he does a good job redirecting his teammates also, noticed several times he is picking up an opponent while motioning his teammate to the open man. That hasn't been seen in MN since the days of KG

This video analysis is also a master passion its own. Gobert's defense is very vital to the win. McDaniels and ant's synergy. Naz and Kat and the bench providing support and especially everything is handled by Conley very well

Gobert gets so much undeserved hate

Tatum is either completely pedestrian or a superstar on any given night with hardly any in between. He may be the most up and down star I’ve ever seen. Most players will have that short peak early in their careers where we think they could be special then the league figures them out and we realize they were probably never going to be all time talent or anything. With Tatum it’s a cycle.

Love this T-Wolves team. They have the potential to be a contender if they keep up the clamp defense and improve on the offensive end.

When an unstoppable force meets an immovable object

Ant was also playing with 5 fouls late in the game. He was played a little soft on D to not get ejected but clamped down at key moments when they had to get a stop.

Congrats for the video, also my favorite game of the season. From someone who has watched the guy for nearly a decade, I've never seen Rudy in that great of a shape, he's one of the greatest defenders to ever do it, not to mention that Edwards is an upcoming superstar. I believe the Wolves could compete, their roster is strong on both ways, and has decent depth.

The best player on that list is Walker Kessler who'd be the 4th best big man on the wolves roster, the other guys would struggle to get playing time and aren't making a significant impact across the league. Not to mention if the wolves keep playing at a high level those first round picks will be late in the first which have a very low success rate.
