From a fundamental standpoint it is better for a man to have nothing but be under the protection of Jesus Christ than for him to have everything he could ever want yet be completely without.

They could trade one of their 4 tradeables for a pick in this one


Curry, Butler and Draymond make a combined 139.4 million. This is the squad. Play-in at best next year again.

Yeah, unfortunately can’t improve much unless it’s a miracle trade or something.

OKC, Denver, Minnnesota, Houston are your guaranteed Top 4. Then everyone else (2 LAs, Golden State, Memphis plus the rising team Spurs, healthy Mavs etc) all vying for the playin.

If Cooper Flagg is as good as everyone thinks and the Mavs stay healthy, I would not count out Dallas as top 4 seed in the West

Now we have no tankers in the WC (except maybe Utah if Ryan Smith lets Ainge do it again) since being horrible doesn't guarantee top-3 picks. They are going to have to bring it in the regular season.

What do you want them to do? Make the local fans to come at 5pm at the game? Most people are commuting.

If they play like games 1,3 and 4 of the 1st round, they have a good chance, if the play like the last 6 games, they are swept.
The Wolves haven't played their "A" game since Game 1 against the Lakers. We're 8-2 with four (4) Away wins in the Playoffs. You can't ask for much more considering they are capable of playing at a higher level.

OKC and DEN deserve their props, especially the Thunder, but neither team will be excited about facing MIN. Both Conference Finals should be great series regardless of who the last two (2) qualifying teams are.

Damn Kerr is looking older now, guessing he will step down from coaching once Steph is no longer a Warrior

Put us in the Eastern conference where we belong. Ya know, with all the other cities we're rivals with in every other sport like Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, and the Wisconsin teams...

probably did not help when Kuminga having -12 on/off on these playoffs. The gamble of trading offense for defense did not pan out.

He honestly shouldn't be...he should be up wondering why the hell he waited so long to trade Butler despite knowing he didn't want to pay him. Could of got a better return and avoided the whole mess around the situation. Should of happened the year before or at the very least during the offseason right when he made it known he wasn't going to give him the extension....waited way too long.
