The Minnesota Timberwolves are facing an uphill battle in the Western Conference Finals against the Dallas Mavericks after dropping both home games in dramatic fashion. With the possibility of going down 0-3 to the Mavericks, the Timberwolves must now win two games on the road to steal back home-court advantage.
Despite the efforts of star player Anthony Edwards, who has vowed to be more aggressive in Game 3, the Timberwolves are struggling to come up with buckets in clutch moments. Adding to their challenges, Draymond Green of the Golden State Warriors made controversial comments about the Timberwolves’ chances of winning an NBA title.
Green stated on The Big Podcast that if the Timberwolves never win a title, nobody would care, taking a shot at the team’s lack of historical relevance in the league. This has sparked debate about the NBA’s preference for marquee teams like the Los Angeles Lakers or New York Knicks to win it all, potentially overshadowing smaller-market teams like Minnesota.
Despite the odds stacked against them, the Timberwolves have the opportunity to prove their doubters wrong and make a statement in Game 3. As the series unfolds, all eyes will be on Minnesota as they strive to turn the tide and make a push for the NBA Finals.
