Chapter 1: What happened in Game 1 between the Timberwolves and Spurs?
This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed human. Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal, but encouraged. It's the enhanced games. Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year. Within probably 10 days, I put on 10 pounds.
I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth. Listen to Superhuman on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

1979, that was a big moment for me. 84 was big to me. I'm Sam Jay. And I'm Alex English. Each episode, we pick a year, unpack what went down, and try to make sense of how we survived it.
Chapter 3: Why are the Cowboys facing challenges this season?
With our friends, fellow comedians, and favorite authors. Like Mark Lamont Hill on the 80s. 84 was a wild year. It was a wild year. I don't think there's a more important year for black people. Listen to Look Back at It on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

This is the Best of the Herd with Colin Cowherd on Fox Sports Radio.
Here we go. Got a good one today. It's a Tuesday. Live.
Chapter 4: What makes the Lions a strong contender in the NFC?
It's the Herd, wherever you may be. Wherever, however. You may be watching or listening. Appreciate you stopping by today. Good stuff. Nick Wright, one hour. Frank Isola on the Knicks win. The most disrespected franchise in the NBA has to be the Minnesota Timberwolves. In the packed Western Conference, they've gone to back-to-back Western Conference finals.
They lead the Spurs now with Wemby 1-0, and we treat them like the Pelicans. And we said yesterday on the show, they actually are kind of built to beat San Antonio. Thick, big, experienced, well-coached. They'll get physical. They're a great fourth-quarter team. And they did it.
Chapter 5: What insights did Nick Wright share about LeBron's postseason performance?
They won game one in San Antonio. And it was a classic T-Wolves game. They've been an unbelievable fourth quarter team, but they just kind of hung around. San Antonio had been red hot from three-point land. They took them out of their game. And then in the fourth quarter, Ant had 11 points. Julius Randle, the guys are walking 19-9, 12 years in the NBA, like the T-Wolves, not really respected.
Clever Mike Conley hit a three. They're just a perfect mix of youth and experience and trunky and physical and long. They're the best team in the NBA in the fourth quarter now in the playoffs. They're number one in basically everything. Offensive rating, defensive rating, point differential, and all that is is experience plus coaching.
And their general manager, Mike Conley, Tim Conley, he's the one that built Denver into a title team. He left Denver.
Chapter 6: Why are the Chiefs set to contend for Super Bowls again?
Have you noticed the Nuggets have overpaid for some players, don't have the bench? The Nuggets aren't as good. He goes to Minnesota, and like Denver, he has built a roster that actually matches up with everybody in the NBA. And we talked about this yesterday. When the playoffs arrive, you got to have a star who can rise above scheme. That's Ant.
That he can just put the ball in his hands, make plays, because you're playing the best coaches. You're facing the best teams. You can't keep out scheming everybody. And these were excellent rosters. When you watch the Western Conference, it reminds me of the SEC five years ago or the Big Ten now. It's just really good. You get real clarity. You can tell who's good.
I don't feel that way in the East, but the T-Wolves have been just giant killers the last several years.
Chapter 7: How do the Timberwolves compare to other teams in the playoffs?
They beat KD and Booker in Phoenix. They beat Jamal Murray and Jokic two different times. They beat Luka and LeBron, and now they got their eyes set on Wemby, and they're a nightmare matchup. I was looking this morning. The starting lineup for the T-Wolves Has a combined 300 playoff games. The Spurs, 36. That is a major problem in the fourth quarter.
Because if you watched Wim... They took Wimby out of his game. They had him off balance. He was 0 for 8 from 3. They took away... They have such length... and excellent athleticism on the perimeter. San Antonio was eating everybody alive on three-point shooting, and they just negated. That's why the Spurs could not pull away.
Chapter 8: What are the implications of the upcoming games for the Knicks and Sixers?
And if you're a San Antonio fan, you do not want these games to be close entering the fourth quarter. That's going to be Minnesota's quarter. They don't have the playoff experience. And if you take Wimby out, Minnesota is actually deeper and better and more physical. So San Antonio, you've got to put Minnesota away quickly.
And it's interesting, I mean, even on this show, I mean, I give the Celtics a certain level of respect, and I give OKC respect, and I give Denver respect, and everybody gives LeBron respect. Here are the T-Wolves. in back-to-back Western Conference finals with, there's an argument, outside of Oklahoma City, it's the deepest roster in the NBA.
I mean, they got young kids that weren't even in the rotation now that are flourishing. Number one, fourth quarter team. Number two in the regular season. That was the difference last night. Ant with 11 points, although he did not think he played great down the stretch.
I'm disappointed in myself. How can you be disappointed? We didn't even expect to see you out here tonight. How important was it for you to be available for your guys in game one? For me, man, 75% of the game for me is my mind. My mind got to be where it needs to be. And in the last two minutes of the game, it wasn't. I gave up two offensive rebounds, turned the ball over.
Well, all I know is this. You got guys like Julius Randle, who's been bouncing around the league, and he's the perfect Timberwolf because he's overlooked. And it could be Nas Reed, and it could be Jaden McDaniels. It can be Ant. Rudy Gobert's been getting crap for years. It could be Mike Conley. There's just so much experience and talent with Minnesota. And if these games are close...
Fourth quarter is the T-Wolves between coaching and experience. Okay, so I said this about the Eastern Conference. I mean, through various times this year, I mean, last year, out of the blue, the Pacers fly through it. And this year, you're like, Detroit's a number one seed? They've got one score. I can't really figure out the East. So I watched the Knicks over their last four games.
They've won by 39, 51, 29, and 16. Are they great? I don't really think so. Are they good? Absolutely. Are they very good? I don't know. Now, the Sixers last night off an emotional game seven against Boston were completely flat. I mean, Jalen Brunson. Kind of did whatever he wanted to do. Scored 35 points, 12 for 18. He just did whatever he wanted to do.
I kind of felt like Nick Nurse was just, he knew his team was fatigued. He knew his team was going to be flat. So he didn't give away a lot of secrets. He just kind of let it play out. But I will give the New York Knicks credit for this. So they fired Tibbs because they thought they just weren't good enough offensively. And you've got to give Mike Brown credit.
They're shooting 60% in their last three games. Mike Brown's not a rigid guy. He is willing to experiment. And what they've done... But with Cat, Cat now is like a point center. He has doubled his assists, his distribution numbers from regular season to postseason. And a lot of that's just good coaching. But it's difficult. Remember in the Super Bowl, was New England really a good team?
