The Minnesota Timberwolves are off to their best start in franchise history.

In the 01-02 season, they also started 10-3 but then dropped to 10-4.

Folks, the Minnesota Timberwolves are a legitimate Title Contender and Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns are one of the best duos in the entire NBA

the fumble dimension predicted the future…

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

I hope this keeps up. Seeing the excitement of Minnesota fans on here since they took 1st place in the west has been awesome.

[–] ka1ri@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I was curious to see how the NBA community has thought about this. If it was a flukey streak or whatever. Nice to see my perennial cellar dwellers beating quality opponents

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

After decades of suffering only the most resilent bastards are left lmao

Francisco in market size is the same as the difference between San Francisco and Cleveland.

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

AWOOOOOOOOOOOOO

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

Love to see a small market thrive. As long as this team goes far in the playoffs, you gotta keep it together.

Worst. Trade. Ever.

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

Worst trade all time tho. That's what r/nba told me

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

That was a terrible trade, it just so happened a lot of other things worked out in the end lol

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

just curious, what do you mean other things worked out? Rudy is playing like the guy they traded for, Ant is ascending? These things were what the trade was predicated on

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

As it follows below in the comments, getting Conley helped a lot too. And it's not only Ant that has improved, but McDaniels and Naz Reid are great too. At the moment it happened it wasn't a good trade lol, but it has worked out in the end

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

“It only looks like it’s working out cuz they built a solid team around them all to compliment their strengths”

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

Minnesota Timberwolves goes 11-4 to have the best NBA season start in franchise history.

Longtime TWolves fans have suffered so damn much over the years—not as much as a few other fanbases maybe, but we are up there. It is great to just feel relevant again.

[–] TCLA382@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wolves fans, tell me how it feels to be good.

I've forgotten.

[–] swawesome52@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

We've only ever won two playoff series ever, both being in 2004. Since then we've had a 642-968 record. In that time y'all have won 3 rings with a 1030-588 record. You still have about 15 more years to go until you can understand.

[–] 3s2ng@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This season, KAT and ANT have been playing their roles.

They are complimenting with each other compared to the previous season. Previously, they wanted to dominate the game at the same time.

And of course, their defense is great.

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

I feel like no one is paying attention to our wolves because historically we are the worse. But also we aren’t getting the recognition. It’s been the same with the Twins as well. Vikings are good and have a immediate place to make everything look good. Target center is awesome.

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

Are the timberpuppies this years nuggets?

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

lmao and we’re “overachieving” at 11-4

[–] Honest-Programmer-39@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Ok look I love this as much as anyone, but are we not gonna talk about how the wolves have had obscene luck in opposing team’s star players sitting / being injured during this run?

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

Hmmm maybe just maybe professional basketball orgs are more knowledgeable than the reddit hive mind

[–] larrylegend33goat@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Good trades. Great chemistry. Legit team with dynasty potential

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

The D Lo trade was a thing of beauty from Connelly. He took the ball out of Ant’s hands and couldn’t run this offense unless he got his own first. Conley is exactly what this team needed - I just wish I could put him in a Time Machine.

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

Gobert is 31 and Conley is 36. Conley might be replaceable (though that is always easier said than done), but Gobert really isn’t.

They’re very good, but not sure about their dynasty potential considering two of their key players are on the wrong side of 30.

This is the Wolves' year and I'm here for it

[–] Able_Bother3163@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

With no reasoning or facts to back it up, my intuition for whatever its worth tells me ants going to absolutely run this league and take a clear top 10 all time list.

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

Gobert deserves 4th DPOY

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

Ah yes. The classic "youthful team surges to 1st seed early in the season".

[–] ProLemon26@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

We aren’t really that young outside of Ant Jaden and Naz

[–] tulaero23@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Healthy and not porn addicted is a better term

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

Jimmy vs Minnesota is the Finals the NBA needs right now!

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

We go out I'm low key band wagoning them because we owe them and it would be nice to see them cash in the receipts for handing us Steph and Wiggins.

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

Total fluke.

Nah jk they're damn good

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

Every season there’s a team that lights it up in the regular season and falls apart in the playoffs.

Congrats, T-Wolves, it’s your turn this year!

[–] tulaero23@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Remember laker fans feeling it when the trades happened like they fleeced us and got vanderbilt, beasley, dlo.

One is traded, one is injured and another is inconsistent as hell. They were celebrating like vanderbilt is the second coming of rodman.

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

Everyone keeps resting their stars against them.

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

Giving a firm upvote from a Celtics fan. The Wolves have played us tough over the past few years and you could almost feel the change coming. Always been a poverty franchise making shitty decisions, even the good players that have come through there never seemed to like it. Hoping to see them hang around and make some noise!

[–] Lol69HaHaHa@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Well lets wait and see where they are gonna be at the end of the season and in the playoffs

[–] blallen88@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I’m scared of this team and glad they’re in the west
