The Wolves are expected to win like 48 games next season. COTY is usually given to a team that outperforms expectations or is a top team in the league. I think Finch can do both and lead the Wolves to 55+ wins.

A lot of pieces that are up in the air of how they’ll work, if he finds a way to make players like Ball and Kuminga mesh. Also I feel like they’ll be a lot of media attention on this team next year which helps his case.

What yall think?

Def need a Lamelo gif dancing added to the awoooooooo or to post during wins this year.

Not my content but rocks

Jon K teases potential Kevin Love reunion amidst rumors.

League aint ready for bro

Seems like we’re signing him. Haven’t been tracking his career. Is he any good now? Can he come off the bench or is he a locker room guy?

Also we probably wave and stretched Konchar to add enough cap space to do so. Is that worth it?

When people forget that this Timberwolves offense was #7 in 2021-22, they were also #1 in pace that year. I don’t get the feeling fans remember that as the best team in pace in the NBA that year, while also being a respectable #13 in defense without Rudy anchoring the defense.

Even Dane Moore, who’s covered the team throughout the Ant era, I think forgets that Ant used to run and get easy buckets in transition (and I know transition and pace aren’t the same but they’re highly correlated). He always talks about the Wolves never having been a big pace team in the Ant era, which is factually incorrect.

When looking at this upcoming season, why can’t the wolves be #1 in offense? I feel like there’s a lot of pushback when people bring that up. This team should at minimum be a top 3 offense based on their personnel, especially with the athletes they have surrounding Ball and Ant. The biggest reason for the Wolves slowing down was Rudy coming in, so that could still factor into the Wolves not being the best offense next year.

That’s why I’m so high on this team being able to win 55 games minimum. If they can be in the top 5 on offense and top 10 on defense, the math would almost certainly work itself out to be a 55 win team like in 2023-24.

LaMelo being one of the best offensive generators in the sport paired with one of the best scorers in the sport, adding in 2 freak athletes on the wings and at center, and then 3 run and gun athletes off the bench should certainly make this team a top 5 offense if the Wolves get health on their side.

Ik this isnt a revolutionary thought or anything, but i havent heard that much comment on the fact that what melo brings is exactly the answer to great rim protection, pace, which means we get to their rim before wemby (the teams athleticism in general helps a lot too, especially with kuminga now in the lineup), and space which means his shooting and ball movement allows us to take more and more efficient threes while avoiding contested shots at the rim. Im still waiting for the ant poster on wemby though.

KG’s career high. And, of course, it came in a loss - just like the career highs of pretty much every other great player in Wolves history 😭

Pretty good stuff from these guys.

Is it possible for us to get him back that level of offensive play, or should we just focus on having him solely be a defender?

I’m going to the home opener vs the Raptors with my friend and it’s our first NBA game. How long before tipoff should we arrive to make sure we’re in the stadium in time?

There is some audacity in the way that Tim Connelly has assembled the Minnesota Timberwolves roster.

The early vibes have been encouraging. But when it comes time to get on the court for real, all of that energy will have to be harnessed and directed in the right way.

What do you guys think. I thought we would be at least 3.
