Please let Petrušev know the 911 number, he likes to call the cops.

I mean, name the times this team has put an actually good team around him (apart from when we had Jimmy), with not washed stars, and a **** coach?

But Jo played fine against the Celtics in the series Ben was hurt for. Averaged 30 in that series.

He was a +90 in the Kawhi, Raptors series despite having the runs.

He averaged close to 30 against the Hawks, when Ben turtled.

He won us the Raptors series with that game winning shot, and played great that series, then got his face caved in by Pascal.

He played dominant, dpoy level defense in both series this year.

He also fumbled the bag, in 2 game 7s and a game 6. But he also had the ultimate bag fumblers in James Harden, Ben Simmons and Doc Rivers.

Jo doesn't show up though right? How soon we forget.

Everyone has played a role in this teams demise, but to say that Jo has no showed every time in the playoffs is a little ridiculous. You know there are nuances there, injuries, inexperience, bad teammates, washed teammates, bad coaching.

Didn't know what this was in reference to. But I guess it was a Sixers on Sixer crime (Lessort punching Petrusev). Interesting.

This doesn't make any sense from a Timberwolves perspective.

With the Edwards extension, they’re a 2nd apron team next season if they don’t trade either Towns, Gobert, or McDaniels (RFA).

They’d have to attach picks to get rid of Gobert. McDaniels is the cheaper, younger, and better fitting option to keep over Towns.

They get picks, huge cap relief, and a well-fitting 4 they can re-sign to a cheaper contract due to bird rights.

He averaged 18 points on 37% shooting. Give me a **** break, dude. Shot 43% in the Miami series and 42% against Boston. He was fine in the Atlanta series, I guess.

He's someone who needs to be carried in the payoffs and I think he's realizing it.

Jailblazers7 · Post #229 » by **Jailblazers7** » Mon Jul 17, 2023 3:57 pm

Yeah, I think trading KAT for picks & cap relief opens room for McDaniels next contract. It also allows them to build a team tailored to Ant’s game & full give him the keys to the franchise.

I think a large portion of the Wolves fan base is ready for KAT to move on too. Just too many dumb quotes & boneheaded moment.

You're also choosing to ignore everything else I wrote.

And the Raptors two year ago?

You can't say name a time when Jo has stepped up, and then choose to ignore those times.

You also choose to ignore the **** franchise around him with bad teammates, washed stars, horrible asset management, and terrible coaches.

I 100% acknowledge them. I just don't think they outweigh the franchise's failings. I mean we had a freaking GM that **** on his best player on twitter lol. What are we even talking about here. Clearly all Embiid's fault though lol.

Who cares about a first round series against a bad team.

I admit that he can step up when it doesn't matter.

You can't say name a time when Jo has stepped up.

I didn't say you couldn't. I asked you to list them so they could be assessed individually.

I said you couldn't name a time he stepped up in a playoff series against a good team. I'll give you Atlanta, I guess. But they're the worst good team we've played in the playoffs by far, and he still turned the ball over 8 times in game 7.

You also choose to ignore the **** franchise around him with bad teammates, washed stars, horrible asset management, and terrible coaches.

I complain about that all the time. It doesn't excuse Embiid's performances when it matters.

There is truth in every joke/troll.

Con man Morey went from not believing in backup Centers to having 4 of them.

Never said it did. All I think is that I don't blame him for wanting to leave. I also don't think it's fair to say he's a choker, when the franchise has choked even more. He's also been injured every time, you can blame him for that, but it's the reality and unfortunate. We have horrible luck, always have. In another dimension Jo has won 3-4 chips if he was healthy and had a Spurs/Warriors level of team building.

Mik317 · Post #239 » by **Mik317** » Mon Jul 17, 2023 4:11 pm

Jo has to look inward and be better. Can't quit when things are going bad in game. Thats what he did in game 7 and he has to hold that

The team around him was flawed and poorly built and it over extended him and yet again he ran out of juice.

Both of these things can be true...its not an either or thing.

Jo has to adjust his mindset and approach and the FO has to build a team that makes that easier to do. This blame game stuff takes the brunt off of each party too much imo.

everybody involved (including us somehow lol) are hoe ass bitches until proven otherwise.

You didn't say that bro, this is what you wrote.

You can't choose to be more specific after the fact. It's true though, he has come up small against good teams, but he's also been hurt, and has had teammates **** the bed even worse in those series. So, call it it a wash I guess?
