WATCH TIMBERWOLVES

“I thought Embiid, by no fault of his own, completely discombobulated them, and I he was minus 25, and it felt that way. Yeah. I I honestly I'm I'm surprised he came back. I did I just did I mean, it's it's appendicitis or whatever it is. It's a it's a big deal, and he came back pretty pretty early from it. I thought he looked pretty good, all things considered.”

“I think there's a real discussion to be had about Oklahoma and San Antonio are who they are. And did Denver just flat out miss its chance at a second ring? Is the window closed for them? Because Murray and Yokoch are getting older. Gordon, it just I think you just have to assume that he's just not gonna be healthy for six straight weeks in the playoffs ever again.”

“I am all in on LeBron going to Golden State next year. K. Oh. Can I can I have Kevin Durant and Clay Thompson join him? Let's go full Expendables. Kevin Durant and Clay Thompson to Golden State, Butler's expiring to Houston. We'll throw Clint Capela and whatever else makes the small sellers make it work to Dallas. Maybe they get a second round pick.”

“Celtics were unbelievable. When cat when Peyton Pritchard scores 28 plus points the last two years, they're 15 and out. It felt like he had 65 points tonight at one point. I was just like, because he just made 12 baskets in a row. Is this ever gonna stop? It was Kobe's 81 game, but he only had 32 points. They're twenty four and one when he scores 25 plus points.”

“I was watching a game, and only sometime in the second or third quarter did it jot did it, like, jog in my brain. Like, oh, it's weird that I haven't seen any shots of Kevin Durant on the bench. Like, normally, that's a thing that just happens when a star player is out. They just cut to them. What are they wearing? What's their reaction? Fred Van Vliet is all over the television. And and and, you know, just but they won tonight, and they're they're still winning.”

“Gobert, with a great team of defenders around him, has taken Jokic totally out of the out of his rhythm, totally out of his usual game. And the way I was looking at the tracking data over the weekend, now this is before game four. And I because I was curious having watched game three. His post ups are down. Like, he just doesn't want a post up against Colbert.”

“I wanna start with the injuries to Minnesota. Got it. Because they're up three one in this series. And if even just Ant were healthy, they would probably win the series even though they only have the one home game left and be a dangerous team in the next round. And now Ant availability is in question for an unknown period of time. And Di Vincenzo, the dude is just a winner and a gamer. Played every game.”

“Lost to Houston round two as a rookie, then lost to them round one the second year. Blew a three one lead to 2020 Denver in the bubble. Beat a really young Memphis team, then lost to the Clippers in '21 and '6 after Kauai left the famous Terrence man game. Just an inexplicable loss. One of the most inexplicable bosses of the decade lost to Dallas in June.”
