So glad that the free throw merchant didn't make the playoffs. 5/19 garbage. Overrated player.
Bad shooting night, sometimes they just don't fall in. That's okay though, we will be much better next year.

SGA NiggaβΌοΈ
Let's goooo
Well guys it was fun while it lasted, kinda sad we finished the season like this but regardless this was an very exciting and amazing season by my Thunder. So proud of these guys, good luck Timberwolves in the playoffs. See you guys next season! ππ§‘βοΈ
Maybe next time SGA will wait until he at least makes the playoffs before posting weird poems on Instagram talking about proving the haters wrong
OKC(OKay see you in Cancun)π -from a mavs fan
SGA carried them as far as he could this season. However, come next season SGA, Giddey, Chet, Williams and Dort are gonna be a force to be reckoned with.
Nuggets in 4
I think this is the first time in nba history there was no upset in the playin (the top 8 seeds made it)
69th
LETS GO WOLVES!!!
Is it just me or is the audio just that dogshit?
They not gonna get swept
I thought Minnesota played excellent defense against OKC. If they can play this level of defense against Denver that they played against OKC, then they have a pretty good shot of maybe winning two games against Denver.

Thunder has a smaller lineup(they don't have a true center that will protect the rim) than the Lakers and good thing the Wolves was able to capitalize it with their size advantage
Pat Bev and the Chicago Bulls ard eliminated for the 8th seed while Minnesota Timberwolves are in the Playoffs for the 8th seed.
Minnesota outscored OKC in the paint 58-30. That was the difference in the game.
Wolves can pull off upset. Promise you Rudy trade will look better after first round.
This is not the first time the Nuggets vs. Timberwolves meet in the Playoffs. The last time it happened was 19 years ago, 2004 NBA Playoffs 1st Rd.
πΊπΊπΊπΊπΊπΊπΊπΊπΊπΊπΊ
the 2-time Western Play-In champs, T'WOLVES! Sad to see Pat Bev lost their game against Heat. He could have been the 1st player in history to be crowned Play-In champ from different conferences.
Ben Simmons really played good tonight we here in Zimbabwe been wondering what happened to him π’
Yo the wolves are a good team I think they can give Denver a run
Timberwolves back to back play-in champs while pat bev is flying early to cancun ππ
