I've been watching quite a few videos and it still seems some ppl are hesitant to believe the wolves are real. A reoccuring theme is that "Team X" is a bad matchup for the wolves but so far the wolves have passed the test in Phx and Den.

Now it's "how can they matchup with Luka and Kyrie"? They have nobody strong enough to deal with Luka like Dort. Hmm, they just dealt with prob the most physical series that they'll face in Den. Even though ppl are picking the wolves, it's done with grinding teeth. Can't wait for Wed...

I don't think it'll be a cake walk but I'd be surprised if we don't win.

This is probably going to be a 6 or 7 game series again.

Kendrick Perkins of all people looking like a basketball savant by believing in us waaaaaay earlier than most of the major national talking heads

Draymond Green continuing to bury himself by believing in his personal one-sided agenda against Gobert. Looks like he won't last long in TNT with the way his "analysis" look extremely foolish

Sounds like Green is actually supposed to be part of the TNT broadcast or inside site while they’re here this week

Yeah, I doubt he'll last long when he shows his agenda and makes himself look dumb

We couldn’t match up with Durant and Booker.

Jokic and Co. too much for us.

Luka and Kyrie with their all world bigs post trade (while similar to the other two teams in a lot of ways) are going to give us problems.

I welcome the narrative.

Luka doesn't have the conditioning to hang with us. He's going to have to beat us quick, or he will break down. Switch fresh guys on him..

Seeing KG getting so hyped about the young pups brings me immense joy. Fast forward to one minute for the best part when he's talking about defense.

BlacJacMac wrote:CHICAGO — The Detroit Pistons could come to a hiring decision on their president of basketball operations within the next few weeks, league sources tell The Athletic.

Whomever the Pistons tab for the position won’t have the benefit of a top-three pick at their disposal, as the organization fell to No. 5 for the third straight year during Sunday’s NBA Lottery, but even so, Detroit has been speaking to some promising candidates to fill the role, which has been vacant since 2018.

Part of the hold up, league sources say, is that Detroit appears interested in making a run at Minnesota Timberwolves head executive Tim Connelly, whose team is currently in the midst of a second-round playoff matchup with Connelly’s former team, the defending-champion Denver Nuggets.

Whether or not Connelly returns to the Timberwolves, league sources say he is likely to opt out of the final year of his contract. It seems likely that Connelly will return to Minnesota, but if Pistons owner Tom Gores is willing to offer something like $15 million annually, that could be enough to pry him away.
