    Wolves in 4 chants in Denver. I’ve seen enough, this team is on another level.

    Start planning the parade

  2. irishace88

    NO RUDY NO PROBLEM! WOLVES IN 4

    DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS

    WE JUST PUNKED THE DEFENDING CHAMPS IN THEIR HOUSE

    WHAT A TIME TO BE A WOLVES FAN

  3. Crosso221

    Man I have watched so much shit Timberwolves basketball, and this I think is the best game I have ever seen the Timberwolves play. Just unrelenting defense to blow out the defending champs on their own floor. We held them to 80 fucking points without our soon to be 4x DPOY.

    2-0 going back to Minny, let’s finish this off.

  4. datboiwitdamemes

    At the game rn, absolutely loving the atmosphere. Good time to be a wolves fan. Take a 2-0 series lead without the DPOY, going back home to minnesota to play the next game. I never thought i’d see the wolves sweep the defending champs, but now it’s more likely gonna happen than not. Good night.

  5. Connect-Blacksmith99

    So… you guys wanna try and figure out what plane the team is taking home?

  6. It’s nice we swept the Suns but what happens when we play a real team like the Nuggets?

  7. goingtothegreek

    I’m ready to have the all time defense conversation

  8. Ttythesmallfry

    That was the greatest basketball game I have ever watched in my life.

  9. YungSzczerbiak

    This is Minnesota Timberwolves basketball. This isn’t Golden State. This isn’t Los Angeles.

  10. GopherFawkes

    I’m gonna be so tired for work tomorrow….

    ….Because there is no way I’m falling asleep off this high….

    WOLVES IN 4! LFG!!

  11. Holy shit we won. Dominantly

    We’re up 2-0 going home against the defending champions.

    What the fuck. Let’s gooooooo

  12. I wish my dad was alive to see this run. What a time to be a Minnesota fan 🐺

  13. SemataryPolka

    I AM GOBERT’S BABY WE DID IT Y’ALL

    DAD SAYS WOLVES IN 4!

  14. suckmyfish

    Rudy getting DPOY tomorrow is awesome after this win.

  15. strawhatcommander

    The vibes are fucking immaculate! First words out of KATs mouth are that Rudy is DOPY. Love these dudes

  16. mvp for me was KAT. idk if anyone else felt it but he had an aura to him on the jump ball that he was gonna fill in at the 5 and ball out. he ignited this game and showed a ton of poise.

  17. PlayInChampions

  18. MustyLlamaFart

    Yall stay out if the Denver sub that’s embarrassing

  19. NotBoeJurrow

    Hearing Wolves in four being chanted at Den is music to my ears. 

  20. Wakandaforever456

    This Wolves defense is basically the 1984 Chicago Bears. They are locking down the defending champions. Theyre playing like they know they’re the better team. The Suns had nothing for the Wolves and we all thought it was just because the Suns suck, but now the Nuggets got nothing for them. Holy shit…. They have morphed into a juggernaut.

  21. JustSeriousEnough

    That was the greatest Wolves game I’ve ever seen…so far.

  22. BiologicalBull

    Aaron Gordon supposed to be in Kat’s head but puts up a fat -33 +/- , lol

  23. notjustawhiteguy

    Man what a beautiful game. That first half especially was defensive poetry.

  24. unwinagainstable

    First half was the most impressive basketball I’ve ever seen the Wolves play

  25. The20character_rebel

    Can we take a moment to appreciate KAT. Without Rudy he really stepped up on D and had a nuclear first half that really catapulted us into the lead and we never looked back. Phenomenal performance from him and Naz off the bench too.

  26. I’ve never seen Nikola Jokić look more human in my entire existence, just an absolute defensive masterclass tonight. Can’t wait for Friday

  27. Murray with only 2 more field goals than items thrown onto the floor

  28. Jarl_Balgruf

    No Minnesota 4tg quarter meltdown like we’ve come to expect as Minny fans. Team is different than ever before.

    Lowest we’ve held a team to points in the 2023-2024 season.

    We have arrived. Wolves back.

  29. potempkin_pillage

    Shaq to Barkley on KAT: “I got four rings running people over” lmao

  30. Gripfighting

    SEASON LOW IN POINTS ALLOWED. We wrecked them more convincingly than we EVER wrecked the Pistons or Wizards. Now we’re going home, with Rudy returning, and Ant’s limitless energy to bring us to the next round. Let’s sweep the fucking champs.

  31. frankomapottery3

    I was in person for EVERY playoff game for the wolves in 04….. yall better show up this weekend for these games.  This team is MUCH better than those teams, and I’m so down that I cannot attend 

  32. alabastergrim

    “This series is a wrap. The Minnesota Timberwolves – they’ve changed my mind. They are that guy. If you’ve got that bulldog, he might as well be that wolf.”

    CHARLES ON THE WOLVES TRAIN LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO
