The Timberwolves now sit at 13-4, the current #1 seed in the Western Conference, almost 1/4 through the season.

Rudy Gobert defensive rating: 102.3 (#1 in the league)

KAT defensive rating: 104 (#2 in the league this year / averaged 109 historically)

Timberwolves: 106.6 (#1 in the league)

If they make the finals this year; are we still saying it was an overpay?

As a Timberwolves fan, I'd say it's ALREADY worth it. There were multiple full seasons where we literally barely won as much the whole year as have right now at 13. We're relevant. We're fun to watch. We're playing for today. We're in contention. We haven't had that in 20 years. I don't care what non-Timberwolves fans think tbh. They don't get it. Most of yall skip around with your favorite players anyway. You don't know what it's like to follow a losing team for decades. Only Kings bros can talk to us. I'm not losing sleep over some basic bench players and some #25-30 draft picks. We aren't #1 in the West without Gobert. Full stop.

Now I'm gonna enjoy this season that (barring injuries) will continue to be a blast

If you've never had to convince yourself that Ryan Gomes and Craig Smith are on the cusp of becoming good then you just don't get it.

Shved just needs to be more relaxed, he’s a hood shooter I swear. Also, Derrick Williams is going to get back his senior year at UoA form, I promise.

Alexey change this face, be happy, enjoy!

Man hearing Ricky's not playing bc mental health reasons got me bummed out, dude beamed and radiated joy and dumb injuries never let him be the Jkidd or Nash he could have been.. I'm not even sure what he's going thru rn just hope he gets through it ;__;

Shved could’ve been really good if he was good at basketball
