Any time you check out Drew Magary be prepared for naughty language. Nice article.

Is there another website that consolidates tweets from NBA players?

Hoopshype has this page, where it collects some tweets like the below:
https://hoopshype.com/social/tweets/



There are a few tweets on Hoopshype’s page but I feel like they are missing a ton of tweets; I’d love to hear what other NBA players are saying. Surely there are more tweets out there, from NBA players, about the Wolves, right?

This is good to see regarding ratings...with Ant finally getting more popular and well known among casuals, Wolves might get decent number of national games last year.

The apparent changing of the guard in the NBA is showing some signs of catching on with viewers. Saturday’s Timberwolves-Nuggets second round Game 1 averaged a 2.4 and 4.93 million across TNT and truTV Saturday evening, up 12% in ratings and 20% in viewership from Suns-Nuggets last year (2.1, 4.10M), despite an earlier 7 PM ET start time that put the game in competition with the Kentucky Derby.

Each of Minnesota’s first five playoff games increased over the equivalent windows last year, with four in a row posting double-digit gains. Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves, who are undefeated in the postseason, are emerging as a favorite to come out of the West.

Ant 7th in MVP.
Brunson 4th.

That voting was suspect.

I can see 1, 2, and kinda 3

But Giannis at 4? Give me a break

Brunson getting the NYC vote

Tatum should be higher, Ant higher

Giannis and Brunson lower.

Not bad for a "small market"

I was thinking that what we have done already has probably secured us a ton of national games. I would not at all be surprised to see us be a top 5 team when it comes to national coverage next season. I think the Warriors, Suns, Nuggets, Kings, will take a hit in games and the Wolves will go way up. Probably at least double.

We are always fighting a numbers crunch for the simple fact that we are a Western Conference team in the Central time zone. Just look at the list of teams with the most national TV games at the start of the season.

28: Warriors
27: Lakers
25: Suns
24: Celtics
21: Nuggets
20: Knicks

In the West, you have three Pacific Coast teams and the champs.The top two in the East are two of the three most historic franchises. So unless you end up with 9 pm tip times, you're fighting against 15 Eastern Conference teams plus six other West teams in the Central time zone for the early start time. There also haven't been many built-in rivalries for networks to circle. I think we're starting to see a shift though. I'd guess the Northwest Division trio might get a few games next year just because of how tight the division was this year. We still have the Rudy vs. Victor storyline. We'll get a few likely just on Ant alone.

Not going to lie, we have a bandwagon now and it feels unfair.

I hate that I really, really like Draymond here.

Why Anthony Edwards is the PERFECT NBA superstar with Timberwolves playoff run

KG answers a real important question about the wolves on here lol
