Just like that, we have just one quarter of regular season basketball left. It’s time for you to update your progress reports and submit your grades!
What a wild quarter of the season it was for the Minnesota Timberwolves. They started the second half of the season at 21-19, then went 12-10 in their next 22 games. The Wolves ran off a five-game win streak early in this stretch before Julius Randle went down with a groin injury. This led to two disappointing losses before the Naz Reid, Jaden McDaniels, and the three rookies helped right the ship.

Welcome to Canis Pulsus Vol. 40.
For those of you who have been ignoring this series (for good reason, no offense taken) — Canis Pulsus is designed to give our Canis Hoopus community a published voice.
A pulse, if you will.
We all know that if CH occupied all seats of the Minnesota Timberwolves front office, we would be celebrating our 35th consecutive championship this year. So now is your time to play armchair GM. Who would you acquire in the draft and offseason?
It’s a simple concept, really. Just submit your vote as honestly or sarcastically as you would like. All individual submissions will remain anonymous so no one will know you gave the front office an A+ grade. Once the polls close, the results as a whole will be published on Canis Hoopus and (in theory) be sent to the arbitration committee to review.
