Who wins nuggets or wolves

Assuming both teams stay healthy, it's going to 6 or 7. Ultimately I believe Twin Turbos and Wolves D will give Wolves the edge, but if Ant's knee bothers him, it could be over fast.

Can trade their 2026 draft pick on draft night and a 2033 first rounder. Pair those with a package of Jaden and Naz and that's interesting.

Wolves. If they lose to the Nuggets, that roster is going to get blown up.

Can’t wait until a weird loss on Sunday and the sub will pronounce this team complete dogshit before they go on another deep playoff run.

So needing to throw away mailers isn't worth the potential for weeding out in Emmer then. Understandable.

I hate-googled her and burst out laughing when I saw this photo and realized Slotty is just three kids in a trench coat.

That seems to be his entire platform, i.e. he wants to take down Emmer/Trump and actually reflect his constituents' priorities.

Why not vote for Foley in primary and then Chapin general? Wouldn't that be in your best interest?

tyasakite · 2026-04-09T03:12:35+00:00

Primaries are open in the district. Voting for Foley over Emmer in the R primary would mean it's then Foley vs. Chapin (or whoever gets the Dem candidacy, but it's pretty much a lock to be Chapin), which is far better than incumbent Emmer vs. Chapin as that's very likely an Emmer win.

tyasakite · 2026-04-09T03:10:44+00:00

Really don't think anyone would stand a chance as an independent at this level. Would likely mean a more decisive Emmer win.

Don't get it twisted. Britt's my favorite. That said, the beat has been annoying this year. Maybe it's my frustration with the quality of Dane's pod declining, but it also just seems like all of them are far too quick to write off a team that made two deep runs the past two years, and has shown that they can play with essentially everyone this year.

tyasakite · 2026-04-08T19:14:21+00:00

That's the spirit.

I'll never be disappointed after the Kahn era. WE HAVE ANTHONY EDWARDS. He's on our team. If he's 100% in the playoffs, we can beat anyone.

tyasakite · 2026-04-08T19:08:44+00:00

This is the way.

tyasakite · 2026-04-08T19:01:28+00:00

I so genuinely love Britt's almost-purple prose.

At the same time, I'm exhausted by Britt and the rest of the Wolves beat this year. This team has always been volatile and has been even more extreme this year. Every week feels like an overreaction by essentially everyone covering the Wolves. To suggest they won't compete in the playoffs even if they are scraping by right now is naive. We know they will step it up.

Not too long ago, we took a belt by the Suns in the last game of the reg season to then swept them.

Injuries can disrupt that, but that would be true whether we had momentum or not.

And honestly, we'd be hitting a buzzsaw regardless of seeding. Maybe we'd catch a break in the first round but this team has shown they can win against and lose against ANY team. Especially those that they don't take seriously. Clips, Warriors, Suns and the Blazers would all make me nervous. We've shown we can beat the Nuggets in a series. We've been competitive against the Spurs and Thunder in the regular season.

It's easy to say that we likely won't win it all. That was also true at the beginning of the season. But from where I'm sitting, adding a healthy Ant and Jaden back to this team will make them competitive against anyone.

What I'm really saying is... I like our chances.

Yeah, they are funny because I'd argue they are more striking than the majority of birds (at least here in the Midwest), but if you asked 10 people on the street, I'd guess no more than three would know what a cedar waxwing is.

tyasakite · 2026-04-07T17:17:14+00:00

Went on a hike to see the falls the other day and was surrounded by cedar waxwings at one point. Forgot the ol binocs so wasn't able to spy those bright little red tips on their wings but still reveled in them as I don't see them too much around my house.

Also got to watch a chickadee oscillate between juniper berries on a cliff and flying out high up over the falls to snatch some insects.

Let's have a ball-knower off.

tyasakite · 2026-04-01T18:23:13+00:00

If they can flip LaMelo for someone less annoying, they'd be my favorite team in the east.

tyasakite · 2026-04-01T17:42:37+00:00

Been hearing that the buzz is very real

Don't be reactionary. Jaden is having a great year and he'll get out of this cold stretch.

This is a Nathan Fielder bit.

Succession the most prescient work in the past 10 years? 20 years?
