Minnesota Timberwolves

With just two days away before the commencement of the 2015 NBA Draft, it seems like the Timberwolves, who’ll be selecting first overall, have already decided among the various and very talented prospects available for picking. And to no one’s surprise, the Timberwolves have ‘guaranteed’ Karl-Anthony Towns of Kentucky that he will be going first [...]

Hopefully Jahlil Okafor is high on the Minnesota Timberwolves, because they’re high on him. As the NBA inches closer and closer to the June 25 draft, there is no definitive sense of who the Timberwolves will take with the No. 1 pick. Kentucky’s Karl-Anthony Towns has gained momentum as the top prospect in this year’s [...]

As most predicted, the NBA’s rookie of the year is going to be Minnesota Timberwolves swingman Andrew Wiggins. An officially announcement will be made on Thursday, according to various league sources. Wiggins played the entire 82 games this season and averaged 16.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 36 minutes per contest.

Pat yourself on the back. Do the self-five. Pound your chest. Hell, play some pocket billiards if you’re into that sort of thing. You deserve it. Because the 2014-15 NBA regular season is over. And you made it. Now it’s off to the playoffs, which begin Saturday. And thank heavens for the brief respite in [...]

Not many players can effortlessly dunk over seven-foot centers. But Wolves’ rookie Andrew Wiggins, who has proven to the entire basketball world that he is the real deal. Wiggins is also very likely to win this year’s rookie of the year award. He can score at will and clearly loves attacking the rim to dunk [...]

Oh, look, it’s the Spurs. The time-biding, age-shirking, logic-looting, championship-chasing, demonstratively dynastic Spurs. Remember when we were worried about them? Yeah, me neither. Yours truly was never worried about them. Yes, I’m patting my self on the back. A few bold blockheads thought they were done. Believed they were finally too old. Could see injuries [...]

It’s almost time for us to say goodbye to another year of NBA Power Rankings. The NBA’s regular season is winding down, which means we’re nearing a point of farewell. Never fear, though, because that point isn’t here just yet. We still have the playoff race and, equally important, the MVP chase—or, as it’s now become, [...]

Need a reminder of just how irretrievably crappy the New York Knicks are this season. Okay, here it comes. Per Bleacher Report’s Adam Fromal: [tweet https://twitter.com/fromal09/status/582648483322048512] Holy. Freaking. Shit. Entering Monday night, the Knicks are a very Knicks-ian 14-60. James Harden and Stephen Curry are the league’s top-two win-share accumulators; they each have more than [...]

Good lord, the NBA playoff picture is a mess. Last week’s power rankings aren’t irrelevant, but they kind of are. The top- and bottom-most teams tend to stay put, but it’s the other 20 or so teams sandwiched in-between them that keep moving up and down, then up, then down, the ladder. In the Western Conference, [...]

Fuhgettabout March Madness. The NBA playoffs are almost here. Sure, you could watch college kids, some of them highly touted Association prospects, soak up late-winter, early spring spotlight as they sap 30 seconds off the 35-second shot clock trying to score, only to usually not score, en route to securing or losing a national championship [...]
