On the Wolves' side of things, credit to them, they're trying Wemby.

They're trying to score inside on him, but he went for 12 blocks last night, a playoff record.

He was blocking so many shots, they were just like, you know what, if you goaltend, that's fine.

It looks cool.

There was a couple of them, for sure.

I mean, the second one was pretty obvious.

Terran Shannon Jr.

hit the backboard before Wemby got it, but...

In all the hype of the three blocks on the first three possessions, even the referees were referees watching a boxing fight.

Wemby, I thought also, this is like the first time he's faced real playoff defense.

No offense to the Blazers.

Great defensive team.

That was their first time through.

They've got a lot of young guys.

This Wolves team is much more experienced.

They've been going up against Nikola Jokic.

So they are at playoff intensity.

And Wemby was having to deal with the physicality they were bringing, the schemes that Chris Finch was throwing out there.

That's just a lot of cool stuff happening for a game one.

I enjoyed it.
