    RUDY FUCKING GOBERT!! Dude was an absolute beast tonight!!

    TBJ has earned his spot in the rotation. His shooting plus hustle has been exactly what this team needs.

  2. pollinium

    KAT played much better than his statline tonight. I love KAT on defense. I love TBJ on the court

  3. pollinium

    It feels insane to say this when we’ve been at the top of the West for a full week, but the refs have been jobbing us lately like it’s 2016. When will they get the memo? The mulligan, Shai’s behavior, not letting Ant intentionally foul (ON OFFENSE!!!!) to get off the court, defenders literally stepping on KAT’s feet but that’s a normal part of defense and you just play on, but the world’s least egregious screen blows the play dead just to call KAT again on a rebounding technique we see Kevon Looney, Zach Collins, and Jonas Valuncunas earn multiple contracts off of? Calling SloMo for a FT balk when people leave the box early on literally every FT he’s ever attempted?

    Proud of the guys’ fight night after night, but I wouldn’t want to get reffed as a Minnesota Timberwolf if I was a free agent

    In a less whiney reaction, weird to see Rudy so glued to the paint in some of the more chaotic possessions in the 4th. That’s not our defense so I wonder what’s going through his head for him to revert to a Jazz scheme. Awesome to see TBJ ball out, such a shame it took us so long to find him minutes

  4. widekgman21

    Rudy is so good at defense its actually fucking nuts.. just completely closes off the paint

  5. gg32329988

    Rudy gobert was the MVP of that game with his defense.

    Another shout out to Troy Brown with an absolutely clutch 4th

  6. SHOUTOUT TO THE GUY AT THE HALF WHO WAS SAYING THE WOLVES WERE GETTING EXPOSED AS FRAUDS TONIGHT

  7. KojimasWeedDealer

    Most mature Wolves game I’ve seen in my entire life. Impressive, impressive win

  8. Never felt so angry than when Finch didn’t foul or call a time out for Ant
    BUT LETS GO TBJJJJJ

  9. Knightbear49

    These are wins that future NBA Champions secure.

  10. jlarkin001

    TBJ IS HERE ANT ONLY HAS A HIP CONTUSION TARGET CENTER MOST ELECTRIC ARENA CRUNCH DONT WEAR PANTS RUDY MONSTER GAME LFG

  11. Underdog_To_Wolf

    YOU’RE TELLING ME WE’VE HAD TROY BROWN JR. ON THE BENCH THIS WHOLE TIME?!?

  12. starfruit213

    Gobert was a beast tonight. TBJ should get more playing time going forward. Def thought they’d go to Chet for last shot

  13. Philelverumfan69

    Prayers for ant 🙏🙏😢😢

    Fuck the refs 🗣️

  14. SemataryPolka

    It’s been said before but I’ll say it again: This team did not win adversity games in the past. No chance we won this in the past. Shits legit

  15. Hope Ant is OK, the good news is that we have Troy Brown Jr.

  16. Master_Synth_Hades

    PLS SOMEONE MAKE A “THANK YOU FOR SAVING MY LIFE/IM LITERALLY TROY BROWN JR” MEME

    I LOVE THIS TEAM

    I LOVE YOU

  17. Rory_MacHida

    Troy Brown and Rudy Gobert baked banana bread in Josh Giddeys momma’s panties tonight.

  18. Waveytony

    Biggest win of the year, got it done without Jaden and missing Ant for the end, we’re here

  19. yourloudneighbor

    Suffocated the shit out of them the second half

  20. frosted_frosting

    FUCK YEAH THATS OUR MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES!

    TBJ clutched the f up and Rudys defense was bloody awesome.

    Prayers up for Ant 🙏

    Great fucking win! Onto the next one.

  21. Vikings2016

    best game of Rudy Gobert’s timberwolves career

  22. just_a_scented_candl

    Not the prettiest game, but man was it fun. That okc team has been fun to follow and the fact they’ve arrived at least a year, maybe two sooner than anyone would’ve expected is impressive. Nba product feels really good rn (besides the refs issue) and it feels amazing to be watching winning basketball. Rudy was phenomenal tn, as we’re probably getting used to seeing at this point

  23. goingtothegreek

    Gobert daddy cocked Chet tonight. TBJ the goat. Have a hard time believing how legit this team is sometimes.

  24. ryanfaulkner8

    Good fun game guys, hopefully Ant is okay 🤞🏼- OKC fan

  25. ConsentToTreatment

    RUDY RUDY RUDY

    ALL YOU DOOMSAYERS ON RUDY SHOW YOURSELVES

  26. Frontier21

    God Rudy was great tonight! This is the guy we thought we were getting. Man that was something else.

  27. TommyOfTheShelbys

    Next man up. It’s mainly Ant or KAT but when Ant had to sit and KAT wasn’t his usual self on offence Troy Brown Jr. Stepped up, other nights it’s Mike, others it’s Naz or NAW. Very encouraging that we’re coming back and winning games that we aren’t performing well in. Shout out Rudy for his game tonight to. Another W. Give us that u/rswany Awooooo post

  28. Rudy got tired of the comparisons between Chet and his son Wemby tonight. Decided to help Wemby’s ROTY stock go up a bit.

  29. ChanJosie

    Rudy won this game, he was a monster in the 4th.

    Finch needs to figure out 1H offense, shouldn’t have to fall behind like that.

  30. FiveByFive555555

    1. Hope Ant is okay.
    2. TBJ. What a game. He needs all of Shake’s minutes
    3. Gobert a beast
    4. Naz clutch
    5. What was the coaching staff doing when Ant was hobbled? That was mind-numbingly stupid. Call TO!!!
    6. Wow, I hate talking refs, but these refs were the worst all season. Just a poorly called game all around all game.

  31. FeelsWierdManClap

    Thunder fan here, what a great game overall, couldn’t ask for a grittier game from the 1 and 2 seeds in the west, GGs!

  32. Paulie4star

    Troy put in a fucking shift. Rudy as well. Great win.
