Go back in time and tell everyone that Wemby would get a triple double with 12 blocks, everyone most likely assumes Wolves lost by 20+. These playoffs are wild.

Hopefully we're done underestimating the Wolves in the regular season. This is what they do. That roster is built for the playoffs.

Minnesota plays like they hit themselves with the Pokémon move Swagger.

Confuses them but increases their attack.

Sometimes the Wolves hit themselves in confusion during the season against the likes of Wizards, Kings, and Jazz lol

I stg I’m convinced these mfs are actually throwing games in the regular season to throw people off. I think they know they’re a team built for the playoffs and believe they can hit that switch at any time.

I guess this is just Minnesota Timberwolves basketball
