I honestly don't think the Wolves are in this position with Towns, Randle just brings a brute attitude that Towns didn't.

I noticed this in the past.
It's so settle but effective.

OKC can't even score on a simple zone defense against Denver's weak defensive personnel.

Rudy made Buddy kick it out and he’s on the bench!

THAT’S how good Rudy is. LOL.

Randle was a great Lebron defender too. You gotta question how Towns would do in the same situation

McDaniels is probably Wolves best player in transition...most of the others suck in transition, probably worst team in league when it comes to transition offense

Wolves are playing great. But Warriors without Curry are about 18th in the league, going by the numbers. Any second round team (that is healthy) should be crushing GSW.


The Wolves are proven winners on the road (especially during the playoffs) and have a deep bench.

I don't want to jinx it for long suffering Minnesota sports fans but the Wolves have the perfect balance of talls and wings and an interchangeable bench that is perfect for playoff basketball.

And a blossoming superstar in Anthony Edwards who is on track to be the best player in the world (or at least top 2) within 2 years or so.

if Knicks and Wolves meet in the Finals, does that mean both teams won the trade?

YES...if anything OKC's play against Denver has shown everyone just how dominant they are.

Kuminga plays with blinders on. Has no idea how to play with others. He gets the ball and it’s a one on one tournament. Can’t rely on low basketball iq players in the playoffs.

The Twolves can play some great defense. That’s the only part of them that looks championship worthy.
