Timberwolves are out of sync, and it’s affecting everything and everyone

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 08:05:37 GMT

During their past six quarters of play, the Timberwolves have looked eerily similar to the dysfunctional version of the team that took the floor for the first quarter of the season.The Lakers and Trail Blazers were two of the five NBA teams to log 25-plus transition points in a single game between Friday and Sunday. and both did so against Minnesota.The Wolves scored 43, 46 and 49 points over their past three second-half offensive performances — all losses.

Otherwise, why the emphasis on equity (equal outcomes)?One item, however, tells the whole story. “The bills … would invest … and require schools to screen for reading problems in kindergarten.” Isn’t this being done? If so, why do they need more money? This isn’t anything new — it was known 60 years ago.This should be the first exercise as students progress in the first few months.
