I wish we could play the craptors in the first round

Brogdon is too good to be sitting out most of the game and every close game. We need his offense especially when we do dumb slow stuff offensively late when we have the lead.

Jaylen Brown somehow managed to get 14 shots off in a half without a single free throw. His defenders' body and soul all bruised up and they are shaking in their boots thinking about the punishment they'll get in the 2nd half.

If Bubblegum would let Malcolm & Derrick run the show most of the time & at crunch time, & bench Smart much more, our odds of 18 skyrocket.
But he doesn’t have the balls. And Marcus would beat him to a pulp.

Let’s get the chip & get Marcus a ring, then bye bye.

PACKAGE HIM W 7 & Grant FOR KAT OR THE DUDE IN PHOENIX.

I would trade Brown for Kat straight up for sure.. And I think Minnesota has to get rid of that two big lineup which doesn't work...

Only problem I see is Brown will not promise to resign on the timberwolves..
