Wasn't going to believe that one was over until it was over.
(And I still can't believe Tyus didn't hit that 3)

At 2 , Finchy now has the second most playoff wins in Wolves franchise history.
😳
The Wolves are the number seven seed and are at 2-2 in their series. Who would have thought that before the season?
I predicted them for the 6 seed, but figured they’d be blown out of the postseason.
Byron has reached 1.0 rWAR as of yesterday. In 9 games!
The rest of the Twins’ position players have combined for 0.6 rWAR. Criminitly.
So the reason the Wolves collapsed in game 3 is because there was no protestor, right?
if it hasn’t already been seen, it was a heck of a takedown.
A+ reaction time and tackling form by this security guard as another protestor protests T Wolves owner Glen Taylor for killing millions of chickens. #GrindCitypic.twitter.com/pXAFMAJXQL
I can’t unsee the “TIMBERWOLWES” in the mug image.
My first ever TWolves game was a good one! So much fun. Target center was rocking!
good pick for your first game!
400,000.
Much better than 4,000
I went to four this year (2-2). I could have stood to catch that one. I’ve still only been to one playoff game - a loss to the Rockets a couple of years ago.
I had to commend a friend of mine for wearing Ukraine colors this morning. Of course, he was wearing a Blues jersey...
This photo of Harden and Embiid is so incredibly perfect.
I absolutely cannot stand Embiid and I hope they lose.
I'm just now finding out about the Memphis coach's comments after game 4 and, like, what an asshole. That was far and away the best officiated game of the series!
I think he’s playing the refs for game 5.
For sure. Also Morant. After watching Ja for the last four games, I’ve revised my opinion of his game downward. Can’t shoot, can’t defend.
Kind of, yeah. I'm thinking I've only been seeing the gaudy highlights of him. Over this series so far, the Wolves have done a pretty good job of making him look human.

And no one is saying, wow, D-Lo really shot great this year. Ja can finish. No doubt about that. But beyond that, he's pedestrian.
Yup.
I'd love to see league averages. My sense of Ja was that he was great at getting in close to score, especially given his size.
Just curious: how many times has the first pitch of the game and the last pitch of the game been a HR?
