44 seconds left. Reggie, really wanting the Nuggets to win, “what will kill you would be an offensive rebound here” as Towns slams the putback dunk. Brilliant

The fact KAT is basically a model teammate, causes no team-killing toxic drama that we see all across the league, has embraced Ant, Rudy, everything else, is something he doesn’t get nearly enough credit for.

Russell. Vando. Beasley. There is no remorse to be had. None. We can rest easy knowing the only actual bad thing about the Rudy trade is the picks. Which might not be that bad. And we can firmly state the Conley trade was good. Not a masterstroke, because he’s ancient. But good.

KAT owning Jimmy on his own floor with all his best teammates around is everything we needed folks. Bravo. Incredible win. STUNNING win given how the first half went. They did it again. My goodness.

Rosas had a chance to retain Tyus Jones for $7 million a year but he decided to keep Juancho. Related: Tyus would be the perfect starter for this team and it’s not close.

Long-ass thread time. Reminder! The Wolves paid the going rate for a prime all-star player. Let’s take a look at recent examples. Try thinking of these in “Wolves Terms.” What would it have taken to meet/exceed these? Anyhow, the price tags are consistently outrageous. Here goes:

I’m mad because we wasted the Jaden game, the Dallas cold shooting game, a home game, and the Marc Davis game all in one shot. Luka even fell down a couple times dnd didn’t get the whistle Brothers will hand him next time, along with a complementary flagrant. Pretty damn rough

This has been a spectacular season for the Wolves, and I am glad we got an extra month and a half to show for it, including a classic series against Denver. They made it to the final 3 teams remaining. And as someone who isn’t championship or bust, I would do it again instantly.

Mind keeps shifting between “this series is over” and “it’s most definitely not, Ant/KAT are due for some cold games, Jokić was just reminded he is the MVP and we are 100% in for a foul fest game tomorrow and/or Sunday.” So what I’m asking for is validation on the former please:

*Don’t tweet about the KAT stuff, don’t do it, DONT DO IT*
Folks we are 10-3 on the year without him, a better win % than with him, and some of those losses were without Rudy. He is going to make $50 million next year. I love the guy. When is a rational discussion safe to have?

Ballsiest move we have ever seen. Maybe in the history of the sport, I am scared shitless about the picks, but one more time: this team was headed straight to 10th next season and just wasn’t good enough. “Good vibes” was never a reason to waste more time. You know it. I know it.

Probably in the minority, but I’m less offended than most by an elite team coasting for 2 and a half quarters, promptly waking up, and taking care of business with ease. Tale as old as time in hoops. Whatever.

Wolves -4.5. I can never shake the PTSD. 3 time MVP Jokic is going to come out and maybe play the best game of his life. And yet: home crowd, dad Rudy, 2-0 lead. Tons of motivators for both sides. I’m nervous….but: 55/45 Wolves.

I think tomorrow’s game will genuinely come down to KAT staying out of foul trouble. That’s on him, but it’s also on Tony Brothers assuming he’s the guy. His work on Jokic is the difference.

KAT comes back in 4 weeks. Team and KAT agree all the drives are bad for his knee. KAT reinvents himself and becomes the shooter and roller everyone needs him to be to fully unlock the team offense. Champs. This is me being in denial.

Attending an NBA game is MIND NUMBINGLY expensive. I do ok in life and can’t possibly justify the expense. It’s a $500+ affair for a family, for a shitty seat. And an opponent likely load managing. What happened to being able to turn in a can of beans to get in the building?

Glen Taylor Eulogy: kept and insisted the team stay in Minnesota, was cheap beyond hope for first 2/3 of tenure, yet gave KG “the contract” that changed the CBA. Hired horrible people. Alienated more. Yet: rarely meddled, got a lot better towards the finish line and current era.

It’s not often talked about how big of a disappointment Jaylen Nowell has been this year. Low key one of the biggest issues this team has. His chucking has been a catastrophe. Has given them 3 or more 3’s just twice this year. 3rd on team in attempts (KAT aside). 26% since Dec.

McDaniels shot 30% from 3 after the break and is shooting 22% in the playoffs. One of many factors making the team offense untenable. I still believe that’s the primary factor here, as was the narrative much of the season.

I understand the “Conley had a bad night, and the refs had a 4 point blunder on Naz calls” argument. But the turnovers, and the extra possessions they generate, remain the singular issue keeping this team from true contention. Can it be fixed? How?

Doogie suggesting Garza over Anderson tonight and given the guy at least has some bulk and can nail a shot I don’t hate it. It won’t happen obviously and it’s a silly/desperate idea, but point is they won’t survive a single disastrous 3 minute Kyle sequence.

The Portland/KAT stuff. It’s a clear match. Portland would overpay too. Both sides of the KAT spectrum can debate the basketball reasons to keep or trade and have good points. But there just isn’t a good reason yet to avoid exploring a move for financial reasons.

They needed to do better in the KAT trade. Much better. Simple as that. Something was inevitable, sure. But the timing: insane. I get Randle and Dante are decent. Don’t talk yourself into it for “salary cap” reasons, kindly be less of a dork. This stinks.

I don’t give the slightest hint of a shit that Connelly spoiled the trade market for the Lakers, Suns, Warriors, Nets and Heat. Well done. And once more: look at what Paul George went to the Clippers for. Cheers.

You can say what you want about fit, attitude, turnovers, any number of things, but the reality is Russell has become critical to this thing, and trading him for a bench wing and a bad contract just isn’t going to cut it. It’s a tough spot with no perfect solution. They need him.

No other way to put it: that’s a high quality, professional road win against the 3rd best team in the West. Any asterisk of Irving being out is cancelled out by a horrifying outing for Ant. They demolished the Mavs anyways. NAWZ bailed everyone out. Fantastic stuff.
