Guess what?

My biography of Anthony Edwards, titled “Ant,” is now available for pre-order on Amazon.

Pre-orders really help us make this successful, so your support means the world! I’m so glad my publisher Harper Collins and I are getting this out to you soon: t.co/d9bWAeUtL8

Really cool and powerful for @christopherhine.bsky.social to discuss his mental health journey on Dane's pod today.

Thanks for sharing Chris!

Chris Hine @christopherhine.bsky.social · 1d

Dane and I are doing a postgame pod tonight in his studio and we thought this was gonna be an early night. We thought WRONG!

Jaylen Clark out the rest of the night because of neck spasms, the Wolves announce.

Delon Wright was helped off the floor after a collision with Jaylen Clark. Thankfully that wasn't worse. Clark stays in but looked like he was feeling some effects of it.

Fast-break points: 18-2 Indiana.

Dillingham but Clark will still play

First couple minutes driving home what was evident last season in their two games (both Indiana wins). The Pacers are a terrible matchup for the Wolves.

Chris Hine @christopherhine.bsky.social · 1d

Pacers did not come to walk through the motions tonight. Throwing the full court pressure out there.

Thank you for checking out the book. I don’t know the jokers by name but I kind of like the one that increases with the cards you sell, or the lucky cat is good too!

Chris Hine @christopherhine.bsky.social · 2d

We haven’t asked them, likely not something that’s in their purview

Chris Hine @christopherhine.bsky.social · 2d

Save this for the next mailbag! It’s a good one

Chris Hine @christopherhine.bsky.social · 2d

Haha, no idea what it looks like in practice, but I'd be surprised if it became a thing. I see him practicing corner threes from time to time in shootarounds, doesn't mean he's going to pull them out in a game.

Chris Hine @christopherhine.bsky.social · 2d

If you had buyout money, wouldn't you just chill for a while and then wait for the next job to open up? Wolves weren't the only team he visited.

A little column/insidery thing I wrote about the calmness of Timberwolves training camp, how that compares to previous seasons and what that may mean for the regular season: www.startribune.com/minnesota-ti...

Timberwolves Insider: There’s no training camp drama, and the buzzword is ‘continuity’

Building off another run to the NBA Western Conference finals, the Wolves are using camp to fine-tune what worked last season.

My brain wants to sing the chorus to Sheena Easton’s “Morning Train” when I hear the chorus to T-Swift’s “Opalite.”
