Minny as NBA champ?

[iamgine]

Their defense is unreal!

[Xiao Yao You]

Ish would implode

[j3lademaster]

I want to see Rudy with fmvp just to watch the fireworks as the world burns.

[SATAN]

I hope so now. Boston haven't been challenged. Timberwolves should give them some issues.

Gobert is on wolves not The bum

Gobert is on wolves not The bum
Nobody cares about the Wolves 4th or 5th best player which is what Gobert is.

To answer the OP, Wolves will win it all if they get through Dallas. They would give Boston and the soft bros in Tatum/Brown severe issues.

opens the door for boston to win.

[TheMan]

It would be nice seeing a team that never won a chip (Pacers, Minny) break through.

The do match up pretty well with the Mavs and Celtics and it would piss off a lot of people.

Ant's been entertaining as. Kinda rooting for Kyrie though

[Kblaze8855]

Guys like Mutombo, Ben Wallace Rodman or Rudy Winning on teams deep enough, and with enough firepower to make up for them being on the floor is hardly unprecedented. Draymond with Curry and the right group of guys can win. Chandler won in Dallas. Any number of limited bigs can and have won with talented lineups and superstar scorers to make up for them as they play their part.

The interesting thing would be seeing Edwards get the 2006 Wade treatment. He would be the story of the off-season like Wade was. Rudy would likely be the guy who has a few moments like Alonzo Mourning did in 2006 when people started asking if Shaq should be benched for him.

The question would be if Ant can hang onto that status. People took it away from Wade pretty quick when they didn’t keep winning.

[Xiao Yao You]

Guys like Edwards have a chance because they get to play with one of the most impactful players in the league

You think he's their second best player?

[Xiao Yao You]

Hes not? His teams win. Towns teams win with butler, edwards and gobert. Not much doubt hes always been more impactful

[Soundwave]

Minny is more talented than they're given credit for I think.

Ant and KAT are All-Star players and then you have a great defensive player in Rudy, you have the 6th man of the year too, good vet leader in Conley, depth is good, etc. etc.

If this same team was in a "sexier" market like New York, LA, Miami, Chicago, etc. they'd have a ton more hype, but they're getting a lot of their flowers now that they beat the defending champs.

They could win, they are definitely talented enough, but it kinda reminds me of the mid 90s Magic ... inexperience may be their undoing.

maybe, but they're a reslient bunch. when they were down by 20, multiple players were upset on the minny bench, KAT got up twice to go into the tunnel then came back. It seemed that they were unraveling at the seams, but they pulled it together and showed up in the 2nd half to win the game in a hostile crowd.

Yup the one thing they have that a lot of "talented young teams" generally don't have is they have a very good defensive bed rock to build their game on.

They have talent + depth + defense. If this team was in a bigger market, they would have a ton more hype but if they keep playing well in the playoffs, they'll get their due.

That would legitimately be hilarious. When he gets interviewed, I want him to say **** Draymond Green :lol
