The Denver Nuggets pretty, little postseason picnic is being spoiled by one ant. The “Ant Man” Anthony Edwards.

Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves have yet to lose a playoff game so far this season. 6-0 and showing no signs of letting up.

The T-Wolves swept the Phoenix Suns in Round 1
and Edwards barely broke a sweat in two of the games with 15 and 13 points; so far vs. Denver he has hung 43 and 27 points on the bewildered Nuggets.

Along with teammate Karl-Anthony Towns, “The Big KAT,”the Wolves have served strong notice they are legit.

Things change, playoff fortunes can easily be dashed in a moment, yet
it’s not just how Minnesota is winning, but their collective drive and focus. Fade them at your own peril.

The Bruins and Panthers are 1-1 in their Eastern Conference playoff series… the B’s look beaten and expect a quick dismissal as in 4 games to 1. Florida is just simply better, tougher and poised to set up a potentially incredible matchup with the NY Rangers when the Broadway Blueshirts finish off the Carolina Hurricanes.

Caitlin Clark’s home state of Iowa will be treated to amazing television coverage this season. Affiliates in Iowa are grabbing an Indiana-based feed, essentially ensuring Iowans won’t miss an Indiana Fever game this year. Smart move and very profitable no doubt.

We’ll be in Connecticut next Tuesday, May 14th, as the Fever meet the Connecticut Sun in Clark’s WNBA debut.

Garden Party Redux. Celtics comfortably.
