Kevin Durant has already been traded to Minnesota, he's just wearing a Jaden McDaniels mask.

Just started watching. Looks like I missed a couple Gobert jump shots too.

Running the same lineup that did nothing for us the first half of the season. I don’t get it.
Works against a disinterested SA team, but not going to do anything in the postseason.

I do worry if Naz keeps coming off the bench and getting minutes that he's going to leave

Conley is getting more consistent and 3s are going in. Good sign.

Naz takes some unnecessarily tough 3 pt shots..not a fan of taking contested 3 pt shots early in shot clock

Naz hasn't been efficient since start of Feb. 6th man role is perfect for him

Feel like so far tonight whenever a Wolves player tries to pass to someone in paint, it's an automatic turnover

We are giving up way too many Drive Bys and interior shoots

One thing I really appreciate Randle for is his passing... definitely has surprised me. Some pretty good decision making too with quick passes to open man
Yea, just comparing him to KAT. I think KAT has some nice vision and he makes flashy passes but Randle is more efficient and has better passing utility. He's really been diming since being back.

It's weird to watch Wolves and doesn't hear Grady but switched to ESPN and I hear his voice. - He is calling the Cavs game.

I definitely guarantee you that some team would offer to sign him to be a starter

For reference: Powell makes 20m, Hunter makes 23m. JMcD is 24M. I would expect Naz is at the same range but closer to 20.

The reports of Mike Conley's demise may have been greatly exaggerated!
Mike has played great the last few games. He is looking like the Mike of old. What a pleasant bonus that is.

I think Naz is closer to 30 than 20

If that really happens, than I let him walk and spend the money elsewhere.

Wolves got to find a way to stop Castle. They let that rookie walk all over them.

Randle becoming jokic since coming back is something I didn't expect
