Best played game of the year all around. If Ant plays like he did today on offense the wolves can win a title. Just special from him tonight

I get that any win on the road is a good win, but the Bucks were missing an absolute stud in Lillard and honestly I thought the crowd and Bucks looked kind of listless from the get-go.
Gobert was just incredible on both ends. Had a hot hands night and was even making some shots and moves we don't usually see out of him. Anytime I see Ant get an assist to Rudy, I smile. Doesn't happen enough.

We are really talented, we just need to grow up. The team I watched tonight can beat any team in a best of 7. Not saying they will win a title this year, just that it's possible.

I don't really know that I can argue with any of these grades, but this is how good we were tonight...the only guy to not get an A was a +20!

I think you’re right Cool. The three biggest questions for me have been: (1) Is Ant ready to be the best player on a championship team? (2) Do we have enough offensive firepower off the bench? (3) Do we have a reliable backup PG who can run the offense and protect the ball when Conley’s not on the floor.
I think the Morris acquisition goes a long way towards addressing questions 2 and 3 if he’s healthy and back to his form from previous seasons. He’s a very good perimeter shooter and has a great assist to turnover ratio. We’ll no longer have to rely solely on Naz for scoring punch off the bench and we can avoid a significant drop off when Conley’s not playing. If Ant plays like he did last night, then perhaps my thesis that this team isn’t a true contender this season will turn out to be wrong. I hope so!

The one thing that gets me excited for the wolves championship prospects is there are only 2 teams in the NBA that have 20 wins against over .500 teams and that is the Celtics and the Wolves and no other team in the NBA has more than 16. Wolves are 1 of 3 teams with 11 or less losses against over .500 teams this year and that is the Celtics, wolves and Thunder.
Wolves have played really good teams really well this season
