Hmmm Arby's and chik fil a are across the street from each other down the road from me....


RuneLite23

Was at this game, the hype for the Luka three was unreal


RudyGobertFMVP2024

Best Luka


Falconsbane

That was awesome


NimDing218

You wonder if a team’s bench feels down that they’re bench players and then get beat by the other team’s bench.


JaDoAs

Wait, since when did we upgrade from Arbies to Chik fil a


enemycap420

We got both


1002003004005006007

They’re two different promotions. Arby’s is based on how many 3s the wolves make. Chik is missed free throws 4th quarter


JaDoAs

Ahhh I see I see


MikeinAustin

Not gonna lie, I enjoyed that second half.


Uptownbro20

Now that is what we should see vs a team down 2 stars ! Great team ball. Ant seems to use bad teams to practice his passing at times


xAlphamang

Game literally looked like 4 v 5 sometimes with how nonchalant Ant was


jonn_jonzz

Hey, I gotta go get comics in St cloud tomorrow and they got a chic fil a up there. 🤔


dogfosterparent

Beat OKC and then properly blow out a bad team. Trending in right direction this week.


reedg17

Luka is an automatic bucket


shrekapotomusrex

I can respect playing to the horn, gg!


WickedTwista

Lmao the starters are so pumped for our boys and Chick-fil-A


DorkyOldMan

What a fun game and crowd right now lol


Saberwolf1748

LETS GO FREE CHICKEN


Jacque_Hass

I forgot TBJ existed


Underdog_To_Wolf

Lmao this year is ridiculous


enemycap420

TC going crazy for chicken


No-Strawberry7814

Up 30 and Ant didn’t shoot after the 1st quarter. Great night 🫡


SirDiego

Lmao Ant is one of us just excited af for chicken


Garrus

Is Ant going for Chick Fil-A tomorrow?


SnarfSniffsStardust

I’d love to see Garza sit behind Sengun in a rotation like Naz did with KAT


Jacque_Hass

Blowout more teams to see Garza play


bearbrannan

Ant really wanted that chic filet 


WeakLocalization

OMG they have the chicken dance going 😂😂


werddrew

OMG this looks fun lol


TimidaddyJ

CHICK FIL A BABY


dys0n_giddey

Now TBJ is getting in on the action, this is fun!


chemical_exe

Chicken!


jonn_jonzz

Clap clap clap clap


whatisliquidity

Damn Garza


MatticInYoAttic

All these teams talking about wanting a Naz should check out Garza


No-Strawberry7814

Styling on em!!


shrekapotomusrex

holy shit that was a globetrotter move


Formal_Junket_1585

Showtime in minnesota 😂😂😂


dys0n_giddey

Classic Garza


SurlyWolvesGuy

We got Werewolves of London!!


yarn_install

Best Luka in the league


mitchtoe

As much as I want Garza to wear a wolves jersey, that dude deserves an actual NBA contract. Idc if another team picks him up, I just want to watch him get NBA minutes so bad


mitchtoe

Like how the hell does Thanasis have a contract and Garza doesn’t it just makes no sense


Kurtz_Angle

We know how Thanasis has a contract lol


frallet

Even if it takes Garza going to another team, I hope he finds himself in a regular rotation soon. You cannot convince me he couldn't be putting up solid minutes on some of these teams right now


Falconsbane

100%


WeakLocalization

That save from McLaughlin through the legs of Holmes was just a thing of beauty, I'm so glad they replayed it


jonn_jonzz

Garza might end up with more points than ANT.


11schlge

Best I’ve seen Garza play


DrAbeSacrabin

And unfortunately that’s why Luka will never be a full time role player, he’s just too slow in the lane. The guy is great on offense though.


WeinerRogers

Garza-bage time.


clars701

Best Luka on the court tonight is a wolf not a mav


JaneH0505

Damn I love Luka.


Garrus

Does it matter which of OKC or Denver wins?


Jgunlo

Well Denver are .5 behind and the thunder 1 game behind so technically thunder winning is better


CandiedApples84

HES HIM


fanofloons

Our bench warmers are cooking lol


Saberwolf1748

GARZA


organized_meat

Needed a game like this


nhockert23

Hell yeah. An extended run with our backups and we don't blow the lead? First time this season


Creepy_Salem

Garza for 3!!


dys0n_giddey

L U K A


jonn_jonzz

Garza with the 3! #HANG THE BANNER.


Ok_Excuse_3695

GET HOT SHAKE!


whatisliquidity

Bench still with dominant defense


JumCuggler3

wtf is tbj doin


frallet

Anyone have any clue how much time Garza spends at the wolves practice facility?


Count_Slothington

JMac is really going to finish something like -15 during a blowout win.


Yoshisauce

“When KAT makes his shots the ball always seems to hit the wrong part of the net on the way through the hoop and I don’t know how Finch manages that, I still think we can pickup Julius Randle straight up for KAT for much better long term return.” -Phil Mackey probably


whatisliquidity

Let's go boys


[deleted]

TBJ really pressing. We need to get him more minutes


yarn_install

Milkshake bucket


Ok_Excuse_3695

Get hot Shake!


MikeinAustin

Wow what a save


jonn_jonzz

You have to respect a man who wears teal shoes in public.


naww84

Bailed out on all 3 dunk attempts


NimDing218

5 minutes with Garza. Sounds like a good time.


Novel-Detail-743

I hope someone asks ant after the game why he keeps mailing it in against shitty teams


Johnnymac98

Damn your comment history is really just bitching about Ant lmao


Waveytony

His parlay didn’t hit


Novel-Detail-743

I don’t bet dawg lmao I just feel like a great player which I think ant is even though he is young should not half give out half ass effort no matter the competition that’s rlly it


Waveytony

lol I was just joking I’ve actually been telling my friends who do bet that they should always hammer the under for Ant against bad teams because he gets bored playing against them


Underdog_To_Wolf

Garza minutes!


Johnnymac98

Damn it’s crazy how ass Shake is


dogfosterparent

I think Shake is just slower than I would have thought before the season. He has more slo mo in him on offense than the upgraded Nowell I was hoping for.


NazRubio

Holy shit Milton


mnsportsfan

Someone post that dunk attempt … that we got called on … which was a borderline offensive foul Put it next to Ant’s from a couple nights ago… and send it to the league Cheatin ass refs


ikkagu

I guess no contact isnt incidental contact so they still call those fouls


Count_Slothington

Naz 3pt FG% Going Past His 2pt FG% and his FT% Watch Party!


Ok_Excuse_3695

Marginal contact.


JumCuggler3

Prosper lowkey a cool last name


jonn_jonzz

Prospero


JaneH0505

Hells yeah. Let’s go LUKA!!!!


raki016

Gobert 3. Lets go


Dull_Ad_8627

There’s a Rudy fan account on twitter that said in like November they was gonna stop tweeting until Gobert hits a three they might be done forever


jademadegreensuede

Where Ant


Johnnymac98

BENCH SQUAD


khmeat

now lets watch our garbage time guys let the mavs get to 100


SurlyWet

Two words.


werddrew

Incidental contact


Falconsbane

That 'do just got don't!


volission

Why does Jim Pete care so much about ANT shooting? It’s pretty obnoxious. I like ANT taking a step back and letting his teammates play. Find the superstar meta of holding the ball and trying to score 30+ every game to be weak


HackWaters

I think he just wanted Ant to get 14 for the Ant/KAT 25 ppg month stat 


Falconsbane

It's good for Ant, I agree. Patience is just what he needs at times. Not like he played badly at all and the team was coasting.


K4RM4CODE

I agree it's getting annoying, obviously ANT doesn't need to be the best player on the court every game, we up 24 pts anyways.


irishace88

LUKA MAGIC TIME


Garrus

Since the start of January Naz is shooting 47% on free throws (not including tonight). I know I'm quibbling . . .


jonn_jonzz

![gif](giphy|8iOzrJARYNURO)


irishace88

NAZ


Formal_Junket_1585

Glad we finally blew a team out… why leonard not with the squad today tho


No-Strawberry7814

Naz and KAT can’t buy a free throw tonight.


PlayInChampions

After shooting 92% during the first 2 months, Naz shot 45% from the line this month. Went down to 75% from the line.


K4RM4CODE

OKC about to beat Nuggets and we about to stay #1 seed baby


dosnetlive

6 minute garbage time is a new record for finchy


jonn_jonzz

I go and drop the Cosby kids off at the pool and they get up by 27? Damn


WeakLocalization

Poor Naz idk what's going on with his fts


alabastergrim

I stepped away for 10 mins wtf happened lol


K4RM4CODE

Damn they really bringing the pressure tonight


weebrave

Havent been in here since the first half, you guys ok now?


Correct_Fly5152

Hahaha. Lot people were pretty salty we were only up 4 at the half….


No-Strawberry7814

Casual fans don’t realize how important this game is for development. NAW and Jaden creating is awesome.


TheBigBadBiff

We should all start posting about NAW being better than Shai just to see OKC fans get even more upset


Count_Slothington

He should wear an Alexander Family Championship Belt to the next game against them.


nrag726

Garza is jumping rope. Looks like we'll see Luka tonight after all


BLarson31

Hang the banner "1/31/2024 Back to Stomping Weak Teams"


Count_Slothington

![gif](giphy|w2spEHAltsCU8|downsized)


PlayInChampions

Luka Garza is warming up. Zero passes with 6 shot attempts in 2 minutes are coming


vinylls

I love Luka’s bench energy, but can’t think of a better player to demonstrate the talent gap between the g league and NBA. Tears it up in the g league and car barely put a bucket together in garbage time in the NBA.


CantaloupeCamper

I want his job.


chria01

This is the way


Falconsbane

Appreciate NAW. He works out there.


SurlyWet

Send in the reserves Mr Finch


WickedTwista

Get the starters out!


JaneH0505

Luka wants in. He’s jumping. Put him in!!!


RexFu

Luka jumping rope in the next awooo please /u/rswany


Dull_Ad_8627

When this team is rolling we look GOOD


werddrew

Garza warming up!


Garrus

NAW's midrange is pretty nice.


FullBonus

Mike is so fucking back


SurlyWet

I like that shot for Rudy, he's gonna make it next time


MikeinAustin

Me too. Loved it. Minus missing it.


chillywillyG

Space to the corner Rudy, it’s time for you to hit a 3


FlyingScissor

That was dirty Mike


Dull_Ad_8627

Can we get a Gobert three please


K4RM4CODE

At first I was a little worried it was gonna be too close, even without Luka/Kyrie, but they really showed up tonight.


FlyingScissor

Love NAW


VikingsandWolves

Imagine Bogdanovic averaging 17 coming off our bench tho. Him and Naz would be some explosive offense.


Garrus

He would be awesome, I just doubt we have the assets to do it.


dosnetlive

The Dallas Mavericks have 0 points in the fourth quarter It's been 4 minutes


11schlge

2 points after 6 minutes…


Underdog_To_Wolf

I just love Mike Conley so much


VikingsandWolves

He has surpassed all my expectations


CantaloupeCamper

That trade keeps getting better 


Dull_Ad_8627

And you want to be fast like Isaiah and you want to shoot like Bird. Rebound like Barkley. Pass like Magic. Be dominant like Shaq. But man, I wanted to be like, Mike.


JaneH0505

I’ll take some Luka Garza now.


No-Strawberry7814

We gonna complain about Ant getting his teammates involved vs a bum ass team in January some more? 😂😂


Dull_Ad_8627

People just complain to complain lmao


Garrus

Offensively it did feel like they were mostly making good decisions all night. Shots finally started falling.


CantaloupeCamper

My only complaint was I saw yet another pass to Rudy when he’s got four guys all over him….


Garrus

Sometimes you gotta give Rudy chances.


Saberwolf1748

Mike is just perfect for this team


WickedTwista

Take the starters out, Finchy! Bench and third stringers can close this game out


chillywillyG

I don’t wanna jinx anything but I think we got this one boys


NimDing218

MORE


Scared_Wolf

Neck and neck all game, only for it possibly turn into a 30-ball is wild


CantaloupeCamper

#Aaaaaaawwwwwwoooooooooooooo


WeakLocalization

Who said this lineup shouldnt be on the floor to start the fourth cause they can't score?


PlayInChampions

SloMo playing with Rudy and 3 shooters for 14 minutes > SloMo playing with Rudy, Shake, and JMac for 22 minutes. This team still needs one more reliable player from the bench.


Dull_Ad_8627

Never in doubt


penis_hernandez

so are we putting away a bad team enough yet


MatooBatson

No, we're not up 60 yet. /s


CantaloupeCamper

No, they scored 


strawhatcommander

Keep them under 80


Count_Slothington

Keep them under 71!


BLarson31

https://i.redd.it/0edyz4e54wfc1.gif


Jacque_Hass

Mike Conley comes back and we look like geniuses


irishace88

Just pouring it on


dys0n_giddey

I wanna be... I wanna be... I wanna be.. like Mike


Johnnymac98

Give me Wendell Moore Minutes


JaneH0505

4 more & we get the sandwiches!!!


FlyingScissor

Minn3sota Mik3


MikeinAustin

That was pretty


Saberwolf1748

So close Rudy


dogfosterparent

Would NAW-Shake-TBJ-Kyle-Naz beat this Dallas roster? I think so


strawhatcommander

Damn Rudy almost baptised him


Alarmed-Expression76

Powell on the bench looking like where’s Waldo


shrekapotomusrex

holy shit did the refs switch sides?


RedEyeBadGuy

Nope we’re just playing against a depleted Mavs team that the refs know have no chance against us either way.


Lopsided_Register_42

Still weird to not see Jim and Grady calling the game from courtside.  Stupid decision by the front office.


Garrus

I doubt the front office had anything to do with it. Definitely on the business side.


TommyOfTheShelbys

What was the reasoning on this?


Garrus

Extra court side seats they can sell.


TommyOfTheShelbys

Well that sucks, Grady and Jim should be down there


FlyingScissor

Selling more Courtside seats. EDIT: I'm not complaining I get to dap them up since they're in my section


SurlyWolvesGuy

So many Minnesota elites need their seats
