Timberwolves hold tiebreakers over Denver and Dallas and all three teams hold a 9-3 record.

Because of this, the Timberwolves hold the top seed

[–] nokiabrickphone1998@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This is the equivalent of Mets fans celebrating when they’re in first place on April 25th

I’m sure it’ll last!

T-wolves being #1 in a league that's going smaller was not on my 2023 bingo card

[–] JustSeriousEnough@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Imagine the Wolves being the no. 1 seed in the West and still lose to the Wizards.

[–] manbeqrpig@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Mark my words the Wolves will make the WCF

No longer SPOOKY! Now they are for real!

[–] jdjdthrow@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

What do you mean by "#1 overall in the West"??? The "overall" is generally used to refer to both conferences, i.e. the whole league.

So if season were to end right now, Celtics would have the overall no. 1 seed.

Y’all remember last year when the Pelicans were #1 seed like a month into the season?

[–] myst1cal12@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Blazers were the one seed too. The wolves seem legit though, they should be fine

[–] jayelecfan@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

after they were getting clowned for trading for Gobert

[–] shazam482@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Love it, looks like the wolves have finally found their team identity. Hope they can sustain it to the post season

[–] Kdog122025@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Bill Simmons crying in a corner right now.

[–] wilsonsmilk@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Happy for the Wolves and Wolves fans. Must feel great! Hope they stay healthy and push deep in the playoffs.

[–] VikingsandWolves@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I watched Chase Budinger and Corey Brewer start for my team and 17 years of playoff-less basketball. I'd be so happy just winning a playoff series this year.

[–] politicians_are_evil@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Probably last time this happened was one of those kevin love years with garnett...maybe that sam cassell team.

[–] RevenueStill2872@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Is this real life ?

[–] TatumTopFye@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Congratulations to the Wolves, but y’all have to shelve any talk about seeding until after the All Star break.

[–] _nordstar_@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
[–] Downtown-Zebra6969@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Worst trade in the world!!! Not a Wolves fan but I'm so tired of people shitting on a multi DPOY winner like Rudy.

[–] modeONE1@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

When was the last time that happened?

[–] Thomas_Simple@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Genuine question, when was the last time the TWolves were the 1 seed for 24 hours? Happy for them!

[–] Slim-Ticket@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

2003-2004 iirc

[–] Ligbophadese@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Last years Jazz

Hang the banner next to the lakers championships

[–] Jypso@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I remember when r/NBA did their season predictions, and the majority of the people didn't have the Wolves in the top 8 in the Western conference.

Obviously, the season isn't over, but they could have at least had the Wolves as a playoff team.

[–] NC_Vixen@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Just as everyone expected.

Not gonna lie, I expected pretty good things when they traded for Conley and Gobert. I liked the Anderson acquisition.

I thought KAT is a 4 all along, now he can be, only is a fit for Ant. I liked the Naz Reid pick.

So I thought last season they'd be a top 4 easy, only a surprise that it didn't work out.

[–] MeTieDoughtyWalker@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

They should have lost last night. They were seriously outplayed but the Pelicans kind of just gave it to them in the end.

[–] StriveForBetter99@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Rudy gobert is a good ass player

[–] Icy_Personality_500@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Lakers will win the ship

[–] Charming_Essay_1890@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

They terrify me

[–] jesuswasahipster@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The Wolves have the most talented and deepest roster in the NBA. They were the best team in the postseason last year after the Nuggets. Had they won that series, which imo was the most challenging series for the Nugs, I think they could have taken it all the way.

[–] CartesianConspirator@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

As a Minnesota sports fan I am just waiting for the creative way they blow it. It’s coming and there is nothing I can do about it.
