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?

I’ll be ecstatic if we win a playoff series

[–] WembyandTheWolves@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Fucking thank you. That’s my break even point. Anything beyond that is bonus. I’m hopeful for much more but I’m also realistic about what it takes to please me.

Would have been interesting to see what would have happened last season if McDaniels doesn't break his hand.

See a realistic wolves fan

Make it past the first round first before even talking about the finals.

No hate but it’s difficult for teams to get deep into the playoffs With so many great teams in your conference

It’ll be a dog fight whomever ya’ll face but I’m really hoping to see a wolves/ kings first round match up

Would be great for both teams that have some playoff experience but haven’t won a series in what? 20 years.(id be happy as a neutral fan)

man screw that. I don't want to see the Kings unless absolutely necessary. I'm rooting for them as a fellow poverty franchise.

Wolves vs Kings WCF

[–] tenfingersandtoes@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

This please, but I worry about the Wolves being able to stop the Kings.

[–] LarryTatum@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I'd rather see both go far, I can see a Lakers Min first round with how both teams are going so far, wonder gow that matchup will go

[–] Raging-Timberwolf@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Nah let’s face the Mavs or Rockets please
