Oh god it’s on Randle to keep them out of the 7th seed

MarduRusher | Timberwolves

93 | 13 hours ago

Maybe this is copium, but I actually have some confidence that being forced to be the 1st option can help Randle get out of his slump.

SnarfSniffsStardust | Timberwolves

I think since he gets the ball more he’ll actually try on defense

NounAdjective

-14 | 13 hours ago

the thing is randle isn’t in a slump. we saw that in his last game played where he carried the first half of our last game

he just doesn’t care. maybe he hates the fans, i don’t know. but last game he showed he can play really well and carry a team and just decided to say “see? now fuck you” and threw the rest of the game

MarduRusher | Timberwolves

24 | 13 hours ago

I’m not sure about that one. I generally don’t ascribe intention to bad play unless it’s really obvious, and I don’t think it is here. Maybe defensively, but that isn’t really new. Offensively I just think it’s a bad stretch.

He’s been battling a few injuries, but has said he’s committed to playing all 82 games.

The bigger slump is Jaden McDaniels. He’s been terrible since the ASB on both ends.

Hoping this gives guys a chance to shake off the funk, maybe some young guys step up and show out.

YpsitheFlintsider

No, that’s just how he is as a player.

pagny77 | Timberwolves

5 | 11 hours ago

3rd seed Lakers beating 6th seeded suns and then 7th seeded clippers (yes I think clippers beat wolves in playin1 if kawhi is healthy) after they beat spurs would be the most unexpected route to the WCF. And if thunder are doing wolves round 1 and nuggets round 2, they’ll be so exhausted and banged up that lakers might go the whole way

gratitudeisbs | Lakers

3 | 10 hours ago

My dream scenario lol

JoeBiden2020FTW | Lakers

I’d have the Spurs as heavy favorites over the Clippers IMO

I feel like the Warriors with healthy Curry+Porzingis are a bigger threat to the Spurs.

The1Drumheller | Thunder

Not an easy 1-2 weeks for the Wolves. Next game against the Suns then Jazz (b2b), Blazers, Celtics, and Rockets on the 25th.

Very easily could find themselves in the playin as a 7-8 seed.

nbranto | Timberwolves

See you in the first round

Ant did not look healthy in the 2nd half of our game at all. Hope it turns out to be nothing serious. Ant is so much fun to watch.

Yeah hes been off for awhile, this is almost a good thing because it forces him to take a break

dys0n_giddey | Timberwolves

Yeah, he was banged up before the All-Star break, so I kinda like him time to get right, probably should have happened earlier tho

notafan1 | Timberwolves

4 | 13 hours ago

IDK bout that.

Current Wolves would be a ideal test for a great young team looking to prove themselves. Good enough that they should be a challenge but flawed enough that a contending team should beat them a majority of times.

IMO it’s worse for young contending teams to face a weak 1st round opponent because it doesn’t battle test them.

pagny77 | Timberwolves

3 | 11 hours ago

Wolves and clippers are probably your two worst matchups out of everyone in the west, and probably the worst matchups for thunder too, so its gunna be interesting if theyre the ⁷⁄₈ playin team

JustdoitJules | Nuggets

1 | 13 hours ago

Idk if its a respect thing or lil bro situation but any way you slice it for Vic its going to be a pain in the ass for him to have to deal with Julius, Jaden, Naz and older more experienced “bro” Rudy.

Its why we got killed in the game 7 game against them.

Eventually they swarmed Jokic to death, granted it was with KAT instead of Rudy but yeah their length is just hell on earth.

Repulsive-Throat5068 | Lakers

yatooooooooooo | Timberwolves

Wouldn’t we have to lose basically all of our remaining games to get the 8 seed?

The1Drumheller | Thunder

9 | 12 hours ago

You have 14 remaining and a 7 game lead over the Clippers in 8th (and 8 games over the 9 and 10 seeds). If Ant is injured for more than the 2 weeks it is possible.

Only games against non-playin or better teams are Jazz (SEGABABA), Mavs, and Pacers, but honestly your April is brutal.

7 games from April 2 to April 12.

For comparison, Clippers have Pelicans x2, Bucks x2, Pacers, Mavs x2, and Kings.

Winnes0ta | Super 8

Literally the worst time for this. I can’t complain too much since our injury luck has generally been good this season, but this is the very worst time for something to happen.

WhyIsBreadExpensive

33 | 13 hours ago

Id argue the worst time would be right at edge/start of the playoffs. At the very least if it’s a manageable injury, ant is gonna be fully rested.

Vicentesteb | Timberwolves

10 | 12 hours ago

There might not be a playoffs for us if Ant doesn’t get healthy soon. We are like right on the edge of being in the play-in. A loss tonight would be really bad.
