Nice win against a severely inferior team. I had trouble / stopped watching the game as it was clear that Portland had no chance of competing.

Good to hear that Nowell injury doesn't seem serious.

I haven't even been watching. Can't remember the last time I was so confident the Wolves would win I didn't even tune in

Right now Portland might be the worst team in the NBA.

Especially without Dame, Simons, Nurk, and Little. Not to mention a bunch of other rotation worthy role players.

Great timing! At least you had a couple of years with KG.

I was at the first Wolves game ever played and have hung in there ever since. Every draft. Year in, year out. I've seen more bad basketball than any human has a right to see. My family suggests I need to get my head examined. :) They might be right.

But now, we have Finch, Ant and Kat. Happier days are here.

Thanks shrink. I liked Layman when we first got him but have been disappointed with his play since. It's a difficult task to come in and impress when you have so few chances to shine. Somehow you still have to do it.


Something happened to Jake in the 20-21 offseason. He and Juancho were not the same players from the prior year. I had hoped Layman might find himself again during this past offseason, but alas it was not to be. I am a Layman fan despite his struggles, but I am glad we will be moving on from him. I really hope he finds his mojo again with another team. Preferably a rebuilding team who might find minutes for him.


Yep. Same here. His shooting has betrayed him most of all. It's too bad because he seems a great guy and his team-mates obviously like him.

Can you be betrayed by something you've never had?

That's why I said right now. With those four playing they aren't the worst team.
