  1. I like the gritty win, feels like how we won games last year and showed we can’t be bullied.

    Ant/KAT/Rudy/McDaniels is a hell of a foursome. That’s a championship core if the other pieces fall into place.

  2. qui est rudy gobert ?

    en maths: ma solution ➗

    dans l’histoire: mon roi 👑

  3. When Westbrook DIDN’T flagrant Gobert … the last three fouls on JMac … Ant NOT getting a jumpball … there was something REAL 🐠 🐟 🎣 🐟🐠 going on. Do NOT envy whoever has to play the refs in the upcoming games, league can’t keep the cash cow winless for much longer

  4. I watched some of it.

    What I saw wasn’t pretty but playing ugly and winning… I’ll take it.

  5. If I had a nickel for every time Anthony Edwards had a legendary highlight play negated by a non-existent foul call, I’d have two nickels – which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

    I’m gonna need someone to post that block to r/nba

  6. Feel bad for Pat Bev. Stuck with scrubs like Lebron James, Anthony Davis, Russell Westbrook and going to miss the playoffs… You can tell he misses Minnesota :'(

  7. That was simultaneously the closest and most comfortable win I’ve seen in a while. It was almost always single digits but the lakers were so bad it never felt that much in jeopardy.

  8. That was again not a great game but you know what, we got the win! Wolves are 4-2 and that is not a bad record, we are still getting off to a nice start to the season. Let’s just hope we can get much better as the season goes along and capitalize.

    ​

    **AAARRRRROOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!**

  9. NBA needs to look for a fix for games dragging out because why did the last 20 seconds of this game lasted like +5 minutes

  10. I think Ant can play better than he did tonight. He’s scoring 30 with relative ease this season. Also felt Gobert played his best game for us tonight. And KAT always finds a way to get an efficient night lol. Great passing from him again

  11. Russ throwing the ball out of bounds in transition a second time and KAT knowing he got caught on camera scratching his armpit were just comedy gold! Lol!

  12. Rudy is the answer to every single issue our roster had last year. It’s gonna be an insane season
