Carmelo’s first playoff game was in Minnesota

@t_boj2003 @DaneMooreNBA He’s basically saying the team ignored or failed to diagnose a concussion. There’s no consequence for him at all - Which is fine. It’s sports, nothing super serious here. But you’re just implying a lot by saying that.

I’m in the “trying to be happy about the season while also realizing we totally blew that series” boat right now and I think I’m sinking.

We were going to record a @10000Layups podcast last night after the game but we didn't because we were sad. Sorry.

[Kyle Ratke @Kyle_Ratke]

Just one game. Finchy has put the team in position to win all year, so I'm expecting a big Game 3. Let's go.

[Kyle Ratke @Kyle_Ratke]

3 keys I had written down before game:

- How does Memphis guard Towns?
- DLo bounceback game?
- Who after Ja will step up?

Small ball (forced by Adams' fouls) took Towns out (but KAT also took KAT out)

DLo was miserable again -- need him in Game 3 badly

Memphis is so deep

[Kyle Ratke @Kyle_Ratke]

Curious what the Game 2 adjustment will be for Memphis. Wolves won't be as hot, but DLo won't be as bad, either. Just try to play super physical with KAT and hopes he beats himself? Dare Ant to keep shooting so he can't get that extra step? I'm not really sure.

[Kyle Ratke @Kyle_Ratke]

Feels like Wolves will need 2 of the 3 (Towns/Russell/Edwards) to have good games plus another solid random performance (Prince, Beasley, McDaniels, etc.) to win the series.

The good news is... that seems probable.

[Kyle Ratke @Kyle_Ratke]

Wasn't able to tweet much about Wolves win, but GEEZUS. What a win.

- Edwards is a legit star - not an up-and-coming star

- Huge credit to Towns for bouncing back. If you're gonna hate on him, gotta show respect when he plays well, too

[Bill Simmons @BillSimmons]

Decided to take a sedative before we discuss Ant Man on tonight’s pod with Russillo.

The Wolves project to finish with 47 wins this year, likely as the West's No. 7 seed.

2020-21: 3rd
2019-20: 3rd
2018-19: 9th
2017-18: 8th
