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 11 months 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 11 months ago

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

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

Mark my words the Wolves will make the WCF

No longer SPOOKY! Now they are for real!

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

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

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

after they were getting clowned for trading for Gobert

[–] shazam482@alien.top 1 points 11 months 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 11 months ago

Bill Simmons crying in a corner right now.

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

Is this real life ?

[–] TatumTopFye@alien.top 1 points 11 months 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 11 months ago
[–] Downtown-Zebra6969@alien.top 1 points 11 months 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 11 months ago

When was the last time that happened?

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

2003-2004 iirc

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

Last years Jazz

Hang the banner next to the lakers championships

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

Rudy gobert is a good ass player

[–] Icy_Personality_500@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Lakers will win the ship

[–] Charming_Essay_1890@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

They terrify me

[–] jesuswasahipster@alien.top 1 points 11 months 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 11 months 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.
