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

100%, other fan bases don't understand Minnesota sports at all. We have been dying to see a good Timberwolves team forever. Now that it's here you see Target Center packed night after night with the most passionate crowd in the league.

I dare anyone to actually watch a Wolves home game and see all that excitement and energy and then say "overpay".

I wasn't even aware people attended weeknight games until this year. It's wild seeing a sellout on a Tuesday night.
