TWolves Hoops

@Zellow6 @MagicJohnson Vando is the only guy who'll guard him without help, most likely. Anyone else on him is gonna have gap help behind them or sending two guys at him.

I’m scared for my Lakers because the game’s most exciting player, superstar Anthony Edwards, is a matchup problem.

@KaitMBee This is the vibe. Tomorrow, it begins.

@DaneMooreNBA He is one of the most misunderstood basketball players in the world. I have so much respect for him and his approach to the game.

Rudy Gobert when asked about the narrative surrounding small ball lineups and that being a problem for him to defend. "Obviously they've seen that clip of the stepback a thousand times. So did I. That's one clip amongst a lot of other defensive possessions. I know a lot of people don't like the numbers, but over a long period of time, the numbers speak more than eye test... Let's see what happens over the course hundreds and hundreds of possessions." It does take a lot more for a defensive clip to go viral? "It does. Especially when I'm a part of it."

@The_Barftender They mad The Wolves beat Denver last year, and LA couldn't the past 2 years.

The amount of glazing the media is doing for the Lakers is hilarious. Yall don't watch the games and it's showing I swear we playing the 2001 Lakers with Shaq and Kobe while Phil Jackson is coaching

@DaneMooreNBA This team has the personnel to run double drags, elevator screens, off ball screens for Ant, anything more advanced really. Could that solve some of the late game execution? If this is anything like the Dallas series, it'll come down to execution in the 4th quarter.

Anthony Edwards when asked about the overwhelming majority of people picking the Lakers in this series. "I love it. Yeah. Why? "I just love it. It's dope. I love the fact that everybody want the Lakers to win. That's how it's supposed to be. They don't want the Timberwolves to win. I get it."

@The_Barftender Finch needs to make sure one of those 2 when they're in are always one pass away from Ant, so they can't send 2 at him as easily.

It’s a legacy defining series for Donte and Naz Reid

@JaceFrederick Best way to stagger their minutes, start DDV.

Finch suggested the possibility Minnesota may slightly stagger the times in which DiVincenzo and Reid enter the game Noted they both come in looking to do the same things, can almost cannibalize one another a bit

@JaceFrederick Was Bones Hyland scout team Reaves?

TSJ was LeBron James today for Minnesota

@BleacherReport @jovanbuha This is pretty normal, Wolves used Luka Garza as scout team Jokic last year when they played Denver.

The Lakers used Shake Milton and Bronny as Anthony Edwards on their scout team today, per @jovanbuha The Wolves have been using Joe Ingles as Luka in their scouting groups 👀
