Minnesota resident D.J. Hammond: This is a huge deal for Minnesota and the Timberwolves to be going to the second round. And I'm honestly super excited.

Minnesota resident Andrew Osman: Lakes. You can take a sailboat out, and like see the sea downtown, see the lights when they light it up for the Timberwolves!

Colorado resident Carissa Vanroe: What’s not to love about the mountains? You need a boat for a lake, who has boat money these days?

Minnesota resident Jennifer Magner: I’m a big cross country skier. So I like that I can ski in the city all winter long. You don't get that kind of weather in Denver.

Colorado resident Mike Sparkman: It’s a beautiful place, but if we think we have bad winters, stick around there for a couple days. You’ll want to get out as quick as you can.

Colorado resident Nate Derman: Do they have a mascot? The Timberwolves? I don’t pay any attention to Minnesota. I will for the first four games then they’ll be history again.
