I hope Ricky will go for another 30 point game. Or maybe even increase his career high. 7 points to tie it.

I didn't think he would be good, but most of the time he looks like he has never played basketball.

It's the baldness, its screwing the entire team over stealthily.

Some teams have players with tats, twolves have players with receding hairlines.

Utah gets an old guy, he still drops 20 point games here and there is reliable. Wolves get an old guy, he can barely tie his own sneakers .

Dieng doesnt know how. Much like kat, they try to outjump people for rebounds.

Time to bring oakley in as an assistant.


It's weird that for all this talk about teaching fundamentals going back to last season, there's very little to show for when it comes to boxing out, setting proper screens and defending the pick & roll. Either the talk has been hot air or the young players are very slow to learn. And I mean really slow.


Coaching, coaching coaching!!

Rush is like a black ops military sniper without fingers.

The usual story: Kat, Rubio, and Wiggins.

Throw whatever money we can offer at Hayward this offseason. Dude's a freaking baller.

We really don't have any stars yet. What Hayward is doing, that's a star. No one on our team is at that level yet. Towns is the closest.

Bazz gets goaltended, no call.

Casspi gets pushed away when he's being passed the ball, no call.

Back to back career highs for players in these last two games.

I really hope next season we come back with a retooled team and stomp the teams that owned us in games.

I'm surprised there was basically no outrage when it happened. Bazz had something to say to the refs but that was on the ensuing dead ball situation rather than right after the no call. It was clear as day when it happened.

Wiggins needs to go. He really isnt very good. He's an athlete that plays basketball, he's not a basketball player.
