I mean you can see Wright is still a decent player, can still play 10-15 minutes a game. It's a crime Thibs didn't use him. yeah he's a hole on offense but use his ball handling and defense while giving your top 7 guys some rest over the course of what 80 games? It's a bit late using him now lol.

Is it one per half or per game?

KAT's face during that sequence in slow-mo is HILARIOUS.

So haliburton can grab and hold Kats arm? But when towns grabs halis arm after it’s offensive??

The haliburton arm grab was marginal? Why? Because he’s shorter? Lmao this is how Caruso got away with guarding jokic

Vogel is a great coach.

And played himself.

I would've preferred a no call, speaking as a neutral. None of that contact affected anything.

[But once it's reviewed in slow-mo from all angles, you obviously have to call something.]

If you’re Towns all you have to do is back Haliburton down. Why face him up?

They are just Thibs retreads
.
Sam Cassell has won at every team he has been basically as a player and assistant.

He should be ob top of any team's shopping list who are looking for a new coach


Yeah me too I want to see something new, not the old over again and again. Iisalo would have been ideal, he had miracle results in Europe for years before joining the Grizzlies, but the Grizz already understandably locked him up as HC.

It’s Towns’ fault, he’s earned this reputation. He’s to dumb fouls what Draymond is to flagrants.

That is a not the correct call in my opinion. I find more than half the time I don’t agree with the reviews. What is the point of the whole thing at this point.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….
