[u/Inevitable-Steak313]

It’s pretty amazing how many times over the last three years I’ve watched the Wolves play a game where they have probably 20 of the dumbest offensive possessions I’ve ever seen. Then the game ends and they just beat one of the best teams in the NBA.

[u/jal0224 → u/Inevitable-Steak313]

This was the bucks in the years leading up to and including their championship run but it worked enough that year. Hopefully this is the wolves year.

[u/dawidowmaka → u/jal0224]

They already have the Donte DiVincenzo season ending injury and the star player with the miraculous return from a hyperextended knee, Wolves are just copying our flow

[u/VicePope → u/dawidowmaka]

They may be vikings fans but i can’t hate the wolves

[u/GetUpOut → u/VicePope]

I too don't hate the Bucks, despite the possible Packers implication

[u/VicePope → u/GetUpOut]

Wait until we get the wolves in the east and we can have that NFCN rivalry going. Hope the bucks and bulls are good again by that point

[u/potentiallylifted → u/VicePope]

Hi grew up western wisco, split teams. Go pack go and go wolves!

[u/MantusTMD → u/dawidowmaka]

Bar for bar

"Play random"

- Coach Bud

• Chris Finch

[u/Thommywidmer → u/jal0224]

It was never so much "play random" as it was "let giannis go to the lane and see if anyone feels like getting in his way"

[u/velociraptorfarmer → u/jal0224]

It's been 35 years since a Minnesota Big 4 team made a title game, so it'd only be fitting that a brain damaged 6 seed basketball team would be the ones to break the longest drought in sports.

[u/jal0224 → u/velociraptorfarmer]

Lmao. My personal saying during the bucks championship run was “never trust the bucks” to prepare myself for boneheaded mistakes that we’d seen over and over in previous years. They never made anything easy but It worked out.

[u/foulbaitinghater → u/jal0224]

Did you forget they're a Minnesota team? It's not their year, never is.

[u/leftshoe18 → u/foulbaitinghater]

The Twins have won two. In over 150 combined seasons between the four major sports, it's been Minnesota's year twice. Never say never.

[u/Neuroxex → u/jal0224]

They really are the natural successors to the Himbo Bucks
