Relatively obscure stat, but impressive nonetheless.

The Timberwolves defense right now looks like an undeniably top-tier defense. Rudy is DPOY front runner, and they have a stable of long, athletic defenders that can guard ferociously inside and out. Entire team is bought in to being an elite defense, and they have the personnel to do it.

They’ve got an extremely difficult 5-game road stretch coming up. How they do in that stretch will tell us a lot, but right now they are head and shoulders above any other defense in the league.

Took its sweet while for Gobert to not be the albatross everyone thought he was, it seems

[–] Mikegetscalls@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Rudy Gobert deserve an apology from the entire NBA fans and media

[–] Soopstoohot@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Probably worth mentioning that one was the nuggets and one was the #1 offense Boston Celtics

[–] aimreallyhigh@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

McDaniels getting hurt during the playoffs last year killed their chances of advancing. He's an elite defender

High scoring era is about to hit the ice age in Minny

The timberwolves are the real finals runners ups

Mitchell Robinson coming for your DPOY booty

[–] zebano@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Mitchel absolutely beasts against us too. I'm worried about his and Randle's physicality down low. Thankfully yall are in the east.

They're about to throw a parade

Beginning of the Gobert redemption tour?? I’m so here for it.

[–] ProfCedar@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Spurs on Friday is one thing, but two straight on the road against Golden State is the real test coming up. Let's get it!

Wait is reddit saying Rudy is decent now?

[–] lly091@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

[–] ryno514@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

And two of them were the consensus top two teams in the league

[–] Fabtacular1@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Would love for the Twolves to pull a 2004 Pistons this year, just so the NBA talking heads who fell all over each other rushing to pile on last summer’s trade will have to eat shit.
