By DY_nasty Go To Postsmh @ phoenix fansAre you talking about Giri and I? I took a nap, watching that game was like being poisoned. Not impressed with Goodwin or Len showing out against Utah's D-leaguers either. Once Booker and Chriss were done for the night I turned it off.
can't even get hype
By Dark PhaZe Go To PostExum got rektYeah, this didn't happen.
By diehard Go To PostYeah, this didn't happen.
my bad
it was marcus paige
light skinned brothers i tell ya
wiz making a playoff return is completely dependent on coaching to win vs soothing egos
team has the talent to get there, but if people get starting spots purely to sooth egos, and if new scrubs get significant minutes when you know they are trash (Burke, Smith) just so Ernie doesn't look like an idiot, then the team will suffer

Smith is perfectly fine for 10-15mpg as a stretch 5. Anything more than that is when you get in trouble with him. He is unable to contribute positively if he isn't going 110% the whole time he is on the court.
By Dark PhaZe Go To Postzero chance he gets any minutes at C without injuryThen it was a bad signing. Sorry, bro.
He doesn't quite have the lateral quickness to play against perimeter oriented 4s. If he can man the center position, he is good for some great blocks at the rim, though.
Through three pre-season games, I've mostly gotten what I expected out of the Wolves. That starting unit is still good and surprisingly, Thibs really lets them push the pace. They can really get out in a hurry on a fast break. They also shoot a lot more 3s, so it's nice to see that he learned from his yearlong sabbatical.
The bench hinges on Bjelica and Bazz getting buckets, though. It looks bad a lot of the time, but at least they play some defense. Shouts to Cole Aldrich and Brandon Rush for being real live professionals.

By KingGondo Go To PostI would *not* want to be on Russ's bad side.Westbrook MVP campaign gonna be lit af
By Dude Guy Go To PostWestbrook MVP campaign gonna be lit afWe need to win 50 games and get a top 4 seed for Russ to sniff MVP.
Don't think we can do that without a trade tbh. And any substantial trade would hinder our future flexibility, especially with regard to next summer when we'll be in play for free agents.
Media is just doing media things. Ask KD about what it's like with the Warriors thus far, then run straight to Russ to get a reaction. KD isn't gonna say anything negative about his new team, so anything positive he says will be completely misconstrued. Shit's just there for airplay.

Who do you guys have 4-8 in the West this season?
By reilo Go To Postshun made a predictions thread http://slaent.com/thread/879052/D'oh, I posted in there too lmao
By Moris Go To PostThat OKC GSW matchup gonna be insaneIf OKC isn't down 30 after the first quarter...
By P.SY! Go To PostIf OKC isn't down 30 after the first quarter…All that matters is how much will they be down when the game is over.
By The Frankman Go To PostAll that matters is how much will they be down when the game is over.or if they ccan force steph + klay + KD to play more than 30mpg. Combined.
By KingGondo Go To PostI would *not* want to be on Russ's bad side.#mambamentality
By Moris Go To PostHe traveled six times before he ever double dribbled lmao.
Bender's only 18. And there are plays where he looks so far ahead of where he should be.
But he's far from finished. Is he going to be another AK47 all around guy. Or more of a KP playing the 4.
He's gotta figure out who he is and what his game is. He doesn't seem to know yet.

Will always remember the Mark Blount double dribble that never got called and JVG losing his mind over it, used to be on youtube but can't find it anywhere now
By blackace Go To PostOr a travel six times then double dribble guySo, Lebron?
By giririsss Go To PostSo, Lebron?LBJ would at least would look like he understood the basic concepts of basketball while doing it...
By blackace Go To PostLBJ would at least would look like he understood the basic concepts of basketball while doing it…I think you're confused. Lebron would cuss out everyone else on his team and then hold a press conference slandering the ref's post game.
He would never do anything like what you said.
Guard must be crazy hard to find...because even after the tank so hard era...we still have THE WORST guards in the league
By knux-future Go To PostGuard must be crazy hard to find…because even after the tank so hard era…we still have THE WORST guards in the leagueI mean, Zach LaVine will probably end up being the best SG in Wolves history if he can somehow beat out JR Rider for that spot (with an honorable mention to Rashad McCants...). The Draft is hard, okay.
By blackace Go To PostThose are SEXY… wonder if they could make a baby blue verison tooI hate the baby blue. The team should get rid of it.

Beautiful
I would rock this as a hoodie.... Kind of remids me of LRG gear from a few years ago
By knux-future Go To PostGuard must be crazy hard to find…because even after the tank so hard era…we still have THE WORST guards in the league
I mean MCW has issues and isn't that good.... but you guys got rid of him way too early, especially considering you are a youth movement.

The NBA and its players have agreed that the next CBA will include new league-funded programs to help retired players with education and medical expenses, four people with knowledge of the situation told the AP. The people spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because talks are ongoing.
In exchange for those programs, and pending full approval from both sides, the split of basketball-related income would remain the same "50-50" deal as it is in the current agreement.
The new agreement is expected to include several other new elements as well, said the people with knowledge of the discussions.Guarantee Glen Taylor is pushing for that second max deal so he can pay Towns and Wiggins.
They said owners are pushing to give their teams more options to keep homegrown players in their organizations, a topic that came to the forefront after Kevin Durant left the Oklahoma City Thunder to form a new super team in Golden State. One of the proposals, the people said, includes the possibility of adding a second five-year maximum contract. Currently, teams can only offer one five-year max contract, which can make it more difficult for teams to keep multiple stars happy.
