NO SWEEP TONIGHT BOYS.
ANT IS A FUCKING SUPERSTAR STAR!!
NAW was UNREAL on defense and ABSOLUTELY CLUTCH in OT. We’d be dead in the water without him.
Props to KAT for drawing all the fouls he did. His attacking was really big tonight.
Props to the bench for finally show up. Denver’s role players finally blinked, hopefully that affects their confidence going into the next game.
WOLVES IN 7
Didn’t give us much hope of doing anything in the series without Jaden and Naz. I’m just happy we took a game from the 1 seed.
Next year is the year we need to make the leap.
…
Actually fuck that let’s go win 3 more.
HIDE YOUR BROOMS
WOLVES BACK!
Never in doubt lads
Never in doubt.
WOLVES IN 7
Never a doubt!
Now let’s go win it in 7
They’re playing the awoooo at Target Center! Wolves in 7
Ant is 21 years old.
~~IF~~ NECESSARY
The Minnesota Ants
NAW needs to start ALL games from now on. He is clampin jamal bro.
Thank God for Ant. We got a real one here.
if you don’t like that, you don’t like wolves basketball
ANT IS A SUPERSTAR
Jokic 41/6 wasn’t enough for the gentle sweep. Wolves in 7
Get swept??
​
HELL NAW
​
WOLVES IN 7, NAW MVP, GOBERT A FORCE, ANT IS HIM.
Ant in 7
Edwards is gonna get most of the attention and rightfully so, but this game wouldn’t have been close without NAW, Rivers and Gobert in the fourth quarter. NAW was huge with his defense on Murray, and getting playable minutes out of the 4th guard spot from Rivers is also really important because McLaughlin and Nowell are both unplayable.
Also shoutout to KAT for drawing 10 fouls on the Nuggets. He didn’t score as many points as last game but mostly held up defensively by his standards (ie didn’t get exposed by Bruce Brown and Jeff Green over and over again) and I thought mostly played within himself offensively at least compared to his last couple games.
Jake Graphs spoke it into existence.
WOLF PACK ^your ^bags ^baby ^we’re ^going ^to ^Denver!
I don’t care anymore WOLVES IN 7!
Wolves in 7 👀
Ant stole the ball from Braun and then walked straight off the court into the tunnel. Wolves in seven
Ant at 21 has already cemented himself as the best player since KG. He will bring us to the Finals one day
NO ONE SWEEPS THE MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES
Even with jokic getting away with murder all game, ant willed us to a win.
Most normal twolves game
NAW is a fantastic energy guy. I love him
AWOOOOOO
⭐️ Play In Champs
⭐️ Not Getting Swept Champs
I want KG sitting behind our bench on Tuesday
NOBODY COMES INTO OUR HOUSE AND SWEEPS US.
Thought Rudy was immense tonight on defense.
Gotta stop with the Q4 meltdown.
NAW was huge in OT
That cross over and 3 by Ant is gonna be replayed for years to come. Shades of Jordan.
Also, give NAW props. His defense on Murray was unreal.
WOLVES IN 7 LET’S GO!!!!
Shouts out to NAW and Rivers tonight yo. Played yuge
Man, that Conley/NAW trade keeps paying off
One guy who deserves massive credit as well – Austin Rivers. Came off the bench, hit big shots, played smart. I haven’t seen that guy play in a month, and haven’t seen him play well in 3 months. Big minutes
The Minnesota Timberwolves now have the longest active playoff winning streak of all of the 4 major Minnesota professional sports teams.
Let that sink in.
How did that blatant elbow to Rudy’s throat by Jokic not get called?
Rivers over lil Mac for the rest of the series.
