The Wolves' electric touch
Good morning. Anthony Edwards and Jaden McDaniels rekindle what was special about Minnesota's run last season to fell the Lakers. Plus, Gary Trent Jr. Day is Wisconsin's newest holiday. Let's basketball.
Grrrevenge denied
Good morning. In a fun twist, the Grizzlies led the Thunder by 29. (OKC still won.) Also, the Clutch Player of the Year lived up to the title and the Clippers asserted their dominance. Let's basketball.
Rockets don't flinch
Good morning. Game 2 of Rockets vs. Warriors was a veritable bloodbath. Ironically, a different game featured an unsettling amount of blood. Let's basketball.
Are the Bucks ever going to do something about the Pacers?
Good morning. Milwaukee talks more smack during the game, but still loses to Indiana. Meanwhile, the Grizzlies are not playing the same game as the Thunder. Let's basketball. Something that's been consistent about the Milwaukee Bucks over the past two seasons is that they want to
KaWTF

The Warriors' play-in curse is *over*
The Warriors, who a few weeks ago looked reborn as legitimate championship contenders, almost let their nightmare finish to the regular season extend into the play-in. After racking up a 20-point lead against a Grizzlies team that looked ready to quit, Golden State slowly bled out until Memphis had caught
It's time for the Bucks to do *something*
Good morning. Milwaukee is tripping through Giannis Antetokounmpo's prime, with just one playoff series win since the 2021 championship. If they can't make a run now, a major overhaul is required. Let's basketball. A championship buys you precious little runway in the NBA. The
