Minnesota has some of the best uniforms this season
They're wearing the classic og uniform in this game, 80s is always best 💯
modern uniforms suck dick the wolves are wearing the classic 80s/90s uniforms which were awesome like every other old school uniform
Been waiting for this throwback for so long
Stop dick riding
This the KAT that Minnesota needs
He is a second, besides the other need to shine too, because is a team game
I feel like KAT has always been good. The main difference this season is that he finally is getting some help to be motivated to play meaningful basketball.
@@bohanxu6125 100% with you, besides he is the most loyal and unselfish member in that franchise. He is not recognized by most of the fans, the only thin those fans do, is to blame him when the team lose, and when the team win, even if he is the major contributor in that victory, they end up giving the credit to someone else.
This team might really have a chance at winning it all
Don't get your hopes up buddy. When game starts to slow down in the playoffs, they ain't beating the real top dogs like Nuggets, Celtics, or Bucks in a 7 game series. Maybe in 2-3 years.
@@kwamebrownofficial We literally gave the Nuggets the most trouble last year without Naz and McDaniels lol. We will be fine.
Haha, right! People are quick to forget 🤣 Also, if Boston doesn't get to the Finals or a deep playoffs run, I'm sure they'll dismantle the J&J era in 1-2 years. Bucks and Denver have a better longevity than Boston for each respective core.
Wolves already play at one of the slowest paces in the nba. It would actually suit them
@@Metralo Yeah you will be fine after a series loss. Ant is young and now is not his time. Wolves ain't moving past the 2nd rd this year.
I think it’s important to keep in mind that kat lost 8 family members with one of them being his Mom during covid. Almost a year later he got covid and lost a lot of weight. So two years of hell then last year was him getting back into shape and now he is healthy this year and balling.
Those Minnesota uniforms are my favorite look in the entire league.
🔥💯
We all talked to death how Ant man has finally made the jump to becoming an MVP level player, but for me the highlight of this season has been KAT finally playing tough and embracing his role as a big man. If KAT can find that toughness in him now you got two dudes who can give you 30+ a night. Now you got a solid team.
He's grown up a ton. Someone clearly got to him. He almost never complains to the refs now too. Guys been crazy efficient.
the crazy part about all of this, is that kat is not only playing big offensively, but he's also playing some good defense which nobody thought he ever would.
I get that kat and ant are the bulk of this team but there’s so much more to it than just those two doing good lol
I feel like KAT has always been good. The main difference this season is that he finally is getting some help to be motivated to play meaningful basketball.
He definitely got his flowers this game. Loved it the crowd broke into a mvp chant for him. Hope he stays motivated and him and ant continue to build each other up
If anyone is still doubting that The Minnesota Timberwolves are legit then they have no idea
They are legit but not winning a championship anytime soon. Maybe 2-3 years.
@@kwamebrownofficial It might just happen this season. Just imagine if it did.
@@JCStorm76 Better team always wins in a 7-game series. Nobody lucks out of wishful thinking. Warriors and Denver took time to finally win, Wolves ain't no exception.
@@kwamebrownofficialthat is soon lol
2nd round exit at best though
KATs skillset is just unfathomable. The fact hes not a top 3 player in the league makes no sense to me. But hes been absurdly efficient and productive ever since the Celtics stinker
Effort like jimmy butler said, also lower body strength he’s got 3 videos of him getting backed down by players he really shouldn’t have been backed down by
KAT is the pride of Dominacan Republic, that's the power of Dominica
Did y’all peep the pick and roll that led to a lob to Gobert with KAT as the ball handler. KAT set a ball screen, and popped as if he would shoot the mid range which the defender had to respect then found Rudy for the lob. This team is fun to watch.
T'Wolves are having success as a throwback team with two big men.
with throwback uniforms too
Hey now, don't forget about Naz.
every team that wins the finals is a big team.. goldenstate is the exception.. small ball is not the formula.. the media doesnt know ball so they havent paid attention to this fact
The Twolves actually have 3 great big men!
I want 3 big men in me.
So impressed with the way KAT has quietly accepted a dramatically different role to make things work with Rudy in the middle. Even more impressive, he's learning to thrive in that different role.
But the biggest thing I notice with the Wolves this season is that defense. They just GRIND you down. If you're an opposing team, you're going to have to work to put up 100. I think there's a lot of offense left on the table right now with this team and it's on Chris Finch to try to unlock it as the season goes on. But that defense is going to keep them in every single game.
ANT is a superstar. KAT is a beast as long as he plays his role.
WOLVES BACK WOLVES BACK
The refs hate Kat my goodness
Ant had 2 free throw attempts and scored 37. The wolves just don’t get many calls
It’s cuz of his form. He looks like an angry baby giraffe throwing his limbs every where in the lane on the way to the hoop. They don’t like rewarding awkwardness.
And yeah he has a rep cuz he complained constantly for 6 years straight
Best father and son duo in the league fr 💯
father/son? Ant and Kat are only 5 years apart, I can understand if it was like 10-11 years then you have a point
@@coreyortiz9913you do not get it
@@coreyortiz9913You don’t be on Social media a lot don’t you?
ant is now a proud father of his 7ft son
both of his 7ft sons
First time I’ve seen KAT dominating inside like that 😮
Edward movin around like MJ on that court
The fact everyone is still sleeping on us clearly shows no one has been paying attention ‼️ We have been a solid squad on the rise for a few years now. We was hurt all season last year and was still in the playoffs. And even then, we were hurt missing 2 of our core guys. This is what we’ve been capable of when healthy and playing together! We winning a few chips, so just settle in and watch us work!
Those throwback jerseys for minnesota elite !!
As a Celtics fan, there were a handful of no calls that could’ve been and-1s for Edwards. They weren’t giving him shit. Lol
He gets hacked a ton. He doesn’t get the superstar calls yet. But he should.
Yup it’s been like that for the wolves
KAT & Antman 🐺
This team is dangerous not to mentioned they have playoffs experience, this team has many pieces they gonna make deep run...
KAT running pick and roll with Rudy feels unfair
AT and KAT are legit
Whole team is
Towns has that awkward spastic Coordination 😂
When both Kat & ant hooping like they did yesterday they are pretty much impossible to beat . Just gotta figure out how they can get this version of them in the playoffs .
2025 NBA CHAMPIONS MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES!!!!
Ant is a monster.
you see KAT’s handle!!!!!
Funny thing is Rudy and Mike had bad games, Jaden left hurt, and they still couldn’t defend either Karl or Ant.
This is Pacers. They are small and have no defense.
Bad game for Rudy is rude :)
As always he made the dirty job and Myles Turner has an ugly 28.6 FG% instead of an usual 45%.
He still locks down the paint & makes opponents scared to attack. The stat sheet doesn’t show everything
@@edwindennis6335 Bad game in the sense that he only took 3 shots, went 1-4 from the free throw line and the Pacer scored a ton of points in the paint. He also had only 7 boards and they were out rebounding us. I said last game that Ant had a bad game, it is not meant to throw shade. Good and great players have off nights.
Man, the fact that the Blazers could've had a roster like this but they fooled around with Lillard for too long and trained every athlete to hurt themselves when they play.
Great to see these young players strive in Minnesota.
I am curious what you mean by they could have made a roster like this
he really is changing the game
Ant just grinding Triple Threat out here spamming dribble moves into the stepback 3
really, who thought obi toppin could handle Kat? 😂😂
Actually happy for minnesota after years of irrelevence and the ups and downs post getting caught in the 2000's.
Minnesota is a legit team
Why does everybody want the wolves to lose in the playoffs?
It’s not that people doesn’t want them to win but they have to prove themselves
Because theyve been hating on us for years and know they can't genuinely cheer for us😭they need to accept it and join the bandwagon🤣
@@NateGotJokes last year yall had a good team and this season is a good regular season team.. the wolves is a bother kings like team from last year until playoffs.. now im not hating I like the wolves yall are one or two pieces away from a championship
Mostly Big market bandwagon Lakers and warriors fans
@Steve-el1el see, i disagree with that because the kings were just an offensive team. The defense was not really there. This wolves team is way better because they play high-level defense every game, and if Ant and Kat play like this every night, let's say this team is winning a championship
KAT the closest thing to Sheed right now
The reason this team is built to win a championship is because Ant is the real deal and KAT as a true #2 is incredible.
Also cuz Rudy+Jaden+Mike is insane for 3-5. And our bench is the best in the league by far. I think anyone who doesn’t see us as the team to beat needs glasses. Boston the only team that might stand a chance, but their bench is weak compared to ours. When Naz Reid looks at Kornet and Hauser he sees food
In this game he was #1🤣🤣🤣
Deep bench and minnesota has the Gobert and Conley who made the first seed in Utah
50/40/90 season for kat , I wish he take as many shots as Ant and he'll easily average 30 ppg but it's whatever, as long as minnesota keep playing tremendous defense this team will continue winning
i would go ahead and say that right now kat is either number 1 option or 1b option, not 2 like it was being said earlier in the season.
KAT is changing the game 😂
More than Kwame brown that's for damn sure
He's going to win the three point contest again
@@minnesotawelit No one outbusts me ni99a
Literally! No cap. A lot of non-shooting big men trying to make 3s just to open the floor for their teammates. That's what KAT brings to the table every night.
@@kwamebrownofficial😂😂
WOLVESSSS BACCCKKKKKK AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
TWolves unstoppable right now 😮
He plays just like kobe.
the 3 of 19 the previous game was kobeesgue
The wolves always have awesome jerseys
They are finally contenders
The way these thumbnails look at first glance, I think it’s one player that score that amount
Has Barkley been confronted on the wolves. Has any one on espn talked about them? I can't find anyone in the media talking about them its all Boston and Lebron. I get it money, but this is special.
They don’t want to admit they were wrong
Wolvessss
I'm gonna do a Kanye and say lets not forget Embiid and Maxey combined for 87 points and "nba" did not post it. Shoutout to Wolves finally getting their time in the spotlight. Been a long time coming.
You have to admit it, they look good. Still think they need a year or two for Edwards to have experience doing this more often. KAT is where he needs to be. Good mix of defense and offense.
KAT is able to be a better roam defender playing his more naturla position as a big Power forward. similar to Giannis and I feel Anthony Davis is same position. Him at Center works but AD as a roaming Power Forward would be insane.
Everybody need to put some respect on my team! Haha everybody’s getting it!
Pacers GOTTA get their defense together 😮they could be such a frightening team to have to run wit in a 7game series rn. Ur 2 best players can have 35pt nights a piece tho so👀......
THIS IS HOW YOU BUILD A SUPER TEAM!!!!!!
everyday we have this monster point records, defense has to chance with today rules something has to change.
Kat Dog like Nickelodeon
Finally towns play great man.
Finally? Man has been putting up 22/9/3 on 50/40/90 shooting splits. That is fantastic numbers for a big man
@@nathanaelgion2762dude is averaging 50-50-90 in his last 20 games it’s ridiculous 💀
towns is averaging 27 idiot
@@nathanaelgion2762 yeah he's always been like that he just needed some help
If he got Embiid whistle he’d be averaging 35 a night for his career.
NBA is a fake sports league that you can’t take seriously cuz numbers all depend on if refs like you.
I guess that’s all sports leagues but especially NBA.
Edwards is the new generation MJ.....
It's like MJ and Pippen all over again. Rudy Gobert is Dennis Rodman.
casuals and media: joker, embiid and giannis are mvp
reality: anthony edwards is mvp
everyone drops a nuke vs the pacers apparently
And no one talks about them …
Damn
Cat eating this season
Everybody saying KAT isnt a winning player can shut up now. He never had a winning team around him. Look at Ben and Ayton. Those arent winning players.
1:29 can some explain to me how this nail slow fake worked...
Pacers really letting anyone score 40 on them
Welcome to Karl-Anthony Edwards Town!!!
No PIPPEN bird nest next in Hershey?
Pacers defense makes anybody look like all time goats 😂😂😂
Realistically how far will they go in the playoffs is my question
2nd round, or WCF if they face OKC in the 2nd.
They might be the deepest team in the league. Jaden and Ant have been injured for the last few weeks and they still have the best record in the league
They have a brutal next 10 games so that will be a good indicator
Good teams figure out a way to win without their star players
2nd round
@@StrygwyrBS probably right tbh
Two guys put up 73 out of the total score. 😂😂😂
77
I know we legit 🌲🐺 ik we finally Rich
Look at Ant Man 🥹
NAZ REID !
Ant-Man Is The Real Deal
Every team in the NBA now trying to break records against the pacers
They are playoff contender that's it.
this statement should deadass be an admittance to a group home for how retarded that take is.
Edward and ja at the future to top guard ( hope that to ja think that so done ) let go antman and japanom.
Just do it
Ant def playin like mj lost son shit 2 + 3 =5 who knos
Bring back 80's basketball rules with zone defense (call traveling, carrying the ball, allow hand check), extend 3 point line, I'll watch again.
Someone quick, get this comment to the bigwigs so we can get this guy watching again asap
AE reminds a bit of MJ, he is quick and explosive like MJ, but his defense is shiet and his FG is bad, but if he trains and work hard like Kobe, he can be one of the best in history.
He isn’t relentless like Jordan and Kobe, I can see that he is a little lazy on defense.
You obviously don’t watch him play then. His fg% is down bc he had 2 really bad shooting games while dealing with a hip injury
Scored 37 on 14/24, 7/10 from 3
if you think ants defence is bad compared to mj you never watched mj play
ant is not getting taken off the dribble by plumbers he can lock down kyrie and jayson tatum
Even Jordan and Kobe had a rough years in the beginning. So, in hindsight, they are great players of the league.
I am not your son!!!
John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His One and Only Son so that whoever believes in Him, shall not perish but have eternal life” God loves you no matter what, never forget that!😊😊#
Not sure I could handle that PA announcer all games. KARL ANTHONY TOWNs 20 times. As irritating as these NFL PA and announcers and their 3rrrrdddd Dooowwwwnnn.
Let's hear more about how the Wolves are flukes
lts crazy that other teams think its a miracle when one of their players score 40+ points when luka doncic does 40+ point triple doubles like its business as usual. Just sayin.
Too bad he can't guard
they’re not a good team, even with kyrie starting. you can’t try to score 130 every night and play no defense.
When Luka drops 40 his team loses😂😂😂
yeah, really love his matador defense.
Luka is going to score 77 by himself
Score all them points just for his team to loose by 15+ points
And the mavs will still lose
he can’t, he looks tired by the end if the 3rd 😂😂😂
He has Cryrie on his team bro he's holding Luka back
and give up 87 all by himself.
Ant needs to stop crying for fouls
No the refs need to give him his whistle he got to the line once in these 37 points and they definitely fouled him more than that
@@NateGotJokes I love ant and he played well last night, but he needs to stop complaining on something he cant control and focus on scoring efficiently
@@brunotoledo1563every halfway decent player in the league complains about fouls… have you watched lebron, embidd, or luka…
This don't mean shit until they make the playoffs and win a round
Wolves really gotta chance to do some special in MN🐺🟢⚪️🔥
go to 5:08 and look how goofy kat looks
Maybe you have a chance to be a professional basketball player like him.
he made the right read ur just a casual
This mf did all the points in the first quarter it looks like😅
Third
Karl ant would be a great laker
Minnesota are 1 or 2 pieces away from winning a Championship imo.
Just what are these 1 or 2 pieces then?
❤😢
