Minnesota Timberwolves suffer embarassing loss against the Suns

The Minnesota Timberwolves have not had a great season, no one would think they had. However, last night's game against the Phoenix Suns was embarrassing, terrible and gave me good reason to give up being a Minnesota Timberwolves game.

The Phoenix Suns beat the Minnesota Timberwovlves 114-152. The Suns took control of the game early in the 1st quarter and never gave it up. In fact the Timberwolves gave up the second highest amount of points in a single half, letting the Suns score 79 points before the half.

Last night's Minnesota Timberwolves game was only game 2 of a hard 4 game road trip... If the Minnesota Timbewolves don't manage to salvage any of the rest of this season they can kiss signing anyone with real talent next season... who is going to want to play for us?

Minnesota Timberwolves have rare Road-Win

The Minnesota Timberwolves accomplished a rare feat last night... a ROAD-WIN. The Timberwolves traveled to the American Airlines Arena last night to take on the Miami Heat and for once they actually showed up to play.

Who knows if it was just the heat in Miami that thawed out the Minnesota Timberwolves Roster or if they are finally just sick of sucking, either way the Twolves beat the Heat 91-88 and despite the close score, the Timberwolves dominated the court for most of the game. The Heat played sloppy, unenergetic basketball and the Timberwolves Roster capitalized on it. With Timberwolves newcomer Darko Milicic playing a great game and Love, Jefferson, Milicic trio really found their rhythm. Timberwolves rookie Jonny Flynn had an on-night making the Timberwolves Offense a force to be reckoned with.

Tonight the Timberwolves play in Atlanta, before heading to Oklahoma City to finish their road trip. Saturday the Minnesota Timberwolves play at home in the Target Center.

The Minnesota Timberwolves Have A Rough Road Trip

Last week the Minnesota Timberwolves spent a rough week on the road. With 3 games in 3 cities in 5 days, the Minnesota Timberwolves roster was ragged and tired. Kurt Rambis, Minnesota Timberwolves Head Coach seemed to having nothing but growing frustration for his team...

On Monday (Jan 11th) the Minnesota Timberwolves took on the Denver Nuggets. Clearly the thin air in the mile-high city got to the Twolves roster because none of them played like they wanted to be there. With a final score of 105-94 Nuggets, the Minnesota Timberwolves accepted defeat and moved on

Wednesday (Jan 13th) the Timberwolves and rookie Jonny Flynn traveled to Houston to play the Rockets. The Timberwolves Rockets game had only a six point spread with a Rockets 120-114 victory.

Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies was probably the worst of the road-trip. A defeated, sluggish and basically non-present Timberwolves went to Memphis to let the Grizzlies trample them 135-110, though the score was honestly closer than the game really ever looked. The Grizzlies Timberwolves game made it seem like the Timberwolves roster never really got off of the plane...

With a home series next week, Minnesota Timberwolves head coach Kurt Rambis is hopeful that at week at home will do his players right.

There are still great Minnesota Timberwolves Tickets out there for both the Timberwolves Road Games and the home games at Target Center. Let's go Timberwolves!!

Timberwolves lose again. And again. And Again.

There is still no good news from the Minnesota Timberwolves to blog about. Last Thursday, I posted the scores from the first three games of November and they were all LOSSES. This Thursday, as I am checking back in, I have to report three more losing scores. This has been a tough start to the new season for the Minnesota Timberwolves.

On Saturday, the Timberwolves return home (thankfully?) to the Target Center Minneapolis and host the Portland Trailblazers. Timberwolves Tickets for this game are more expensive than I think they should be (then again, I think they should be free). The Timberwolves are 1-6 and Portland Trail Blazers are 5-3 and they beat us last week - you do the math. Do you think fans are going to rush out to the Target Center to see this flimsy Wolves team? Not until they show us they know how to win.

I hope there is better news to report next week.
