[Jon Krawczynski] Anthony Edwards out with an illness tonight. That means he will won’t be eligible for postseason awards.
We will tell our children tales of the 10x All-NBA Mikal Bridges
Did he shit his brains out

Looks like wolves will be matching up with the Lakers RD1
Not so fast.
The Wolves are only a half-game back on Houston and play them once more for the tiebreak. Even with a loss tonight (not guaranteed), the Wolves still control their own fate for 5th seed.
I would imagine the Wolves probably prefer the 6th seed at this point. Less demand to win games and press down the stretch, and end up more likely in the non OKC side of the bracket.
six would probably make the most sense and be the easier path for us so I have zero doubt we’re gonna be the five seed
Have some hope! The scenario where the Wolves get the 6th seed, but also Denver climbs to third and OKC falls to second is still a possibility.
Idk.
Luka always gives the Wolves a ton of trouble, especially if he has a roll threat. He forces Rudy to come out of deep drop in a way that seems to stress the scheme.
Jokic can also absolutely punish the Wolves, but I think they seem more at peace with him cooking them if they can shut down most of the other stuff Denver does.
I honestly don’t know who I’d rather play in the 1st round. Don’t love either option, personally.
Promise? 😏
Lakers will probably finish as the 3 seed and I’m guessing the loser of the Wolves Rockets game on 4⁄10 will be the 6 seed.
These aren’t last season’s lakers, not gonna end well for you this time
“These aren’t last season’s Lakers” is the new “Lakers in 5”
Lakers in 4 buddy
luka’s gonna love cancun
Sure, in June, Ant should be well settled by then he can show Luka around
You guys are 2-10 against top 3 seeds and want to talk about June. Please keep being delusional wonder how that goes for you
they aren’t ready for marcus fart to lose them the series shooting 12⁄40 from 3
I think the bigger thing is Jaden’s health. If he’s not playing that’s a big hit regardless of who we end up against.
Deandre Ayton was the missing piece.
Nuggets have just as much of a chance to be the 3rd seed as wolves have to take 5th. First round match ups can end in any combination of
nuggets vs rockets
nuggets vs wolves
lakers vs rockets
lakers vs wolves.
I fear we won’t know until after the last game of the season.
Don’t underestimate Houstons ability to fuck things up.
Im still taking the wolves at 5
Lakers (to Cancun) in 5?
May be a blessing in disguise. Wolves defense is much better with Ant not playing.
Also the pressure of not needing to play every single game is lifted. Wolves still have some back-to-backs coming up, now he can fully rehab that knee for the playoffs.
Sure, but the offense is so much worse (especially half-court offense), which is much less ideal against Pistons’ playstyle.
If people watch the games Luka is a much more consistent defender than him this year
There kind of the opposite.
Ant plays good on ball D, but he doesn’t give af off ball
Luka can use his size off ball, but struggles to stay in front
You can’t give 100 percent to all aspects of the game. If he wasn’t putting so much into his offense he’d have more left in the tank for defense. It real just depends on where you want to put your energy. A good team has a good mix of these players
This has been Luka too. You never watched the games.
So he will or he won’t?
he will wont
He won’t will
I didn’t mind the rule before but now I hate it /s
Everybody cares when it effects their favorite players
Shows how Reddit doesn’t care for Ant people were flipping out about Cade and nobody really seems to care here
Bummer
Not sure if I’m missing something?
The Wolves have 7 games remaining. Any needs 6 to reach 65.
Seems to me like he’ll still be eligible as long as he plays every game after tonight.
He only palys 3 mins in one game. It doesn’t count.
Ah, okay. Thanks.
Nature Calls (Ant to piss out both ends) - Finch
If I’m not mistaken, there is a 62 game injury designation that allows ant to still be eligible, or I read something wrong on Reddit which wouldn’t surprise me lol
He will won’t
He won’t, Will
CPOY isn’t up for grabs, Shai was -1000 yesterday
Shai wasn’t even close if you ask anyone other than Vegas
I understand non-thunder fans don’t like shai but how could you say a guy leading the league in clutch points (both per game and total) “wasn’t even close” for an award based on how good you are in the clutch
i’m sure
That was always recency bias doesn’t matter now anyway
Shai is averaging most clutch ppg of all time
Cool Ant is doing it on 10% higher TS his shots in the clutch are way more valuable comparatively
Well that’s just not true. Shai has 66.8 TS in the clutch and Ant is 67.9 lmao. Shai also has 21 assists to 7 turnovers compared to 8 assists to 5 for Ant and Shai also has a much better record + better moments
ANT isn’t shooting 10% better TS in the clutch this season.
His TS% in the clutch is 67.9%.
Shai’s is 66.8%.
So what you’re saying is Ant is better
lol we’re gonna sweep y’all if you even make it that far, we already made you guys our son, we’ll make you our grandson this time
Like Tatum fans before them, shai arguments always devolve into “our team is better” like that’s relevant to the discussion…
And he shouldn’t be. Play the damn games.
Oh no! Anyways…..Our fanbase loves hanging banners that double as toilet paper
