Me looking back through the national media’s Timberwolves/Nuggets series predictions to see who picked Minnesota to win.

@Tallsdurf We need an exorcist

[Rob Perez @WorldWideWob]

Ok i looked it all up.

The most epic Nuggets vs. Timberwolves games’ end times in the ~last calendar year:

Last Night: 1:35 AM ET
2025 Christmas Night: 2:22 AM ET (!!!)
2025 Double OT Game: 2:24 AM ET (!!!)

Now think about Africa/Europe time zones as well as ET/CT, and how many are unable to watch them live because of how late these start.

This rivalry, and these games, would single-handedly change people’s minds about the NBA, but the 9-5 crowd likely doesn’t feel the emotion of them in real-time.

For those that did watch: what a night. Again. Game 10 tips off 30 minutes earlier on Thursday night!

@canishoopus That’s at least 3 ft too close

[Derek Thompson @DKThomp]

Even if you take the conservative defense of each ICE killing, you’re left with “We haphazardly scaled up a poorly trained police force to storm into neighborhoods that voted against the president, where we antagonize the local population until someone resists arrest, and then we kill them,” which is morally horrendous on top of being an absurd way to do immigration policy.

[Andrea R. Flores @Arosaflores]

President Trump could deescalate this situation right now by directing his federal police force to leave the city. There is no immigration enforcement reason for thousands of officers to remain in Minneapolis. This is political retaliation by a President against his own citizens.

[Nathan @Mannebach]

@JonKrawczynski Incredible start. A little baby deer energy but in a great way.

[Thomas Sullivan @Yfz84]

Nobody cares if a player gets to the line legitimately. Giannis can have 25 free throws against us because we can’t stop him without hacking. The problem is when someone isn’t fouled and gets to the line

[adidas Basketball @adidasHoops]

Believe That.

[Nathan @Mannebach]

@LakeShowYo What’s crazy is the Wolves objectively have a better chance of getting better from here than the Lakers do.

[Jon Krawczynski @JonKrawczynski]

Ant on if there’s a preferred matchup: “Don’t give a damn. We ready.”

[Nathan @Mannebach]

@MWMikeSports You said something similar last night about line being up? What does that mean? How do you know it’s a good play before the line is up? Just trying to understand the tout business.

[Gary Browning @GaryBro345]

Just checked my record since I started posting plays for free on X. Sitting uncomfortably at 4-5-1. Not good for anyone except the haters. I will turn this around.

@ontheprowl_MN Well shit. That does make sense then.

[Nathan @Mannebach]

@GaryBro345 Don’t feel like this is a flex when you’re giving worse numbers than you’re getting

[Nathan @Mannebach]

@JonKrawczynski I’m skeptical but willing to hope.
