Let's make Jokic happy by sending him home early to his beloved horses

Ant and Kat both scored 27.
Rudy’s jersey number. On the day his son was born.
It’s like they planned it as a tribute.

I am beginning to wonder if Nori is going to use this as a springboard to get his own head coaching job.

I really think it was! Never have I seen a complete game like this on the road when we really needed it. Amazing. Go Wolves.
We put on a defensive clinic: I've been following basketball (Nba and Europe) since I was little (I'm 35) and I can't remember a defensive game like that from memory. Asphyxiating and suffocating throughout the game. Literally fantastic.
I watched the entire game on tape and to be honest, when I didn't see Rudy I was worried.
When my one-year-old daughter grows up I hope she will go out in the evenings with friends like McDaniels and Naw: nothing can happen to her.

It’s not like Finch isn’t on the bench…
Remember when Luke Walton was the hottest coaching candidate - even though Kerr was with the team every day of the season?

As long as KA does such little things such as off ball screens, DHO, etc, AND competes in defense, I am fine

I think getting the spotlight on a team where the coaching looks great is a pretty good selling point for open head coaching vacancies.

Yep. He deserves credit for all of that. Even as frustrating as he is.

Thank you. Wolves. My series bet (MIN +1) is now safe (i doubt you can’t get to 3 wins, worst case scenario that you still manage to lose the series) and i can just relax the rest of the series. LOL

I'M IMPRESSED!!!
I also got to say that some of your players in Game 1 looked like they had the "deer in the headlights" look on offense in Game 1. Players Like Edwards who can tell lives for this type of spotlight helped the rest of the team snap out of it. But this Game 2, your guys are not nervous anymore. They are living it up.
You guys are going to be good for a long time and quite possibly win the whole thing this season. The only teams that truly stand in your way is OKC and Boston. And even if you guys come up short this year, the future is bright in Minnesota. This team is likely going to be in the Finals either this season or next.
Wow! Pithy comments from an outsider. Thanks Shem. It's nice to hear. Wolves are for real. It's hard for us to believe at times too.
We are for real.
Never doubt it. You guys are for real and will be for a long time. I'd be surprised if you guys never get an NBA title with this group.
For those who have been fans of the Wolves during all those frustrating rebuilding years, but stuck by the team. It's you guys who deserve it the most. Not the bandwagon fans who decided to hitch on when the Wolves started to finally win. All I can say is enjoy these moments. You'll remember them forever.

This might be the best T-Wolves game I've ever watched to be quite honest. A masterclass tonight.
Cheers

The baby was born this morning. The game is 9pm local. You don’t think he could have stayed for several hours than gone to work?
These are human beings, not video game characters.
I’m sorry that you feel your fandom is more important than his family, but it is what it is.
As a dad myself, there is NOTHING on god's green earth that compares to the birth of your first child.
I support Rudy missing the game 100%.
Congrats to Rudy and props to the new mama, it cannot be easy to give birth to a baby Gobert.

I think it was simply they broke the Nuggets spirit right at the start
Yes. I heard some stats that if a team loses Game One, they are the overwhelming favorite historically to win Game Two, and usually by a large margin. Then, when they heard Gobert would be out, I don’t think they expected this kind of effort from the Wolves. Right out of the gate.
You mean if the higher seed loses game one they become a huge favorite to win game two right. A lower seed wouldn't be an overwhelming favorite to win game 2.

I didn't get to hear Chuck's commentary. Did he say anything like we won so easily because Rudy didn't play?
I went to YouTube and found what Chuck and Shaq had to say. Nothing, but positive. Chuck finally said he was wr wr wrooonng.

I don't recall for sure what he just did when I posted that. I think it was an offensive put back.

03-04 was like a bunch of toddlers sucking their thumbs compared to this. This defense is what happens when the best defense in the league decides to turn it up a notch, and accidentally turns it up 3 notches into overdrive. Thank god we have 3 days off to recover, these guys are gonna be EXHAUSTED!!!!!! It is even more incredible that they are doing this a mile above sea level.
Winforlose, this is the best game I've ever seen from our Wolves! I've never seen defense like this from a Wolves team. This is so foreign to me. I'll take it. I'm thrilled!
We are deep and well coached. And to do this without Rudy is so amazing. It shows you how good we really are.
Even Kenny, Shaq, and Charles are impressed saying we win this in 4. I say 5 or less.
We are a formidable team for sure!!!!! Good enough to go all the way.
I find it hard to believe they all said we would sweep. Is that for real?
