Mike Conley is now the 2nd oldest player remaining in the playoffs. He is only younger than Al Horford.

I'm still impressed how Mike take care of his body. A lot of players are washed or at least slow down a lot passed 34-35... if Mike can maintain this, i can see him remain a good player for the next 2 or 3 years.

Reddit says if a team eliminated Durant, they made the finals 10 out 11 times. Only team that didn’t was Memphis in 2013
all I ever needed was somebody with some reason who can keep me sane
Ever since I can remember, I've been keepin' it together, but I'm feelin' strange

Gonna paraphrase Shannon Sharpe here. Again this is not a direct quote but close enough “Ant is the 2nd player in nba history to have consecutive 40 point playoff games at age 22. The only other play to do so was Kobe. Kobe was 4 days younger than Ant.”

“In game 1 when the Wolves ran ball screens, and Murray was covering the ball handler while Jokic covered the screener, the Nuggets gave up over 2 points per screen.”

“Rudy Gobert allowed the fewest points per direct isolation among players to defend at least 175 isos in the league this year.” Also mentioned “this is not new, his numbers were similar in his last few years in Utah.”

Re: Fun facts and unreal stats
I just learned that Ant is the only player in franchise history to ever have consecutive 40 point games. Guess he isn’t happy just breaking all the records, he is starting a few as well.

Anthony Edwards is tied for second in franchise history in total 40-point games...
1. Karl-Anthony Towns 13
t2. Kevin Love - 10
t2. Anthony Edwards - 10
...in regular season alone. With playoffs added, Ant and KAT are tied at 13.

Karl can still dine out on 62 until Ant eventually catches up

So Rudy is the first wolf to ever win DPOY. Naz is the first wolf to ever win 6MOY. By default this is our first year winning both 6MOY and DPOY . Like KG said, break all the records

There are only 4 other Western Conference teams in NBA history to start off the playoffs 6-0 and score at least 105 points in each game, and they all eventually won the NBA title that season:
* 1982 Lakers
* 1985 Lakers
* 1987 Lakers
* 2017 Warriors

Very interesting. If you believe those stats apply to this years teams we have no chance of winning. I don't think those stats apply to us.

Ant and Jaden are both +88 through 6 games. This is tied for #1 in the league during the playoffs.
