Anthony Edwards’ first bucket as an NBA All-Star is a breakaway dunk

Naz Reid is the epitome of the #Timberwolves franchise’s resurgence over the last half-decade. Whether that’s helping them run to the finals for the first time in history or an early playoff exit is up to him, writes @ThePhilFord: zonecoverage.com/2026/timberwol…

“Ok now the 65-game rule for postseason awards seems kind of fucked up.”

I should be at the club but instead I’m watching SICARIO because it’s CR Month

The #Timberwolves can weather Julius Randle’s struggles on a game-to-game basis. However, to reach the finals for the first time in franchise history, Randle will need to be playing the best basketball of his life, argues @thephilford: zonecoverage.com/2026/timberwol…

Mike Conley already had a diminished role before the trade deadline musical chairs. @ThePhilFord looks at why the #Timberwolves brought back the veteran point guard: zonecoverage.com/2026/timberwol…
