I’m not here to recap the games. You could read about it elsewhere.
What I’m here to do, and what I’ll be doing for every game, is document your reactions—yes, you Timberwolves fans!—-during the game and after the game.
I may chime in as well if there’s anything more to be said, but my thoughts on the game are, for the most part, the same as yours.
You may be wondering, “Why am I doing this?” Here’s the reason, and it’s pretty straightforward when you think about it: I want to represent your voices, Timberwolves fans, as often as I can, in each of my posts.
I don’t care if you have two likes or one retweet—or none at all! If you had something to say, be it observations, reflections or, better yet, impulsive reactions, I’ll be looking your thoughts.
So with that said, and I’ve said enough already, let’s get to your reactions!
During The Game…

Thibs not interested in moral victories. Bemoaned the lack of intensity in the first half that dug the big hole.

Timberwolves Blogosphere:
Takeaways
1) Miserable 1st half
2) Fun 2nd half
3) Houston fell asleep
4) Gorgui provided spark
5) As did DRose – 14pts (6/10 FG)
6) Bjelica did a little of everything
7) Harden showed why he's the MVP
8) Schedule of death concluded— On The Prowl (@ontheprowl_MN) March 19, 2018
Tonight's first half was as bad as it gets, but the second half re-injected hope into the Timberwolves fanbase.

Timberwolves Fans:
Tough loss but we showed a ton of heart & fight. Damn we are in the 8th seed. Good thing the tough part of our schedule is over. We need to go on a 5 game win streak. #AllEyesNorth

I’ve lost all confidence and belief in Thibs. His personnel decisions are confusing. #AllEyesNorth
