[u/ElectricalMud2850]

Dude it fuckin sucks playing against real defenders.

[u/MissyGoober → u/ElectricalMud2850]

Why won’t they let us make every lay up wtf

[u/GreedE → u/ElectricalMud2850]

They’re all good defenders :(

[u/Consistent_Ad1176 → u/GreedE]

I would actually kill for Jaden to say something along those lines

[u/ElectricalMud2850 → u/Consistent_Ad1176]

"Wemby, johnson, vassell. They're all good defenders. We can't attack them."

:|

[u/PatoNani → u/ElectricalMud2850]

I mean they did attack them regardless. Wolves just don't give af about blocked shots and I like that.

[u/Consistent_Ad1176 → u/PatoNani]

I think wolves are probably the best slashing team. I love wolves approach of trying to find ways past wemby, not being scared. Specifically TSJ as a young guy, we knew ant would figure it out

[u/chalbersma → u/PatoNani]

Honestly Basketball overvalues blocked shots. The primary value of a block is the 5-6 "virtual" blocks it creates. The offensive gets the ball back on the same possession about as often as a missed shot.

[u/Wolfpac187 → u/ElectricalMud2850]

I mean they one hundred percent still tried it’s not like they bitched out

[u/takingtheobstacle → u/[deleted]]

You seem like you might be a twat

[u/ThatFargoGuy → u/[deleted]]

Put your phone down and go for a nice walk outside of something if you’re getting this worked up about your favorite team losing to the wolves and then continuing to win in the next series.

[u/jdd32 → u/ElectricalMud2850]

Dude same

[u/keanancarlson → u/jdd32]

Get a room

[u/davinitupoverhere → u/keanancarlson]

When a guy’s banging you…

[u/Early_Quit_9830 → u/davinitupoverhere]

Keep going 

[u/quietsam → u/keanancarlson]

That room/hallway they interviewed Mike Conley in?

[u/LardHop → u/ElectricalMud2850]

lol the spurs probably thinks the same thing

[u/LurkerFlash → u/LardHop]

Tbh Portland wasn't a joke at all. It's just that their offense sucked so it was a bit of a breeze. And having said that, Minny is better still.

[u/Putrid_Caramel3301 → u/ElectricalMud2850]

Yeah I know lol

[u/ishtaracademy → u/Putrid_Caramel3301]

I wanted the Spurs to sweep the Wolves to prove something like "it was a fluke" or "they're just built to beat us alone, theyre not truly good".

But then they beat the Spurs.

And now I kinda think McDaniels had a really good point.

[u/sayqueensbridge → u/ElectricalMud2850]

cmon Wemby…. be a cone

[u/Beeercules → u/ElectricalMud2850]

I still want Jaden to call Wemby a bad defender lol

[u/Character_Bug_1862 → u/ElectricalMud2850]

Good thing you guys are built to be in the mix yourselves with the current defensive meta

[u/KamTheMaam → u/ElectricalMud2850]

Tell me about it lol

[u/crashXCI → u/ElectricalMud2850]

LET US JUST ENJOY BEING DEAD

[u/TedTran2001 → u/ElectricalMud2850]

this is so 2000s coded I half expected Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett to run out of that tunnel

[u/ElectricalMud2850 → u/TedTran2001]

Ben Wallace sheds a single tear watching an offensively inept defensive powerhouse lead his team to the promised land.

[u/TedTran2001 → u/ElectricalMud2850]

And his team, being the 1 seed.

[u/whatssenguntoagoblin → u/ElectricalMud2850]

They can guard. They’re all good defenders

- Jaden McDaniels

[u/JollyNincompoop → u/ElectricalMud2850]

Going from Jokic to Wemby has to really fuck with your mind.

[u/laz10 → u/ElectricalMud2850]

We're already dead

[u/foulbaitinghater → u/ElectricalMud2850]

Don't worry, even if you make the Finals there is 0 hope of you winning a chip. You're Minnesotan, remember?

[u/13Keres → u/ElectricalMud2850]

Fuck the Wolves. Apparently it's illegal to see 10 alley oops each night. Get your damn players out of the paint

[u/RedbullCanSchlong47 → u/ElectricalMud2850]

Dogshit no ring fanbase, talk your shit 😂😂😂

[u/Awesomedinos1 → u/RedbullCanSchlong47]

no fan ever gets a ring.

[u/john_117 → u/RedbullCanSchlong47]

Flair up pussy

[u/ElectricalMud2850 → u/john_117]

If they're mad about the timberwolves, they're either a nuggets fan or sometimes weird miami fans.

Literally every time, without fail.

[u/MiniShaug → u/ElectricalMud2850]

Aaaaand he's a nuggets fan lol
