For just the second time this season, the Minnesota Timberwolves posted back to back wins. Both Friday against the LA Clippers and Sunday against the New York Knicks, the Minnesota Timberwolves roster walked away with big wins and a confidence boost.
Friday's game against the LA Clippers seemed like a whole new team, from the moment the Timberwolves Roster stepped onto the floor at the Target Center they were in control of the ball an the game. Capitalizing on the Clippers loss to the worst team in the NBA, the Twolves worked the floor and kept the ball moving. The Minnesota Timberwolves beat the LA Clippers 111-97, having a 23 point lead at one point in the game, the highest split the team has seen on the board all season.
Sunday's game at the the Target Center did not start out as well of the Minnesota Timberwolves. The New York Knicks came out swinging and most Timberwolves Fans (myself included) thought it would be a repeat of the embarrassing game the Timberwolves played in Madison Square Garden earlier in the week. However, the Timberwolves took control of the ball and ended up walking away with victory number two of the weekend, posting a final score of 112-91.
This was only the second time in 2009-2010 Minnesota Timberwolves season so far that they have posted back to back wins. With a big break in the schedule this week, hopefully they can turn their back to back into a 3 game winning streak! On a total optimistic note, if the Timberwolves start to win regularly, Minnesota Timberwolves Tickets will go up in price, everyone loves a winning team... I would suggest snagging your Target Center Tickets for home Timberwolves games early if you want to miss the potential price hike!

Minnesota Timberwolves post 3rd win of the season
This Minnesota Timberwolves did not have to wait an entire month for another win, in fact it just took two losses since the last win. The MN Timberwolves roster played the Utah Jazz at the Target Center yesterday. Dressed in throwback vintage jerseys, the Wolves looked like an entirely new team, with energy and stamina that has been lacking all season, the Wolves stepped out looking refreshed and ready to win, and win they did.
The Utah Jazz came out looking like they had no idea who they were playing. Coming off of a four game winning streak, it seemed apparent to anyone in the Target Center last night that the Jazz clearly underestimated the Wolves.
This week the Timberwolves will take on Raptors, the Hornets, the Lakers and the Kings. With just one home game in the middle of the week, fans are hopeful that the 2-2 week the Wolves are coming off of will give the confidence to win on the road. There are still lots of Timberwolves Tickets left for this week's home game on Wednesday. Check back next week for game reviews.

A Timberwolves Win…FINALLY
The Minnesota Timberwolves finally (FINALLY!) snapped their losing streak (10 games in a row to be exact) last night when they beat the Memphis Grizzlies at the Target Center. I breathed a deep sigh of relief because I was seriously starting to believe that this team wasn’t going to win another game this season…sure, I have said that out of anger before, but I was actually starting to believe it. Final Score: Wolves 104 Grizzlies 79
The Grizzlies coach said this:
“…it was the most disappointing game, embarrassing for me as a coach and I hope it was embarrassing for them as a team."
I bet it was embarrassing to lose to the Minnesota Timberwolves – at least I can tell my friends that the Memphis Grizzlies are more pathetic than the Minnesota Timberwolves – misery loves company, right!?!?

Timberwolves Win, No Joke
Just when I thought the Minnesota Timberwolves weren’t going to win another game this season, they pulled off a victory in Miami beating the Miami Heat last night 111-104.
Sebastian Telfair was the star and it’s about time he steps into that role, but I think the real key was successful 3-pointers. I bought some Gopher Basketball tickets a few weeks back and saw the maroon and gold at The Barn. I made note that the Gopher Basketball team may shoot better for 3 pointers than any other team in college basketball right now and I think that is a big component to their success. Then when I saw the Timberwolves turn on the three point charm last night, I thought, hey they might be able to pull this off and they did!
Randy Foye had back to back threes which was a huge team morale booster as well. I say the Twolves should shoot more threes and just be sure to position some guys under the basket for the inevitable rebounds. A new strategy is definitely needed if the Wolves want to win even 5 more games this season, why not shoot for threes every time?

Timberwolves are Undefeated
A text exchange occurred between my Timberwolves buddy and myself this morning, it went like this:
ME: The Timberwolves are undefeated this year.
HIM: April Fools, fool.
ME: No, really they are.
HIM: Whatever.
ME: The Timberwolves have NOT lost a game in 2009, record: 3-0
HIM: Dork.
HIM: But you are right. I can’t believe they have a winning streak.
ME: Let’s hope they win tonight at home. Fans need a win.
HIM: Fans may need more than ONE win.
ME: That would be FOUR in a row.
HIM: That would be cool. GTG.
If took me a few minutes to realize that GTG was “got to go” and not some special code for a Gomes Telfair Gomes pass shoot sequence. Anyway, I was checking out Timberwolves Ticket prices and I see you can get half price tickets to tonight’s game. They have center court seats listed at $69 each and I know the face value of those is $125 each. I wish I could rearrange my night and go, but I will probably watch at home. The Wolves are on FSN tonight. GO WOLVES!

Timberwolves Beat Detroit Pistons
When I woke up and read the paper Monday morning, I was certain that I was dreaming or that the publisher had switched the scores around: Minnesota 106 Detroit 80
Say What? The Minnesota Timberwolves beat the Detroit Pistons, no way! I had written this game off as another loss before it even started, but apparently Allen Iverson in a Pistons uniform isn’t as scary as I had thought. The Timberwolves played great on offense, providing more picks and getting shooters like Randy Foye open. Foye ended the night with 23 points.
Ryan Gomes added a season-high 20 points and my favorite player Al Jefferson 19 points.
The Timberwolves host the Phoenix Suns on this Thanksgiving Eve at 7pm at the Target Center. Sundays win was big, any one think they can win two in a row?
Gotta Believe.

Timberwolves Win…Finally
There is a Timberwolves win to blog about (finally). It has been three weeks since the Timberwolves basketball team was able to put a notch in the win column, but it has felt like forever. Last night at the Target Center, the Minnesota Timberwolves beat the Philadelphia 76ers 102-96
"They were desperate,'' 76ers sixth man Willie Green said. "They had a sense of urgency all game long. They wanted it more than us. It was obvious.''
This Timberwolves fan was desperate two weeks ago, I guess our team is a little behind the fan base. Vikings player Chad Greenway sat Target Center courtside to cheer on friend and fellow South Dakotan Mike Miller. Perhaps Greenway needs to make it to more games, he was the lucky charm. I wish he could be at the Target Center Friday night when the Timberwolves play the Boston Celtics. It's going to be a tough game to watch.

Wolves get first winning week, Jefferson honored
The Minnesota Timberwolves might be learning how to win as a team almost 50 games into the season, but its better late than never...unless you are worried about the draft.
The Timberwolves had their first winning week of the season when they beat Golden State, Phoenix Suns and New Jersey Nets while losing to Boston Celtics in last weeks matchups. Now the Wolves will take on the Chicago Bulls and Clippers in upcoming games.
During the three out of four stretch, Al Jefferson averaged 28.8 points, 12.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.3 steals per game, good enough to earn Western Conference Player of the Week. It was Jefferson’s second time winning a Player of the Week award, and his first time with the Timberwolves. Now if the Timberwolves can win a few games on this upcoming homestand, they will ensure avoiding the worst 82-game season record. The Timberwolves are starting to beat teams, get your Minnesota Timberwolves tickets now.

Timberwolves winning steak, 60 point swing
Basketball is a strange game. It seems like only yesterday when I was leaving the Target Center at half time because my Minnesota Timberwolves were down by forty. Actually, that was three years ago or so when I had half season tickets. The Wolves were a good team then. They were competitive. Now days, the Wolves aren’t considered competitive, especially if you take a peek at their gruesome record.
But this years’ Timberwolves did something spectacular on Wednesday night. They opened up their own huge lead on the Phoenix Suns, 60-39 to be exact. I’m stunned by the fact that this years’ team can push around the Suns when the Keving Garnett era Wolves couldn’t muster a fight. This is a 60-point swing. I guess one could chalk it up to the inconsistency of the Phoenix Suns this season and in seasons past, but I would rather jut enjoy it and celebrate the Minnesota Timberwolves winning streak!

Timberwolves win on road, have another chance at winning streak
The biggest news in Timberwolves land is that the team won Monday afternoon. On the road. Truly, this is a rare occurrence this season. The Minnesota Timberwolves earned only their second road victory this season in a matchup with the Golden State Warriors. It was hard fought, well-deserved and a long time in the coming. The Wolves beat the Warriors 109-108.
Ryan Gomes stepped into a leadership role that could bode greater activity from the gifted young scorer. He scored 35 points on 11-15 shooting from the field and 11-12 shooting from the line. I think Gomes has to keep shooting while not worrying if he is off the mark for stretches at a time. He has more of a scorer’s body than Rashad McCants, and I would rather see Gomes shooting than McCants. Al Jefferson also contributed big down the stretch, scoring 15 of his 21 points in the second half. The Timberwolves host the Phoenix Suns at the Target Center tonight and go for that elusive winning streak yet again. Cheap Timberwolves tickets are everywhere. It’s a perfect time to see a Timberwolves game.

Timberwolves beat Miami Heat
I was disappointed that Shaquille O'Neal wasn’t at the Target Center with his Miami Heat team, but I am also thankful since the Timberwolves managed to pull off their fifth win of the season beating the Heat 101-91. The Wolves tried to lose it in the fourth quarter (remember my quarter joke? It keeps resonating over and over), but managed a win. I hope there is a few more wins in the Timberwolves season, I am not greedy, just a few.
