All my Minny guys are looking great.

Conley with 13/3/5 with 44/41/87 splits and 1.2 TOV a night
Slo Mo with 12/8/8 in the last 10 with 51/40/55 splits and great D
Excluding last night where McDaniels had 1 point and 5 fouls in 9 minutes he was averaging 19/4/2 on 52/45/81 splits in an 8 game stretch.

If I can get 3 3 stars out of them I think I'm fine.

GG NewEra.

GG bro. Seems our defense collapsed in the 2nd quarter. Does that bring our season series to 2-2?

Sucks to lose Klay for essentially the remainder of the regular season, but happy I'll have him healthy for the 1st round.

Your defense on Trae was a killer; and you owned the 4th quarter. Thankfully Lopez stepped up and had one of his best games since trading for him.

Great game Cap.

Though I loved Huerter's fit on the squad, I still rate that Denver team pretty high, so to beat them without Klay and Westbrook feels good. Our defense won us that game. Holding a team with Kyrie, KAT and Beal to just 88 points could never be easy. GG Hezi.

I'm the only team to beat NewEra post trade I'm proud of that lol. They've been rolling if you look at who he's played it's insane he's been like 16-1.

there are more tanking teams in the EC than non play in spots. Someone will be playing some kind of playoff basketball not because they want to :lol:

I was not expecting such an easy win without DeRozan. I figured that Mitchell/Garland backcourt would give me some serious problems.

Good game K-Dot/Lakers

I don't know why coaches do this but some of them cannot make up their mind about who to start when it comes to young players. Steve Clifford's handling of Mark Williams and Nick Richards is a perfect example of a head coach bumbling a young players development. He started Nick over Mark and they barely got the win. In fact he DNPd Mark after he had one of the best games of his career.

Now Clifford may be one these arrogant **** who thinks he can win even though he sits his best players and/or he can develop a franchise big while he rides the pine :crazy: But he can't. Mark needs his minutes and giving them to a 2nd team player should be a firing offense.

I think Williams has franchise big written all over him. Unless he reinjured his leg, there is no excuse for this.
