    I’m straight up having a good fucking time! We deserve this Wolves bros!

  2. MinnesotaNoire

    Which route do you all think the championship parade will take?

  3. bogheron

    seeing the Pels play all out hair on fire offense trying to get to 100 was pretty funny

  4. FlyingScissor

    A win is a win but should have held them below 100. Damn.

  5. kylebertram

    First 30 point quarter for an opponent since Atlanta Q3

  6. unwinagainstable

    I’ve noticed we are really good at scoring more than our opponent

  7. AlligatorPoontang

    What the hell bench? Did they not get the memo?

  8. Knightbear49

    101 to the Pels. Fire Finch. Time to rebuild around Garza.

  9. Dakaraim

    Unreasonably annoyed the bench let them break 100

  10. horse_renoir13

    KAT needed that game big time. Nice bounce back.

  11. WitchofFloyd

    We are only 7 games in and this is easily the most fun I’ve ever had being a wolves fan

  12. RazTheNaut

    WE FINALLY BLEW OUT A TEAM OF 3RD STRINGERS (!!!) hang up that banner Jack

  13. iceyH0ts0up

    Literally played too well or the streak of under 100 points allowed likely continues lol. What a bizarre “problem” as a wolves fan.

  14. BeyondTimberdome

    Congrats to the Pels for scoring just as much vs the NBA’s top defense as the Celtics

  15. ASHDABOSS32

    This is what these bums are on the bench. Missed the memo man

  16. EsotericPotato

    Funny enough, I think the Timberwolves beating the brakes off of teams that are either bad or missing half their rotation is gonna do more to convince me they’re legit this year than wins like Boston or Denver.

    We all know how last season went against bad and undermanned teams. They always showed up against the big boys and slept on ever bad team. That they’re winning convincingly in a game like this is a good sign.

  17. diddlyumpcious4

    We may have won the game, but the bench made it a loss in our hearts by giving up 100.

  18. This same hobbled New Orleans team was hard for us to beat last year due to JV rebounding and BI midrange.

    We just killed them. Damn we’re legit

  19. HUMMEL_at_the_5_4eva

    Where my Chinese midgets at?!?!

  20. dosnetlive

    Look, it’s the pelicans without everybody- yeah. But this is the kind of lineup the wolves would play down to last season

  21. Correct_Fly5152

    Lakers getting waffle-stomped by the rockets.

  22. No-Athlete8322

    Love all the positive garbage time. Love how they all dapped up Matt Ryan

  23. VikingPain

    Boo! Second Unit you suck! How dare you give 100 points!

  24. SteveIDP

    2-0 in Ant Windmill Dunk games. Coincidence? I think not.

  25. Luka Garza out there pissing off our whole starting squad by getting quick buckets in the last minute so they can get shots up to get to a 100.

  26. unwinagainstable

    Rudy with 17 points on 5 shots from the field. 9-12 from the line. 20 boards. Suck it haters

  27. bearbrannan

    Who else is ready for Wemby, pretty sure the Wolves are the best team in the NBA to give him his welcome to the NBA punking.

  28. Sam7sung

    Gotta give the team credit about being mature. The majority of games have been business like

    Also I want to give Gobert credit. I haven’t been the biggest fan but he has been the most consistent player on the team. He’s so bouncy. He’s getting to everything. Even that goaltend in the first half was impressive. And of course the defense has been elite

  29. Redscareforcishetmen

    Feel bad for the pels. So many injuries. Jonas kinda looks washed. Nance not any better.

  30. WeakLocalization

    NAW: 0 pts 8 AST! his impact is underrated even though his shooting has struggled a bit so far

  31. Turns out defensive basketball is more fun to watch than 300 point games. Huh.
