The Minnesota Timberwolves Have ARRIVED...

- The Minnesota Timberwolves decisively took down the Phoenix Suns in only 4 games behind an absolutely incredible series from Anthony Edwards. The Timberwolves have received mountains of heat from the NBA world for the Rudy Gobert trade, but now they're set to face off against the Denver Nuggets to try and secure a trip to the Western Conference Finals.
Jaden McDaniels' defense was a major part of the first round of the 2024 NBA Playoffs for the Minnesota Timberwolves, and coupled with Nickeil Alexander-Walker stepping up big time, the Minnesota Timberwolves defense looked like an absolute nightmare for teams to try and score against.

Saying ant needs to leave MN is like Saying jordan need to leave Chicago. Its not a need for nba's face
Thank you!
“Jokic needs to leave Denver”
"James can win in cleveland" "no matter how good Curry is Golden State isn't a winner" it takes 1 to change a culture
That is just how MN is treated we have a chance and it's better if we didnt
It's moronic to say he needs to leave to get more attention... How about they just put them on prime time channels more like they deserve.. 20 years ago if you told me i'd watch the Golden State Warriors a lot in the future because of the splash brothers i would have laughed at you.
Good to great "products" to watch will always draw attention.
Ant is taking the 4th year leap like Kobe and MJ… his leadership/playmaking this season has taken a huge step.
His defense has also gotten significantly better
@@HunterHvhe's only a good on-ball defender.
@@reformeddoomer6777 he's been better as of late off ball with his help defense
@winter9242 you're probably right, I haven't seen him play in a bit.
This is his post FIBA team leap and next season is the post olympic leap...its frightening.
We are in the midst of an era that has proven that teams built on consistency, deliberate construction, and contunuity, are DOMINATING teams that are constantly going through massive roster reconstructions, coaching changes, and buying their top players rather than growing and developing them through the draft. You gotta love it. This is a golden age of basketball
It's trending back to the 90s. The time of the superteams has withered and died.
@@rosssivertson6339 that’s largely cause of the era shift we are witnessing. It’ll shift and happen again. Young guys will team up as they get older and more well paid, and it’ll rinse/repeat until a new generation comes to repeat the cycle and send this generation to retirement.
OKC, Minnesota, Denver, NYK, who else?
@@goskateminnesota7256 Good point, I didnt even think about it but you are absolutely right!
I love how much the goalposts have moved on the wolves this postseason. First the Suns were the worst possible first round matchup for us. Now the Suns are trash and the roles are reversed and the wolves are now national media darlings lol. We comin 🐺💍
hell yeeee
That defensive sequence at 9:04 is a thing of beauty
🔥
It's so good because Beal actually can shoot or get a layup on that drive but Conley taps it at the right time to force the pass and that leads to a steal by NAW.
The series against Denver is the NBA championship
TNT is gonna dominate Saturday nite TV ratings.
Shout out to Alex, who noticed Nickeil Alexander Walker’s Ascension months ago
Keep in mind; wolves fans have been fans of the dlo for naw/conley 3x2nds trade for a while and naw was such a revelation when he showed up. He’s been getting better since.
We see his video talking about himself to be the best than others but he only answers that when people ask about him but when talking about basketball and his team he always credit his teammates first. Swagger , killer mentality and leadership. That’s jordan / kobe mentality right there
They got KD but we got Jaden McDaniels
McDaniels vs Porter will be interesting. MPJ may get cold with aggressive defense like last year's finals but may respond with more drives like back then.
Murray's health will be the x factor in this series.
McDaniels will be starting out guarding Murray not MPJ
Pwat should be gaurding McDaniel
And kcp
@@avihs2845 Who guards Porter if not McDaniels? Obviously best defender on Murray makes sense, but Finch may opt to match Ant up on Murray and have McDaniels play on Porter due to his size/length. I think people forget that MPJ is 6'10". I expect Conley on KCP, and then Towns/Gobert to split the Jokic/Gordon matchup.
@@C_moneyyou’ll most likely see jaden on murray and ant on mpj
While the suns have their flaws the timberwolves defense was great this series and has been this entire season. They have rudy gobert the best rim protector of the past decade and multiple very good to great point of attack defenders with jaden mcdaniels, ANT, and NAW. Intrigued to see what defensive schemes they deploy against the nuggets and what adjustments they make to the nuggets adjustments.
This series is the one ☝🏾 plus the Nuggets ARE the defending champs until proven otherwise….
Ant staying in Minnesota they’ve built something special there
Jaden McDaneils' Mid-Range shot is so cool, he leans back SO FAR how do you even defend it?
8:44 this sequence was actually insane. What a team. Thats a real basketball team with real basketball players
I'm truly impressed. From a Philly fan
I just like how I keep seeing handfuls of Nuggets fans saying we won't be able to stop Jamal Murray. Like did y'all not watch the Timberwolves vs Suns at all? We pretty much shut down Beal and Booker having 3 elite perimeter defenders between McDaniels, Ant, and NAW. Murray was defended by Dlo and Reaves vs LA
The problem is not Murray, it's the Joker.
@@mekacrab you seem to forget that basketball is a team sport
@@solomonike I know, but he says that the problem is Murray. Joker is an even bigger problem. He basically enables their whole team.
@@mekacrab they aren’t stopping him anyways they would have to slow him down. Though stopping Murray completely will win them the series.
Stats this season show that Jokers assist average went way down against the wolves.
Wolves in 6 over the Nuggets.
Played them tough last year. Nuggets lost Bruce Brown. Wolves are gaining Naz and Jaden, along with Ant’s ascension and a better Gobert
Wolves back!
And last year the Wolves didn’t have McDaniels
We’ve had Jaden and Naz for like 3 years wym
As a Nuggets Fan.
I will be returning back to this comment section, after we have successfully sit you puppies down. Nuggets in 5😎
(All love tho Lmao, the wolves are a Nice af team. Definitely our biggest competition in the league GoodLuck!)
We didn't have them in the series against the nuggets last year @@Spring888
Just can’t wait for nuggets vs timberwolves.
Wow, what a nice video, subbed!
This team makes me so happy
I’ve been waiting for you to make this video! 😈🐺
Don’t use emoji demon
D book's lack of relocation is interesting to see
The length and rotation from Minnesota is inescapable
I feel like they might beat the Nuggets this year and win it all. Even Jokic admitted that among last years teams in their road to championship Minnesota were so difficult to play against because of KAT-Gobert twin tower defense among other factors. Serious contender to win it all this year.
I just found out the T-Wolves swept a series. Haven't paid attention to them for years and years. The T-Wolves have been a cursed franchise. My parents had season ticket for the inaugural season when Bill Musselman was the coach.
9:13 idk if i’m exaggerating but that might be one of the best defensive possession i’ve seen in a long time, literally showed everyone what a perfect modern nba defensive possession looks like
Translating the title from British to American: the MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES CAME.
And so did I watching that series
@@Gfro27 💀💀💀💀
"They got KD, we got Jaden McDaniels."
9:06 I think The TWolves ability to scramble and rotate on defense will be key for them in the series against Denver. The Nuggets are the best at executing on offense, so Minnesota has to make sure their defense is on a string all series long.
quick editing suggestions: I always notice the instrumental switch (this time around 3:30) and I think it would be even more impactful if it was tied to some new "chapter" in the video. Like at around 4:10 when you start talking about jmacs offense would be a good moment imo.
Just an idea, love the videos!
That title would've if andy had put "COME" instead of "ARRIVED". Just imagine "the minnesota timberwolves have COME."
The Suns have set and the full moon is out. T’Wolves are howling. Awoooooooo!
Wolves Back
ant is him
minn vs Boston would be the finals i wanna see
As a Minnesotan I can’t get my hopes up because Minnesota sports teams always disappoint when they are having a good year. We haven’t won a championship since the 90s and that was in baseball.
Stop sulking in the past and look at what’s happening right in front of you
I agree with @larrymarket9658 We have so many great young players on the big 4 teams. With many more on the way. I bet each team is gonna win at least one chip in the next 5-10 years.
alex will never beat the wolves fan allegations
The Timber puppy’s yo nuggets in 5
European teams taking all notes how to guard even more USA redeem team😅
I bet 700 on wolves y’all think I’m fuckrd
Phuk no
Wolves in 6
Everybody thinks Denver gonna win
Minnesota has the better ALL AROUND team with the best defense
Denver has the better offense and the best player in the NBA
The wolves depth and defense will be the deciding factor in the wolves winning this seris
lol i was about to do the same with the same amount but im thinking bout it
McDaniels struggled against the Nuggets in the playoffs last year, probably why the Nuggets won't have a problem with the Wolves again this year.
McDaniels broke his hand last year and didn't play against the Nuggets
Wolves have definitely arived, unfortunately their stay will only last another 2 weeks
We've seen way bigger upsets than this. If someone can beat Denver it's them.
We’ll see, they played them better than anyone with a lesser team in the playoffs last year and 2-2 this year.
If Wolves don’t suffer any serious injuries- they’ll beat Denver to advance.
ant edwards is going to be average when his athleticism fades
He already plays great defense and his shooting % has gone up yearly?!? Your argument doesn’t have much basis and reducing him down to a pure athlete and not a basketball player is funny cause that’s what people were saying going into his rookie season…. 😴
He's already shown growth in shooting, passing and decision making under pressure.
So there's no guarantee that he can't adapt to losing his athletic edge like other great players have done.
A 10 to 15 year great run is better then being in the league long time like Vince Carter
damn u are salty
Why would he be average ? He's gonna make the transition like all the ones before him, MJ or Kobe.
Are you just saying this because you're mad or something ?
