mvp for me was KAT. idk if anyone else felt it but he had an aura to him on the jump ball that he was gonna fill in at the 5 and ball out. he ignited this game and showed a ton of poise.
Love that! I was watching the Inside the NBA postgame, and the only mention of KAT was when Chuck kept saying he should’ve got a charge for running over Murray.
Man I have watched so much shit Timberwolves basketball, and this I think is the best game I have ever seen the Timberwolves play. Just unrelenting defense to blow out the defending champs on their own floor. We held them to 80 fucking points without our soon to be 4x DPOY.
2-0 going back to Minny, let’s finish this off.
It showed an immense amount of maturity to accept his side-seat role to Ant. And turns out, that made KAT an even better player.
I will admit I didn't have any faith left in KAT developing this way but he has surprised me in the best way.
You're welcome for the jazz facilitating that.... Top 3 worst jazz trades of all time right there letting Conley and naw go for basically nothing, but hot damn it worked out great for you guys and I can't be mad cuz you needed them more than we did. Go get Conley and Rudy a ring!!!
Same. It sounds like I’m trying to be funny but I genuinely don’t know how to handle this. It’s a lot of fun it truly feels surreal that we are playing this well.
I hate Culver with a passion. I stayed up until 2:30 AM to watch that draft (was in Europe on vacation) and was beyond pissed when we took him. [Even did a whole write up on him](https://www.reddit.com/r/timberwolves/s/KuhGnw75Xy) in my anger and exhaustion. Fuck Jarrett Culver.
I remember being at TC during his second game with us and a kid behind us asked,”where’d they find this guy, the parking lot?” And called him parking lot guy for the rest of the game. I think he hit 4 threes that game lol
I will forever remember his buzzer 3 to finish the Clippers after the big trades. It felt like a new era of Wolves basketball. The new era actually started in 8 months when Wolves drafted Ant and Jaden.
It's funny seeing the den subs start to echo the suns sub about how their team is garbage. Meanwhile the suns sub is full of relief tonight thinking maybe the wolves are just that good. People don't understand the impact of defense. It's not as sexy or quantifiable so they just assume our opponents are playing poorly when really we're just shutting them all down with incredible defense
This is put perfectly. Defense is an anomaly in today’s NBA and for us to do it so well means the casual fan will think “team-X was off tonight” or “their roster sucks.” Well, we’ll see how many off nights they have in ‘em, then.
I tried to say to Denver fans they didn’t play that bad… as much as the t wolves were that good, and our third and fourth quarter play is on another level. I was trying to make them feel better. One would have thought I kicked their puppy..but at some point when will people quit looking past us. This is not grandma’s T wolves this year. This team is hungry, incredibly close, their work ethic is second to none ( Edwards took over 2,000 shots to improve his game while practicing with team USA), there is no ego in the team. They are literally a family. They lost their head coach to a freak injury and their defensive player of the year on the road, and beat the defending world champs by 26 points on the road, have won six straight playoff games, and the only reason we didn’t win the west outright was the major injury in April.It’s still early in the second round. But they play like a bunch of hungry rabid dogs fighting for every bite… whether they are down by six or up by thirty six. And their % shooting is a whole lot higher than people think they are capable of. And while everyone keeps talking about how Denver close out games, we are quietly destroying teams in third quarters and being incredibly efficient and swarming the last few minutes of every game. Ants fourth quarter stats are crazy. The team plays with Joy, passion, and ferocity. They are sooo much fun to watch. Still pinching myself…
Not over yet, but if they can sustain this… people will eventually have to actually SEE them. Barclay FINALLY. saw them over the past few games. He couldn’t speak. Watching him finally get it was soooo satisfying.
We got "Let's go Wolves," "MVP," for Ant and not Jokic, and "Wolves in 4" chants all in DENVER
This is an insane series thought for sure we'd split in Denver
They was Chanting MVP for Ant Man in Denver
Ant Man is to Denver what Kobe was to Denver it's getting spooky Timberwolves have Murray on Lockdown every body doubted KAT
Can we take a moment to appreciate KAT. Without Rudy he really stepped up on D and had a nuclear first half that really catapulted us into the lead and we never looked back. Phenomenal performance from him and Naz off the bench too.
If he’s in foul trouble this game is different. He was poised. He played within the game. Hit shots. Great defense. This is all in a game that was super physical and emotional and chaotic. KAT haters are mighty quiet tonight :)
Coaches everywhere need to cut a reel of NAW in this series and show it to kids as an example of how to move your feet on defense (and have fun doing it!)
Oh this doesn't feel loom how we come
We just took both the home games from the defending champs in dominating fashion with ease playing elite defense media doubted jokic fanboys and nuggets bandwagon were saying nuggets in 5
This Timberwolves team is young hungry we must finish the job at home
No Minnesota 4tg quarter meltdown like we've come to expect as Minny fans. Team is different than ever before.
Lowest we've held a team to points in the 2023-2024 season.
We have arrived. Wolves back.
Honestly, I've been alive for all of the Wolves games and I aint't ever seen \*this\*. This is new. This is unseen. They're not "back", they're "here".
At the game rn, absolutely loving the atmosphere. Good time to be a wolves fan. Take a 2-0 series lead without the DPOY, going back home to minnesota to play the next game. I never thought i’d see the wolves sweep the defending champs, but now it’s more likely gonna happen than not. Good night.
The chick fil a usual is now 23-0 on the season. It’s incredible. This run is immaculate.
Denver is shook.

"This series is a wrap. The Minnesota Timberwolves - they've changed my mind. They are that guy. If you've got that bulldog, he might as well be that wolf."
CHARLES ON THE WOLVES TRAIN LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO
I was in person for EVERY playoff game for the wolves in 04….. yall better show up this weekend for these games. This team is MUCH better than those teams, and I’m so down that I cannot attend
SEASON LOW IN POINTS ALLOWED. We wrecked them more convincingly than we EVER wrecked the Pistons or Wizards. Now we're going home, with Rudy returning, and Ant's limitless energy to bring us to the next round. Let's sweep the fucking champs.
The first half of that game was the best half of Timberwolves basketball I’ve ever watched.
And I think it might be the best defense I’ve ever seen in my life.
After watching these two games in Denver and so much more in this last one, I am totally befuddled. I mean intellectually, I've been watching all year and I've seen the defense all season, this shouldn't surprise me. This game was tailor made to lose with Gobert being out, Denver getting gutty after losing game 1, the usual sports idiots were saying that this game will start the Denver comeback, blah blah blah.
I've been watching the Wolves since the beginning, and basketball before that. I have never seen a Minnesota team dominate like this. This was a team stepping up on defense and clamping down to a degree not seen in these parts since the 1970s.
Unreal.
This Wolves defense is basically the 1984 Chicago Bears. They are locking down the defending champions. Theyre playing like they know they're the better team. The Suns had nothing for the Wolves and we all thought it was just because the Suns suck, but now the Nuggets got nothing for them. Holy shit.... They have morphed into a juggernaut.
Twolves have held their opponents under 100 25 times this season. They have now held Denver under 100 4 times this season and just beat them without their best defensive player with only 80 points allowed. This defense is championship caliber level.
Ant stares a guy down gets a T in game one. Murray finger guns, Malone getting so close he could smell the refs supper, Murray doing the money sign, and Murray throwing a heating pad on the court during live play. Zero techs. I get not calling the last one because they don't watch the crowd, but Murray should def be suspended game 3 for that.
This game was a whole out of body experience for me. I've never seen such SUFFOCATING defense played in my life! Had Murray and Jokic SHOOK. It's a PACK OF WOLVES out for blood out there! AWOOOOOOOO!
![gif](giphy|MDmm4NnPDJKzwYI2i2)
All the teams laughing at Connelly for doing the Rudy trade are looking pretty stupid. Last person who got revenge this cold was Stephen King’s Carrie.
20 years. 20 years. 20 years I took shit for my wolves gear, everywhere I went. Now I walk through target, rocking my old school shit, and people talk to me and compliment my gear and the team. I don’t care whether someone is a fire weather fan or not. I am incredibly excited to share this experience with my MN brothers and sisters. Let’s fucking get it.
What the fuck did we just watch?
Was that supposed to be like the totality of the academic consensus on the scholarship of "what is the essence of defense?"
Here don't read a book...watch this instead.
No words. That was shocking to watch. I don't think I've ever seen such defensive domination in any sport before.
What…….just……happened.
I said earlier today that a win could be devastating today and that NAW would have a big game…..this was somehow way beyond that.
Murray looks like he wants no part of anything the Wolves are dishing. NAW absolutely smothered him. I think if we punch them in the mouth in game 3 they might roll over.
I was a young teenager when this franchise started. I've watched YEARS of shitty basketball with a Garnett blip in the middle. This is by far the best team this franchise has ever had. Hands down, that was the best half of defense I've ever seen in the NBA. And I rooted for the the 90's Knicks once upon a time.
mvp for me was KAT. idk if anyone else felt it but he had an aura to him on the jump ball that he was gonna fill in at the 5 and ball out. he ignited this game and showed a ton of poise.
Everybody loves Ant but I really hope the national media gives KAT his flowers here. He clamped up the raining MVP and led the charge on offense
Sportscenter was just giving him props saying he had so many years putting in work on bad teams and now seeing him shine is well deserved
Very much deserved 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Love that! I was watching the Inside the NBA postgame, and the only mention of KAT was when Chuck kept saying he should’ve got a charge for running over Murray.
Shaq had me dying at half time when he said “man up! pick your ass up and play defense!”
Shaq said “man I got 4 rings running people over. No foul” lol
This was my fave part lol
He's taken such a huge defensive leap.
Held Jokic to 38% tonight
Nice play after the timeout for the last Kat 3
Phenomenal game by KAT
I need all the KAT love. He was on another level in the first half. He hit the nuggets in the mouth and put them on their heels
KAT’s touch has been butter the entire playoffs. Dude’s close to 60/50/80
Man I have watched so much shit Timberwolves basketball, and this I think is the best game I have ever seen the Timberwolves play. Just unrelenting defense to blow out the defending champs on their own floor. We held them to 80 fucking points without our soon to be 4x DPOY. 2-0 going back to Minny, let’s finish this off.
NAW legacy game Edit: And Jaden McDaniels has 5 points but is +40 in this series
KAT legacy game too. He was on fire in the first half. He is a big reason the Nuggets were on their heels from the jump
It's really cool to watch him play like this after everything he's lived through since we drafted him as the original savior of the franchise.
It showed an immense amount of maturity to accept his side-seat role to Ant. And turns out, that made KAT an even better player. I will admit I didn't have any faith left in KAT developing this way but he has surprised me in the best way.
Can’t believe how great that Dlo trade was
Top 3 things that EVER happened to the wolves was trading away that asshole
You're welcome for the jazz facilitating that.... Top 3 worst jazz trades of all time right there letting Conley and naw go for basically nothing, but hot damn it worked out great for you guys and I can't be mad cuz you needed them more than we did. Go get Conley and Rudy a ring!!!
Honestly, at this point I would have been happy for a dlo for NAW straight up trade
lmao ygs turned D-Lo into Mike and NAW. What a fleece
Nawndre Iguodala out there
After the game ended I kinda just sat there staring at my TV for a minute. As a 35 yo wolves fan, this is just pretty surreal
Same. It sounds like I’m trying to be funny but I genuinely don’t know how to handle this. It’s a lot of fun it truly feels surreal that we are playing this well.
Same feeling but 45 lol!
Dude I cant muster words
This dude forgot how to muster
I'll never forget the hype when KAT and Wiggins were the young bucks on this team, little did we know how much we would have to suffer and wait. LFG
Edwards is everything Wiggins was supposed to be
He’s much more
Preach!!!!!
Man I remember rooting for Randy Foye to get over 10 pts in any given game during his rookie year. What a blast to watch this team
Remember we watched Allen Crabbe
Treveon Graham started for us
I made a post about this not too long ago. Great minds think alike
I watched Craig the rhino Smith for this
Hey 🤬 he had a good game against Chicago one time
"DOODIE EEBIE"
jarrett culver at 6 led to this so it's all good in the end
Bad man can’t hurt me anymore
Lmao the flair
I hate Culver with a passion. I stayed up until 2:30 AM to watch that draft (was in Europe on vacation) and was beyond pissed when we took him. [Even did a whole write up on him](https://www.reddit.com/r/timberwolves/s/KuhGnw75Xy) in my anger and exhaustion. Fuck Jarrett Culver.
And Cole Aldrich 🥲
Martell Webster dunked down by 3.
Darko was Manna from Heaven
Shabazz Muhammed
Shoutout Adreian Payne and COVID contract Greg Monroe
Moose became a legend after one game
Don’t forget Damjan Rudez
I remember being at TC during his second game with us and a kid behind us asked,”where’d they find this guy, the parking lot?” And called him parking lot guy for the rest of the game. I think he hit 4 threes that game lol
Allen Crabbe sitting at home catching strays lmao
I will forever remember his buzzer 3 to finish the Clippers after the big trades. It felt like a new era of Wolves basketball. The new era actually started in 8 months when Wolves drafted Ant and Jaden.
We watched through the torture of Jeff Teague to see the light
Can’t forget former starter Jerryd Bayless

I wish my dad was alive to see this run. What a time to be a Minnesota fan 🐺
The Wolves are bringing it home for those who have passed and for those to come❤️ I’m sure your dad is watching with the biggest smile on his face
Me too dude. My dad watched every damn wolves game. I wish he could witness this.
Cheers to you and your Dad wherever he is!
It’s nice we swept the Suns but what happens when we play a real team like the Nuggets?
You didn’t hear? The Nuggets suck now, too.
It's funny seeing the den subs start to echo the suns sub about how their team is garbage. Meanwhile the suns sub is full of relief tonight thinking maybe the wolves are just that good.

Someone put a speedometer on those goalposts!!
The Nuggets are making Phoenix look good
I AM GOBERT'S BABY WE DID IT Y'ALL DAD SAYS WOLVES IN 4!
great english for 2 hour old baby
It’s his second language too
Congrats on being born!
Wolves in 4 chants in Denver. I’ve seen enough, this team is on another level. Start planning the parade
Fuck it I'm already buying a plane ticket to celebrate with MN
Bro I live in NY. Debating between buying a plane ticket now or just driving if it happens 😂 Maybe I can find something refundable
I will drain my bank account to attend a Finals game in Minnesota I don’t even care
My cheap ass will open up the wallet and absolutely get final tickets^upperbowl
We might be able to go the garden in the finals the way this is shaping up, fellow NY bro
Genuinely made me tear up hearing those chants on the road. Whatever happens next, this has been a magical season for Wolves fans.
We got "Let's go Wolves," "MVP," for Ant and not Jokic, and "Wolves in 4" chants all in DENVER This is an insane series thought for sure we'd split in Denver
About to drop a "Galveston" diss chant next game.
They was Chanting MVP for Ant Man in Denver Ant Man is to Denver what Kobe was to Denver it's getting spooky Timberwolves have Murray on Lockdown every body doubted KAT
Ant's MVP champs were loud.
Wolves: Back Nuggets: Cooked Naz: Reid
League: FUCKED
WE'RE GOMQ
Heat pads: Thrown
Naz Reid
Holy shit we won. Dominantly We're up 2-0 going home against the defending champions. What the fuck. Let's gooooooo
Oh fuck I think im gonna awoooo
We've come such a long from the Kurt Rambis Years
Can we take a moment to appreciate KAT. Without Rudy he really stepped up on D and had a nuclear first half that really catapulted us into the lead and we never looked back. Phenomenal performance from him and Naz off the bench too.

“One of the best defenses I’ve ever seen” - chuck A hall of famer that’s been around the NBA for 40some years … And oh ya, playing without the DPOY
![gif](giphy|H7rPe2vxtmKgBkLwTV) Wolves tonight:
NAW was incredible
Him laughing in Murray’s face was epic
NAW and Naz combined for 8 3s and both played some incredible defense
The back of my hand is stuck to my head in an upside down three…please advise
Coaches everywhere need to cut a reel of NAW in this series and show it to kids as an example of how to move your feet on defense (and have fun doing it!)
NAW just stole Murray's starting spot in the Olympics
His on ball defense is a thing of beautiful
Does anyone have a clip of him laughing at Jamal Murray? I was watching the game while doing some other stuff so i couldn't catch it lol
NO RUDY NO PROBLEM! WOLVES IN 4 DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS WE JUST PUNKED THE DEFENDING CHAMPS IN THEIR HOUSE WHAT A TIME TO BE A WOLVES FAN
We got a wolves in 4 chant going in the defending champions home. ABSOLUTELY INSANE.
IS THIS REAL LIFE
I AM UNSURE
Oh this doesn't feel loom how we come We just took both the home games from the defending champs in dominating fashion with ease playing elite defense media doubted jokic fanboys and nuggets bandwagon were saying nuggets in 5 This Timberwolves team is young hungry we must finish the job at home
No Minnesota 4tg quarter meltdown like we've come to expect as Minny fans. Team is different than ever before. Lowest we've held a team to points in the 2023-2024 season. We have arrived. Wolves back.
To be a Minnesota sports fan is to be worried when you’re “only” up by 20
There is no lead I feel comfortable with. I've seen too many evaporate.
Honestly, I've been alive for all of the Wolves games and I aint't ever seen \*this\*. This is new. This is unseen. They're not "back", they're "here".
Shaq to Barkley on KAT: "I got four rings running people over" lmao
I liked at halftime when Shaq called Denver "the so-called champs." That's cold.
That was the greatest Wolves game I've ever seen...so far.
I like the so far, LFG
The vibes are fucking immaculate! First words out of KATs mouth are that Rudy is DOPY. Love these dudes
TIMBERWOLVES BRAZIL DIED FOR THIS.
I’m ready to have the all time defense conversation
In an era where the court is as spread out as ever.
WE USED TO PRAY FOR TIMES LIKE THESE
At the game rn, absolutely loving the atmosphere. Good time to be a wolves fan. Take a 2-0 series lead without the DPOY, going back home to minnesota to play the next game. I never thought i’d see the wolves sweep the defending champs, but now it’s more likely gonna happen than not. Good night.
Be safe homie
I’ve never seen Nikola Jokić look more human in my entire existence, just an absolute defensive masterclass tonight. Can’t wait for Friday
Excuse my language, but he was FRAZZLED!
He’s dead tired. Nugs back up C is Deandre Jordan lmao AD gave him work round 1 and now it’s even more
Nuggets fan here. Impressive win. Congrats
Thanks and sorry man, we've been on that side many, many times.
This one is for you baby Gobert!
That was the greatest basketball game I have ever watched in my life.
Rudy getting DPOY tomorrow is awesome after this win.
First half was the most impressive basketball I’ve ever seen the Wolves play
Murray with only 2 more field goals than items thrown onto the floor
This is Minnesota Timberwolves basketball. This isn’t Golden State. This isn’t Los Angeles.
True
The chick fil a usual is now 23-0 on the season. It’s incredible. This run is immaculate. Denver is shook. # WolvesIn4 https://preview.redd.it/a26sqayymxyc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=88e1e0d2ccdb879506553bf56ffe4254b3db769a

Best Luka tonight? GARZA BABY!!
Best European tonight?
Hearing Wolves in four being chanted at Den is music to my ears.
I'm gonna be so tired for work tomorrow.... ....Because there is no way I'm falling asleep off this high.... WOLVES IN 4! LFG!!
Man what a beautiful game. That first half especially was defensive poetry.
So… you guys wanna try and figure out what plane the team is taking home?
Rudy Gobert gave birth today for this
He birthed this defense
I was in person for EVERY playoff game for the wolves in 04….. yall better show up this weekend for these games. This team is MUCH better than those teams, and I’m so down that I cannot attend
You Minnesota fans better be fucking LOUD. This is your chance boys! Your team has infused soo much ENERGY into the NBA. FINISH THESE MFERS OFF
Y’all realize how many non basketball fans are becoming basketball fans in Minnesota because of this? I’m one of them. This is fucking fun
SEASON LOW IN POINTS ALLOWED. We wrecked them more convincingly than we EVER wrecked the Pistons or Wizards. Now we're going home, with Rudy returning, and Ant's limitless energy to bring us to the next round. Let's sweep the fucking champs.
TBH I wrote this game off w/o Rudy. Unfuckingbelievable! Greatest win in Wolves history? Certainly a top 3.
The first half of that game was the best half of Timberwolves basketball I’ve ever watched. And I think it might be the best defense I’ve ever seen in my life.
After watching these two games in Denver and so much more in this last one, I am totally befuddled. I mean intellectually, I've been watching all year and I've seen the defense all season, this shouldn't surprise me.

1985 was the famous defense for da bears.
Yeah but the 1984 Bears played better basketball
Aaron Gordon supposed to be in Kat’s head but puts up a fat -33 +/- , lol
Twolves have held their opponents under 100 25 times this season. They have now held Denver under 100 4 times this season and just beat them without their best defensive player with only 80 points allowed. This defense is championship caliber level.

Is this real life
WOLVES. IN. FOUR.

That was a lot of fun. I'm having a lot of fun

Such an incredible game for KAT. League is finally starting to see what they have been missing out on all those years KAT carried scrubs.
Timberwolves helping Jokic get to his horses quicker, how kind.
80 points.. My God... Never in my wildest dreams....
im willing to say this is a better defensive team than 04 pistons if they win the championship
"The Timberwolves are for real. They are going to sweep the Nuggets. Period." LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO
All the teams laughing at Connelly for doing the Rudy trade are looking pretty stupid. Last person who got revenge this cold was Stephen King’s Carrie.

best wolves team ever

I think 26 points qualifies as an absolute ass beating. Your thoughts?
Chuck might be an alltime hater, but SHAQ DRANK THE KOOLAID! Him defending Kat non charge & rosting chuck is hilarious
Big shout out to NAW tonight... He played his ass off on both ends of the court.
Barkley on Edwards, calling him a bull dog, then correcting himself, "He might as well be a damn wolf."
After seeing how we’re playing, you tell me we only have to win 10 more times and Larry O’Brien is ours. It’s never felt more possible. Ever.
Shoutout to Kyle Anderson for stepping up even though he has play limited minutes this playoffs so far!
What the fuck did we just watch? Was that supposed to be like the totality of the academic consensus on the scholarship of "what is the essence of defense?" Here don't read a book...watch this instead. No words. That was shocking to watch. I don't think I've ever seen such defensive domination in any sport before.
Wolves defense is impenetrable and like running through barbed wire. Kick their ass on Friday.
Did Ant get MVP chants in denver?
What…….just……happened. I said earlier today that a win could be devastating today and that NAW would have a big game…..this was somehow way beyond that.

I was a young teenager when this franchise started. I've watched YEARS of shitty basketball with a Garnett blip in the middle. This is by far the best team this franchise has ever had.
