The #1 Seed Minnesota Timberwolves will NOT get better THIS SEASON by trading one of their bigs.
National Media still saying this doesn’t work and they need a trade to get better this season clearly do not watch the team.

    Rudy trade startin to look a lil better now ain’t it. He’s the only one in the playoffs who locked Jokic down to below 50% shooting. They even said T Wolves were the toughest team they faced. This team is dangerous

      Just needed some time to gel. KAT’s injury last year fucked everything up, and we still made a tiny bit of noise in the playoffs even with our starters playing like 15 games together

        For me the biggest indicator of this team’s success is their defense. Even with their offense at 15th, we know they can be better than that. Just look at what Ant did last playoffs. I’m a nuggets fan, and honestly he was the scariest player (other than Devin Booker) that we saw.

          T-Wolves fans gotta be loving this. Not only does their lack of continuity mean they’re likely to get better together if anything, their long term guys are all pretty young among contending teams that otherwise pretty much all have concern in that regard. Fuckin Ant is 22.

          Yeah they said themselves they want to make defense their identity this year, and you can tell everyone has bought in. Offense will find their flow like you said. I’m really excited for the rest of the season. Doing way better so far than I imagined. Hope we meet you guys in the playoffs again with two fully healthy squads

            It would be an exciting series, especially cuz the timberwolves are really putting it together. And I will be dreading Ant lol

      It definitely was. The other three series were mainly “competitive” due to bench minutes, if you only count starters’ score then Denver was basically dominating them all completely. With Wolves the starters were much much closer and Nuggets’ bench did more to keep the score. That series’ 1-4 was decided in bigger part by minutes of Kyle Anderson, Taurean Prince and Jaylen Nowell than Gobert and Edwards.

      that was bruce brown who said that

      i believe that Bruce Brown found Mike Conley and Anthony Edwards harder to play against than jsut Devin Booker, DeAngelo Russell and Austin Reeves, and Grandpa Lowry and Gabe Vincent
