He's the guy who nearly had a 20/20 a couple games back along with 5 blocks. I'm hoping he can integrate better with KAT now that Conley is running the show. We'll find out soon, I hope.

There are just so many parts as to why these moves were made. Another thing to remember in the Russell vs. Conley debate is what Russell was doing with a full lineup. He was of course behind both Ant and Towns in the pecking order, and as a result averaged 14.4 ppg on 43/32/78 shooting splits before KAT went down. That's the sample size that needs to be recognized, because that's the role Russell was about to return to.

There is no chance he leaves LAL, but I think MIN could use Austin Reaves shooting from the bench.

Max LAL can pay Reaves is 4/50...

Technical Fouls

1 Dillon Brooks Memphis Grizzlies SG 18
2 Trae Young Atlanta Hawks PG 16
2 Draymond Green Golden State Warriors PF 16
2 Luka Doncic Dallas Mavericks SF 16
5 Anthony Edwards Minnesota Timberwolves SG 14
6 Jordan Poole Golden State Warriors SG 12
7 De'Aaron Fox Sacramento Kings PG 11

One of my least favorite players, Dillon Brooks, picked up his 18th technical foul last night. I knew that a player gets suspended if they reach 16, but didn’t know they get an additional suspension for every two techs over 16. He’ll miss the Rockets game on Wednesday.

Regular season technical fouls don’t carry over to the playoffs. Regardless, we can’t afford for Ant to get two more.

One of those is not like the others imo.
Most of those guys have a ‘reputation.’

Ant gets absolutely mugged in the paint and there’s no call. Then at the other end Ant breathes too hard on someone and gets whistled. (I am exaggerating but not by much.) I’d be frustrated too. The quality of NBA refereeing has turned into absolute horse manure. All we can hope for is Ant starts getting superstar calls. It’s sadly a borderline WWE state of affairs though.

Better yet, someone needs to start handing out Razzies for best performance in a non-foul. Maybe if these guys are sufficiently mocked/publicly shamed things will change.

Reaves at MLE is a solid signing. I doubt they go that high for Dlo but we can hope lol

They can, but it could get ugly since Reaves is an "Arenas Rule Free Agent":

50 Cent’s Sire Spirits becomes “Official Spirit and Champagne Partner of the Timberwolves”

Wolves with an official mimosa partner? Now that’s a partnership I can get behind.

50 Cent’s Sire Spirits partners with Minnesota Timberwolves

50 Cent has been making a lot of more moves lately, in regards to his Sire Spirits brand. He’s been able to get these alcoholic drinks in various NBA arenas, as he’s partnered with the Houston Rockets, Indiana Pacers and Sacramento Kings, so far. As a result, month, 50 even went viral at a Pacers game, where he meet actor Will Ferrell, court side.

However, 50 has just linked up with another NBA team, to get Sire Spirits drinks, which includes Branson Cognac, available at their games. This is with the Minnesota Timberwolves, as they play inside the Target Center. Therefore, 50’s Le Chemin du Roi Champagne is also included.

In addition to getting Sire Spirits drinks at Timberwolves games, 50 and the team are also giving back to the local community. 50 and the TWolves will host basketball clinics for the youth, as this is in partnership with 50’s G Unit Foundation.

“I had the opportunity to meet with the Timberwolves and knew they were the perfect partners for Sire Spirits,” 50 Cent said in a statement. “I am a big fan of the team, and I am excited to spend more time in Minnesota and get to know all the fans.”

Meanwhile, 50 has also been dominating in television. Season 2 of “BMF” concluded earlier this month, as “Powerbook II: Ghost” season 3 went on to air, on March 17. BMF has also been renewed for a third season.

Normally I don't care, but why is Brooklyn 13th in the power rankings? That's seems way too overrated.

Gil is so smart for someone who did something so stupid.


Goes to show. Smart people can do dumb things and dumb people can be talented basketball players who freeze up and are slow to move the ball when doubled. Which negates the advantage the double presented.

LaMelo needs to worry more about the physical toll that his body seems unprepared for.

The Ball brothers are phenomenal talents, and it'll be a shame if they both have severely shortened careers.
