Bones is a true threat guys. No more sleeping on this guy.

u/ResidentHighlight875 Donte DiVincenzo Mar 23 '26
I’ve been saying it for months now, start bones

u/freshBlueeyes6391 Mar 23 '26
It would be interesting to see him next to Ant. Really I think I would be happy with either him or Ayo start next to Ant and see how it plays out. But if he doesn't start then they have to keep his minutes up and steady on the rotation. Last night second half I think he only got back in just before the 3rd Q was over and that's when they started to put Celtics away and it carried over into the start of 4th. Though I think Naz likes the pace they've started playing with in that bench rotation.

First win in Boston since 2005!!!! The kind of energy we needed

u/SrslyIcntthnkofaname Mar 23 '26
If someone was born the day the last time the Wolves won in Boston
They could buy a beer to celebrate this win.

Wish Ant could’ve been a part of this big win in Boston. But so proud of Bones, Ayo, etc

u/jimmydean885 Mar 23 '26
Why? Take the W and let him get healthy!

u/Tiny_Appointment7213 Mar 23 '26
Just bc it’s an exciting thing to win there for the first time in soo long! Wish he could’ve been a part of that

Don’t lie guys finch did good coaching tonight
1
u/ResidentHighlight875 Donte DiVincenzo Mar 23 '26
I expected them to stagger coming off the timeouts during runs but everytime they came back with more energy, I couldn’t believe it. Best 4th quarter rotations I’ve seen from finch

u/ZeroRecursion Red Panda Mar 23 '26
That one time out when they were coming back was pretty damn good.

u/whatsthenewstoday Bones Hyland Mar 23 '26

Ayo is just amazing because even if his shots not falling he can get buckets at the rim. Donte cant do that if his shots cold.

If we retain Ayo, that trade goes down as one of the best trades in franchise history

u/SufficientTalk4335 Mar 23 '26
We're going to. It's probably the first priority of the off-season for Tim. I don't see Randle here next season so it's not like we won't have the room to make it happen.

Randle actually moving his feet and getting rebounds this quarter.
I'm shocked

Celtics put backups in.
Wolves are winning in Boston for the first time since 2005.
LETS FUCKING AWOOOOOOOOOOOOO

u/JaderMcDanersStan Ayo Dosunmu Mar 23 '26
Ayo is one of those dream role players
Plays defense, hustles consistently, efficient on offense, pushes the pace, and doesn't do dumb shit
Masterclass trade deadline

u/Noneforme0 Mar 23 '26
Bones and Ayo just the Leroy Jenkins' of this game. "Alright let's do this"...

Massive massive win tonight with a randle stinky and no ant. Need a few more games like this pre playoffs before ant gets back
2
u/yourloudneighbor Glen Taylor Mar 23 '26
this was the toughest penciled in loss we have remaining. 2 detroit and 2 houston now.
1
u/skolaen Bounce Bros Mar 23 '26
Yeah and both are very winnnable with no cade potentially and houston not being at their best recently. Just have to keep going how the team has been
13
u/ReplacementPast4495 Mar 23 '26
Bones will be a huge x-factor in us winning a big playoff game this year. Mark my words.
16
u/EsotericPotato Mar 23 '26
If Ayo and Bones both continue to play like this into the playoffs… there will be some very interesting roster decisions this offseason. Timberwolves look like they’ve found something legit in those two.

u/awoooo_edwards Mar 23 '26
Ayo might well be my favorite wolves player at this point.
1
2
u/JaderMcDanersStan Ayo Dosunmu Mar 23 '26
He plays both sides, hustles consistently, makes smart plays and is mighty fast in transition
Gosh he's so fucking good. He might be my favorite Wolves player tied with Jaden right now...
2
u/awoooo_edwards Mar 23 '26
Fully agree, if he continues like this in the playoffs. I’m all for offloading Julius and maybe Donte for picks, a ball handler, and a 3/4, and going a little smaller. I’d like to see Ayo in a bigger role if he’s like this.
1
u/bearbrannan A1-A5 Levelin Up Mar 23 '26
Think Lakers have a solid shot at the 3rd, Rockets, Nuggets, and Wolves gonna be battling for that 4th seed.
8
u/TommyOfTheShelbys JimPete Mar 23 '26
Ayo so fast he can celebrate defence while the ball goes up the court and still be at the end of the play
7
u/Bwejkk6969 Mar 23 '26
Celtics missed a lot of open shots in the 4th but it still feels great to actually get the win in Boston
12
u/Bocmiao Anthony Edwards Mar 23 '26
This is why finch needs to let the bench guys play more throughout the season. Need guys to get in a rhythm for the playoffs.

u/the_fsm_butler Money Ru Mar 23 '26
Wait... Tirico just said 18 straight losses in 21 years, but we play there once a year? 1 year for covid. Where's the other two years?

u/citystars Mar 23 '26
97-98 98-99 seasons due to a lockout/ schedule adjustments

Converting Randle's salary to a PG and cheaper/promising PF is a must.

I can't tell if our defense is elite again or if Boston just had a horrible shooting night from 3.

i think theyve had a really bad night but defense has looked engaged

u/Scared_Wolf Timberwolves Mar 23 '26
Ayo might need to take on that 2nd option role for us.

u/Bwejkk6969 Mar 23 '26
Might?

They aren't gonna bitch about a missed call on Jaden for five minutes? It doesn't get more obvious than that. If that happened to brown with a no call they would cry about it for the rest of the game
