GG Wolves, Edwards is an absolute demon we had no answer for him. that defense is no joke either
It’s insane to watch Edwards, I can’t believe we got this guy.
Wolves Back
This Wolves team is honestly legit
Ant is a problem
Edit: It’s a compliment Wolves fans lol
That was fun
Naz Reid
Excited to hear Celtic’s fans thoughts on the game. Specifically the Tatum/JMac matchup, because it’s clear Tatum HATES being guarded by McDaniels (who walks the line between fouling and not on basically every possession)
LFG awoo
https://streamable.com/6r48od
I LOVE THIS GODDAMN TEAM!!!!!!!!
LFG!!!!!!!!!
Anthony Edwards is the man
Jaden McDaniels
Edwards is a ridiculously good leader for a 22 year old. Some of those 1v1 defensive stands vs Tatum and Brown *with 5 fouls* were straight up incredible
Wolves offence is pretty ugly down the stretch. Big improvements needed, and poor Towns, he really tries but he is struggling.
#1 Defence > #1 Offence
Biased ass refs fouling KAT out to help Minnesota win
it felt like there were a TON of real world minutes in the back of the 3rd with neither Tatum nor Ant in the game and it was very weird, even if the reasons made sense for each of them
also wow at Jrue’s poise down the (regulation) stretch. I don’t know that Smart wins this for them, and I know Brogdon doesn’t.
though maybe Mike Conley does 😏
why didnt the celtics call a timeout during that ANT run lmao
Edwards got that dog in him man
Honk if you love Naz Reid. Honk twice if you love Naz Reid and Anthony Edwards.
you love to see when a superstar outdogs the other’s teams superstars
Ant was phenomenal, but his defense with 5 fouls left halfway through the 4th, and not fouling out in OT, is insane.
Gobert is DPOY Gobert again. Timberwolves fans didn’t see this guy last season.
Also s/o to Jaden McDaniels. Great defense and massive shots when it mattered.
Timberwolves now delivered the first losses to both the Nuggets and Celtics. Will probably continue to be #1 defense after this game. They might be legit
IS THAT ANOTHER BANNER?!
Wolves just put the league on notice.
Anthony Edwards is in fact, that guy
GREAT D! NICE ANT MAN! KAT IDK ! GREAT WIN !
That TWolves defense is legit
MacDaniels also played Tatum really well, Tatum wanted the switch whenever he could get it which bogged down the offense because they’d try to spend so much time getting it and the Wolves weren’t letting it come easy
I also feel like everyone forgot about Porzingis from the 4th quarter onwards, but Gobert was also playing him really well and you can tell that everyone was bothered to attack the rim when Gobert was inside. I was honestly shocked because I feel over the last few years we’ve kinda bullied Gobert, but he was really active tonight. I’d honestly say he was their 2nd most important player tonight after Edwards(but I will say I was happy whenever he was at the free throw line).
Really fun game that was close the entire way through
Damn… wasn’t even a fluke. They played great
Ant was unreal
Jaden was unreal
Rudy was unreal (except from the line)
Denver does _not_ want the TWolves in the first round jesus
Ant!!! Don’t be fooled if you didn’t watch the game it wasn’t all Ant. Jaden hit BIG fucking shots. What a game
Rudy is a +24 in a 5 point game Jesus Christ
GG Wolves
Ant is amazing
Your defense is terrifying
Held the Nuggets to 89, and the Celtics to 109 in OT. The TWolves defense is fucking legit folks
Yeah we deserved to lose. Respect to Minnesota
y’all who were trying to say Anthony Edwards doesn’t have MVP potential are really fuckin quiet now. he just out-dueled Tatum.
gg Celtics, that was a damn good game. y’all are definitely the team to beat this year.
If the Wolves are gonna beat top teams while KAT is having a meltdown game… they just might be for real.
Sometimes single game plus/minus lies.
Edwards +18 and Gobert +24 in an overtime win is no lie. Wolves are damn good when they have those players dominating their respective ends of the court.
Funny, everyone calling the Gobert Wolves a bust and how bad of a decision it was when KAT only played 1/3 of the season and their first round was the Nuggets
Lost in KATs very bad offensive game is him having a very good defensive game.
rudy was soooo important too, i know everybody’s gonna clown him for the poster but he was for sure our second best player tonight
Minny defense is insane when Edwards starts hounding then Gobert mans the fort leaving very little room
Wolves defense passes the test for the second time. They did it against DEN. And now BOS. They are the best defense to start the season. Anchored by r/nba favorite player Rudy Gobert. He’s been great and is on his way to another DPOY.
Even with OT the Wolves held the number 1 offense to under 110 points. Rudy Gobert needs to already be -1000000000 odds to win DPOY 7 games in
If Rudy Gobert has million number of fans I am one of them.
If Rudy Gobert has ten fans I am one of them.
If Rudy Gobert have only one fan and that is me .
If Rudy Gobert has no fans, that means I am no more on the Earth.
If world against the Rudy Gobert, I am against the world.
I love #Rudy Gobert till my last breath . . . .
Die Hard fan of Rudy Gobert, hit upvote if you Think Rudy Gobert DPOY, Best player & Smart In the world.
Gobert +24. Heck.
Being a Wolves fan in that arena must’ve been amazing.
I think it’s pretty fair to say Minnesota’s defense is legit
Mike Conley is gonna fly under the radar this game because of Ant’s performance, but he had some clutch points/steal on JB and rebounds.
Everyone in Mass and Minny is gonna be mad about the last 2 minutes report tomorrow but don’t let that distract you from the transcendent game Anthony Edwards just played. What a ridiculous young man
