They aren't ahead, they just don't count Mike Conley and Rudy Gobert. It's a whole team effort. It's a great mixture of vets, prime, and young talent. Nobody wants to admit it. They blind. Tim Connelly has done a great job and what's funny is that after Gobert and Conley leave/retire, they are still built to compete. People don't understand how to build properly but he's done an amazing job. Give credit where it's due.
@@TheGreatness-gg1jx it's all on which type of offense they are going against. I believe their biggest weakness before Gobert was inside the paint and he's definitely changed that. When you go against Memphis and players like ja, gobert is 100x better than Kat or Naz. It's all dependent on who they are going against. In the match up vs Dallas, I think they might be better without Gobert and give more minutes to Naz. If they go against Boston, Gobert would be better. They are very versatile on what kind of defensive look they can give because they have 3 bigs that do different things.
I don't get this. Outside of the Celtics & Kyrie, none of these teams have been to the FInals. The Wolves have just as much post season experience as the other 3 teams. Rudy and Conley have been post season main stays. And the Wolves in general are in their 3rd straight post season.
@@WaveRider1989 This is because the sports media paradigm is to hype stars and make predictions. With that type of model built in, you will frequently be wrong. They can never really say they are wrong as often as they truly are. People would stop listening to them. So, they just revise the narrative as if they were right all along. This is not the true nature of sports. Sports commentary has become a near toxic overlay. Just watch the games and enjoy. Ignore the clowns.
Playoff inexperience??? Wolves made the playoffs the previous 2 seasons how is that inexperienced??? And that’s not counting the experience of KAT Conley gobert and slow mo this team isn’t OKC who had no experience
ya conley was 0-4 in game 7s and made a conference finals when he was in his prime. Slo mo i think has been on a few runs, i know for sure with memphis a couple years ago. maybe with san antonio before that
Jokic ain't the best player in the world, and this series demonstrated exactly why. Is he MVP, yeah. There isn't a clear Best Player In The World right now. Minnesota wins through it's Defense, a well constructed roster and AE's overall team leadership. AE has reshaped this franchise in his image. 6-24 shows that this TEAM is so solid. A lot of that solidity comes from AE. As much as he's a son of MJ he is the ANTI-MJ when it comes to his relationship with his teammates. Edwards confidence increases his teammates confidence. He continually PRAISES his teammates, often more than Maybe one of you talking heads will make this observation.
the media types are incapable of building a story about 'teams'. They think their viewers/readers are too stupid to appreciate anything but a hero ball star.
Cannot believe this guy said that. Everyone said the Suns were a nightmare match up for the Wolves. Let alone meeting the defending Champs in the 2nd round. Wolves are battle tested.

The argument could be made they're better without Gobert. But yes, they just have a few holes to plug, not a rebuild.

Preach. I never understood the narrative that the Wolves are a wholey young team.
VG is asking the question as if they’ve NEVER made the playoffs before. It took them two years to get past the 2nd round. They’re on schedule

how is getting phoenix and then denver a good draw? and denver on the road. i can see why he asks dumb questions.
lol this is after entire media said Suns got a good matchup with Wolves and will beat them easily. funny how things change after the fact.

i caught that draw comment too... the only team with a good 'draw' is the celtics.

@@kbrewers he definitely did and people can say what they want about Rudy’s playoff runs in Utah but he has plenty of success
Is this the same reporter that asked about the "adjustment of putting Kat on Jokic"? Like it wasn't the match up the whole series.
No, it’s not the same reporter. All black voices do not sound alike.
@@VinceGoodwill Race card? Weak. It was definitely along the same line of questioning, which was piss poor.
@@ryanwall1780 cool. I’ll make sure when you’re there to take notes from you
@@VinceGoodwill Sick rebuttal.
@@VinceGoodwill Do you really think both were good questions?
They’ve faced 5 elimination games in the last 3 years plus 3 play-in games. Played high seeds every year. They are experienced.
After all that will go down as one of the best quotes
A lot of stupid on this video. Anyone can see that the Wolves have the desire to play as good a defense since the Worm, Dumars and Mahorn Pistons.
And it has been on display all season. They have just dismissed it out of hand.
Same could be said for the Celtics. Only if Boston doesn't win the title this time, Jayson Tatum might not be the guy.

We tell the youngsters not to play hero ball but the popular narratives demand it. Winning is not enough... Love yall tho

What’s with Kat’s voice ?
Good draw are you kidding me!!!
