That block from Gobert, followed by the Ant dunk - play of the 4th quarter.

This is the best Wolves TEAM I think I’ve ever seen. Complete and composed.

Anybody know about this?

Kat did get away with a blatant hook but they let it go. I was surprised…they didn’t want to decide the game since it was a “fantastic finish” as they say.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! This team is stacked. Multiple options, multiple people can step up each game. Two man game of Conley-Gobert with an alternative of Ant ISO or eventually an Ant-KAT two man game too. Naz being a sparkplug of the bench and SloMo facilitating the 2nd unit. Jaden has NAW after him if he fouls out.

Soreness loses again to Minnesota!

ARod need to show up in the TNT studio again tomorrow. Time for Chuck to make a formal apology. He needs to watch more basketball games instead of sitting in Krispy Kreme all day.

Happy to see General Soreness lose. Did he even make a basket in the second half?


I found myself wondering that too. Very quiet second half for him. I’m also glad that Kat made that late shot on him too to exercise some of those past demons.

It's the best Wolves team I've ever seen and Ive seen every one since day 1.

To win a game like this the way we did, no one can doubt we're for real. Good teams win like we did tonight.

It's finally happening to us. No one deserves it more as fans than we do. We've paid a huge price over the years.

It's just a foul away from the ball.

This team..

In my eyes, our length is beginning to impose a problem.

NAW was +13 tonight, and it showed! What a steal to get him in the DLo-Conley trade, as a THROW IN!

While Jaden gets back to 100%, it’s crazy that I’m not worried at all to replace his defense with NAW!

After that tough first half I actually thought, "wait until the 3rd quarter" knowing the Wolves could take over. Never I have ever thought that until this year.

Teams with size have ALWAYS had advantages in basketball. The fact that basketball fans were brainwashed to believe otherwise over the last 10ish years is ridiculous to me!

I tuned in for the third quarter. And this isn’t the first time. I never want to miss a third quarter!

I just feel sorry for Conley. The guy got the big contract and was taking it easy, going into semi-retirement in UTA. Instead, he has to playing hard and playing major minutes every game :D . Great trade.

We beat the Heat, the Zebra’s, and the General. 20-5 never felt so sweet.
