    Is it too late for voters to take away votes from Gobert?

    I actually was Luke warm to Conley at the time. I values his steadiness on the court, that he’s always under control, isn’t flashy, but gets the job done. When he was with Memphis all those years, he reminded me a bit of Fish, but with better finishing ability.

    I f***ing love this lol. Not just that Denver is getting their a** handed to them, but how its happening. That the league decided to allow more physicality after the All-Star break and the Wolves are challenging these guys physically and the Nuggets are backing down. This is the kind of physical, pick-up style basketball that I love. I've never understood why the league thought fans wanted to see physicality legislated out of the game in favor of skill. Basketball is about using the combination of skill and physicality to impose your will on an opponent. Who gives a f*** if you can make pretty step-back threes if you can't handle a grown man getting in your face. I really hope this is the new normal.

    If this will be the new normal, Trae Young is definitely not what we need lol.

    Trae is fine with physical play.

    170lbs of muscle right there.


    But seriously, since the Lakers rumors started, he started hitting the gym even more and spoke to some of Bron's people in Florida. He currently looks like this:

    Didn't he drive the ball around Lonzo at the end of a game and Julius bumped him at the scorers table ?

    Wolves are only be able to play that physical because they build that reputation/are the best defensive team in the league though .

    Pacers are a bad defensive team and got whistled for some weak fouls in the other game .

    Makes you realize how hard back to back championships are much less a three peat. Also hard to believe it’s been that long since Golden State won.

    something i'm noticing in the playoffs: three athletic young wings that more than one team wrote off are playing important roles for their teams:

    derrick jones
    nickiel alexander walker
    aaron nesmith

    we need to be scouring the market for the next one. two of those guys were first round picks (jones was undrafted) who, for whatever reason, took a while to find their way.

    memphis has a team option on ziaire williams for 6 million. will they pick it up? they're under the tax if they don't. though i suppose they can just cut kennard loose.

    james bouknight got cut by charlotte. is he a worthwhile reclamation project?

    He should be suspended for that: imagine if either a Denver or WOlves player had tripped and gotten hurt from that.
    You know if AD was on the court that would have definitely happened to him (I kid: love AD)
