I thought Anthony Edwards could come back.

Turns out I was right.

I thought the Timberwolves had a very good shot against San Antonio.

I think I was right there.

And so I was going to make a bet just myself.

Then I texted some buddies.

They agreed with me that that was way mispriced, way undervalued.

And yada, yada, yada.

All of a sudden, I, for myself and on the behalf of a few friends and making a cumulative statement,

$10,000 to win $2 million bet on the Minnesota Timberwolves to win the championship.

They were down to 30-1 before yesterday's game.

They are now 50-1 after yesterday's game on Hard Rock.

Which means, by the way, that bet, that $10,000 ticket is now worth $40,000.

It's still way up in what the perceived value of it is.

But obviously, last night...

Stung.

And so there's the bet context of it.

We'll get to more on that if we need to as the season and series evolves.

I think the biggest thing to come out of yesterday's game actually was that Io left the game with a heel injury, which to me means his season's over.

He is a young player who has not yet been paid, who had a calf injury, a calf strain, and then all of a sudden it migrated down to the heel.
