The #Timberwolves have one glaring weakness they must improve if they want to contend for a title. @LastWordHoops @lastwordonsport #LWOS lastwordonsports.com/basketb…

The #Timberwolves have never played eight straight home games. They’re about to, and the record-long homestand comes at a good time as they try to stay within sight of the West leaders without Ant. @LastWordHoops @lastwordonsport #LWOS lastwordonsports.com/basketb…

The #Timberwolves are second in the NBA in rebounding. That was not supposed to happen after trading Julius Randle and Naz Reid to go smaller. @LastWordHoops @lastwordonsport #LWOS lastwordonsports.com/basketb…

The numbers don’t lie: Bones Hyland has raised his game as much as any #Timberwolves player since Anthony Edwards went out. @LastWordHoops @lastwordonsport #LWOS lastwordonsports.com/basketb…

Rudy’s back is acting up so Joan Beringer started and played big minutes vs Wemby and the Spurs. Wemby went off and the Spurs won but there were some positive signs from Joan. #Timberwolves will need him. @LastWordHoops @lastwordonsport #LWOS lastwordonsports.com/basketb…

Anthony Edwards’ injury is obviously a big blow for the #Timberwolves, but all is not lost. They can still compete in the West until he gets back, particularly if these three players step up. @LastWordHoops @lastwordonsport #LWOS lastwordonsports.com/basketb…

The #Timberwolves are undefeated, and this is probably the only piece you will ever read that includes quotes from both Norman Dale and Aaliyah. @LastWordHoops @lastwordonsport #LWOS lastwordonsports.com/basketb…

The Ant-LaMelo combo lived up to the hype and it’s hard to nitpick a 25-point road win… but there were a few areas of concern in the #Timberwolves season opener. @LastWordHoops @lastwordonsport #LWOS lastwordonsports.com/basketb…

The #Timberwolves open the season at 6:30 tonight on ESPN. Tune in for LaMelo-Ant highlights, but also keep an eye on these three things if you want to know how the Wolves season is going to go. lastwordonsports.com/basketb… @LastWordHoops @lastwordonsport #LWOS

The #Timberwolves took big swings with their offseason roster shakeup. That gives them a wider range of possible outcomes than most teams as they start the regular season. @LastWordHoops @lastwordonsport #LWOS lastwordonsports.com/basketb…

The #Timberwolves had a surprise starter last night against the Knicks. lastwordonsports.com/basketb… @LastWordHoops @lastwordonsport #LWOS

Didn’t get to watch the #Timberwolves preseason opener last night (on streamer DAZN)? Don’t worry, I got you. Here’s what you need to know. lastwordonsports.com/basketb… @lastwordonsport @LastWordHoops #LWOS

It’s #WorldMeningitisDay so here’s a reminder that about 10% of people who get bacterial meningitis don’t survive it. And roughly another 20% end up permanently disabled (e.g., vision loss, hearing loss, limb loss, brain damage) #MeningitisAwareness

The #Timberwolves start preseason play Monday at Milwaukee. The games don't count, but there are still plenty of reasons to watch. lastwordonsports.com/basketb… @lastwordonsport @LastWordHoops #LWOS

The #Timberwolves have five players on ESPN's top 100 list, including four in the top 56. Only one team has more. Can you guess which five Wolves made the list? lastwordonsports.com/basketb… @lastwordonsport @LastWordHoops #LWOS

The Twin Turbos are back! But there's a third #Timberwolves reserve who can also play at breakneck speed. So... "Triple Turbos"? Anyone got a better idea? @lastwordonsport @LastWordHoops #LWOS lastwordonsports.com/basketb…

The #Timberwolves need Trey Lyles to be a power forward who can come off the bench and spread the floor, play solid defense and rebound reliably. The stats from his year in Europe show that he’s capable of doing that - and coming through in the clutch. lastwordonsports.com/basketb…

The #Timberwolves drafted Trey #Kaufman-Renn a couple months ago, yet now it looks like he’s going to go back and play another season of college ball. Here’s why that highly unusual decision works out great for both him and the Wolves. lastwordonsports.com/basketb…

Hardly anyone lists the Minnesota #Timberwolves as the NBA team they dislike the most. That's not a good thing. lastwordonsports.com/basketb…

If #LaMelo Ball was known as a durable player, a lighthearted video that includes him skipping a calf workout would be no big deal. But that’s not his reputation. #Timberwolves lastwordonsports.com/basketb…
