Julius and Jaden were absolutely spectacular tonight

I’m sad Ju didn’t get his triple double. Team started missing everything at end.

Naz even tried at very end of game but airballed lol

2020 draft class changed the trajectory of the franchise wow

WillzKillz12 | Timberwolves

8 win in a row where Randle plays, yet some people in the fanbase were acting like Randle isn’t even a top 300 player

mudkip-yoshii | Timberwolves

54 | 3 days ago

Hustle Randle is an entirely different animal

127crazie | Timberwolves

16 | 3 days ago

Attack +50%, accuracy -20%. It’s a decent trade-off for him.

Plants_R_Cool | Timberwolves

26 | 3 days ago

If he can keep playing at this level, I’ll he happy with it. He was pretty ass for a while though and his 3s haven’t really been going in. But as long as he’s working for rebounds and being aggressive, then I’ve got no problem with him.

Him and DDV kinda turned it on at the same time and they’ve both been great. Was worried after all the missed games they would come back rusty.

urkuri | Timberwolves

19 | 3 days ago

All the people here claiming that we would be worse with Randle coming back clearly weren’t watching our games before his injury lol

dys0n_giddey | Timberwolves

5 | 3 days ago

Who was saying that? I didn’t see anyone

goldenboots | Timberwolves

4 | 3 days ago

Loads of non-wolves fans in random threads have been. And a few wolves fans too.

Dig_bickclub | Timberwolves

-2 | 3 days ago

The team is literally 20 points better when randle sits in that 8 game stretch. No shot anyone watching those games come away thinking randle helps

ace625 | Timberwolves

In what metric?

Dig_bickclub | Timberwolves

BCP27 | MIN

That’s a very noisy stat.

Dig_bickclub | Timberwolves

1 | 3 days ago

It’s noisy for evaluating players yeah.

I’m just using it to describe what has happened in the games though. Anyone watching the game should have seen the wolves pulling away only when randle sat on the bench since thats literally what happened in the games.

BCP27 | MIN

1 | 3 days ago

That’s fair! I just wanted to make sure that was noted.

jademadegreensuede | Timberwolves

3 | 3 days ago

He’s working his ass off. Whether or not his shots go down (they are, currently) I’ll always root for somebody who’s working their ass off

Scrypto | Hornets

35 | 3 days ago

Glad we get to take a break from criticizing our offense to criticize our defense. What the hell was that

NotManyBuses | Charlotte Bobcats

15 | 3 days ago

Our defensive improvement was always built on mucking up games in garbage time. We’re food on both ends

Sharcbait | Timberwolves

13 | 3 days ago

Our announcer kept talking about how the Hornets had such terrible shot selection, he has been with the team for like 20 years, he has seen some terrible shot selection in his career and it still stood out to him.

I don’t even know what to change at this point other than to dump Melo, Williams and Bridges and just go all in on Brandon Miller. Idk sorry Hornets bros.

gargoyleboy69 | Bulls

31 | 3 days ago

I love watching Ant and LaMelo play each other because it always reminds me that franchise you get drafted to can be the biggest impact of how your career goes. It’s a shame having to watch two talented players while knowing one is rotting away in basketball purgatory.

AlligatorPoontang | Timberwolves

44 | 3 days ago

Funny looking back how their first year consensus was the opposite on who’s stuck in basketball purgatory

Beneficial-Rub9090 | Timberwolves

Let’s goooo! This place doesn’t fucking suck anymore!!!

Shingorillaz | Timberwolves

13 | 3 days ago

What being a competent franchise for 5 straight years can do for your public perception

edgykitty | Ant/Szczerbiak

31 | 3 days ago

People largely said that about us prior to Ant too though

NazRiedFan | Timberwolves

21 | 3 days ago

It’s weird to not be the horrible franchise in these comparisons

jdombs | Timberwolves

7 | 3 days ago

Totally. LaMelo has all the talent in the world but is playing such an ugly brand of basketball right now. If he ever gets some real coaching he will be a problem. I’m rooting for him

Sharcbait | Timberwolves

11 | 3 days ago

He’s on his 3rd coach and each year they seem to get worse and worse.

At a certain point, it’s the players on the court (and the players not on the court, the Hornets have some awful injury record over the last 5 years)

I think Melo is always going to be this guy unless he gets traded and has to rework his game to fit into a new team like Wolves Wiggins did. The thing is who wants to trade for him that would actually help fix him? Miami maybe?

Usual-Emotion8610 | Timberwolves

6 | 3 days ago

KAT really seemed to come into his own when he had some stability in coaching and team. Lamelo has had a lot of chaos in his first couple years. Could still put it together.

Easy-Philosopher-562 | Timberwolves

2 | 3 days ago

If Ant was on the Hornets they’d be making the playoffs instead of fighting for the 5th pick every year.

He’s just a better player than Lamelo. It’s crazy they’re still even compared.

Winnes0ta | Super 8

2 | 3 days ago

Yeah people are acting like the wolves just happened to get better and more competent when Ant got here like he wasn’t the driving force behind that

nowahhh | Timberwolves

25 | 3 days ago

I gotta feel for Randle lmao

Carnage7771 | Timberwolves

23 | 3 days ago

Jmac looking better and better.

_iiisaac_ | Hornets

13 | 3 days ago

At least we scored more than 100 this time

ChillFax | Timberwolves

17 | 3 days ago

Out of curiosity how does hornets nation feel about Ball? I rarely get to watch him so tough to make a reasonable judgement. From the few games I watch I wish he would drive more with his size and handle.

NotManyBuses | Charlotte Bobcats

13 | 3 days ago

He gets absolutely murdered and has arguably the worst whistle in the league, we’re 30 games below .500, so he just doesn’t care enough to do it

Morezingis | Timberwolves

14 | 3 days ago

I feel like he clearly has the talent to be a top 15 player, but when the team around him is THIS bad, he has zero motivation to try.

NotManyBuses | Charlotte Bobcats

11 | 3 days ago

He was awful tonight when he wasn’t on the floor with Miles and Mark.

He just hates playing with our bums and getting all the physical defense every play, I think the tanking is getting to him

ChillFax | Timberwolves

5 | 3 days ago

How was he playing with Brandon Miller? I really like Millers game and the Hornets definitely look like they nailed that pick. Injury aside

HuruHara | MIN

10 | 3 days ago

Man, Wolves have plenty of scorers now, but who can center the team to make sure the whole team doesn’t breakdown in the 3rd and 4th ?

Minnesota Mike was it but he is getting older and should be playing sparingly. We had Slomo last time as well. Rob ? Donte ?

Usual-Emotion8610 | Timberwolves

8 | 3 days ago

Great game from Jaden. Enough sample size to say his offensive bump is probably real. Also, Hornets broadcast is probably one of the most enjoyable to watch. They get hyped for plays from both teams. Awesome crew.

WagerWilly

3 | 3 days ago

Announcers from bad teams are always the best. That’s why Jim Pete rocks.

Usual-Emotion8610 | Timberwolves

1 | 3 days ago

Probably right. I’m a Jim Pete diehard fan but as we’ve gotten better over the past 5 years he has become a pretty big homer.

ImTheBestNerd | San Francisco Warriors

6 | 3 days ago

Why does Jusuf Nurkic ever step onto the court? Diabate and Mark are just infinitely better

Sweatytubesock

1 | 3 days ago

You don’t trade for a player the caliber of Nurk to not play him generous minutes.

rzoneking | Japan

I cant believe Lakers lost to hornets lmao

Chardoggy1 | Hornets

At least the Wizards won

The Minnesota Timberwolves (35-29) defeat the Charlotte Hornets (14-47), 125-110.
