  1. The_Wise_Yokai

    I love games where the refs let the teams play so neither side can complain

  2. BrakingZone

    There’s something a team when good defense is played. It’s like you just want your brothers to fucking maul the opposition it’s so beautiful

  3. getyourrealfakedoors

    Excited for the “are the wolves better without Gobert?” commentary

  4. animalcollectivism8

    Ball Arena sounding like a mausoleum.

  5. You guys are actually the best team in the NBA rn

  6. I’m a blazers fan who became a wolves fan this season and I just wanna say that I’m happy that Naz Reid is the response to Jokic that the NBA has been looking for.

  7. PhantomSpecialist3

    Ok big lead but keep the focus and bury them in the 3rd.

  8. No-Athlete8322

    I’ve never seen a Minnesota sports team this dominant

  9. NBAshitpostalt

    Looking great but a long way to go. Jobs not done

  10. MinerSc2

    Anyone else feel bad for joker having to try to do everything himself?

    * Wolves having a legendary half

    * Murray wanna go home. Giving off Brandon Ingram vibes

    * MPJ cant get uncontested 3’s cuz of pitty party Murray

    * Nuggies bench is cooked

    * Reggie Jackson will never be the player he thinks he is.

  11. mattwuri

    I know I shouldn’t be surprised anymore, but it really feels like they’re one single organism on defense. Insane length, movement, and rotations.

  12. NickHodges

    How does Mike Malone not have a technical?

  13. SmallToblerone

    Cavs fan here. Anthony Edwards genuinely might be the next GOAT lmao

  14. badadviceforyou244

    If you guys win the chip this year I’m absolutely going to claim it as an honorary Jazz title and you can’t stop me! Sweep these bitch ass Nuggets.

  15. Thirty five on their own court… I am speechless

  16. RockStar2D

    I said Wolves in 4/5 but if you told me the score would be 61-35 at halftime… lord have mercy on my heart 🙏

  17. mauerfan

    I’ve seen too many terrible MN teams to be comfortable at half time. Finchy and Nori need to keep them locked in.

  18. MaleficentHawk590

    Not a Timberwolves or nuggets fan but just wanted to say that might’ve been the most dominant half of basketball I’ve ever seen

  19. demoncarcass

    Jokic is trash. The only this he has is throwing elbows and fatguy bullshit.

  20. Optimal_Complaint_35

    Seriously, Murray. Dude. Throwing shit on the floor is bad bad form.

  21. MeUrDaddy_

    Bulls fan watching. Holy fuck your team is insane. Yall are going all the way

  22. PotentialOwl8063

    Anthony Edwards in there HOLD MUH DIIIIIIIIICK SLAM JAM

  23. The power of friendship was truly on full display in that first half

  24. Imdabiggestbird69420

    reminder that the pistons scored 12 more points in a quarter this season than the nuggets did this half (who the pistons scored 47 against is irrelevant.)

  25. SirDiego

    Okay this is corny af but this entire team has adopted Rudy’s attitude on defense even when he’s not even with them. They all just believe they’re going to stop everyone no matter who’s on the floor. Fucking insane.

  26. Hoodieninj

    Seems like just yesterday I was seeing a ton of posts saying “Wolves are a regular season team, Suns are a playoff team”

  27. echelon999

    Malone and Murray should both have Techs at this point to top this off.

  28. BuschLightJesus

    ![gif](giphy|Ic4bIobsoHU0UQluKk|downsized)

  29. xanzpatrie

    Absolute unreal defense. Everyone is locked in, let’s keep It this way

  30. pepperguy22

    This is such as good game but I never celebrate until the last minute or do. Until I see Jaden on the bench, wrapped up all cozy, it ain’t over. Gotta bury the nugs

  31. TommyOfTheShelbys

    Love Micah Nori with the let’s win this quarter, no matter what the score is. Keeps them focused. Let’s keep it going, they’re gonna have a purple patch but we gotta keep doing what we’re doing. We don’t play to no narrative

  32. JigglyBush

    There’s just no words strong enough, that first half was sublime. Defensive masterclass by the entire team.

  33. alabastergrim

    Our team has so much depth, it’s incredible. People can sub in/out and I’m still confident in our ability to play.

    Keep it up!

  34. darulez8

    Don’t even know what to type I’m so happy

  35. IllumiXXZoldyck

    The switch-ability of this team is a thing of beauty.

  36. Naughty--Insomniac

    Murray better get a hefty fine for that shit. Should get a suspension honestly.

  37. JoeCool77765

    Chat who here’s favorite player is Robert Covington

  38. Flat-Produce-8547

    Confused why the fuck  Murray didn’t get a technical for THROWING A HEAT PACK ON THE FLOOR DURING PLAY that is all
