There is 11 teams over .500 in the Western conference and only 2 teams over .500 in the Eastern conference. NYK the third best team is right at .500.

NYK are getting absolutely killed at the rim - and KAT is a big part of that. They need to hope Robinson comes back and meshes with Towns (and both stay healthy).

I don't know if they are getting kill but certainly not great. I am fairly sure Towns could play with Robinson. Just like playing with Gibson or Gobert.

Killed.

They’re 28th in DFG% at the rim.

With so many injuries around the NBA, I would trade some wins for wider rotation, more experience for rookies, better load management and low injury risk. With Conley regressing so quickly it is not our year for championship anyway.

KD, Zion, CJM, lMorant, and Holmgren (sounds like it's really bad) are all out. The west will be win by who's healthy, so maybe we shouldn't push so hard in the regular season.

Towns 46pts tonight. Painful to watch. This trade is as bad as let Billups and Bobby Jackson walk.

Would you rather be a NOP, LAC, MIL or MIN fan right now?

I'm still confident we will turn it around. I'm not very worried but we need to figure it out.

As disappointed as I am right now, I'd still rather be a MN fan. NOP pins all their hope on a guy that can't stay healthy, LAC is just delusional and WTF is wrong with Mil??

Towns playing aggressive on offensive boards. Just did a Nutcracker on Cam and got flagrant one for it

Robert Williams has been playing extremely well when he is healthy

He always does. He's just never healthy.

I am surprised how good he looks as passer in five-out. He made some Sabonisque passes

How is all these teams, especially, Kings, Blazers, and 76er let Dalton Knecht slide down to the Lakers? There is got to be some value for anyone that can really shoot the basketball.

I need to add Philly to that list. They loss tonight even with everyone back. Although PG did get hurt again. That is a 2-12 start. Good thing they are in the East and still has a very good shot in making the play-in

Despite all those complaints about Towns' interior defense, NYK are start to gel. Towns going to be all star again this year. It is ironic that Wolves loss their defensive identity without Towns and NYK loss their defensive identity because adding Towns.

NOP is so bad with injury, they had to start Elfird Payton. They may as well join the Cooper Flagg league at this point.

Read on Twitter

Kyle ability to guard C position was very important for defensive success in last two seasons. He guarded guys such as Valanciunas ans Jokic. MIN don't have this luxury this season

That stat is actually talking about the other side of the ball, on offense.

4 teams in the east with winning records. 3 teams in west with losing records.
