominating from 3 he's really not much more than an average center right now. And I know he's filling the stat sheet and I know I'm gonna get about 5 comments saying some ******** about how Teague and co can't get him the ball. I get it bro, we are all watching TWolves basketball, you're not seeing anything the rest of us also don't notice. Taking that into consideration, I still maintain what I said. Lately, when I watch KAT, it doesn't feel like I'm watching one of the transcendent players in the league.

You go watch Giannis or Embiid or AD or even old KAT games and come back and tell me KAT of the last few weeks can do the same thing. You watch those guys, and they can go out and dominate both ends for 32+ minutes. Right now it feels like KAT can do about 15. We're trynna build around KAT but it feels like he's been basically relegated (both through his own actions and through scheme) to a glorified 7 ft sniper, when we all know he's a monster in the paint and can be an above average rim protector.

Obviously there's plenty of blame to go around, I mean for the most part the last few weeks, Okogie, Culver, Teague, Dieng and everyone else have been putrid on offense. But the buck stops with Andrew and particularly KAT. Neither of them are playing dominant basketball right now.


Gobert is the best player while Donovan is the leader and heart of the team.


Had to watch the Jazz stream tonight and they had a comment about how a lot of our guys take shots just to take them because they haven't gotten the ball in a while instead of moving the ball, and that ends up messing up our offense... Combine that with KAT not getting the ball in good spots/not making the effort and the offense looks so bad for stretches


When was the last time morale was this low? Am I being dramatic or is this the worst we’ve been since we first drafted Karl?


This game had me thinking if we had a Quin Snyder we'd be good-to-great team too. The takes on our roster being trash are so overblown. This Utah team couldn't hit the broadside of a barn, yet they just put 120 on us. Everything starts with defense, and we have a ton of capable defenders ourselves. This is the NBA, it's an effort league. It's time to start questioning Saunders. From 10-8 to this is unacceptable.


I should be given a Tax Rebate for being a MN sports fan


Can we form an alliance with the Knicks or something? I need someone to hold me while I cry


Forgot we played tonight and it looks like I didn't miss anything.


I'm so hyped for the national televised slaughter that will be held Friday.


Rudy’s jacket lol
 
Some real gems in there. Probably the best fan posts yet this year.
How would KAT look next to gobert?

Culture is such an important aspect to NBA teams. Can you imagine what this same roster would be like in San Antonio or Miami? The best thing Quinn has ever done is reset the culture after the Ty Corbin years. Seemed like Minnesota had finally flipped that switch the year they made the playoffs, but then everything imploded with Butler and Thibs and they are back to loser ways.

 
As much as I want to enjoy this we were saying a lot of the same things a couple of days ago. The comment of it being an effort league rings true. We gave it a great effort last night and I really hope it continues. It's sooooo much better to be on this side of the comments.
 
Quinn Snyder will use suits as his flesh puppet. Let’s see what bizarre lineups the Wolves can use to inadvertently tank away the season.
Somebody will have to explain this one to me.

Lmao at everyone who thought this would be a good year after we started hot but I knew they were the same old wolves
Minnesota Shad.
 
Wolves offense encounters a lot of the same problems the Jazz offense encounters. In different ways

The Jazz offense struggles when they go four out single high screen. It promotes a lot midrange shots and little ball movement because the defensive center sinks to protect the rim on Gobert and nobody on the perimeter moves.

The Wolves offense struggles when they just run that five out offense because it promotes chucking and has allowed KAT to settle for threes and become complacent instead of aggressive.
