Wolves beat Clips in play-in game. Good to see what a healthy team can do over a season.

KAT seemed to be pressing too hard. The Clippers did a great job taking him out. If Edwards keeps playing like that in the playoffs, this could be a great coming out party for him, even if they don't beat Memphis. Maybe a changing of the guard in Minny? As a casual observer, I was really impressed with Edwards. With KAT, however, I was rather disappointed.

Wolves take game one from Memphis. Three pointers were Minnesotas friend.

When you have to rely on the Clippers to secure a draft pick...

Scored a ticket for Saturday night, game 4. Hopefully the Wolves are up at least 2-1 by then.

I’m more concerned about the loss of Booker than I am the loss of the game. If he’s out, all bets are off. I mean, after all, he IS the league MVP. :coffee: :coffee:

Oh, there was more than one of those. It was surreal watching some of the shots they were taking. Especially in the 2nd half.

Of course he isn't, he's not even the best player in the history of the franchise. But he is pretty special. Not too many centers make a turnaround 3pt from 27 ft to win a playoff game. Embiid does though. Helluva game for him - couldn't have played worse in the first half and then to come out of the locker room and play as well as he did in the 2nd half and OT. That's an MVP right there. :thumb:

As Barkley said after the game, the Timberwolves might be one of the dumbest teams in NBA history. Can't play that stupid and expect to win consistently. Shame, as they have something there, but just dumb as rocks.

Saying now Booker's out 2-3 weeks. Means he won't be back in the Pelicans series and he'll miss a good chunk of the series against Dallas if they get that far. Dallas should have Luka back by then, although Brunson is doing his best to make that not crazy important. Good news is for Phoenix that if they get to the Conference finals they should have him back as they'll need him to have a chance against a resurgent Warriors team. A healthy Golden State looks to be the favorites at this point, even against whoever comes out of the East.

Second youngest team, so they have that excuse for now. Dumb shots, and letting the Griz score 21 straight points without a timeout. Crazy man.

I thing that one is destined to go 7. Might actually see a few 7 game series out of the 1st round.
