Timberwolves Film Room: Chris Finch’s Offensive Outlook Share this story Brad Mills-USA TODAY Sports At some point, Minnesota Timberwolves President of Basketball Operations Gersson Rosas needed to usher his front office contingent and the entire on-court squad down the fire escape and flee from the inferno that was raging on throughout Ryan Saunders’ tenure as head coach. Of course, Rosas himself was responsible for some of the misplaced kindling, maybe even the sparked match as well, but Rosas was always going to sacrifice his head coach first before voluntarily putting himself on the c...

Three Thoughts on the Timberwolves’ Coaching Change The Timberwolves made a much expected change on the bench, but the way they did it may have surprised some people. Isaiah J. Downing-USA TODAY Sports Share this story I remember lying in bed when the news of Ryan Saunders’ firing broke. “Well, they finally did it,” I thought. No one who was following the Minnesota Timberwolves this season should be surprised Saunders was eventually let go.

Canis Pulsus - Vol. 5 Share this story Just 2 weeks ago, 44% of Canis Hoopus gave Ryan Saunders and his coaching staff a failing grade so it appears that Gers has taken notice of our input.

No matter what happens, every step seems to bring more dread than the last. Even with the caveat that Karl-Anthony Towns’ return from a COVID-19-induced absence is on the horizon, the Wolves have fallen too far behind their Western Conference counterparts to make a serious push at the play-in games or, god forbid, the playoffs...

Warriors 123, Wolves 111: Culture Shock Share this story Photo by Ezra Shaw/Getty Images Stop if you’ve heard this before — the Golden State Warriors outperformed the Minnesota Timberwolves (no, not in a trade or a draft selection — that’s a topic for another day). After falling to the Warriors 130-108 on NBATV Monday night, the Wolves... um... rebounded Wednesday night on ESPN by losing by only 12 points, not 22. While this baseball-style mini series was pegged as must-see TV when the schedule was originally announced back in early December, a lot of the zest was quickly squeezed ou...
