Denver SHOULD be trying to win this one, right?

Houston played their last game, but if Portland wins tonight they'll tie Denver if Nuggs lose today..i'm not sure who owns the tie breaker for that but that should make Denver want to win tonight.

I'm only wondering because we are pretty much in the #10 slot for the draft, a win would tie us with the Lakers

Houston has the tie-breaker over Denver, Portland has the tie-breaker of Houston, and Denver has the tie-breaker over Portland. I think that means Denver would get the tie-breaker with the best Conference/Division record, but I'm not positive. If Portland loses and Denver loses, Houston jumps to #2.

4 of us? That's a peak for the week during games.

Enough of 9:30 games anyway. When can we move more easterly?

Our 2k League team defends like our actual team. Time to switch over and watch what I'm sure is another beat down

Tolliver probably sees this season as huge failure for him. Another free agent who likely regrets coming here.

If Ryan can use KAT like Malone uses Jokic, that's a BIG W.

KAT is obviously not the same passer Jokic is, but KAT is a GREAT passer for a C that doesn't get to show it off & KAT's ballhandling is something he doesn't get to show off as well.

KAT won a skill comp his rookie year, we know he has the skills to at least push the ball off rebounds instead of looking for the PG, we'll see what Ryan does next year, but I hope it involves a lot of KAT/Wiggs two man game

KAT and Wigs should watch some tape of the LaVine/Gorgui two man game, those two had seriously underated chemistry together

Goat Reynolds. Greatest shooter in Timberwolves history.

Excited for him next year if he can progress as a backup 3&D guy..He fits that role from what we've seen so far.

Wiggins is gonna end his season on a bang. Last game is what you remember the most right guys with all the recency bias?

But for real, Wiggins hasn't looked like complete ass over the past few weeks, not quite an all-star, but certainly very quality starter.

Started the season with a sore quad, then came back looking weird, then was just so inconsistent all year.

It is such a mystery why he NEVER dunks, but I pray this is the worst Wiggins we will see in his career

It's bizarre how some games he has super tight handles and gets anywhere he wants on the court and other 75 games a year he dribbles like a someone on the JV squad in high school

Not sure, which is why Wiggs is so frustrating..he has all the physical tools in the world and a lot of skills, but his mental game is :noway:

He's a nice car with a bad engine

Wiggs had been excellent passing out of the double tonight. He may not have always gotten the assist, but he's had 3 or 4 nice hockey assists from passing out when the nuggets double him.
