"We've got a treat for your guys, tuning into the Trailblazers vs. the Kings." -NBA TV.

Haven't heard that sentence since 2005.

Thanks for the offer, NBA TV, but I am a Minnesota Timberwolves fan. I really don't need more bad basketball thrown on my plate.

I've seen two games from Suggs so far. And he does look "NBA ready" to me. He had an embarrassing final play last night but aside from that he's very composed for a rookie and ready to be out there. The potential issue I see is the "franchise guy" part. He looks ready to be a role player but he's not asserting himself or impacting the game enough to look like a future star at this point. Just a high end rotation player. Obviously he has a ton of time to turn that around.

I think the guy needs time, instead of everyone making assumptions after the first 3 games of pre-season.

Like... it's the first 3 games of pre-season. It'll take a couple years to judge this draft class at the very least.

I'm aware it's only been 3 pre season games. But all I ask for is some flashes of what could be. I'm not expecting Mobley, Scottie, Green or Giddey to ball out every game, I'm aware they'll suck some games. But at least they've flashed their potential on what they could be in the NBA. I'm waiting to see that from Suggs, and it's not like it's a minute restriction type of thing. It's more being scared or hesitant to score and not being able to create separation with his handle. I'll be watching Cade with the same eye, all I want is a game of two where you understand why they were thought of so highly in the draft.

I hope Jimmy Buckets feels better tomorrow, but I just find it humorous that a Miami Heat player got listed in the box score as "DNP - COLD".

People need to temper expectations on rookies after they have good games. Young players are going to have these types of games too. Especially against OG level defenders.

Of course, that's kinda why I posted it too show he's still human. Just feel like the moment Cade does something like that it will be a busy thread on the GB or something lol

Eric Bledsoe is definitely washed. His IQ is horrible too. Jackson/Mann should be the starting backcourt. Bledsoe needs to play 15 minutes tops.

Jalen Green will be a really good basketball player once he knows how to handle the ball better. He just might not have pretty looking efficiency numbers as a rookie but that's okay in a rebuild.

Gobert put up a pretty easy 19/19 in 24 minutes last night against Valanciunas and Hernangomez. His numbers might bump a little this year.

In other news, Mitchell now plays defense.

Just noticed that Westbrook had 9 turnovers in 26 minutes last game. Someone needs to tell him to stop chasing triple-doubles.
