I'm a little mystified by the "Ant needed to be more aggressive" discourse out of Game 4, considering: 1) The Wolves had one of their best offensive games of the season and absolutely scorched an all-time Thunder defense 2) Ant was making plays like this all night:

Asked Mike Conley and Rudy Gobert about how Anthony Edwards played offensively in Game 4, given the way OKC was guarding him. Conley: "I thought Ant played well. I honestly did... Obviously, we want him to try to get 30 or 40. Lead us that way. But if the game dictates something

I had it wrong. The all-time record in the 110 hurdles in Minnesota prep history is 13.66, not 13.70. Century senior Josh Kyei-Baffour is closing in on it with his 13.75 personal best. It was set in 2015 by St. Croix Lutheran's Jon Tollefson.

This is a tough way for the Wolves to go out this season. But it's been anything but a flop, having made it for the second straight year to WCF. Next year I look forward to seeing much more of Rob Dillingham and Terrence Shannon Jr. They could make a large difference.

Pat Ruff But even if Ant is the guy, who on this roster do we see as having the skills and killer instinct to be key players on a championship team? OKC will be better next year. Will we? If Randle, Reed and Gobert are still here?

I like Jaden McDaniels a lot. And I mostly like Julius Randle a lot. I also see big things for Terrence Shannon Jr. and Rob Dillingham once they are allowed to play. Naz has struggled badly this series, but I still have a high regard and hopes for him. OKC can make you look bad.

I do not see the Wolves passing up OKC. But we'll see what the young guys on the Wolves roster can produce next season.

I missed the entire Wolves game tonight. Maybe I'd be speaking differently if I'd watched. Sounds like a season low.

And I won't be the least bit surprised if the Wolves make a run at Kevin Durant this offseason. I actually expect it. Not sure how much they'd have to give up. But he is 36 years old and injury prone. . .Those are both reasons not to do it.

I disagree on if Curry had been healthy. I think the Wolves still win that series. I think more than anything what happend in the WCF series speaks to how good OKC really is. They have the best record in the NBA for a reason. I'll be very surprised if they don't win it all.

Whenever a politician claims that God is on their side, all they are doing is reducing God to a mere tool of manipulation in order to get people on their side. It is blasphemy. It is using God’s name in vain. Christians should be the loudest ones opposing such behavior.

Century senior Josh Kyei-Baffour set the all-time Minnesota record today in the 110 hurdles, timed in a blazing 13.58 at the Section 1-3A meet at Lakeville South. The record had been 13.66. Amazing season for Kyei-Baffour.
