  1. EsotericPotato

    Ant and KAT with just an unacceptably bad game, they had a combined 2/8 good quarters that entire game.

    Thank god for Rudy, Naw, Naz, etc.

    We are going to owe so much to NAW and Naz in a few years, and it’s gonna be worth every penny.

  2. Crosso221

    Gonna go vomit after saying this but hoping the lakers can get the win today

  3. Throwaway785672

    norman powell with the 1-6 from 3 tonight ofc lol

  4. CantaloupeCamper

    #TRADE EVERYONE REBUILD AROUND OFFENSIVE POWERHOUSE RUDY

  5. In the Ant nickname battle our boy took an L today.

  6. horse_renoir13

    An ugly win is still a win.

    Seriously why do teams shoot lights out in the 4th against us?

  7. Glad Rudy was in form for this one. Needed performance from him

  8. Every win is a good win. Rudy & Mike were great on both ends

  9. JJCreates

    I’m going to pretend we didn’t play a basketball game tonight..

    Thank you Rudy

  10. kieran1017

    Good bench game. Also nice to win when Ant and Towns don’t show up.

  11. foye2smith

    Smart move by Rudy to give up the and 1 at the end. I think that technically gives the Wolves a clutch win. And fans think there’s a problem.

    /s

  12. Good they got that win. Now I’m off to watch a real number-one seed take care of business as the Thunder absolutely dismantle the media darling Lakers. XD

  13. FuckThaLakers

    A guy tried to tell me the other day that Rudy can’t be considered the Wolves’ best player bc his offense isn’t good enough lol

  14. MC_Ball_Peen_Hammer

    Rudy was an absolute monster tonight and put the team on his back. RUUUUUU THIS MAN!!!

  15. When you’re working on a group project and everyone’s feeling unmotivated, but one member locks in and keeps you on track

    That’s Rudy

  16. jademadegreensuede

    Ant looks tired, hope he gets some rest. Love that dude and I want him all right for the playoffs

  17. anupsidedownpotato

    Dumb foul at the end but rudy is literally the most elite player on our team. Always LOCKED IN

  18. Ok_Excuse_3695

    Tim Connelly’s acquisitions masterclass.

    Road trip will be good for this team. Looking forward to 6-0.

  19. goingtothegreek

    More Monte-Ant-Kyle-Naz-Rudy lineups please

    Really hope KAT starts to get back to his old self soon

    Rudy is our MVP again

    Any game where Kyle makes a 3 is a W so this counts as 2 wins

    Refs belong in a gulag

    Good bounce back game

  20. MegatronFozzy

    Imagine being a Clippers fan and losing to the Bucks w/o Giannis active.

  21. Significant-Fix-5831

    Can’t wait to see people talk about Rudy getting dunked on instead of him dropping 25, 16, and 3, on 95 TS%

  22. IceTruckHouse

    For a game we won the FT disparity significantly I thought the refs sucked. Multiple bad calls on Rudy. Kat got a phantom offensive foul.

    Overall the mature players played well. I’m trying to keep in mind Ant and KAT have a lot going on outside of basketball lately so hoping they will snap out of this funk.

    Blazers team is legitimately terrible but respect their hustle.

  23. SnarfSniffsStardust

    I’m worried Ant’s confidence might be stunted by the joint effort from the organization and fans to blame Ant for the end of close games. Dudes confident and believes in himself, everyone is telling him he needs to play different to win. Just looks like a guy who’s doing what he’s told rather than smiling up and down the court having a great time, got a lot on his plate for sure. Just gotta hope he stays resilient

  24. chesshunter09

    I love ant, but he’s playing like he’s the one that just had that baby himself. We gotta step it up in the playoffs fasho.

  25. TheFinnisher

    I watch kings and clips in person. I leave MN today. We beat the blazers. Coincidence? I think not

  26. wingnut1957

    Somewhat sloppy game. One turnover could result in a 5 point swing.

    Could have been a loss. Wolves should have won this game easily.

    Some questionable calls, but something a good team should overcome.

  27. Loukoal117

    YouTube comments say we’re fake contenders. Oh no!! I know the problems we’ve had lately but damn chill people. 43 wins and yes in there are bad losses to bad teams.

    Let’s just get to the playoffs and see what happens. Dang.

  28. jus_build

    5 games in 7 days is a really tough stretch regardless of opponent. This is when you need more of a spark from your bench. It wasn’t pretty but glad we pulled this one out

  29. NoAbrocoma5653

    Rudy has been tge most consistent out of our starters, if not the whole team.
