Can the Timberwolves end the 33 year drought?
The last Minnesota team to make a finals was the Twins in 1991.
The North Stars made it in 1990.
The Viking did it in 1976.
The Timberwolves never made it.

Throwing that heat pack was just unacceptable by Murray but what can you say about the no call on coach Malone storming the court and in the refs face. Should have been a technical at least, he should have been thrown out of the game for that. Now back to the Target Center to finish them off.
Yeah that's straight up garbage. Even in the video about Malone you can see Ant saying that's a tech

I always thought it was the purple color but it seems like it's Minnesota
Alls I know...temporary Wolves fan!! Jump on the bandwagon while there's room!!
Don't count out the world champs just yet! But they played like dogshit the other night. I'm OK if the Wolves win this. Be good for Minnesota and fun to see which Viking players show up at the home games down the stretch.
Either way, nobody gonna beat that team in Boston. :-)

What a game. Jamal Murray is a punk though.This could’ve ended KAT season. This is suspension worthy without a doubt. League has to review this. pic.twitter.com/T8iyZnphlF

He at least got a $100,000 fine (no suspension).

Fine of $100,000 is nothing, its like $100 to the normal working person. He should have been suspended along with the coach after Malone stormed the court to confront the refs.
One other point to be made is the bullshit Glen Taylor is doing by trying to void the sales contract now that the team is winning. Lore and Rodriguez may not be the answer but it's past time for Taylor to sell. Just glad he was never successful in his attempt to buy the Vikings.

Rudy Gobert got fined $100K for making the "money" sign at a ref earlier this season. Murray started with the money sign while on the court, then from the bench threw a towel, and when that didn't reach the court threw the heat pack right into where multiple players could have stepped on it. For all that, he got $100K.
It's obvious as hell that the league didn't suspend Murray because they know Denver has no chance in game 3 without him. With Steph, LeBron, Giannis, and Embiid already knocked out, the NBA is in full-on "Save The Nuggets" mode.

thats where my head is at...
I'm happy for the wolves fans (I'm not an NBA fan) but so much talk about this series being done...If they win Friday I may concede its over for Denver. Still gotta play the game.
Mine is such a cautious, MN sports fan response lol
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!
That fine is complete and utter horseshit. He threw a heat pack, a towel and made the money sign. Have to give credit to the Wolves suffocating defense for frustrating Jokic, Murray and MPJ. Also without Rudy Gobert. Naz, NAW and Jaden McDaniels came up big. Kudos to ANT and KAT.

Good luck tonight, Wolves fans. Vikings rookies are also practicing later today in Eagan, so I'd expect a few to be at the game tonight and on the big screen.

True. A team from any other state would've won this in 4.

That sarcasm is so understated that most won't get the joke. ;)
NBA playoffs are very zig-zaggy, I never read too much into any one game good or bad. The fact I'm even paying attention when I usually don't care is a testament to the fun that Ant brings us spectators.

Tonight is a really big game for both teams...
3/1 Wolves is a lot different than 2/2 going back to Denver.
