Nothing to lose!
Victory music is awesome 👌
Let's go Wolves! I'm rooting for this young team to go all the way. #NothingToLose
You jealous of basketball players? Stay in your lane. You run track. Focus on raising up track & field rather than putting down US basketball players.
I find out that if u approach everything with joy like basketball. You actually give yourself a better chance at winning the game cuz you’re not so tensed up about the outcome. Thats how they won last night. Wasn’t really nothin to lose. Keep that same fun mentality while also playing hard it can be a good thing for them
Love these coaches man. Coaching theirs butts off! ❤️ they got they own little pre game thing is dope- I love this family- go wolves 🐺
😂 that in the middle goodnight now by ant
The Minnesota Timberwolves making history by coming back from a 0-3 deficit to reach the finals and beat the Boston Celtics. this will also make Anthony Edwards look great, beating the Boston Celtics, who are a great team but lack excitement.
Four years ago, George Floyd was murdered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, sparking protests and chants of "Black Lives Matter." During the unrest, Target stores were looted. Interestingly, the Timberwolves play in the Target Center, symbolizing their potential to achieve something unprecedented in NBA history: coming back from a 0-3 deficit, a task as challenging as hitting a difficult target.
After Game 4, Anthony Edwards wears a Malcolm X t-shirt, referencing the civil rights activist who fought for Black equality. This adds to the narrative of Edwards, a Black player, triumphing over white players like Luka Dončić and Nikola Jokić, the reigning MVP and defending champion from the Nuggets.
Jokić, known for his love of horse racing, appeared in hotels dot com commercials with a horse, symbolizing the Mavericks. In these commercials, the hotel represents postseason elimination, a reminder of the media's tendency to mock eliminated players by telling them to "go to Cancun."
In 2024, an election year with Donald Trump attempting a comeback against Joe Biden, issues of racial divide and social justice are prominent. When George Floyd died, Trump was president, adding to the sense that current events are interconnected and possibly staged.
2024 is also known as the "Kobe Year" (24). Kobe Bryant, who passed away four years ago, has five championship rings. Anthony Edwards wears number 5, and George Floyd died in the fifth month.
The Timberwolves swept the Suns in the first round, coinciding with last month's solar eclipse. One of their logos features a moon behind a wolf, symbolizing the Timberwolves' eclipse of the Suns. If the Timberwolves win the series, they would be 6-0 in elimination games on June 3rd (6/3). The NBA Finals start on June 6th (6/6), and 2+4 equals 6.
FX has premiered a new TV series named "Clipped," focusing on the former Clippers owner known for his racist remarks against black people and his players. The show coincidentally launches the day after game 7, where the Timberwolves defeat the Mavs, a feat the Clippers failed to achieve themselves. Clip is also in the word eCLIPse.
Before the playoffs began, Derrick Lively tragically lost his mother to cancer. Then, during game 3, Lively sustained an injury that may sideline him for the remainder of the series. This development could suggest that the Mavericks have lost their momentum and might squander their 3-0 lead against the rising star of the NBA and his team.
Adding to the somber atmosphere, Derrick Lively's injury occurred on the day before Memorial Day. On Memorial Day itself, Bill Walton, a former NBA player, passed away from cancer. Coincidentally, Boston won game 4 on that day. Walton had previously played for both the Lakers and Celtics.
It's interesting to note that the Lakers originated as the Minneapolis Lakers in 1948. The date 4/8 corresponds to April 8th, the day of an eclipse.
Also, The Black Ops 6 commercial's tagline, "Don't be a sheep, be a wolf," echoes this theme.
Kyle Anderson, who wears number 1, could win the Western Conference Finals MVP, with Anthony Edwards as Finals MVP against Boston. Edwards wears 5, and Anderson 1, adding up to 6.
Karl-Anthony Towns went 3/4 from three-point range after criticism for his Game 3 performance. 3 represents Mavs wins/ 4 represents wolves wins.
"After all that" KAT fouls out with 6 fouls another 6 reference.
KAT then argues with refs about the foul call… the commentator says "there's nothing you can do, have a seat! but have a great game…" sounded very double-minded. at one point the commentator sounds like he wants KAT to foul out the game and is angry with him but then he congratulates him.
that could signify there's nothing you could do about being down 0-3 but have a great series and win.
Luka Dončić scored a 4-point play off Edwards foul but missed the free throw, symbolizing the Mavericks winning three games only to lose four in a row.
This script seems perfectly set for the Timberwolves. Edwards is often compared to Jordan and is poised to become the new face of the NBA. With LeBron, KD, Curry, Giannis, Butler, and Embiid eliminated, the stage is set for Edwards to claim the title and be compared to legends like Jordan, Kobe, and LeBron. This storyline could generate substantial future revenue for the NBA.
While this is just a prediction, it's intriguing to consider these connections.
I also used ChatGPT, to write this. I prompted it. That's why it sounds all AI-ish lol
This team is the coldest! 🥶 I don’t care what anyone says… When we play like we can & should, there isn’t anyone who can beat us. One game at a time ☝🏻 Let’s goooooo!!! 🐺🐺🐺
As a Lakers fan, I’m rooting for Ant man!
This dude reminds me of so much Kobe’s mentality, no friends on the court!
Nothing to lose, all to gain. One at a time.
Nothing to lose, History to grab.
I believe!
Mavs in trouble! These guys are confident as hell!
Losing soon ……..
Celts gonna crush either of these 2 teams💪
ok shit stains they so happy 1-3 LMFAOOOOOOOOoOoOoOoOooOoOOo
Look. If they can win 3 games straight. Ya'll can do it also. Ain't over until it's over. 1 game at a time. But damn PLAY suffocating defense. Don't play the ball PLAY LUKA. Give him NO SPACE. Don't let him get the ball passed to him. Dude is slow man. Press him No space – chase him. Frustrate him, where he cannot get the ball passed to him. That's it. attack the damn rim… bigs gotta put fouls on opponent, so gotta play the paint. Play old school basketball…can come back. Gotta tighten defense, but don't pick up stupid fouls. Gotta be aggressive smart. Come on. Ya'll took down the champions

Had a good run,But this is minnesota sports and they will let you down.
I'm a Thunder fan but it's been so fun getting to know y'alls team over time. Respect to ANT as such a young leader, showing confidence even in the face of adversity and humility as he acknowledges that security guard in the intro.
After winning one celebrating as if they won everything, look at mavs and be calm

The worst thing they could do is like lose the series then pull a Kevin garnet situation or Kevin love and trade our good players away stay with this team and if anything maybe get a MVP that has a lot of experience getting far in playoffs but that’s a maybe
Hoping that this be 'Wolves in 7'!!!!
May you able to snatch a phenomenal series win from a 3-0 deficit, and make history.
