This is why Conley spoke up on Tuesday. This is the kind of performance he knew was inside the Timberwolves. When he was in that film room, he turned and looked at Kyle Anderson and Alexander-Walker. Conley told them that there might come a time in these playoffs when Finch chooses to start one of them in his place.

“I don’t care. You’ve got to be on that same feeling,” he said, the flame still in his eyes on Saturday as he recounted the story on his way to his car. “It’s about winning the game. who cares how you go about your minutes, who is in and out. Everybody be ready. I just need y’all to feel that. I do not care. I want to win.”

Such an immediate and lasting impact. One of the best trade pickups in Wolves history. Minnesota Mike is the best.
“I told the guys that, selfishly, do it for me, man,” Conley said. “Help me out. Meet me at my level right now because I don’t have long. Y’all got forever, it feels like.”
“His pitch was pretty much: This might be one of the best teams he’s been a part of,” said Anthony Edwards, who had 33 points, nine rebounds and six assists in his latest playoff eruption. “He thinks we’ve got a chance, and we can’t take that for granted.”

Do it for Mike
I think this comment was specifically directed towards Kyle Anderson, letting him know he’s going to get reduced minutes. The injury just proved that giving SloMo’s minutes to NAW and Monte is the key to success in this series
Mike is an absolute boss, the anti-Dlo.
Paywall anyone got a transcript?
Leadership.
Hey Kool-Aid!
Now this seems like something worth going there to read more on.
