RoCo has shot worse than ever after being here. I wonder if he's falling off a cliff for good already.

I don’t think he ever physically recovered from his injury

So are you saying the 2020 draft class >>>2021


We cannot know yet how their futures playout. But it certainly isn't only about comparing the hyped top 3 of each class.

Derrick Rose has a nice opening game with Thibs' Knicks. Played two-PG rotations off bench with rookie sensation Quixley.

Wish he still played here. Still Ballin out each game like always.

Thin he would be good in our system. He can attack and hit the three. A better fit than Rubio.

The wolves miracle tonic may have fixed the Mavs. They seem to be playing much better after they were struggling for a long time. Grizzlies are smashing the Lakers to start the first quarter. I love the energy and physicality of Memphis, just badasses.

I'm going to go try and catch some of that game. I could stand for some badass play right about now.

Yes I think Rose would fit Rosas/Ryan game more. Like Jmac does. sort of similar play

Anthony Davis will be out vs the wolves tomorrow night. If we beat Lebron, then I will say the Wolves are making real progress.

Julius Randle is just nuts this season. Watching this main drain clutch threes and mid range shots. Noel also great tonight playing like a big. Knicks are impressive so far, way better than anticipated and of course, somehow Thibs figured out how to bring his defense to NY with a guy like Randle when he couldn't figure it out here.

If only the Knicks had taken Haliburton, instead of a dude that plays the same position as Randle. Quickley looks like a nice late pick.

Man what has happened to Miami this season, they seem pretty mediocre after they were ridiculously good last season.

They were like 5th in the east last season, they were bubble wonders but their roster got worse this season. Should have sold high on robinson and herro IMO.

Gritty win for the Warriors. Again.

Down 14 midway through the 4th... without Green, Wiseman and Looney. Wiggins and Paschell were the team's "bigs" with Wiggins the guy for jump balls.

That lineup started OT with 5 offensive rebounds vs. Miami's 2 defensive rebounds. Game over.

Second time this year. No other team has won 8 in a row.

Just tuned into the Hornets Warriors game. Their commentators are so overcome with joy. They are crazy hyped. Then I see them down, they are executing like crazy against GSW, then get a clutch steal. Rozier hits a crazy buzzer-beater and wins. All the players are celebrating like crazy, commentators are super happy and full of joy. They got a team, they got a great rookie, everything is gold. The wolves can never have that and it's freaking sad.
