Ugh. Wish we had something better than this.

That sounds bad.

Suppose an opponent has a one man-break away, and you intentionally foul a player behind, on your own side of the court. Does the breakaway still get to score? Is clear path only if you foul the guy with the ball?

Must have clear possession, no defender between ball handler and the basket, and must be ahead of defender who commits the foul. The Jaden foul was loose ball and honestly I don’t know why it’s a foul at all. They ran into each other. Unfortunate, but not anyone’s fault.

I agree with you. Same with the Naz foul. If both players take equal damage, play on.

But suppose that pass was straight to the guy in front, and Jaden intentionally fouled Reaves, behind the play. Is that still clear path?

I believe you foul anybody under those circumstances it is clear path. I could be wrong.

Just watched presser from dlo... no professionalism or humility. Almost goofy how he handled himself.

Give Mike Conley an extension

You sure seem to know everything. Question: what is the meaning of life?

Yes. If the guy with the ball is ahead of everyone else it is a clear path. Could also be an away from the ball foul under 2:00 minutes. In this case I think the ball was loose so no special consequences.

Did people see both Kyle and Rudy in the closing lineup? The rumors that they absolutely cannot play together are overblown.

I love that the entire social media world now waits with anticipation for what Timberwolves Brasil will post after a win lol

I’m not liking any on court recruiting! Hopefully the media doesn’t run with this.

Ant is under contract for 5 years. Ham is gonna be gone in 2. Lakers might well miss the playoffs and that is hard to explain in Lebron’s final years.

I think any filters that person uses now would be non-existent.

Jaden I think has the capability of becoming the 3rd option we need...he has shown flashes, just need to get more consistent. Sometimes there are phases where he doesn't get consistent touches. He has expanded his game lot more offensively when compared to first 2 seasons..his off-the dribble creation is also improving. Very exciting

Trading DLO was addition by subtraction. Giving him away would have been a good deal.

I guess we'll have to suffer with Mike Conley and NAW! Someone up there is looking down kindly at us.

Dlo is a legend in his own mind.
