Life was sweet when you had Austin Reaves and Dlo guarding you Jamal. Whole different story now😭😭😭
-
That fade away shot by Edwards is like watching Kobe and Jordan such finesse.
-
Never in my life I would ever thought I see these 2 teams match up in playoffs.. I'm a 80s baby and growing up Nuggets and Timberwolves was 2 teams so trash they never smell the playoffs... what an Era currently
-
What’s underrated is That ANT-McDaniels-Gobert defense is a UNIT! McDaniels giving Murray fits. The way McDaniels and ANT are physical and cause havoc on the perimeter is so refreshing to watch
-
You know your defense is legit when you can hold Denver below 100pts.
-
Anthony Edwards is built different. He is incredibly gifted and durable. The 22 year-old has played in 92% of his regular season games. No load management required for this man.
-
Ant's fake-out timing and court awareness before a mid-range jumper is elite. This dude is only 22 and he's becoming a superstar before our eyes.
-
It's been a long time, seeing that MJ & Kobe Fade away in edwards. The will to win is alive on that kid. Plus the midrange of MJ. so sweet.
-
Anthony Edwards is really becoming the face of the league right before our eyes and I’m here for it 🔥
-
Anthony Edward’s WENT OFF! 43 points, 17-29 from the field, 3-7 from three, 7 rebounds, 2 blocks, 3 assists, and, 1 steal!
-
as a Timberwolves fan for years, I'm so glad they're doing so good!
-
That Game Was Insane! Both Teams Went Off.. This Is NBA Basketball 💯
-
I swear. Ant man's fadeaway jumper is Jordan-Kobe 2.0ish. Straight fire
-
FUN FACT. The GM of the Timberwolves was the same GM that got mpj and aaron gordon for denver. He single handedly built the two best teams in the NBA
-
When I was a kid I always felt bad for kg didn't see the post season that much. They were bad. It's cool to see them put this young team together and they're legit..Celtics fan giving love to that wolves .please put jokic out
-
Pretty excited to see how far Edwards goes. He flows and moves so smooth, I feel like I'm watching 90's basketball again💪
-
Edwards is the chosen one. His teammates are playing with the ferocity of their leader. SERIOUS SERIOUS TITLE CONTENDER.
-
The difference between this series now and last year is INSANE. Minnesota’s growth is crazy. This is gonna be a good series
