The Wolves Owned All 4,700 Basketball Squares

Minnesota's defensive effort in Game 2 was a transformative sight. In what appeared to be an effort to become one with their team name, they swarmed, smashed, hounded, snarled, took, and destroyed for 24 straight minutes to start the game. Not an inch of the court was safe.

Joel Embiid Is Already Legend

by John Wilmes

Joel Embiid carries the weight of expectations differently than others. As his fanbase and national media have constructed stories that have him as the potential messiah in a decade-long process of experimental team-building, coupled with the unusual rabidity of Philadelphia sports fans, he has accepted this role sincerely.

Why does Bochy want to turn this guy into a star? He has better options.

Cut him some slack, Giants fans. He definitely lost his cool. He owned up to it and apologized. His teammates/coaches, while acknowledging he made a mistake, are still supporting him. Fiery guy in an incredibly intense situation. Give him some space to learn from it.

As to the pitching...it's too easy to fixate on "5 home runs." The sample size is too small, as was his 0.00 ERA from the regular season. With the exception of game 2, he's pretty much dominated righties (regular season WHIP: 0.69; postseason WHIP: 0.86). He's obviously struggled a lot more against lefties.
