Are the Wolves REAL or FAKE? | JA Morant TROLLING Adam Silver? | Bucks & Pistons Battle for 5th Seed

Anthony Edwards went full Ant-Man Unleashed , dropping 44 and leading the Wolves to a jaw-dropping 52-point third quarter against Memphis—but can Minnesota be trusted come playoff time? Meanwhile, Ja Morant has swapped out his fined “gun” celebration for a pantomimed grenade toss . Is it just playful trolling, or is Ja baiting the league into another response? Plus, the Bucks and Pistons are locked in a two-game series with major stakes: the winner gets the Knicks in round one. Who's better equipped for that fight—Giannis and a reshuffled Milwaukee squad or Cade Cunningham’s surging Pistons? We break down the matchup and debate whether the Knicks should be worried about a first-round upset. Also on the show: Tom Thibodeau’s heavy minute rotations come under the microscope again, but is the “Tibbs runs players into the ground” narrative outdated? New analysis from Claire De Lune for The Guardian challenges the old assumptions.
