more so was that there are going to be a lot of nights where maybe those shots aren't falling. And maybe it's harder for Shea to get to his spots and get to that mid-range or Jalen Williams. And so I think there's an element of hope that is involved in an approach like that. But I do think a well-coached, disciplined coach

uh defensive minded team could at least put out a plan of we're gonna zone up we're gonna do we're gonna make shea make things tough on shea get the ball out of his hands and then make some of these other guys beat us and the wolves just were never able to do that um in this series at any consistent level but maybe the pacers could maybe the knicks could um You know, we'll see about that.

But I would think that's the one way that I would look at attacking this Thunder team and trying to just say, look, the MVP is not going to beat us. Let's find someone else who will.

Sure, yeah. I mean, you know, this is my 21st season on the Wolves beat, so I've seen the very lowest of lows, and I've seen some pretty good highs. And what I'll remember most of this team is sort of its willingness to... get into the mud and go through it and come out on the other side.

I have seen so many wolves teams in the past who struggled in the middle of a season with injuries, with new players, with schemes that weren't working and just gave up and just gave in and added right to the lottery and hope that, you know, it gets better that way or fired a coach and hopes that that gets better. This team really did stick together and,

And really weathered a lot of difficulties in the first three months of the season and came out playing pretty darn good basketball to get all the way to the Western Conference Finals. I know the fans and I know the players and coaches are really disappointed tonight with how it felt. and they should be. It was an ugly, ugly finish.

But to think that now, with Tim Connolly, with Chris Finch, with Anthony Edwards, the sort of standard for this team is a deep playoff run. You expect to get in the playoffs and you expect to win series, considering that for 16 out of 17 years they missed the playoffs entirely. I think it's something that they should feel really good about, that nothing came easy for this group.

but yet they kept hammering away, and they ultimately did get to be one of the final four teams standing. And that, to me, is something that is admirable without question.
