Best of luck to Jack, a tireless worker, talented writer and keen observer of the Wolves. Been a joy getting to know him on the beat.

They do it every game. Edwards likes to play the entire 1st and 3rd qtrs. Gotta rest sometime. In the playoffs, that rest will be much shorter.

Wolves beat Denver by 21 and 13 (w/o Murray). Lost to them by 3 (w/o KAT, Rudy and Naz) and by 9 (w/o KAT). KAT's return is imminent.

If they meet in the playoffs, this will be an absolute battle.

The concern if this is a series in the playoffs for the Wolves will always be 4th quarter execution. Jokic controls everything, makes sure his team gets a good shot every time down.

The Wolves are more erratic. When it's flowing, great. But when it doesn't, yikes.

Wolves had some slippage at the end of the third, and you just can't afford to have any against Jokic. He'll just eat. Big stretch coming at the start of the 4th.

Ultra-aggressive Naz Reid. He's already taken 10 shots in 12+ minutes. Only made 3 of em, but he recognizes his role with Ant resting.
