About TWolves Blog

TWolves Blog is independent Minnesota Timberwolves coverage. No corporate parent, no network mandate, no layoffs handed down from a boardroom that couldn't find Target Center on a map. Just Wolves basketball, covered by people who care about it.

The story

This site is run by Derek Hanson, who spent years writing about the Timberwolves at Canis Hoopus — the game previews, the deep dives, the long nights after gut-punch losses. When the network gutted its writing staff in 2026, the community that made that site special deserved somewhere to go. So we built it.

TWolves Blog is what we always wanted a Wolves site to be: sharp previews before every game, honest recaps after, analysis that respects your intelligence, a daily news brief that saves you an hour of scrolling, and Wolvespedia — a living encyclopedia of the players, games, and moments that made this franchise ours.

What we publish

Game previews before every game that matters, in the style our readers have followed for years. Recaps the morning after. Analysis when the roster, the cap sheet, or the rotation demands it. Power rankings through a Wolves lens. And The Daily Howl — the morning brief with the Wolves stories, tweets, and threads worth your time.

The comments

A comments section worth living in is the whole point. Game threads, recs, real conversation — the way great team blogs used to feel. It's coming soon, and it's being built for this community specifically.
