Keep hearing "Rudy will get exposed on the perimeter"? Here is your 5 min rebuttal. 5 min of Rudy's perimeter defense and defense out in space! youtu.be/W0uAzXcIHho Up next: Rudy "NVMs" 😏 Thank you @Huncho_Jman for kindly sharing some of the clips in this video!

@ButtaSports Yes! When Tim Legler said Jaden was doing shocking things, shooting shots out of his comfort zone I was like ?? He's been showing this offensive potential for a while. That lean back midrange is his signature shot. I was not surprised at all by his Game 6 offense

This is what Wolves fans have been watching for years.. we knew. A long time ago. The rest of the NBA is late to the Slim McNasty 3000 party 😤

@ChristopherHine Wow, you were correct!

Sometimes, there are moments in a series where you feel as if series are truly won or lost in that game and the rest is playing out the string ... Game 4 vs. OKC, Game 3 GSW, Game 4 Lakers, Game 2 Dallas in 2024. This feels like one of those games.

@ChristopherHine 👀👀

Some clarifying news here. (Sounds like the voice of) David Hines, VP of Medical Operations and Performance, who Ant has worked with a long time, says Ant’s timetable right now is 1-2 weeks. That’s more specific than the “week to week” designation the team officially said.

@wolvestwtsara 👀👀

how cool would it be if Target Center had a green and black out for a playoff game… like layout green t shirts in every section in the shape of a tree and the rest of the shirts black to make the crowd look like the tree trim pattern on the jerseys 👀🌲

@CookedbyRiley Join us!!

Looks like I’ll be rooting for the Raptors or Timberwolves for sure, they’ve both been SO fun to watch and with the way I’ve been watching these playoff games and the amount of anxiety you’d think I were an actual fan. Two extremely likable squads #wethenorth #wolvesback

@JahlilWill People do this with the Wolves every year. They shock people and beat the team they picked so suddenly the team they beat "isn't very good". Almost everyone picked the Denver and said Nuggets were the clear better team. Maybe MN is just better than people give them credit for?

The assumption that the Timberwolves will force the Spurs series into 6 or 7 games is largely based on the overrating of Denver this year. You keep hearing about how they HAVE to be given more respect because “they just beat the Nuggets without Ant.” I consider that more of an indictment on Denver than an indication that Minnesota has elevated. You’ll see what I mean soon enough.

@Stifle_Tower27 I think Finch experiments with lineups & Wolves lose Game 1. Everyone will go "lol Spurs sweep, this is so easy omg". Then Wolves will even series 1-1 and shock everyone. Ant comes back Game 4 & they make it interesting

Spurs/Wolves series prediction Game 1: Wolves somehow win, great shooting game, false sense of hope 1-0 Wolves lead series Games 2-5: Wemby 10 blocks a game, 1,000 Vassell Midrange jumpers,Fox has Mike Conley defending him.Julius doubled/TSJ forced right 1-4 Spurs series win

RT if you love Jaden McDaniels.

@nicole_anne002 Thank you!!

@lyla5548 @allisonaudrey Jumbotron pic for ya!

Flew into MN this morning with this poster ready to howl hard tonight! 😎 Repping my Jaden hat 😤 Let’s get it! WOLVES IN 6 🐺 Thank you again @allisonaudrey for the ticket! So taken aback by your kindness, I am over the mooon

@TWolvesLead Let’s Gooo!! WOLVES IN 6 till it ain’t

It’s weird cause I still feel like we have a chance? Maybe I’m just optimistic

@SneakerReporter The crowd will help em get it done tonight!

How are Timberwolves fans feeling about Game 6 tonight at the crib?

@TimGarrisonMN Yeah they shot pretty well last time so hopefully that continues! Make those outside shots and taking care of the ball should do it 🤞🏽 Jaden needs to stay out of foul trouble

@lyla5548 Wolves shot 42% against that strategy last game. The turnovers and lack of intensity of defense were the problem. If they want to pack the paint go ahead, we’ve got shooters yet even without Ant and Donte.

Game 6 tonight is pivotal for the Wolves. They have the personnel to execute the game plan that put them up 3-1 in the series. The margin for error without Ant is narrow, but they can still attack their advantages and live in the paint. You’ve got to stay out of foul trouble if you’re Rudy or Jaden. We’ll also need a strong night from a guy like TJ, who also happens to specialize in charging to the rim. Attack the paint, be disruptive defensively, make Murray and Jokic work, and our role players have to outplay theirs. Win tonight and you live to fight another day and potentially get Ant back. Lose and you all the sudden have an uphill battle to win in Denver.

@jayl7en WE GOTCHU!! I am flying over just for this game and am ready howl!

Need the crowd on a 12/10 level energy tmr!!

@jrborman13 I went to a practice before & players were split up into scrimmage teams. The gray and navy jerseys just indicate the scrimmage teams, not who starts.

Slow-Mo in the navy jersey 💔

@NBA2K Big Ben!

Which player made you fall in love with basketball? (GIFs only)

@Hoopss Anthony edwards What's the answer?

Guess the player Level: HARD

@TessKS19 @CTFazio24 Wasn't a surprise? Most media and fans picked Denver to win in 5-6. Being down 3-1 included a game without Ant and Donte wasn't a surprise? Really?

@CTFazio24 No. They've had their issues all season and still aren't healthy so this situation isn't exactly a huge surprise. And I'd rather they get tested like this in early rounds so they can use it as a base to build on in later rounds. Also, injuries on both sides were a factor.

If the Nuggets advance vs the Wolves, does your perception of the current standing of the team change at all?

@TheNoujFOX9 We're starting the game with a WE LOVE JADEN chant, right everyone??

Jaden McDaniels is public enemy number one in Denver but I would imagine the ovation he’ll get tomorrow in Minnesota will be thunderous. Game 6 looming tomorrow
