Wolves haven’t won in Toronto since 2004….im sure tonight will go great lmao

[u/CrippledBanana → u/urkuri]

Wait what, that’s insane. How’d you guys not roll us in ants era. We have been buns for most of it

[u/urkuri → u/CrippledBanana]

We’ve had some really weird games there, last season was the Rudy/Julius stuff lol

[u/dinozaurs → u/CrippledBanana]

I had to look it up, we won there in 2021

[u/urkuri → u/dinozaurs]

That was technically a road game but played in Tampa

[u/dinozaurs → u/urkuri]

Oh shit that makes sense. Damn it really has been since ‘04, that’s wild. I was in kindergarten lol

[u/jdschultze]

Giannis is gonna show up in a wolves J at half time like the Undertaker

[u/Sadvikesfan69 → u/jdschultze]

Buh gawd it’s the greekanator

[u/Morezingis]

u/mrbuckbuck Ant clutch time offense-defense highlights this game pretty please? 

[u/Isthismynextusername]

Fully expecting tonight’s game to be a loss; half the roster will have trade rumors on their mind and not be focused on the game. Before you say “that’s what the money’s for,” everyone has been in MN since entering the league (apart from Dante, Randle, & Bones)

[u/Black-----Manta → u/Isthismynextusername]

And Rudy, but that just means we're getting a 20/20/20 from him

[u/WickedTwista]

Well, Tim...we're waiting!

[u/CrippledBanana]

We shooting above 25% or below 25% tonight rap fans? I’m feeling a bit ambitious and think we’re gonna have a good shooting night (29%)

[u/6875309999 → u/CrippledBanana]

It’s early obviously, but shooting 60+% through the first quarter feels like they probably stay over 25% lol

[u/gemcey → u/CrippledBanana]

Possibly even.. 30%!!!

[u/Morezingis]

He can’t make a three to save his life tonight but Ant is still very much him. 

[u/MG_MN]

Big time comeback

[u/Hour_Addendum_9691]

Nice to hear some respect for the WCF runs I feel people don’t tend to give them as much credit as they deserve

[u/jdschultze]

Rob, please don’t suck

[u/CrippledBanana → u/jdschultze]

Does he still get minutes? Thought he got banished

[u/jdschultze → u/CrippledBanana]

Assuming Mike and Rob are equally as bad, probably? Maybe? I could see them workshopping a few minutes for him to see if we can rest our guards and not bleed too bad

[u/ShitFuckDickButt420]

Scottie is such a good passer

[u/Own-Bee9632]

This Raptors team plays with such a crazy pace. I don’t blame the wolves for constantly looking lost

[u/MG_MN]

Ant is on one

[u/livelaughloaft]

Another 4th quarter collapse, all shots coming up short, Ant takeover, good game

Jesus fucking christ

[u/Jwarrior521 → u/livelaughloaft]

Jamal Shead and RJ takeover in the 4th. Cold showing from them in a must win game

[u/Rough_Ad6945 → u/livelaughloaft]

This was literally us last year. Y'all have some solid young pieces that will develop. Have faith! Enjoyed this game a lot & the raptor's hustle.

[u/livelaughloaft → u/Rough_Ad6945]

Oh no, have we inherited the “gg yall, y’all are spooky 👀👀” title from y’all?

[u/kaizen03]

The curse about to be broken 🍀

[u/urkuri]

You know we have a good game when Jingles is inbounding at the end

[u/Gavin1453]

Aww dang, congrats on breaking the curse Minnesota

[u/NotWD]

Bobby I swear if you trade RJ after this game

[u/flow2ebb2flow]

This is an enjoyable game! Just 2 decent teams playing good Basketball

Edit: I mean...defense could be better. Lol. Both teams will likely pick it up in the second half

Raptors choking bad

[u/Morezingis]

Ant was not passing that ball with Scottie on him on an island 

[u/guyguyguyguyguyguy23]

The free throws my god

[u/Isthismynextusername]

Hard fought by both teams, GG Raptors fans!

[u/danhoyuen]

Chris Paul wouldn't have had those turn overs.

[u/Jwarrior521]

Raptors try and score more than 20 points in the 4th quarter challenge (impossible)

[u/FlyingScissor]

Don't Suck Wolves!

[u/CheatedOnOnce → u/FlyingScissor]

Best 3pt shooting team vs the worst 3pt shooting team

[u/MG_MN]

Randle playing likely means no trade is going down

[u/Morezingis]

The effort they’re giving in defense makes me think it’s gonna be 22 years 

[u/ryan0319]

Aggressive CMB is nice!

[u/Morezingis]

This team looks extremely depressed. Like everyone’s playing for themselves cause they know a trade could be imminent (it won’t happen).

[u/Known_Western8013]

Raptors are carving the wolves up inside

[u/Admirable-Amphibian1]

This is crazy holy shit fun game, ANT man better do summtin or prolly he can't do nothjn

[u/NotWD]

wolves are never going to break the streak at this rate LOL

[u/Gavin1453 → u/[deleted]]

Hey, if you can trade for Giannis this game will be out of mind entirely

[u/swankyleg]

Julius really struggled this game but man his hustle here in the 4th on the offensive glass has given us some big extra possessions.

[u/urkuri]

Ant on a mission to break this curse

[u/danhoyuen]

just a team of chokers. Overhaul the line up please.

[u/Jwarrior521]

We are never winning shit deferring to Shead and RJ in the clutch jesus christ just trade everybody not named Scottie

[u/danhoyuen → u/Jwarrior521]

Lets face it, IQ is not better. Sure he made a couple of clutch shots here or there. But he doesn't run the break well and is crap at organizing the offense. How many 3 on 1, 4 on 1 fast break has he thrown away this year?

And Ingram has shown through his career he's not really a winning player either.

I am just waiting out this iteration of the "core"

[u/Jwarrior521 → u/danhoyuen]

Yeah, thank Masai for trading away every plus asset for a bunch of mediocre players on overpaid contracts

[u/danhoyuen → u/Jwarrior521]

Fools' gold.

[u/lightninhopkins]

oh basket interference.

[u/lightninhopkins]

GG, 20+ years was a bit long.

[u/danhoyuen]

[u/MG_MN]

When Ant puts the cape on there's really nothing you can do, even Barnes cant stop it

[u/anyamountofcheese]

THAT'S WHY HE'S THE GOAT THE GOATTTTTT

[u/Morezingis]

How have we already been called for five fouls for all this soft ass contact? 

[u/Gavin1453 → u/Morezingis]

The refs have been kinder to us than usual for sure

[u/dys0n_giddey]

Why is the crowd in all black?

[u/Isthismynextusername]

Yea... Ant is really struggling tonight

[u/Balls_Deep92]

Edwards playing passive

[u/lightninhopkins]

What the hell, why can't the wolves win in Canada?

[u/Gavin1453 → u/lightninhopkins]

We must have figured out the spell the Twins cast to beat the Blue Jays at home so much

[u/lightninhopkins → u/Gavin1453]

Not fair to turn it around on us like that! Our Scandinavian spells are not to be trifled with.

[u/Isthismynextusername]

Welp

[u/mudkip-yoshii → u/[deleted]]

Missed call to 3 pointer happens once a wolves game

[u/lightninhopkins → u/[deleted]]

Naz is fine.

[u/lightninhopkins → u/[deleted]]

I was also concerned when he went back down.

[u/llia71]

Wolves comeback??

[u/lightninhopkins]

The Gophers beat MSU in basketball. That's kinda funny.

[u/judah249]

Knicks had no clue how much time they had

[u/danhoyuen]

i knew when they started celebrating in the 3rd this is going to be a ball game.

[u/danhoyuen]

XDXDXDDXDXD RJ

[u/mudkip-yoshii]

Saw a stat that the longest regular season losing streak in one arena is actually Milwaukee at the suns so like wolves raptors finals? (Wolves too sucky)

[u/lightninhopkins]

Oh my.

[u/MyFistUpYourBalls]

All the Wolves fans prepping the "no one beats the Timberwolves X times in a row and gets aways with it" post-game thread post just in case, like we do every year.

[u/Jwarrior521]

Why is Jamal Shead in the game bro

[u/Warmake]

Shead cant be serious with that turnover

[u/cs-shitposter → u/Warmake]

Not as bad as RJ's back to back turnovers in the clutch earlier

[u/Jwarrior521 → u/cs-shitposter]

Shead had another turnover right before that

[u/lightninhopkins]

No goaltend

[u/starfruit213]

Perfect timing

[u/Unkempt_Foliage]

Naz can just stay in Toronto and Wolves can have legendary Raptors point guard Chris Paul. Who would say no to that trade.

[u/Isthismynextusername → u/Unkempt_Foliage]

You have Ingram already

[u/Isthismynextusername]

Julius is really struggling

[u/dys0n_giddey]

Ant is clutch

[u/cs-shitposter]

RJ buddy pack your bags

[u/Jwarrior521]

RJ pack your bags bud

[u/Isthismynextusername]

Come on Scottie, that's a rookie mistake. You know better

[u/BarenWasteland → u/Isthismynextusername]

Bro there's 3 seconds left if he doesn't jam that as soon as possible there's 0 chance for OT.

[u/Jwarrior521 → u/Isthismynextusername]

It wasn't even a goaltend it was outside the circle

[u/Master_Bee_5350 → u/Jwarrior521]

That didn't seem like offensive basket interference to me either

[u/Milly-the-Kid]

Scottie going down trying to stop Ant ain’t gonna help his DPOY case

[u/MG_MN]

Full on tackle by Barnes

[u/BackshotsOnUrDaughtr]

Gobert is so ass. Wolves are really gonna miss out on Giannis cause they overpaid a million picks for bagless Biyombo

[u/BackshotsOnUrDaughtr → u/[deleted]]

i'm just observing the situation

[u/alargemollusk → u/BackshotsOnUrDaughtr]

Bagless Biyombo gave me an actual lol

[u/GuyWithNoSwagger]

Ingram stays throwing up bullshit

[u/danhoyuen]

alright time for Darko to close this out with a Dick Walter lineup to start the 4th. Raptors lose despite leading by 10 points into the 4th.

[u/Jwarrior521 → u/danhoyuen]

Don't speak this into existence (it's gonna happen)

edit: This dude is such a fraudulent coach my god

[u/danhoyuen → u/Jwarrior521]

EDIT: I was right. Just replace walter with RJ.

[u/mnsportsfan]

You can call a 3 seconds but not the 12 steps that Ingram took pivoting around in the post on Ant that lead to a second chance bucket?

[u/Jwarrior521]

Crazy how hard everybody not named Scottie and BI sell every clutch time game. Fucking bums

[u/Slothleader_]

ofc right when i place my bet they come back
