What a game at the garden...
Raptors tried to give it away, but Knicks graciously refused...

If Kessler goes 20/20 on these guys, Ima chuckle a bit.

Brunson had a good look at a potential game winner but it just didn't drop.

Raptors just seemed to not want to win this game, kept trying to give chances for New York to win. Something is just not quite right with them this year. Might be the most disappointing team in the East

Knicks were playing on back to back matinee games while TOR was on 2 day rest. They were screw by the schedule maker.

Kessler has a 20 pts and 21 rebounding game. My goodness the wolves got raped in that deal

That one has got to doubly sting for the Wolves

This season has to be the biggest bummer for Wolves fans. Sorry guys.

Big win for Utah. Not because their draft pick position improved or because their position in standing improved that much, but instead Minnesota's draft pick value didn't improve.

Utah's rookies (Kessler and Agbaji) were really good in this game.

Gobert trade is looking like the worst trade in NBA history.

Whether you plug in Towns, Gobert, or Reid at center, they look really good. The problem is if you put 2 of them on the floor together, it's a disaster. So either you trade Towns and build around Gobert and Edwards or continue down this path of nothingness.

Wow. That Wolves trade might go down as the worst trade in NBA history. That team would have been absolutely stacked.

D'angelo Russell/Patrick Beverley
Anthony Edwards/Malik Beasley
Jaden Mcdaniels/Kyle Anderson
Jarred Vanderbilt/Taurean Prince
Karl Anthony-Towns/Walker kessler

Not only worst trade but they destroyed market value also thanks Minny now teams like raptors and Indiana is looking for huge hauls for there veterans also.

It was a foul too. Should've been an and1. Refs are blind and gifted the game to the Raptors. Never should've gone OT, Thibs plays his starters near 40 minutes a game, they won't last in overtime.

Just saw that Memphis is 29-0 this season when leading by double digits. That's one of the most impressive stats I've seen for the first half of this season. Especially with all the big comebacks in the league this year.

We need to flex the Clippers, Suns and Lakers off of national television with this display of basketball

The Grizzlies are 100% legit contenders from now on for the next few years. They beat you in so many different ways.

BigDan245 · Post #60 » by **BigDan245** » Tue Jan 17, 2023 1:05 am

Memphis is by far the favorite in the west...Only team I can see beating them is a healthy New Orleans and what are the chances they are healthy?

Who wins?
