I don't think we will reach the heights of a contending/really good team this season but it is really great to see us respond and get a big win after two tough losses. This team keeps showing that the resiliency is a level above the wolves teams of the past, these are tangible signs of how far we have come.
This might sound crazy, but we are so wildly inconsistent we go from non playoff team to NBA championship level quarter by quarter. For example a 13 point lead at the half against the suns in the first half to a double digit loss in the second half. In Dallas we couldn’t make the open shots even when they were sweet spot for Prince and Dlo, yet tonight Dallas couldn’t make them and we could (to some degree.) When Dlo and Ant show up and support Towns, and when the bench plays up to their best level we can win any playoff series. The problem is these things don’t often happen at the same time. The best teams find the consistency that we lack. If Finch can channel the excitement and energy of the playoffs for this young Wolves team and scheme well enough to handle the increase in pressure and performance, I think we advance to the second round maybe even the WCF. But more likely, our inconsistency and lack of size catches us and we fall short.
