Covering the NBA for a long time, and it’s been a good time.

It’s only been 3 games but the way the Wolves have completely overwhelmed and dominated Miami, Orlando, and Toronto is truly impressive. The sky is the limit. 3-0 with wins by 25, 22, and 23.

Scottie Barnes scored 51 points in the Raptors first two wins. The Wolves held him scoreless tonight on 0-12.

“This has been one of the most impressive starts to a season I can ever remember the Minnesota Timberwolves having,” says @JimPeteHoops. I couldn’t agree more. They look LOCKED in. It doesn’t look like a new group trying to mesh at all. They look cohesive, sharp, and connected.

Wolves are doing work once again, absolutely taking it to the Raptors in the home opener. They’d be up 30+ easily without all the turnovers. This team is vibing out of the gates.

Grab your popcorn, it’s LaMelo to Joan.

Did the Wolves unlock Jonathan Kuminga’s three ball? He’s 7 for 11 to begin the season.

[John Meyer @meyerNBA]

Really nice first half by Terrence Shannon Jr. off the bench to help deal with the LaMelo foul trouble. 12 points in 13 minutes on 4-4 FG, 2-3 FT. The TSJ scoring punch is huge for the second unit.

Rebounding was a big question mark entering the season, so it’s extremely encouraging to see the Wolves control the glass. 52-34 advantage in game 1, with 17 offensive rebounds. Then 60-43 in game two with 21 more orebounds. Gang rebounding! 2-0. +35 REBS. +47 point differential.

Beringer has 7 offensive rebounds tonight in Orlando and 11 orebs through his first 7 quarters of the season. He is nonstop effort on the glass.

[John Meyer @meyerNBA]

Joan Beringer is relentless on the offensive glass. It’s probably his best skill right now, along with running the floor like a gazelle.

[John Meyer @meyerNBA]

It feels like every Wolf understands their role, which is a wonderful place to be in the second game of the season.

[John Meyer @meyerNBA]

Oh, yeah, that’s the good stuff, Joan Beringer

[John Meyer @meyerNBA]

Everything is going right for the Wolves and they are pouring it on the Magic. An absolute full squad effort.

I mean seriously HOW FUN IS THIS WOLVES TEAM!

[John Meyer @meyerNBA]

Ant is shooting 2-13 and yet the Wolves are up 12 at the break because they’re getting a lot out of everyone else. There’s a strong cohesiveness.

[John Meyer @meyerNBA]

Ayo Dosunmu is playing like a 6MOY

[John Meyer @meyerNBA]

Kuminga is picking up where he left off in the opener, doing a lot of positive stuff in his first stint tonight. Nailed two triples, two dimes, three boards, active plus defense! His play is crucial to this season and JK looks sharp.

[John Meyer @meyerNBA]

LaMelo: “I gotta give him a call right now, cuz with the family he know what he supposed to do. Even if I’m wrong, I’m right.”
