  1. Great head coach. They will upset the kings or grizz in the first round

  2. For the Love of everything, this is why I wanted Mike Conley on the Bulls. He fits the timeline perfectly, and does all the things that the Bulls needed at a high level.
    Say what you want about the effect the Patrick Beverley has had on the regular season, but Mike Conley would have given them a chance in the playoffs to win more than one or two games.

  3. Yeah we're doing a lot better, and Tim Connelly is starting to redeem himself, I was really really down on him and we're not out of the woods yet and I still have questions about Towns but clearly, something has changed with him and credit must be given to him for whatever that is!

  4. Now these clowns wanna show minny love these clowns had doubts all year smh but that’s espn for no love for small markets

  5. Did he just say Pat Bev was the playmaker last year??? I love Pat Bev but He clearly doesn't know what hes talking about

  6. I think Kyle Anderson has more then replaced PB. Even when Jaden struggled against the Warriors he still was able to lock down Steph on the final possession. Conley has been a huge breathe of fresh air. Defensively having him vs dlo allows us to have that defensive identity.

  7. Now that even ESPN is talking about the Wolves play, watch us drop a bunch of games. I hate it when media say anything good about the Wolves, because it works like a curse.

  8. I was listening to a podcast or interview with Brian Windhorst before the season started. He talked about how twice in the past several years he had planned to do a big story of the Wolves coming up and both times they fell apart or flopped and he wasted days/weeks of work trying to get his story going but had to scrap it. Thats a lot of time and energy and I am sure he was disappointed and frustrated. He then ended by saying now with Gobert and the team he got he is going back to Minnesota to do another come up story on the wolves that will take weeks. He says they burned him twice but he doesn't think it will happen again, hopefully. WELP, they flopped again lol and he probably has to scrap that version of his story.

    Hopefully this time they really do deliver lol.

  9. He really tried to say “and then towns got hurt” lmaooo they didn’t even have enough games to let it work

  10. The Wolves have a legitimate shot to make a run in the playoffs:
    -The Wolves are 2-0 in KAT’s return (plus KAT winning both games in clutch fashion)
    -Ant Edwards doing Ant Edwards things
    -Mike Conley is an ADULT point guard that is leaps and bounds a better fit than Dlo was
    -Rudy Gobert has turned this Wolves defense into one of the best in the west
    -Jaden McDaniels is finally figuring out his offense, plus he is one of the best defenders in the NBA
    -In case you guys don’t know about Kyle Anderson, he is basically on triple-double watch every night and is one of the most important pieces to this wolves squad
    -Naz Reid…that’s all i’m gonna say
    – Tauren Prince, Jaylen Nowell, Jordan McLaughlin, and NAW are such solid depth guys.
    -This team is legit and is getting heathy at the perfect time. I don’t think they are the team to beat obviously, but it wouldn’t shock me to see them force a game 7 in the 2nd round of the playoffs.

  11. It’s insane how little the NBA community understood the Dlo trade for the Wolves:
    -Mike Conley is maximizing Rudy Gobert unlike Dlo
    -Mike Conley has one of the best assist/turnover ratios in the NBA, unlike Dlo who was a turnover machine
    -Mike Conley can actually fight through screens and apply ball pressure on defense unlike Dlo
    -Mike Conley is CHEAPER than Dlo
    -Mike Conley’s shot selection and fit with the Timberwolves is 100% better than when Dlo was on the team
    -The Wolves also acquired NAW, and 3 2nd round picks in that Dlo trade as well
    -Trading Dlo was one of the best things this lousy Wolves franchise has done. But since fans don’t pay attention to the Wolves and since the Gobert trade was heavily debated, people just assumed the Mike Conley trade was bad for Minnesota.

  12. Y’all wanna say we lost the trade huh? 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀. Ainge messed tf up… again.

  13. Weird take(of subject). Michael Jordan is the GOAT…but Kobe Bryant was better than Michael Jordan…but Kobe isn't the GOAT….MJ is.
