I'm not worried about making history, I'm just worried about making it to game 6.

I like to see "Do or Die Part 3 - The Equalizer"

One game at a time! Take care of Business and let everything else take care of itself.

2 things can be true

Cant make history without winning game 5 first to get it to 6

For sure, I’m just trying to keep it at one game at a time mentality. Not that it really matters for fans.

Which odds were worse for MIN winning a series?

A. Down 2-3 to the Nuggets, and DEN had won three straight, several blowouts?

B. Or down 1-3 to the Mavs, all close games, and MIN had just won the last one?

Both are long odds. I think I’d lean toward the DAL situation as harder, winning an extra game, but this isn’t impossible.

One kewl bit of history, Kyrie was undefeated in close-out games.....until the T-Pups happened in game 4 of this series. Nice Job !

Will be a tough one. I expect Luka ( what a crying baby) and Kyrie to be on top. We need all our starters to play like last game, bench to be efficient, KAT hitting shoot ( and stop complaining...), Mike to carry the ball ( 10 of the 14 TO came from ANT-KAT last game, Mike got 0...), Rudy to give an extra effort on rebounding. Nice challenge, it will be fun to watch. Will probably watch it early morning in France. Go Wolves!

Super nervous, hope we go hard and bully them attitude wise like Rudy was doing all game 4 lol, show them we arent afraid. But more importantly stop playing stupid like most of series. One game at a time mentality, trust your teammates and be aggresssive on offense. Kat need to show up same way, and its clearly easier to attack them now with no Lively (plus less 2nd chance points for them), that rookie was so important for them its insane.


Also something I havent said all season, this game needs as much Kyle Anderson minutes as humanly possible.

Yeah, we need to keep pressuring them with little physical bumps, shoves etc.

Which is more likely, Wolves come back from 0-3 or the Wolves actually get the favorable whistle in a game?

Today we have to go out and bite. It should be the game where the referees allow us more in defense. The NBA is interested in having a Game 6 on Saturday.

A win gives Minnesota its first June game in franchise history.

2004 WCF Game 6 was played on May 31.

Next closest the franchise has been to June is actually 2020-21 after COVID, when its last regular season game was May 16.

Sounds like Conley's questionable status is closer to like when he missed against Denver....TBD

Lively active too

The Timberwolves have won each of their last 10 Thursday night games.
