  1. H2-nL

    I was really nervous about the second half but we played a complete game thankfully.

  2. unwinagainstable

    Nice rebound game. I will sleep nude tonight.

  3. irishace88

    Rudy is so fucking back! Here comes another DPOY!

  5. PrecisionAcc

    This means the Wolves are now the new NBA champs. It just does.

  7. dataresissimist

    Naz’s post game looked so good tonight.

  11. irishace88

    Ahh holding the Nuggets under 90 points. Just as we all predicted.

  12. JackM76

    Sick to see them put away a team. Nuggets especially

  15. EsotericPotato

    If KAT continues to play defense the way he is, top 5 defense is well within reach.

    Naz Reid is no longer just a solid player, fun story kind of player. He is a straight up monster and unironically one of the most skilled bigs in the NBA. His footwork and ball handling skills are immaculate. He might be a legit 6MOY candidate type player this season.

  16. perlzy

    I’m not convinced i reckon they still might make a comeback

  17. Gyroflex

    i will never understand this team, just play similar to that every night and we’ll always have a shot

  19. log28

    We are still undefeated in amazing Luka Garza fits and held on to a 20 point lead. It’s like Christmas came early

  20. czechmate-

    So this sub will be flooded with new posts giving Finch credit for this one right?

  21. dodechadecha

    I was clenching until the clock hit 0:00

  22. HawaiianPunch42

    Fuck all the doomers on Monday

    Wolves Back!

  25. Pyschic_Psycho

    We beat Denver, therefore by law we are now the champions.

  26. 891960

    The reactions on this sub is what convinced me that true democracy does not work

  27. yourloudneighbor

    We did it!whoever summoned reverse psychology at the half….do it again

  28. seventeenweewees

    This means we’re 4-2 in our playoff series, right?

  30. fishytunadood

    Great win. Gobert looks like another player without his back issues. Worth the trade. Huge team win. Naz is the best signing we could have had. Naz Reid…

  31. Thimit22

    Feel like I was the only person in here who still had hope for this team after Monday night. It’s still so early in the season

  32. Knightbear49

    KAT, not the worst basketball player of all time.

  33. Sam7sung

    Great gameplan from start to finish. The defense is real, just need that to carry us while we figure out the offense

  34. ASHDABOSS32

    80-2 , never doubted them even for a second 😉

  35. FlyingScissor

    Wolves up double digits all night and most people in the game thread were absolutely miserable all night. KAT was shit on for being +22 team high. At some point you gotta look in the mirror and realize your unhappiness is your problem and not the team.

  36. WeakLocalization

    Not a well officiated game, but it didnt matter (thank god). Wolve defense (and rebounding!!!) continue to look excellent

  37. seventeenweewees

    SloMo got a lot of shaping up to do with that team worst -1

  39. Keliix

    Only thing I still don’t like about our team is Shake Milton throwing up another stinker. Hoping he is able to find his role better once the team smooths out their identity.

  40. xFlames_

    Honestly bro if this team tightens up the screws and is able to maintain leads AND more importantly stay healthy, we are gonna make it farrrr in the playoffs

  41. CantaloupeCamper

    Will need like 20 of these not blowing 20pt leads to get me out of sports therapy, but for tonight I will take 1.

  42. need2peeat218am

    Never doubted this team (don’t look at my post history)

  43. Whole-Distance-8688

    Mike Conley – 1 turnover in 4 games. (AST/TO : 17.00)
    Real PG.

  44. PointGodAsh

    Why don’t the wolves simply put score their opponents every game are they dumb?

  45. Calinks

    Maybe we lost that Hawks game for a reason. A 3 game win streak with back to back 20 point blow outs against good teams and we wouldn’t know how to act. Wolves fans would be losing their damn minds causing chaos in the streets. The world needed us to stay humble.

  46. Gobert_Clamped_Luka_

    Rudy didn’t have much of a statline but he completely dominated this game. This was a classic Rudy game.

    Average fan will think he was a bum; people who watched will see he completely shut down the paint, screened to get Conley/Ant great looks, allowed KAT to defend Jokic while he stayed inside cuz Gordon can’t shoot.

    Damn I wish Jaden was healthy in the playoffs cuz MIN is built to beat DEN.
