T Wolves have multiple big men that failed to rebound in Game One against Golden State. Thry failed to take advantage of Steoh's hamstring injury.

Ant lead the team in rebounding with 14.

T Wolves are favored to win by 11 points.

Their frontcourt needs to rebound or else just stay home.

I wanted Buddy to be a Hawk since he was drafted but it's nice to see him doing well in GS.

Remember Buddy was a Kobe guy. Kobe loved him.

Denver doesn't get their money worth from Michael Porter Jr. Coach needs to get him more focused and utilize him more.

MPJ is a perfect example of overpaying for potential on young, unproven players.

They let Bruce Brown and KCP get away at much lower price tags and kept porter instead. That's the real reason they haven't become a dynasty.

Their veteran role players walk away while young core pieces never fully reach their All Star projections...

I concur.
I valued both Bruce and KCP greatly.

Boston not having depth at the 5 position or working the ball inside the paint has been bad basketball. Boston had all year to fix this issue before the trade deadline.

Points In The Paint
Boston 32
New York 64

Yeah, Celtics hit the jackpot last year, defeating 4 less than stellar post season opponents by just playing 3 & D.

They then convinced themselves that approach was enough to net them a dynasty.

NOTE: It wasn't.

Pascal Siakam has been doing what was expected since being traded to thr Pacers. This guy know how to win and at one point he was in rumors to the Hawks. Maybe just discussions.

Rumor was Hawks didn't want to pay him.
Nothing new.
