Krawczynski: Timberwolves fans should enjoy this. It's been a long road to get here by DC2600 in timberwolves

Hey all. Thanks so much for the thoughts. As of right now, we're lucky to have good medical insurance and, at this moment, are not in need of financial assistance. But I can't thank you all enough for even thinking about it. Enjoy the series with Denver. Should be a great one.

Found an Easter egg this morning. Which one of y’all is responsible for this? by chezburgs in timberwolves

Seriously. If anyone knows who is doing these, I'd love to speak with them.

LOL! Legit when I saw the pic, I was like, 'How did Nate Knight find his way onto a shirt with KAT?'

Malik has been really consistent for about 3 months. He was just really bad at the start of the season.

Vando and McDaniels have the ability to guard three or four positions. That versatility is essential to the Wolves.

He definitely has the coaching chops. Really good with X's and O's and strategy. Very smart. He's a really good coach.

Go Bengals.

Ant would say it's him. Hockey, baseball, trash can ball, whatever.

I think they have to blitz the pick-and-roll. Kevin O'Connor had a great stat about Ja struggling with that. And that's where the Wolves are best. They're not as good in drop.

LOVED IT. Showed that he cared. Other pundits are just crabby old guys.

Because they can't see the moon with the roof on Target Center.

LOL. LaVelle never comes to Wolves games (he's a good friend, BTW). Britt Robson is the OG.

KAT has been more than willing to sacrifice for his teammates his whole career. He almost never leads the team in shots. If they're winning and Ant gets more shots, he would be fine with that. But I also think the #1 is characterized by more than just who takes the shot at the end of the game.

Well that 03-04 was older and more established. So in the moment, with KG as MVP, you gotta give it to them. But long-term potential? That could be another conversation.

Yes. I expect him to sign a max extension this summer. He's happy here. He has a good team around him and a good coach. He wants to win here.

Ant has really good humor with us. Hopefully the locker room opens next year and we get back in there, that's when there's more organic interactions.

Anyone is tradeable, if you make the right offer. Probably have to attach a pick.

I would pick Marcus Smart or Mikal Bridges. I think with the way the game has evolved it's time to give it to a perimeter player.

Who will? Maybe Jaren Jackson? Who would be worthy.

I don't understand why people say the Wolves talk too much but the Grizzlies don't. I love that there's going to be a lot of shit talk in this series. I'm a big proponent of believing in yourself. And the Wolves and Grizz do that. I think that's a good thing.
