We play them on Tuesday. Story worth following.

he was sprinting pretty good after it happened. Put it this way I’ve seen guys look much worse than he did after spraining an ankle lol

Ayton is out for a week. He will miss the game against us. Wolves Killer Bismaack Biyombo will fill in for him.

He might do well against Wolves, but he has never play the TimberNuggets

Another nice win for Lamelo less Hornets. Kuminga is in the dog house.

Thunder leading by 1 against a full strength Mavs team after 3rd Qtr

For those who missed it, more details are out about Primo. The Spurs have a female ex-employee who is suing them for Primo exposing himself to her. There are rumors about multiple additional woman he exposed himself too. I have also heard (though I think this is more fan speculation than media speculation,) that some of them may have been minors. He claimed he was stepping away for mental health. Maybe he has a pathological need to show people his ****.

Utah is about to beat Memphis and screw me out of big bet. Yep, Beasley with a huge dagger 8-0 run, OUCH! These boys are good right now! They crushed me.

The start of this season is super wacky, teams are all over the place, teams that should be terrible are great and great teams are mediocre.

Jazz beat the Grizzlies (though without Ja). OKC to OT with the Mavs. I think people underestimate what winning games means in a long NBA season where teams aren't maximizing for every game. Everyone thinks that other teams are playing perfect pretty basketball and dominating all of the time when really it's much different than that. Sure, you can be the Warriors and go 73-9 but that is a rare exception and I don't think that's what we are expecting.

I think the mental health comment is as simple as he probably had a f'd up situation happen to him similar to what he is doing to others when he was younger. Trauma gets passed down and it's hard to break the cycle. People are focusing on that comment when it's not that complicated and this isn't an excuse for his actions.

OKC has won 3 games. Those games are against the Clippers twice and Dallas once. Utah has beaten Denver, Minnesota, Pels, Rockets, and Griz. Did someone forget to send them the tanking memo?

Why I am not super worried about our poor play. It is a concern and needs to be addressed but very few teams are who they will be right now. This is basically extended pre-season except the wins and losses matter. We are 4-2, I'll take that. The season will look way different in 20 games.

Very true. I like the 3 week rule myself. No team will really have their act together in the first 3 weeks. Some will be closer than others, and some will ride their talent and strength of schedule, but 3 weeks in you start to see more consistent play.

Certainly exposed his shortcomings after a good showing in the first games against Wolves when he was in uniform. However, if it's truly a mental health situation, we should wish him well and could recover from it.

I want to preface this post by saying I am disappointed and really pissed by a 4-3 start. I find it pathetic and inexcusable. Yet, what I’m about to point out does double as an excuse.

OKC beat Dallas in Dallas 117-111
Utah beat Memphis in Utah 124-123

Can't believe the Lakers got Denver.

So did Utah and Portland. Tell me you see any of those losses coming?

Any person who goes around exposing himself/herself to people who don't want it is mentally ill. It truly is a mental health situation.

I too am devastated by our 4-3 start. The Following are teams considered contenders with worse or same record as our Wolves.

Denver 4-3
Dallas 3-3
GSW 3-4
LAC 2-4

Bron and Brow both playing and Westbrook with a very good game. They get all those on the same night and they can beat anybody.
