    yeah, and of those two stars, at least one is likely to be picked outside the top 3.

    i like the wins with the young guys playing; i don't care if it's the end of the year. minny was trying to win this game, for sure.

    What were Towns's panties in a bunch about at the end?

    I think they reviewed it to see if he got the shot off on time and he didn't think DLO did.

    I think he wanted to give D'lo crap for making the shot, but Russ already ran off to his family for his situation.

    When I was watching the game I nearly spit out my drink when stu said this after Metta came out and then a few minutes later came back in to finish the game. So funny haha



    I know he meant rest, but 'Tank' was great.... Well done Stu

    Putting up those big numbers and still losing, nothing to show for it.

    He's close friends with Russell so nice to see Russell get him back and of course hitting the shot for his grandma

    I've been on team tank. But man, last night was a really good W. I'm confused because I want our team with the best assets we can get, but man we have a chance to win out...

    Its a pretty weak draft, I could care less if they win a few games to end the season

    Just because there's not a Towns in this draft, doesn't make it weak. There's plenty of NBA players in this draft.

    I don't want the pick to take a player, I want it as a trade asset. If we get the pick it's a great asset, it hopefully allows us to trade for PG with only giving up 1 main core player and not having to wait and hope he comes here in free agency. I'm not for tanking to get the pick though, you play it out the right way and you hope the ball bounces our way.

    For those who say they could careless bout keeping the pick realize keeping the pick means we also keep 2019 pick? Alot can happen by then but thats 1 more asset you can trade if you dont like draft picks

    So we split with them and we were nowhere near the strength we're going to be going into the start of next season for a lot more reasons than MN has to look forward to. Kind of confirmed my impressions of Thibs with the comments in Cookie's great Doom picks last night. He is what he seems to be .... a fat screamer of a coach that just cannot be enjoyable to play for. Compared to the Lakers' coach. Part of the 4 headed all charisma team in my signature running things now. Kobe on the undisclosed but important fringe of things consulting and one on one working with guys. See rumors with BI for this summer. Wow if he really wants Kobe's back to the basket game.

    Only reason why I want the pick as well, for the asset. Not so we can have to develop yet another player and wait 2-4 years before they turn into something if they even at all.

    I think Josh Jackson will make a fine trade chip for Indiana to consider.

    Obviously getting the pick would be great (still can happen), but I think getting these wins late is just as important for these young guys.

    Some did. For what it's worth I stand by some of my early physical criticisms. He hasn't developed his legs the way he needs to. The difference now is that he's not as reckless as he was in college (one legged landings in traffic).

    He's one of the few to translate his shooting this early though.
