Probably right up there with the recent Denver win in that we beat two teams that are playing really well of late. I'm trying to forget the Atlanta game....this helps.

You got the push for the Ant assist bet right?

It was actually 5 or over. I had to bet $290 to win $200. So yeah, I was very fortunate.

I’m so confused what they should at the deadline. I’m getting excited again

If Miami is in deal making mode, which they obviously are, I'd love to find a way to get Kel'el Ware

Thanks Kek, I had to sweat it out for sure.

Abe's "I can't wait until the end of the game to start my DVR Review" DVR Review:

- For the 2nd time this week I'm going to write "That was the best game of the season."

- This one hit different. I thought Denver played terrible on Sunday. A lot of little things went against the Wolves early in this one. A call here. A bounce there. Another call there. But something was different about the vibe, too. Edwards played with extra energy, but he wasn't the only one... including the head coach.

- I was going to write for most of the 3rd quarter about "getting over the hump." They'd get close, but not quite there for a ton of different reasons.

- The defense was phenomenal. As Jim Pete said, the Wolves were competing in the first half. They just hit tough shots. The Wolves got even better in the 2nd half. Incredible defense.

- Great defense... sans one guy. Josh Minott. I assume they talked about backdoors specifically... because that was a crazy quick hook. That's a confidence shaker there...

- NAW is playing for millions of dollars right now. So good for him to have games like this. Bad for the Wolves salary cap total next year if they try to keep him.

- Play of the Game... 7:40 of the 3rd when the Wolves were battling and battling to get over the hump... I thought to remember it for later... Edwards has Gobert under the rim. He throws it just a bit off, but it's catchable. Gobert fumbles it out of bounds. Edwards throws up his arms. Mad at Gobert? Or Himself? Edwards goes right back to Gobert next time down for a dunk. After that, the Wolves just kept coming strong. I like to think it was amazing leadership from Edwards. Maybe it was?

- I was never a huge fan of Durant. He's fine as a superstar goes. But damn... I think I'm going to miss that guy. He's just a professional scorer in every way. He's so cool. Smooth. A truly unique, and magnificent all-time talent.

- The entire 3rd quarter was incredible.

- Another fun game!



[Note: The officiating was... ummm...well... ummm... errr... "uneven" and "inconsistent." They were rough for both teams, but a Wolves fan would probably find a few examples.]

I would love Ware also. I would be shocked if he was on the table. Such an interesting spot the wolves are in. They are starting to mesh, your staying to play a bit more. Randle getting healthier and playing a lot better. They are showing more flexibility based on situation for the lineup. But then the offseason is interesting

Maybe Jaquez instead? Would love Jalen Duren as well.

Chris Finch's emotions tonight was apparently a carry over from a diatribe of a film session today.

Julius Randle: "You should've seen him this morning."

Nickeil Alexander-Walker: "He woke up choosing violence. ... Everybody was getting yelled at."
