I want know how many weeks he needs to recovery...

Ironically: if we pass the first round 4-3 do you think he can come back for the second round?

Spend like 5 firsts for a guy punching other teammates.
Key player punching walls out for the playoffs.

This franchise is really a joke.

I am disappointed in Gobert and MCD immature behavior

I am happy for Towns

I am proud of Edwards (although he had a few stupid turnovers)

I love NAW and Moore effort

Game 82! The Big One 

Post#165 » by D1SGRUNTL3D » Mon Apr 10, 2023 9:37 am

Can literally anything ever go right? Like how are we above .500 against winning record teams but absolutely pitiful against losing record teams? I made this realgm account 18 years ago as some nerdy 21 yr old because I was sick of this teams ****. Hence the spelling with numbers, wtf?

This game is meaningless, jaden is active and we’re comfortably in the 4/5/6 spot if we’re even average against bad or tanking teams. I’m more confident we’d beat Memphis than Detroit in a 7 game series

This band of idiots deserve the play in BS and they have nobody else to blame by themselves

I feel like it's probably better for Gobert to sit out when he is not fully fit...he was really poor yesterday even until the blow-up and looks like it was likely due to back spasms. When Gobert is not even able to play comfortably on defense, he is mostly a negative on court...no point in playing him in such situations

I relate so much to what you said. My tenure here is like 2-3 years shorter than yours. So many times I feel the same but I realize these guys have nothing to do with Joe Smith, Ndudi Ebi, Derrick Williams, Kahn, Wiggins, etc. Only the owner has stayed the same but other than him, we hired some of the best coaches, GM's, traded for all-stars, built facilities, etc. What is the problem? Does bad luck exist? Curses exist? Can a list of random negative events really last for so long? Did it start with missing out on drafting Shaq?

No idea, but I'm still optimistic, mainly because of this kid who is like nothing I've seen before. Not since Jordan.

Do you start Garza?

Or, do you Move Kat to center and play KA, Prince, Ant and Conley?

Garza isn't eligible, is he?

Or does the Play-In have different rules than the Playoffs?

Either way, I don't want Garza guarding AD or LeBron.
