Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

This is not Trump being stupid, tho Trump is a very stupid person. This is not Trump being played, tho Trump is one of the most easily manipulated people who’s ever lived. No, the truth is scarier. This is Trump working for & siding with Putin. This is Trump, the Russian asset.
Trump: "Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed. It sounds a little strange but President Putin was very generous in his feeling toward Ukraine succeeding, including supplying energy, electricity and other things at very low prices."

I’m sure there is, but is there another team in the NBA with variance of the high of where this Timberwolves team could go this year and the low they could fall to and how frustrating it can be?
Toe to toe with Thunder, Knicks, Nuggets (probably should have won all going away facing injuries)…

Timberwolves probably have a pretty good defensive rating for game if it ends with 3 minutes left. Instead give up 27 (108 pace for a quarter 😂) in those final 3. Melt. Down.
Coal in our stocking to end the day. Not enough support outside of a Jaden flourish for a bit.

Timberwolves gave up 9 point lead in final 3 minutes of OT. Lack of focus allowed Scott Foster to be awful in end and give Nuggets all those free throws. Too bad it ends like that. Finchy post game should be cool.
Or short and just get out of there.

Wolves were pulling away in 1st, so NBA refs had to put a stop to that real quick. Now tied. Lol
Welp
These first two NBA games have been PHYSICAL. Hoping the loose whistle holds through tonight

We had to watch Tony Brothers in person last week. And now we have Scott Foster on Christmas night. NBA punishing Timberwolves fans for some reason.

Ant has 34 which is awesome.
Has given Knicks 6 back late in 3rd by ball watching while on defense, and his guy gets easy catch and shoot on pass away. Timberwolves have to be better in tight games to not give away points like that. Especially against good teams.

Knicks making the extra effort on offensive glass now. Know the Timberwolves won’t punish them by getting out and playing more quickly. Finchy needs to get in their ear again about it. Can’t let Robinson take over as he can on that end after stops.

Thunder have been there all night to be had. Timberwolves missed free throws and rim shyness led us to this point

Jaden is not confident right now. Dang. 2-3’ bunny near the rim and turns it over passing out.

Dillingham undaunted by his aggressive misses is a net good thing, I think, because he kept his head in the game for the defense and that dime

Courtney Kirkland is not having a good night with the whistle. Timberwolves somehow overcoming stripes’ incompetence.
Crowd into it. Lead with 6 minutes to go. Naz and Rob heads down and playing through it. Desperately needed.

Wolves need Jaden and Julius to show up in 4th. Two straight games of mediocre play. Would be nice for them to help finish this one positively.

That is such an easy no call on Bones. Defensive position. Refs bail thunder out.
