    Epic choke job by Denver, very little stands between Boston and #18 now.

    The best was the camera shot of one of the Wolves’ young player’s reaction from the bench! Priceless!!!

    I tell you what I would do and put the team back in the new vogue with skilled ridiculously Big men …. and trade our 17 and some meaningful asset to make sure we could draft Edey. A whole lot cheaper and he’d be a whole lot better and obviously a whole lot BIGGER than any player on any team. Dude is NOT a sloth. Rebounds like a mutha protects the rim with damn near 8’ wingspan to go with 7’5” in shoes and an almost 32” vertical. Can go left or right down low with nice touch and book it will become a 3 point shooter at some point. Has played four years in the Big 10 with multiple major awards and just turned 22 like 10 days ago. What would it take to add to 17 to move up “far enough” where we could take him? Haven’t they been mocking him mid first round? Maybe some team some number of picks ahead that doesn’t need a Big man we could come up with something “they” need?

    Love to see Denver lose but I do think this makes a C Bags title more likely. The Wolves offense is still pretty feast or famine and I could see them having a really hard time scoring in the half court if the C Bags have Porzingis back. That would be a toss up series for me.

    The trick, as with Minnesota, is to replace him with someone who is a better fit. And who plays D

    How come? He literally was the one making it difficult on Jokic. Jokic feasts against Rudy and struggles against KAT. He also kept the team scoring when Ant couldn't during their run in the 2nd half. He scored the most points, tied for most rebs, good efficiency and a huge put back late in the game to put it to sleep.
    I don't think I ever agreed with a take from you

    Minny wins this game because of KAT and Reid

    Towns and Gobert will eat Porzingas weak a** frame alive by the end of game 2. He cannot take their defense, they will destroy him.

    Sota defense would completely destroy the C Bags offense down the stretch .

    Sota has to stay healthy , this is its biggest challenge imo
