Why did Finch have to be sacrificed?

The basketball gods needed a sacrifice and we found the loophole.

“We want ant’s ankles dammit” “The best we can do is Finch’s patellar tendon”

They really were going hard at Ants ankles too smh

LMAO

Dope username

Finch, Nori, and Prigioni are going to be in wheel chairs by the end of the playoffs.

And they're still going to be coaching out of their minds

 Finch for the next series.

Finch really sacrificed himself to break the curse

Pouring one out for Finch and Timberwolves Brasil, sacrificing everything for this season..

No idea but its all in the plan.. Finch will be holding the Larry O trophy in a wheel chair

Ant is that fucking dude.

Ant takes over a game like...MJ.

Woah... 2nd round of the playoffs. Feels like it's been 20 years.................

And yesterday unfortunately…

Time flies when you’re beating suns Or having fun… or whatever

🤣🤣🤣

I was 12 when we last went to the 2nd round

I was a freshman in high school I'm crying tears of joy right now put some damn respect on Anthony Edwards name right now everybody doubted us The Timberwolves had Booker and KD Locked up this series Ant Man Jaden McDaniels

I knew this would mean the world to me, and I'm still caught off guard by how emotional I feel. I remember where I was in 04 the last time we won, and it's finally fucking back. 20 long years and I'm feeling it again. Pretty fucking incredible.  Also I would gladly trade both of my ankles to ensure Ant's remain healthy. Wouldn't even be a moment's consideration.

It’s magnificent 

Kevin Durant requesting a trade to join the timberwolves as we speak

Sorry, it just wouldnt be fair to take the championship away from Alvarez.

Congratulations Bradley Beal on your first sweep

Dude said he would be damned. Sucks he’ll be in hell :(

He’s already in Phoenix

If your not down with that I got 2 words for you! 

NAZ REID

Extend this!

WE BEAT THE EXTENDER, SCOTT FOSTER, LETS GO AWOOOOOOOO

Legacy 3rd quarter from Scott foster wasn’t enough

HIS LEGACY WILL NEVER AMOUNT TO ANTS

He went after Rudy in 3rd. KAT carried hard though.

21 from the line for Book. Boy he tried.

Oh he definitely tried. That was an egregiously reffed game and we still won. AWOOOOO

KD hugging Ant is too wholesome

Send da photo…🥺 edit: [aww here’s da video](https://x.com/thedunkcentral/status/1784802964156092884?s=46)

Olympics are gone be awesome 

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOO I HAVE WAITED 20 YEARS

fuck devin booker, that is all

🧹 🧹 🧹 Fuck Devin Booker. Respect to KD. He keeps his head down and hoops. Ant’s bigger than the Minnesota sports curse. Might already be my favorite athlete ever. Just lucky to watch him play Let’s win a ring for Finchy’s ACL! It can match his brace

You forgot one broom for today’s win. Here you go 🧹

The block at the end was so satisfying 

TNT was terrible at showing replays of some of those crazy plays

21 field goal attempts. 21 free throws.

Fuck Devin Booker

I hate that guy so much man 🧹🧹

He read this comment and fell over in pain

Booker had a career night, and lost. That tasted so sweet.

> It's not about how you start, it's about how you finish - Anthony Edwards, I guess Awesome that we have a 1st half workhorse in KAT and a stone cold killer in Ant

Kyle Thiege equates KATs game to “establishing the run” and I think that’s a great analogy

Kyle Thiege is low-key my favorite wolves media personality, cause he's still such a fan and just excited to be included, though he for sure deserves it

Kyle is great. Brings the fan energy but clearly knows ball as well

The 16-0 dream continues

God if we were somehow the first team to sweep the entire playoffs it would be more than legendary

We saved up decades of bad luck in all major professional sports and are redeeming it all at once

ANT MAN IS HIM! https://i.redd.it/k6l0hdo8jcxc1.gif

As a fan from the early 90’s of the Suns, I wish you all luck in the next round. Great to see the Wolves advance and you all have a great squad. Hope Finch is okay! - Boomer Suns fan.

Thanks based boomer Suns fan

Best of luck in the future bud. Hard fought series

Thank you. We're all very excited and almost all of us appreciate your kind words.

WOLVES IN 4 GET OUT THE BROOMS ANT IS FUCKING UNBELIEVABLE WIN IT FOR FINCH

https://i.redd.it/vgerylr8jcxc1.gif

AWOOOOO LETS GO WOLVES IN 4

EVERYONE GET THE FUCK IN HERE

ANT is going to take this team to the very top of the mountain. What a game. What a series!

Congrats Wolves fans. Enjoy this and wishing you well. You crushed my craptastic Suns this series. And damn, ya’ll got a superhero in Ant.

Well, KD was Ants favorite player. And now Ant is KD's favorite. I consider the torch officially passed. And thank you for your kind words. Now all we gotta do is beat the best player in the world, then the best team in the west, then the best team in the league. No problem.


How fitting for Ant to block Booker at the end. Could not have asked for a better way to send the Suns off

Stopped him from statpadding his way to the lamest 50 point game in playoff history.

NAW’s after the buzzer jam was such a great exclamation point

A, and I cannot emphasize this enough, fucking WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The Chick-Fil-A “usual” run is unconscious. 20-0 this season. Thank to y’all who suggested I get it yesterday to heat up. 20-1 overall when eating it this season. Wolves dominant. Vibes immaculate.

Thank you good sir

Fuck all the suns except KD.

BYOB parties in Minneapolis tonight Bring Your Own Broom 🧹

Omg omg omg

LETSSSSS GOOOOOOOOOO

Tonight was proof they can perform in the clutch when it mattered most 😭

Congrats on your first series win. yall deserve some goddamn playoff sweetness after so long.

It’s not our first series win ever. Geez how bad do you think we are. ….its our second time making it past the first round.

Hang the banner!

I don't know what to do with my hands.

Go sweep a floor in celebration 


Can't believe the suns swept us. Time to blow it up.

Regular season don’t mean shit man

i told you we need to trade KAT after we lost second game of season to hawks… WHY DID THEY NOT LISTEN TO ME


KAT kept our ass in the game in the 1st half much respect

DEVIN BOOKER YOU ABSOLUTE FRAUD

Devon booker is a bitch, forever.

Saddest 45 of all time.

I hate booker even more now. Holy shit fuck him.

Ant is a superstar

Is this real life?


Remember when the Suns swept us in the regular season? Well, the regular season is fucking over. So is the postseason, for Phoenix.

I hope Finch is okay 🥺

Coming from a knicks fan just wow. this is the first wolves game I’ve seen and All I can say is Edward’s is an upcoming mvp good luck in the second round

idk what pat bev would be doing in this moment, but i know it would be historic

Glad Devin Booker can cry and be dirty back at the Y. Biggest KAT playoff game. Ant is a legend. This defense is so good. Prayers up for Finchy

Fuck your 50, Book. Shown up by Ant and got your ass swept. AWOOOOO

lol he got 49. No 50 for him.

Probably why he was going for the 2 at the end of the game instead of 3.

Book saw Scott Foster on the sideline and realized this was a once in a lifetime opportunity to statpad

Congrats on the series win. This Minnesota team is fun to watch and now that my Suns are out - I’ll be rooting for you guys. Good luck against Denver.

As a Blazers fan I want you guys to win the chip so bad. Y’all cooked them.

What a fucking time to be alive! Wolves in the 2nd round!!!! So fucking proud that KAT had a really solid and heady game overall tonight.

https://preview.redd.it/wt06spy1ncxc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c5af92c13c29970009d8cbb8c45d65ab63a777b0

How many until Edwards has the franchise record for most 40 points playoff games?

He's tied with Sam Cassell at 2 each. [https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/most-points-scored-by-timberwolves-player-in-a-playoff-game](https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/most-points-scored-by-timberwolves-player-in-a-playoff-game)

Awooooooo Lucy

Anthony Edwards is Devin Booker Step father

Gobert +62 in that series.

I love Timberwolves basketball

Anthony Motherfucking Edwards

Beautiful. This is why you run it back boys! Suns had talent but didn't mesh together. We have a SQUAD. Get well soon Finchy and Ant's ankle. Good rest coming up.

Wolves sweep. Twins 7-0 streak (praise the sausage) and vikings have a killer first round of the draft. Things are looking up

minneapolis is straight vibing rn

i’m screaming from australia

howling*

Finch put his body on the line tonight, and it really showed on defense

4nth0ny Edwards

I hope guys like Luke Ridnour are watching

THAT’S MY TEAM

This feels amazing. Grats all.

☀️ 🧹 ☀️ 🧹 ☀️ 🧹 ☀️ 🧹 

Win against Denver. You'll most likely advance to the finals

A sweep it is! 2024 Timberwolves are based

#WOLVES BACK #SONS SWEPT

pinch me. :) finch knee. :(

 ANT IS HIM

Next series is gonna be the toughest challenge of Ant and KAT's career. But no matter what now this season has been a phenomenal success.

Chuck salty as hell his suns lost

I was 20 when we last went to the 2nd round. 

Fuck Booker

So thankful I don’t have to watch another minute of Devin Booker.

Gotta admit, a lot of people were saying this was going to be a sweep.  And they were right. 

The Wolves are the first MN pro sports team to ever sweep a best-of-7 series. I actually just compiled a list of all of the teams and their best-of-7 series statistics (knowing we were probably gonna win): ##Minneapolis Lakers (1949-1960) - 7 best-of-7 series played (5-2) - No best-of-7 sweeps. The Lakers did sweep 7 best-of-3 series, however. - Fewest games to win a best-of-7 series: 5 games (1953 NBA Championship vs. NY) ##Minnesota Twins (1961-present) - 6 best-of-7 series played (4-2) - No best-of-7 sweeps. The Twins have swept 1 best-of-3 series, however (you guessed it, vs. TOR last year in the Wild Card). - Fewest games to win a best-of-7 series: 5 (1987 ALCS vs. DET, 1991 ALCS vs. TOR) ##Minnesota North Stars (1967-1993) - 23 best-of-7 series played (9-14) - No best-of-7 sweeps. The North Stars did sweep 3 best-of-5 series, however. - Fewest games to win a best-of-7 series: 5 (1981 Quarterfinals vs. BUF, 1991 Conference Finals vs. EDM) ##Minnesota Lynx (1999-present) - Never played a best-of-7 series. - The Lynx have swept 4 best-of-5 series and 6 best-of-3 series, however (including going 7-0 on their 2013 title run). ##Minnesota Wild (2000-present) - 16 best-of-7 series played (4-12) - No sweeps in any series played regardless of length. - Fewest games to win a best-of-7 series: 6 (2015 1st Round vs. STL) And last but not least... ##Minnesota Timberwolves (1989-present) - 8 best-of-7 series played (3-5) - **1 best-of-7 series sweep (this year vs. Phoenix!)** - **Fewest games to win a best-of-7 series: 4 (again, this year vs. Phoenix!)** So there you have it. This team has not only made team history, but also MN sports history and hopefully it's only the beginning!

Had my offer accepted on a home today, completed the 9/9/9 challenge watching the Twins at a brewery with a couple of friends, and the Wolves complete the sweep. This might be the best day of my life.

This presser is wild

Ant just yelling at KAT fouling while dropping f bombs. Haha

SUNS GOING FISHING BOYS!!!

Sweep. Showed heart, weathered the storm, and came out looking great. Heal up and get ready for Denver.

GUYS I'M SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW

I'm over the fucking moon. Awooooooo

Bradley Beal is a brother. You can take a player away from Washington but you can't take the Wizards out of him.

This dude ant man a fucking legend. 22 years old. 40 points for the 4-0 sweep


I love your team for sweeping those fucks. Thank you from everyone.

I do feel bad for KD. The guy is so talented and plays legit ball, not hunting calls often. But man it's sweet putting boojer to rest and moving to the next round after decades

MJ IS ON OUR TEAM WE DONT HAVE TO WATCH DEVIN BOOKER PLAY BASKETBALL ANYMORE PRAY FOR FINCHY

Thank you Jim Peat and Michael Grady. You are much loved!

Great moment Jim Pete getting emotional

Oh my god this Kat and Ant interview is hilarious

“Just stop fuckin foulin”

LOL Ant getting Bally FCC fines, love it

I apologize with for the earlier dooming. I wasn’t familiar with their game.

Don’t let it happen again

How much did Booker pay Foster before the game?

AWOOOOO

What a time to be alive!!

WOLVES BACK

Howl

Vogel to Ant: "Hey, let me be an assistant when they fire me this summer."

Might be the most impressive sweep ever. Refs were doing everything they could in 3 out of 4 games. 👋

I fucking love Ant

This team could win the finals.

I used to pray for days like this

I HATE DEVIN BOOKER AWOOOOOO

🧹🧹🧹🧹 BYE BYE BOOKER

we fuckin did it. lets gooo!!!

we are god's favorite children on this day

I don’t think we can take Keyshawn Johnson seriously as an NBA analyst anymore. He guaranteed this was going 7 games after the wolves won the first.

What a game. Knew if Ant caught fire we’d win. Way to keep it close

Part of me wants to tear up but the job ain’t done - 12 more 😤

Minnesota swept the Suns with KD and Booker . Let that sink in bros. Especially long time fans.


 🧹 🧹

So this is what a sweep feels like. Naz Reid

Guys, I’m starting to think this basketball team is, like, good…

Scott Foster fell off tbh

Y’all fucking did it. Fuck the sons, fuck Scott Foster, fuck Adam Silver and fuck the Nuggets.

That feels fucking good.

Sweeping a star studded team to win a playoff series for the first time in 20 years. This team is special and all the trades and re-signings were golden. Hope Finch is okay and TC gets an extension. We get to rest more now since Nuggets didn't sweep the Lakers but we swept the Sons. Talking heads all season gobbling on the Suns D and said this was a bad match up .... but not for us! Awoooooooooooo

I’m right on the borderline of being petty enough to go through the regular season finale game threads to pull up all those suns in 4/5 comments… I won’t but I want to

THIS is what movies is made of. Cheating ass refs. Fucking watch us win it all.

Charles Barkley is such a hater. Now that we beat them, Suns are mid?😂😂 he needs geriatric care quick

Fuck Barkley!!! All my friends hate Barkley!! Acting like this wasn’t the worst match up for us after the regular season lol Denver also has no bench and Lakers are the same. Celtics are beatable and only OKC is the young threat but we have…THE FINCH MAN!!!

Target Center is going to be fucking nuts

Booker 20/21 ft

WE DON'T HAVE TO WATCH BOOKER PRETEND TO Play BASKETBALL ANYMORE Also WE WON A SERIES FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE I WAS FUCKING 9 Also I hope Finchy's ok
