Antman, Superman, Lakers in FIVE lol
I actually hope the media keeps picking against them. Love seeing this team play with a chip on its shoulder.
Gobert and Randle were MVPs in Game 5.

But can they end the 34 year Minnesota drought?

That is hard to say. We had Garnett and couldn't get it done. Edwards has the chance to; he is that good. I think Garnett had a harder league to compete with at times. Problem this series, they had no answer for the big. They would have been better off against us with Davis IMO.

Well you gotta get through a loaded Western Conference first and then Boston is likely the favorite to come out of the East again.
OKC will be tough because the refs love sending Shai to the line 15-20 times per game.
Golden State with Butler in the mix will be a tough team too if they can close out Houston.
Ant is only 23, but he's already playing like a top 5 guy in the league. Think the Timberwolves have a great shot to win it all over the next couple years with this team if they can keep adding some role players.

McDaniels had a bad game and what seemed to be picked on by the refs in game 5. We still overcame that. Ant is only 23, we have a shot if we can continue to add around him as you say. Boston and Cleveland are tough out the east. OKC is the only team I fear in the West. That team is young and talented.

There's one you missed. The WNBA Lynx. They were seconds away from winning it all last year.

They don't have to win against the East in the finals, they just have to get there to break the drought.

Well, if you want to count them then the drought has already ended. They won it in 2017 and have a few more trophies.
But the drought of the men's sports would still be going.

True that. The women's teams win. The Lynx have 4 titles and the MN Frost (women's hockey) won the championship last year
