Should I go on a tweetstorm replying to all the scrooges in the replies?
If “All I Want For Christmas Is You” hits No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 again this year, Mariah Carey will tie—and may eventually break—the all-time record for most weeks atop the chart.

The Timberwolves came into the year saying they wanted to vary how they attacked in late-game situations. There was none Monday. That and other musings on two straight calamities from a team that looks like it forgot how to win: www.startribune.com/minnesota-ti...

You’re not delusional! This is a perfectly fine opinion to have. I do think, however, that the last two games are a sign this team hasn’t learned anything about closing games/clutch games/how to win.
Am I delusional in thinking that there’s still a long ways to go and everything will be worked out by the playoffs? A couple of bad games in a row I don’t feel is indicative of how the rest of the season will go.

Newsletter is about to go out and a disclaimer that it has to be done Mondays, so couldn’t have seen another crushing loss coming. You’re getting a nice story on Jaylen Clark as the lede. Maybe it’ll cheer y’all up.

Looking back over other parts of the game, Clark should always be on the floor when Gobert is out. That should be automatic moving forward.
Also, if you want this team to win, he's gonna have to play more minutes over Shannon and Dillingham now. Say goodbye to a 10-man rotation

What if Chris Finch used all his timeouts by 8:30 left in the 4th quarter? Elon's servers wouldn't be able to handle it.

Conley did it again. Definitely has upped the usage of the Conley of late.

NBA stats tell us Julius Randle has 10 drives in this game with an average speed 9.99 MPH on those drives. Not sure what that means but seems fun!

Doesn't appear the Wolves wanna be serious for more than 2 minutes at a time in this one.

Finch going small here with Reid at the 5, no Randle or Gobert. Shannon-Clark-Ant-Conley. Without looking, this has to be the first time this lineup has been rolled out.

Shannon back in the rotation as he makes his return. Checks in at the 5:05 mark.

Almost as many turnovers for the Timberwolves so far as Brock Purdy.

Re: timeouts -- recall Finch used one of his remaining 2 timeouts when Randle was fighting for a loose ball at just under 2 minutes. That timeout resulted in a McDaniels bucket. The Wolves had just 1 left from there.

Already thinking about what McDaniels will do if the Wolves are ahead in the final seconds with the ball. Margin of victory matters!

Death. Taxes. Anthony Edwards scorching the Phoenix Suns.
Last season Phoenix was a get right game at various points in the season for the Wolves. Looks like the Suns are a get right game for Ant tonight.

The Dillon Brooks factor appears to have (finally) lit a fire under the Wolves.

A pulse, via a 6-0 run with Dillingham getting a steal and a jumper to fall just before the timeout.
