Jaden McDaniels is 23, Ant is 22, NAW is 25, Naz is 23, KAT is 27. These fools dont even know the Wolves roster...
Exactly you can’t pay all these guys you have to let some go. I hope they all take pay cuts man
I bet not a single one of them picked the Wolves to make the actual playoffs, let alone advance.
This is literally them updating their resume lmao wtf is Acho talking about… he didn’t predict them being here
Exactly and they going up against the defending champs
How is it not a success, Ant got his first series W last round.
Preach. Theyre just talking out of their behinds.
Just stupid. If a 3 seed loses to the 2 seed defending champs they say it’s a disappointment for the wolves, but if the number 1 seed thunder lose to a 5 seed it’s a successful season for the thunder? WTF?
@@centinelyorkfax. The Timberwolves would wax the mavs.
You’ve never played sports. Every season where you don’t win the championship is a failure
@@AneeshtheraveMavs in 6
If KAT is old than what would you consider Jokic? KAT is younger than Jokic! These people don’t know anything.
Acho is showing how little he knows. “KAT he old.” He is 28.
He’s been in the league for 9 years bruh. He’s the equivalent of a 31 or 32 year old. In basketball, that’s old, especially with his injury history, and he has had many (plus a meniscus tear).
He might have 3-4 years left in him if he’s lucky, and you shouldn’t expect those to be high-level playing years either. Once you begin to suffer from debilitating injuries (I.e., an achey this or strained that) you’re on your way out. And his are all in his lower extremities. Let’s not forget the concussions.
NBA players aren’t quarterbacks. Most don’t get to play until they’re 40. They’re lucky if they’re still playing at 36 in anything besides a glorified 12th man role.
Even more indicative is that he doesn’t move like he once did. A guy like Dwight Howard still has springs at 32. Alonzo Mourning was still a terror at 32, as were guys like LeBron, KG, Kobe, and others. KAT isn’t that dude. He LOOKS old out there.
How did Acho get this job. I wonder sometimes🤦🏾♂️
every year gobert and conley are getting older, this was their best shot
conley a great piece but they can still find someone just as equivalent
@@princecheck11 not really, most post guards are shot chuckers nowadays, especially if you want one for the bargain of a contract conley is on
Robert is only 31, and Conley has been up and down
@@princecheck11not like Conley is this untouchable player.
@@Aneeshtherave so you just blatantly didnt read what i said at all
Wasting their youth? So Jordan’s youth was wasted too right? Terrible take.
He didn’t mean that literally. What he’s saying is that it’s a shame we can’t combine the physical gifts of the young with the skills, savvy, and experience of older players. That’s what he means when he says, “Youth is wasted on the young.”
They might do done exhorting things, but they often don’t have the savvy and maturity to exploit the gifts of their youth the way an older person would and replicate their success.
Ooooh, this whole segment just tanked like spoiled milk! 🤣🤣🤣
I can't wait for the next episode.
Acho be trippin it would be disappointing to lose like that but still a success before the season no one expected the wolves to be here
I swear acho never has a good take….. he just be yappin
Joy is right again ! Game 7 ! she's has the most common sense and logical takes on the show and gets the most hate for some reason 🤷🏾♂️
Acho just flat out wrong here, using the Timberwolves accomplishments (winning the first 2 in Denver) against them, which NOBODY had them doing, is just stupid. Wolves were one of the best teams in the league all year and still nobody was giving them their cookies. Wolves were considered frauds all year smh. If he wants to consider the series a failure.. sure. But in no way shape or form is this season a failure.
Let's not forget all the hate and backlash this team got by media for the Rudy Gobert trade. "Worst trade in NBA history" right? Wolves clowned those takes with the season they had. Best season in 20 years for this franchise, beat all expectations. We were the losingest franchise in all of sports before this season for crying out loud. Great season for the Timberwolves! Wolves in 7.
Who acho Emmanuel think he is Elmer fund talking about " it's very very simple " 😂😂😂
Kat is 28 how is he old this aged horribly
Thank you! They sound ridiculous
See you in Denver game 7 . These fools are clueless
Mannnnn as soon as Rondo went down for the Bulls ik that series was over 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ They was gonna sweep them frfr 🤷♂️🤷♂️
Preach!!!!
Acho, Ant man told me to tell you 🖕🏼🖕🏼. Lol
Game 7!! Them talking like the series is over sheeesh
Joy said they can take the Nuggets to 7
@@patrickbell5875 ya, bro. But the main question raised was whether the twolves season was a success. 🤦♂️
Kat is 28 yrs old, NAW is 25, Naz is 24, McDaniels is 23, ant is 22, gobert is 31... TF is he talking about
Acho has to be the worst analyst on TV how you have a job and say the wolves season would be a failure
Its a game 7 now
Wolves took the series
i just added SPEAK to my subscriptions. I would like to say, you men and woman are incredible! Great commentary. Great conversation, and banter. Thank you!
If the Nuggets win tonight, it would be a mistake to say that the TWolves season was not a success. Yes, the TWolves won the first two games in Denver. But then DENVER WON the next games. Since they won last year, they've been considered the best team in basketball. And Jokić is now a 3-time MVP. The TWolves winning the first two was the the outlier, not the Nuggets winning the next 3 [4].
FatFaktz.
Comparing the kings to the wolves is laughable
Acho and Shay really just be yapping. The Timberwolves haven’t made the second round in 20 years. It’s clearly a success
Joy and JJ is the ones with common sense
Ancho talks failure as though his career was that greatest. These guys have no idea what success is.
I don’t recall the T’Wolves being amongst the favourites at the start of the season.
They weren’t. But is it not expected to make improvements every year? Multiple first round exits before this year? Like these guys said, they were fighting for the 1 seed all year. It came down to the last couple of games. Definitely set higher expectations when your best player is getting MJ comps lol
I think just people went overboard with the whole antman is MJ reincarnated or some dumb stuff like that. Plus he was talking a whole lot of smack
Shady disagreed with Joy ... that's a first 😹
I thought I was the only person that noticed that! Hahaha
I’m not an Acho hater but the balance undeniable when Joy focuses moderating not primary panelist. Joy is a good moderator but so so panelist, so helps her skill utilization when is moderator. Dave brings a journalist skill, stats and can talk positional scheme and draft/trade analysis. Shady and James different personalities but former players to bring personal experience. 🔥
bro
Spot on fam
She needs to go
Joy is aTerrible analyst. For many reasons. She's an average moderator. Acho is better at both.
@@HockeyDudeJames2 I think she’s better suited to moderating. Even Dave a journalist can talk positional scheme. She says nuance a lot but not seeing it. 🤷🏾♂️
Shady saying Wolves have everything to win the series and should??? Guarantee he didn't have us beating the Nuggets and prolly not even the suns. These guys are literally only talking about this one series in a question asking if the SEASON was a success.
Make sure to update your information with that 45 point blowout of your 3x MVP
I can't do Acho... He's basically trolling...
He's basically overcomplicating and tryna sound intellectual, and it's annoying 😂
So no body gone talk about how the reffs called the game the first two games compared to the last 3. Its night in freaking day!
👍🏾💯
I’m just saying. If the lakers were where the wolves are rn. They’d be calling the season a huge success
if the team built to beat the nuggets, built by the nuggets former gm, cant beat the nuggets...nobody can
They are whipping the nuggets now! 19 points lead. Ant was right. They are going to game 7!
@@TheMethod-rv5gr45
45 belt2ass
I was with Acho yesterday about how when the Wolves win “look at Antman carrying!” But when they lose it’s everyone else’s fault. This might be too far yeah it sucks that they blew a 2-0 series lead at home but I don’t consider it a failure
Maybe not a failure, but i dont consider a sucess either... because nothing is promised at that level, We saw alot great players who didnt had another shot to the conference finals again.
They give Jokic quick acknowledgment & proceed to talk about ANYTHING else
bait comment
@princecheck11 Joy even acknowledges in this clip their tendency to want to dismiss him by his appearance & such.
Boohoo is that you Michael malone
@musestarlight1 The casual NBA fans & the media who profits off of them are treating Jokic like Tim Duncan. They 'yeah, yeah' his greatness & then talk about anything else
@@bygonewaves not them on the panel jack the media! they all been praising jokic & how phenomenal he is the timberwolves the bigger topic rn bc they was up 2-0 its not rocket science
Acho lately’s been pissing me off with all his takes I stg 😂😂
Very satisfying to see people eat nuggets’ humble pie 🥧 🤣🤣🤣
Ur absolutely right!! People never wanna give us the credit or give us credit but then tear us down.
Oop about that
Like last night?
Nuggets lost to the wolves 🤭
What you eating this morning? Whatever it is don't give it to any Nuggets players . They might choke
Acho calm down bro and stop bringing up your past!!!! Anything Minnesota does in the playoffs is a success and oh yeah it’s call Coaching which Denver has the advantage outside of the Joker!!!!!!
The Wolves season is a success because they're a top 5 seed and played great, especially 🐜 Man,but it's no shame losing in the playoffs in the 2nd rd against the Champs the Denver Nuggets tho.
Y’all talj lije series was over dann can nuggas wait
Yo they couldn’t find a better photo of Ant for behind JJ?? Lmao I swear sometimes these producers just put goofy looking photos for fun 😂
I'm going to comment before I watch this video because there's only one answer: yes. The Wolves have been horrible for 20 years and this is one of the first times we as fans have gotten to watch them battle in the playoffs. This doesn't happen for the Wolves. Ever. And ant is stepping up as a superstar, something we haven't had since KG. When they say no, they're absolutely wrong.
Its a win for the season but a failure for the series. When you go up 2-0 ON THE ROAD it's a failure when you lose the series. But like I said still a W for the season imo.
Who’s here after the 45 pt blowout?
If l was married to Joy: “Joy the Gucci store called today baby you’re killing me…” You’re wearing that to bed?”….”We gonna talk about that bill tomorrow l mean it this time”
The Nuggets are an example of a team that was young got to a Western Conference finals. Fell off for 2 years came back got a Championship. And I’m a Nuggets fan so I don’t want them to get better. But it certainly can happen.
Smh......this is what we have to look forward to in journalism???
Denver lost those 2 games because they play like they play against Lakers Denver said hold up now we going to play for real.
And went back to square 1
Acho was smoking boots on this segment
Shady and Acho keep making a big deal about being up 2-0 on the defending champs, when the exact thing literally happened last year. Sacramento was up 2-0 on the Warriors, then GS won the next 3 games straight and eventually won the series. Granted, those 2 first games were in Sacramento, but it's still basically the same scenario, and the Kings are just like Minnesota in that they hadn't accomplished anything in over 20 years.
The next GOAT convos and next GOAT debates will be: Michael Jordan vs Victor Wembanyama, Michael Jordan vs Anthony Edwards, Michael Jordan vs Luka Doncic, Michael Jordan vs Nikola Jokic, Michael Jordan vs Jalen Brunson, Michael Jordan vs Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Michael Jordan vs Ja Morant, Michael Jordan vs Donovan Mitchell, et cetera, et cetera. 🏀🏀🏀‼️‼️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💯💯💯💯
Only constant is the real goat 🐐 MJ
Big men don't get compared to Guards.
Kat is old? He’s 28 ffs
old af
First time to second round in 20 years..how is that not successful?
Now yall talking like this it’s crazy
I dont know too many moderators as good as Acho!
Why do we believe on football players talking about basketball.? It’s like talking about engineering if u are a doctor
Those 2 guys are making way too much of a fuss over the Timberwolves having a 2-0 lead. The Warriors had a 3-1 lead in 2016 and still lost.
Kat is 28, Jaden is 24. The heck
*23
The lost to the overwhelming champs how is it disappointing??
Ryte
You could alternatively say the Nugs gave them 2 wins and finally turned it on since. The Wolves overachieved, losing to Denver in 6 or 7 is still an accomplishment
T-Wolves just OBLITERATED the Nuggets in game 6! BEAT DOWN!!
Stable and on point Dr Taylor
Jokic is a bad man!!! He loves to play a Joke on everyone. Lol he will dangle that Win and then quickly take it away. 😂😂
Football isn’t basketball
Yes losing to the Nuggets is ok because they are better. Period.
Judging the season on one game is narrow minded.
If Minny loses in game 6 or game 7 OSS still a successful season.
What’s a shame is how 22 year old Anthony Edwards came and took the team from Karl Anthony Towns - why isn’t KAT the leader? Also Rudy Gobert is a liability because he doesn’t give the Timberwolves no offense and can’t stop Nikola Jokic on defense.
No one can stop Jokic
@@otislamar8613 Dwight Howard did
@@otislamar8613they neutralized jokic in game 2 when gobert didn’t play we know you can’t completely shut him down but you a 4x DPOY you can’t contain him to a degree? Then on top of that he provides nothing on offense his whole game is defense so if you can’t do what you’re great at your a liability.
KAT is not the leader because he’s soft!
Is everyone at your work place a capable leader???
Lol. 🤡
ONE REASON WHY THEY DON'T WANT NUGGETS TO WIN OR TO REPEAT IS B CUZ THE NUGGETS WILL BE THE FIRST CHAMPION SHIP TEAM TO COME BACK TWO GAMES DOWN GO NUGGETS
Y’all call AntMan Jordan and it Janked him 😂
Ayyyyye, he pissin on yall.
Game 7 says otherwise
Both these teams just taking turns blowing each other out 😂
They key to their success is that can they get naz, naw, or even jaden to average 15 points and 8 rebounds in a series and play mentally tough they should help free up kat and ant to shoot better. Defensively they hopefully can match almost anybody.
The thing is, the Nuggets are so resilient. They could modify their offense & defense as soon as the opponent changes theirs...
This show man😤. I knew acho take before I listen to the video and 15 seconds in I was right smh.
Where’s he wrong
The Wolves looked like the 1996 (72-10) Chicago Bulls on defense against the world champions and MVP. The Wolves were simply outstanding. That's it. I could of sworn MJ was wearing #5 when he (Edwards) was LEADING his team. Denver lost because they literally got beat in EVERY department. That wasn't luck or Denver's players having a bad game- the Wolves were the culprit.
I don't get it people use the Lebron's lost when he was 22 as a failure and he took a horrible team to the finals, I mean people and Media shouldn't count that lost and don't use it against him, but that lost for people and media count as a one more failure and he was also 22.
So ANT losing would be a failure.
Crazy how these channels always avoid to have the Nuggets as their main topic? They hardly ever give em their credit and talk about why they the best
thats bs
He doesn’t want the attention right now it’s the 2nd Round calm down lol
No one cares about the Nuggets outside of Denver. These channels run on clicks and likes.
@@Chessbox09like Minnesota is any more popular bro 😂
Have not been for awhile but we have the Ant man now so@Trazor2k0
bruh said kat is old lol tf are we talking about 😂
Timberwolves got this dude named Tim Conley. He's really good at building teams, helped the nuggets get to where they are, and helped with this wolves team build. I wouldn't be too worried if I was a wolves fan.
*Tim Connely
Mike Conley
Every Champion in NBA has had a thing called growing pains since he likes analytics FACTS smh
This aged well 😂
SHADY BE ACTIN LIKE HIS CAREER WAS SO GREAT. BOTH OF HIS SB's he ran 0 yards.
Watching the Joker play is like watching honey drip 😂, im dam near about to start watching the WNBA 😂
Did you watch James harden
Nah frfr
So true😄💯
fundamentals wins
This aged well😂😂😂
you can have the series as a disappointment or a failure. but its a successful season.
These guys didn’t expect Wolves to beat Suns
Acho is reaching now. The Wolves are still a young team with NOW playoff experience. This will help them in the future.
Ant Man is young but I don’t consider Minnesota has a young team.
@@KingoftheSouth78Facts the wolves have the perfect mix of vets and young players OKC is young Mike Karl Rudy kyle all have been around for 10 years or longer for the wolves
Guys. Blessed. Joy stay blessed been a while. Love the growth
lol!
Ant knows....
Wolves didn't let them go or off the hook. The Nuggets are that good Shady n Acho!!!!
The team is showing progress. They are a 2nd round team as of this year.
Sounds as if Someone has Never seen or maybe misunderstanding growth...
if T-Wolves lose game 6, Rudy Gobert deserve to spend more time with his family...
The Wolves played their best game when he was away though…
they gone trade jimmy butler back to the Timberwolves 😂😂
Acho sounds stupid because he tries way too hard to be smart.
Football guys talking basketball
Every time Acho talks the opposite happens
Hey ESPN can I get paid to talk about things that aren’t relevant to the topic?
