Is he gonna keep giving us .679 TS%, or regress to the mean? It feels like and looks like he keeps improving every year, but there is going to be a limit at some point. In six seasons so far: .516, .609, .586, .609, .612, .679. Not a very strong trend line before this last season. It seems aberrati...

I remember dominating the Mavs in the regular season not so long ago. Can’t put any stock in that. Playoffs are a new game.

The Suns are clear favorites to win the series by the bookmakers so far.

Just checked DraftKings; they have us at -115 and Minny at -105. That makes us the technical favorites but not “clear” favorites.

FanDuel is similar: PHX -120, MIN -102.

I don’t think I’ll ever forgive John Wick for killing him.

I'm sure we'll hear plenty about it for the next week, but this is a huge series for Anthony Edwards. In a bizarre way, it seems the Wolves are under more pressure than the Suns to win the series. How is that bizarre? The Wolves are favored. They went into the last day of the season tied for #1. Th...

Not that crazy of an idea. It’s all about saving face.

I doubt a Netanyahu government would perceive an ineffective attack as “saving face,” even if it’s in retaliation for an ineffective attack.

Suns in 5

Let's take it one game at a time.

Suns in 1. Timberwolves so utterly humiliated that they forfeit the series rather than subject themselves to it again.

What about people’s rights?

Gobert would be awesome on this team tbh…you can’t use him as connector much, but he’d help the defense so much and he’d give us a real lob threat. I’d love to find someone in that mold. I don’t follow college basketball, but Yves Messi seems like the closest to that based on what I’ve read. Maybe ...

This summer, Nurk is duplicated in a transporter accident. Next season, we are unstoppable.

It’s crazy to win 46 games and your reward is the 9-10 game. I guess that’s better than winning 46 games and not having a chance at all (or winning 48 and not having a chance at all, as happened to us about a decade ago), so kudos to the league for coming up with the PIT. As for the up and comers, d...

14 teams between 46 and 51 wins

In the West, #10 this year has a better record than #4 last year.

Nurk sits with three fouls and we don’t go to Ewwbanks. Nice.

Was that the best Q we’ve played all season? Reminded me of our 1st Q in our 1st preseason game.

TV Tropes calls that “bookends.”

Wolves shooting 83%, down by 9.

So if we win this and LAL win, we play ... The Nuggets? I can't keep track.

We play whoever ends up at #3. I don’t know how all the tiebreakers work out, but if MIN loses their last game while DEN and OKC win theirs, MIN definitely ends up at #3.

I urge proportional retaliation: Israel should send Iran a bunch of drones to shoot down, then call it even.

Eric Gordon out:

At least Drew’s available. Yay.

We had a worse record last year and managed to finish 4th…what a weird season in the west last year Wow. Good observation. I didn't remember that. This year’s pretty weird too, with the #10 team being 45-36. Yep, kind of the opposite of last year. This is what the play-in tournament is all about. G...
