Whenever I watch Maxi he's always bricking 3s.

What team wants KAT on a max contract?

I bet the Suns would love to trade Beal for Towns but Beal is an even worse contract :D


I would trade KD for Towns and filler... Not because he is better than durant just that the fit might be better... Suns could use a 3rd banana not a second first option...The offense was so ugly in phx last year...Booker and Durant dont play well with each other...

Rudy got away with one two mins ago before a big 3, taking out Green. So either you call both or none. For sure he didn’t get hosed

Can't say that Wolves didn't have a chance to put some distance between them and the Mavs. Missed some really nice open looks. Ant with a little too much tunnel vision and had an open Naz Reid on a few of those possessions.

To be fair, his shoulder is absolutely cooked. That is NOT his normal shooting form. :lol:

Wolves might think about saving Kat for later w/ 5 fouls but i start him in the 4th if im them. That dumbass is gonna pick up the 6th eventually 0 chance he doesnt foul out this game. Hes at least playing decent outside of the fouls and you need to give Ant some rest.

If Dallas manages to comeback this game and pull off the win, it's hard not to root for them or back them in the NBA Finals. Just such resilience if it happens.
