    LmAoo Minnesota thought he wasn’t consistent enough or was the problem … now they get to watch him cook.

    Even when he shot poorly , he still had b2b2b stretches and was the reason why they won the last 2 games.

    And they had vando and under appreciated him.

    Crazy how that worked out bad for minny. Gave 5 1st rd picks and dlo and vando for an aging Conley, Rudy gobert and a quick exit lol

    If Deangelo can step into his role and start playing with confidence, this team could definitely win it all. He has all star talent and will keep getting looks since AD and Bron will be doubled, could easily score 20+ per game if he keeps the confidence up
