Britt Robson/On The Ball on the team’s loss to the Lakers:
During a Wolves’ timeout in the second quarter, Gerald Green spent the
entire time well removed from the circular huddle, where, you know, he
might glean some information that would improve on his reputation for
not knowing where to go in the offensive and defensive sets. Instead
Green was conversing with the injured Ratliff near the end of the bench.

Jonathan Kaminsky/City Pages on Tuesday’s game:
Trumping all this, though, was the team’s sad display of defense. There
was really no one interested in playing it. And that, more than
anything, is what made this game so frustrating to watch.
Basketbawful on the game:
When the Timberwolves look back on this game, assuming they have the heart to do so, they’ll realize a few disturbing facts. First, Sebastian Telfair — 16 points (6-13), 2 rebounds, 3 assists — was their top performer. Second, Mark Madsen and Michael Doleac both made token appearances, combining for zero points on zero shot attempts in 19 minutes of “action.” And third, Trevor Ariza played almost as many minutes (26) for the Lakers as Kobe Bryant (28). In a way, it’s kind of amazing that this team has even won two games so far this season.
Asked if the Wolves’ current mental state is because of the cumulative effect of losing, Telfair nodded his head affirmatively.
“It’s within us,” he said, “all within us.”

Dahl tested a vinyl lunchbox given away at a Minnesota Timberwolves

made of PVC, and the lead level was 1,469 parts per million, far above
the 40 parts per million recommended as a threshold by the American
Academy of Pediatrics.
