The Timberwolves now sit at 13-4, the current #1 seed in the Western Conference, almost 1/4 through the season.
Rudy Gobert defensive rating: 102.3 (#1 in the league)
KAT defensive rating: 104 (#2 in the league this year / averaged 109 historically)
Timberwolves: 106.6 (#1 in the league)
If they make the finals this year; are we still saying it was an overpay?
100%, other fan bases don’t understand Minnesota sports at all. We have been dying to see a good Timberwolves team forever. Now that it’s here you see Target Center packed night after night with the most passionate crowd in the league.
I dare anyone to actually watch a Wolves home game and see all that excitement and energy and then say “overpay”.
I wasn’t even aware people attended weeknight games until this year. It’s wild seeing a sellout on a Tuesday night.
People have thought that MN isn’t a good basketball state because we’re the state if hockey, but it’s really been because the team has been so bad for so long nobody wants to go to the games. MN is a great basketball state, we’re pumping out multiple 4* or higher HS recruits per year now, and obviously the crowds at Target Center
It’s really too bad Coyle is a terrible AD and made the hires here has. The barn is dead as can be.
Badgers have won a lot of big ten games with decent-enough kids from Minnesota who you should be kept in state.
Such a bummer. The Barn when it’s packed and has energy is my favorite sports venue in Minnesota.
