Good time out. Wolves do not have playoff intensity. They are too lax.

I like this team for some reason.


The NBA's Cinderella team. Between them and the Knicks. Love both ANT and Brunson.

McDaniels is the best role player in basketball.

Hard for me not to see the Warriors getting the arse kicked in this series. The only way they win this is if Ant Edwards plays like Jalen Green.

This was my concern. It turns into a track meet and the Dubs sub a ton while the Wolves might wear down.

Hope Minny can hold up.

This series is going 7. No chance either is wiping the floor with the other. Both teams are elite.

From a fundamental standpoint it is better for a man to have nothing but be under the protection of Jesus Christ than for him to have everything he could ever want yet be completely without.
