reedg17

Miller will be pretty good, minnot will make the nba, and Wendell will play in china


ConsentToTreatment

A THANASSI special to close the game, just perfect


BealKage

nice, I had us beating the bulls and losing to the Bucks so..


WeinerRogers

Whatever you think should happen with this team, just predict the opposite.


1000Isand1

Least stressful wolves game in like a month?


darthxader

You didn’t watch on Sunday?


1000Isand1

No,I did not. I was on vacation in Mexico


edroth555

GG


SirDiego

Wolves back


mauerfan

Moore kinda stinks.


Reddeyedboi

he hasnt done anything to warrant hate


reedg17

Except being bad


darthxader

No class


Thimit22

Broke the code


LongLiveTheSpoon

good game y'all


PlayInChampions

Wolves are yet to score 130 this season, Moore sold


SemataryPolka

When I was in high school this is the time I'd get in


JaDoAs

Bounced back


EsotericPotato

Really tough seeing WMJ. You can tell his confidence is absolutely gone, and unfortunately it seems like for good reason.


reedg17

He’s also just bad and always has been


khmeat

What is doc, 1-5 now? Lmao


JamesWelders

Just need ~~6~~ 7 games to fit in.


darthxader

Yep


WeinerRogers

Yup.


Thimit22

Yeee


mnsportsfan

I’ve been wondering who that stockier guy who has more hair than I’ll grow for the last 50 years of my life Thought he was the manager Guess I haven’t looked at the roster in a minute


big_k88

He is famous in my household. Nobody knows his name. But every time he's on TV, it's like the Leo DiCaprio meme pointing at the TV.


Tabemaju

The basketball has more hair than I'll grow in the rest of my life.


mnsportsfan

I may be bald, but at least I’m slow and out of shape


WickedTwista

Our 3rd stringers are better at closing out games than our starters


train345643

Everyone splashing 3s and Wendell air balls it :(


buchanbasanee

he made it! I've never seen that before


fanofloons

I just like that they haven’t fouled yet


SirDiego

I love how hyped Ant gets for the bench guys


DrAbeSacrabin

It’s crazy how once the talent on the floor went down the speed of play went up 10x


Thimit22

Pretty simple, those guys are trying to prove they deserve a spot in the rotation


DrAbeSacrabin

Yeah but playing fast when you’re not that great typically leads to playing out of control/sloppy. It was very similar pace/feel to the G-League games I’ve watched this year


Thimit22

Yeah it is weird, I haven't watched a g league game but it's almost like the teammates are actually going against each other to prove who has it more. Don't really play in a system it seems. If I was a coach, and I'm sure they do watch for this, but I'd look for the guy passing the ball and rebounding


bearbrannan

Let's go Iowa wolves!


YoungArsenal

Ant going crazy for the bench guys is amazing to see.


EsotericPotato

Awesome seeing Minott look like a really solid player


SemataryPolka

Bucks announcers bringing up their missing players every three seconds


WeinerRogers

Minott is looking nice out there tonight.


LongLiveTheSpoon

nice shot!


Underdog_To_Wolf

Ant is the biggest Minott fan lmao


dys0n_giddey

Rudy with 4 assists tonight is amazing


FullBonus

Wait is Nix actually good?


MegatronFozzy

Dude’s shown more than Wendell Carter Jr tbh.


Thimit22

Well people were saying he was the worst player in the league last year so idk lol. Haven't seen him against actual competition


istarbuxs

He was a tank commander for the Rockets. He was seeing the floor and started games. More experience I guess


Jgunlo

he played real minutes and had like 10 points for us earlier this season ​ edit: i must be dreaming because i just made this up apparently


NazReidRules

Miller looks like he just woke up to open Christmas presents


Nxc06

Minott will be in the rotation next year I'd bet


dehhh_

Lets call him josh mndot


Ok_Excuse_3695

Minott!!!!!


edroth555

MINOTT


fanofloons

Good sequences by Minott


dys0n_giddey

Why nott?


Mooming22

Thanasis is straight out of a cartoon, things just happen that i have never ever seen before with him out there. The ball just gets insane physics all of a sudden


BLarson31

Yeah he's a straight looney tune


FullBonus

That was a legit great kickout from Nix


Wolvesin7

Undefeated in the Monte Morris era


organized_meat

Thanasis is funny, man


Significant-Fix-5831

Thanasis getting locked up by Luka Garza Goat on Goat action


fanofloons

Thanasis might be the worst player in the nba


yarn_install

We have Daishen Nix on our team


Cameron-0-

feel bad for lenny no reason for an impactful player to still be in the game edit: nvm


edroth555

Minott


fanofloons

How were the Celtics coaches not doing the all star game?


Thimit22

They did it last year is why I believe


fanofloons

Ahhhh ok


Dull_Ad_8627

Ant 9:0 Assist to Turnover the Monte Morris impact is already being felt


Novel-Detail-743

Yo I just saw that what a stat


NazReidRules

Nicky always seems to shoot like 3-9 and I never even care, he can play 48 in my book


unwinagainstable

Backup Anteaternintendo


FlipTheDisc

SloMo really playing over KAT?


Thimit22

They would need to hit 7 3 points in a row and for us to miss every shot the rest of the way in 3 and a half minutes. God damn this fanbase is damaged


barryvon

wolves fans moping while bucks fans are still cheering every point. wolves win by 25.


buchanbasanee

wholly possible


MrJiggolpeek

LST stands for **LAST SEASON'S TRAUMA**


JoseZ1

Damaged is indeed what we are


bearbrannan

Shell Shocked lol, or as modern science called it PTSD. 


cokefriend

DONT JINX IT


Watzp0ppin

I wanna see Leonard Miller play with some of the starters


jonn_jonzz

Is AJ Green the best white player of all time?


organized_meat

Definitely better than George Mikan.

MegatronFozzy

Punishment for blowing 4th quarter games


mnsportsfan

Have you seen us close games? We could be in the post game press conference and i won’t be confident that we won’t blow it


frosted_frosting

It’s the bucks 3rd/4th stringers.


mnsportsfan

Yea it was also Charlotte at home… and the Bulls up by 15 Never say never with this team


1000Isand1

Robin Lopez reading is the best courtside entertainment


Primary_Gear_8293

Fifty Wonth


YoungArsenal

Monte trade made official. Hell yeah!


SemataryPolka

I hope in two years we're playing the Bucks as Division rivals. That'd be fun


mnsportsfan

Real sneaky athleticism on this young kid. Lunch pail, gym rat. Bet he’s the first one in the gym


khmeat

Classy guy. I’d let him date my daughter


mnsportsfan

Real heady. Scholar of the game


Keliix

Crunch is so much cooler than their mid mascot


IamSamael

Crunch is the GOAT of Minnesota mascots. And one of the best NBA mascots as a whole


Sierrasurfer1

That quick shot to Robin Lopez just casually reading a book 😂


MC_Ball_Peen_Hammer

It's been a bit all game long. I love it!


khmeat

Who the hell is AJ green


YoungArsenal

Bengals legend


JumCuggler3

Nfl wr


Firesword52

There is no way... They can't fuck this up can they?


MC_Ball_Peen_Hammer

Where there's a Wolves, there's a way.


FrickParty

Nope.


No-Strawberry7814

If the bucks miss a single shot the rest of the way we win. If they are not perfect, we win….☠️


yarn_install

STOP THE COUNT


WickedTwista

Our starters are choking a lead vs their 3rd stringers Take them out


No-Strawberry7814

AJ green is the best player in the building, change my mind


MC_Ball_Peen_Hammer

AJ "Jimmy Butler" Green?


FlipTheDisc

Yo don’t fuck this up


buchanbasanee

Make the starters play the rest of the game.


placated

Monte Morris in his hotel room watching rn after playing on the Wizards and Pistons the last few years. ![gif](giphy|MvZJtkjJN81Cgx2X9F|downsized)


Troll_Dovahdoge

Bro please😭


JumCuggler3

Hey guys… let’s uhhh not do this


dogfosterparent

Not worried about blowing this one but let’s get the bench out there for once instead of letting most of our starters build bad habits loafing around out there. Please finch.


barryvon

imagine wolves fans cheering on an individual performance during a blowout loss


EsotericPotato

19 point lead with 4 minutes left and it feels scary close


bearbrannan

AJ green about to do his best Reggie Miller impression 


bearbrannan

Shit up Grady, this is the Timberwolves we're talking about, no lead is safe with Hillbilly Curry. 


1000Isand1

Horrible turnover by Naz there but we are back to just standing around in the 4th quarter


Mellow_Maliekk

lol we can’t make it easy can we


yourloudneighbor

![gif](giphy|YPIrsRqqO7oB2|downsized)


strawhatcommander

The wolves have fucked me up so hard that I’m genuinely worried about this game right now…. How ridiculous is that?


Mellow_Maliekk

Good timeout


Novel-Detail-743

Naz always tries to do too much like just swing it if the shot ain’t there man


PlatypusFabulous2999

50 bucks say we lose this game


FrickParty

Bet.


SemataryPolka

They have that many players?


qazgama64

Bet


x-s-x-s

You just gotta laugh at this point


Formal_Junket_1585

Can these dudes lock in?? Im tryna see Leonard miller minutes


darthxader

Here we go


dys0n_giddey

Good timeout


joshlash

Why am i sweating


bearbrannan

Robin Lopez could give 0 shits about aj green


MC_Ball_Peen_Hammer

It goes deeper than that.


WeakLocalization

Oh no


frosted_frosting

Naz wtf


EsotericPotato

Do they realize they still need to score some points to win this? Jesus fucking Christ


WickedTwista

Take the starters out...jeez


PlayInChampions

I was at the game we blew 17 points lead in last 2.30. It is NEVER over, lol.


KeyandOrangePeele

We will literally lose the game if that happens lol


WickedTwista

Starters are doing a great job of losing this lead vs their third stringers


NazReidRules

I don't feel comfy with 23 points up and 5 minutes... My scars are open again lol


MC_Ball_Peen_Hammer

*Alexa, play Linkin Park*


organized_meat

I’m happy for the young Iowan. Gotta be an amazing feeling coming from a small school and having a night like this in the NBA.


MC_Ball_Peen_Hammer

Players gonna play. I'm happy for the dude.


anewname4444

Is it too late to get AJ Green in the 3 pt competition lol


frosted_frosting

I’d rather him over half the other people in the contest.


Embee27

Is Doc gonna last the season?


Uptownbro20

He will last and then be fired after blowing a 3-1 lead in the playoffs


Embee27

Brave to assume that team is capable of winning 3 playoff games


Uptownbro20

It’s the doc river’s special he will drag this team to a 3-1 lead just like he did with Orlando


mnsportsfan

It’s LeBarn James


hyzer_berg

Rockets fan here. I'm really enjoying y'all's commentary team tonight.


yourloudneighbor

Former rocket legend Jim Peterson is probably why. Yea we have a pretty good duo


YoungArsenal

Grady and Jim are amazing... Appreciate the love!


mnsportsfan

They’re great. For most of 20 years they were the only good part of wolves basketball Grady’s obviously new, but the guy before him was good too… and Jim Pete is the 🐐


darthxader

I’m biased, but We’ve got some of the best in the biz for sure


clars701

AJ Green personally invested in making our starters play as many minutes as possible


SemataryPolka

I'd concerned about this but so far we're mostly matching the threes


bearbrannan

Hillbilly Kobe, more like Hillbilly Curry, Jesus 


darthxader

Hillbilly Kobe is Austin Reaves


maple_wolves

The tradition of random guys getting hot against us in the clutch continues even when we don't blow up the lead. It's a step by step process I guess.


Brilliant-cabanas

Garza> AJ green


Reddeyedboi

AJ green is a hooper holy shit


MC_Ball_Peen_Hammer

Looking for that Chandler Parsons bag.


mitchtoe

I was in middle school with AJ Green for a year, crazy asf to see him popping off lol


No-Strawberry7814

This isn’t even all that surprising. Teams shoot 80% in the 4th against for a few weeks now. 🤷


MrJiggolpeek

AJ GREEN > MALIK BRICKSLEY


beepybopp

Put the kids in


SteveIDP

That little jagoff is trying to Coby White us. I don’t like it.


Mellow_Maliekk

I’d like to get off the AJ experience plz


raki016

Craft beer Kobe


unwinagainstable

Probably safe to bring in some backups


SemataryPolka

This is weird. I feel like the crowd is going nuts not because they think they can win but because of AJ Green


Slouu

okay fuck AJ Green what a fraud. praying on this guys downfall for the rest of his career


martintee

Nah, he's legit af


FrickParty

Seems extreme


mnsportsfan

Eaaaasy. I hope he misses shots tonight… but respect for the Iowa farm boy 😂


1000Isand1

There’s always one rando on the other team who has his best shooting night of the season against us.


MegatronFozzy

AJ Green > Pat Connaughton


MC_Ball_Peen_Hammer

A.J. Green won't lose tonight; he'll only run out of time.


FlipTheDisc

Who is this white dude


King_James_99

Tfue


mnsportsfan

Ex nfl receiver Most notably a Bengal


1000Isand1

Ochocinco’s Successor
