Too early to say, but he could turn out to be their Derrick White.


meh, Barrett and Quickley were their Dennis Shroeder & Enes Kanter. OG helps them tho, good fit to bolster their defense and to complement Randle/Brunson instead of take the ball from them.

It was reported a few months ago that Anunoby was unhappy in Toronto because he wanted more touches. I assume that sooner or later he'll feel the same way in NY (unless they stay unbeaten forever).

Having said that, I've always thought this guy would look great in green.

Minny has 1 fewer offensive rebound than the Mavs have rebounds.

So now that Draymond Green has been reinstated, how many games before he gets another flagrant foul, and how many games until he gets ejected again?

You only have to look at the Grizzlies/Suns box score to understand why we were never going to win a championship with Smart.

Can't believe I'm rooting for Luka and Kyrie to win a game. Let's go Mavs!

Hey Kidd, take out Hardaway now. He's hurting your cause.

After Grant's missed three, I think Wolves went on a 9-0 run. They're just leaving Grant and DJJ to load up on Kyrie and Luka.

I'm not seeing what you're seeing.

21 points on 16 shots, 7/3 A/TO, etc. looks as good as or better than a lot of Jrue stat lines.

Edit: And that was just partway through Q3. He's the team's leading scorer so far into the game.

Wolves actually play some good teams not missing their best players and they lose.

What?! You support a team that already has double digit losses?? But it's only the first week of January.
