You know what was freaking magical about the crowd last night? People stood up & cheered when it was 101-100 unprompted. Instead of getting antsy amidst the meltdown, it was a "you got this! We'll help you!" vibe. Not cheers in reaction to a play but simply unconditional support.

If you can't enjoy the biggest Game 7 comeback in NBA history & the 2nd best Wolves szn ever then you're always going to be miserable my man.
That's not luck. Even if the opponent missed shots, it takes significant mental fortitude & defense to comeback down 20 in a road Game 7

Fun fact: In 13 games, KAT and Rudy Gobert have played over half the minutes (279) that they played together over the ENTIRE 2022-2023 season (529) due to Towns' injury. The starting 5 have played almost double the minutes (133) they played together last season (75).

This! KAT played a patient game, got crucial rebounds, no crazy offensive fouls & 19 points on only 9 shots?? That's awesome & we often take that efficiency for granted

KD calling Rudy an "all world, hall of fame, defensive player" and acknowledging how he can guard the perimeter is dope. My man finally getting some respect & it's clear KD watched the film.
Kevin Durant on making Rudy Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns work defensively: “Rudy’s gotten extremely better at guarding perimeters, guarding posts, guarding the rim. So you can’t just throw ‘em in actions expecting them to just give in. I think we’ll be strategic with what we do”

It was hilarious how Finch immediately called a timeout & subbed him out after the 2nd bank 3 🤣

For real. Also KAT IS helping Rudy, Bev. He got in there immediately & put his arm underneath Draymond's so Draymond couldn't choke Rudy harder. How is that "not doing anything"? I'm glad Conley is on the team. We would have lost the game if Bev was here. Too immature & volatile.

He was so ridiculously wide open on that last possession and throughout the 4th. France just kept jacking up shots - horrible offense.

I still can't believe that Rudy stopped the unstoppable Jokic-AG lob. This might have been the biggest sequence that turned the tide in the game. A 1 possession game became a 3 possession game
Incredible two-way sequence by Rudy Gobert:
-Rolls hard, met at the rim
-Finishes the putback
-Blocks the lob to Gordon
-Runs the floor to pave the way for Edwards
Late 4th. On the road. In Denver against the defending champs. This is clutch basketball for the Timberwolves.

Ant is averaging 32/7/6 on 56/44/83 this playoffs. He's been even more efficient than Jdub (50/41/75) on higher volume & he's been efficient in the playoffs the last 3 yrs. Ant's playmaking is much better too. The "low efficiency, can't playmake" narrative isn't playoff Ant

Conley remains one of the best perimeter shooters in the league. High quality offensive organizer. Serviceable cog in an elite defensive unit. 2/$21m is an unbelievably beautiful ride-into-the-sunset contract for the Wolves.

Is it just me or did Gobert's absence highlight how important he is to our offense? Feels like he impacts our offense more than our defense.
