Are we going to hear Suns fire Mike Budenholzer tomorrow? Why is Billups still have a job? Fire Booth makes sense to me, they couldn't build a good bench. Malone's main issue this year is playing Westbrook for too long. Westbrook is great in short bursts but will eventually make dumb mistakes, which leads to MIN 2OT win, which leads to SAS loss, and so on...

Now this has me thinking....I wonder if the Nuggets would have interest in Billups :lol:

That would be a great move… if the goal is to get Joker to LA.

Jaylen Well broke his wrist tonight. One of the scariest falls I have ever seen.

It's been one of the most interesting NBA season fill will drama like golden era WWE. All I can say about the Wolves so far is there is someone worse than us.

More disappointing - PHX Suns not making the play-in. No fight, just lay down and die, with higher payroll and no picks.

More Stupid Trade - Dallas - Luka vs Towns

More Outrageous - fire Malone vs Wolves blow 24 pt 4th qtr lead

Worse choke job - Westbrook vs Ant's many last second misses (sorry, MIN vs Bucks game could only win one award, Otherwise could be like Titanic winning 11 Oscars)

About the only thing that could bring more drama besides a Gobert knock out of Draymond in the play-in is if we missed the playoffs, win the lottery, and hand it to Jazz.

Budenholzer is fired in Phoenix! Just one year in he gets the ax. Phoenix is a mess. It just goes to show what the Wolves fans have known for years that a bad front office and ownership will kill you every time.

"If Mike Budenholzer decides to not pursue any coaching opportunities, he will be paid $10 million a year from the Suns until 2029.

$40 million still remain on Budenholzer’s contract."
--------------------------------------------

What does he do? I'd hang it up and get a front office non coaching job if it's permitted to keep the 40 million.

Devin Booker about to have his 8th different head coach going into his 11th season. By comparison, Towns had just four different coaches in Minnesota.

The Phoenix Suns are expected to offer Devin Booker a two-year $149.8 extension this offseason, ESPN NBA insider Brian Windhorst reports. Booker, 28, has spent the entirety of his ten-year career in the Valley and just finished up the first year of the four-year, $220.4 million extension he signed back in 2022.

Houston is going to get upset by GSW or MEM.

The game started 11-2 Memphis. The quarter ended 25-31 Golden State. That includes a 7-0 run to end the quarter. Before that it was 18-31 or a 29-7 run.

I really thought Memphis cared more about their season. They are showing zero effort on defense. Worse they are turning it over at an unsustainable clip and missing easy ones.

TimberKat · Post #1095 » by **TimberKat** » Wed Apr 16, 2025 3:57 am

It's 81 to 82 and Ja maybe out. Just one player getting hurt is going to turn the game upside down

Holy curry, Bane is on fire.

Wow. Golden State playing great tonight. 1/2 this on Sunday they aren’t in play in.

Another small ball myth example. MEM had Edey and JJJ on the court most of the time, I don't see them get cooked by small lineup. Gobert also moves way better than Edey. If MEM could pass the ball to Edey 10 times, there is no reason we cannot.
