While I agree generally, I'm less sold on Ant than I now am on say, Cade Cunningham. Ant's approach is pretty wildly inconsistent and tends to settle when things turn on him. Cade's approach is consistent but the results aren't always there.

Cade keeps attacking and he's developing a midrange.


i feel like he's improved on it already though. sometimes it doesn't happen all at once. and pressure will make you revert to bad habits. as competitive as the west is, the kid made it to the wcf twice in a row now as the best player on a team. that's pretty hard.

Ant is fine.

SGA's the better player, but the most significant difference I think is that the Thunder are absolutely stacked beyond SGA whereas the Wolves have a more generic, "good team" built around their best player.


SGA is constantly attacking though and would in any environment + he developed a nasty, nasty midrange that he didn't have when he entered the league. He has the mindset and the tools to keep attacking. The next step for Ant is to build his game so he doesn't get cornered into 3s when the lanes close.

That team reminds me of an alternate reality where we dont trade julius , Ragu and somehow retain Ihart. Just a well built big team with loads of quality depth.

I think we'd go farther because Brunson has the mental and clutch over Edwards.

Cha and I actually agree on a lot more players than we disagree on, it's just that our disagreement was more visible.

I am an enabler of those on the same side as me, yes, even if it's chaos. If it furthers my plans but leaves ruin in its wake, I'm fine with that.

There are times when you don't really need to say much, this is one of those times, the universe came through with one of those moments where everything aligned in such hilarious fashion. Big Bodega saving our season with 20 points in the 4th quarter alone, game thread polluted with whining incessantly about him, for this to happen the next day? Thank you father.


we were talking bout his defense to be fair


Pacers only scored 20 points in the entire 4th with towns at center and he matched their scoring output by himself and Mitch played 30 seconds in the 4th! He’s not the problem shammy! Chanel posted the impact stats!!!!

his defense was mostly fine in that quarter. there are times when he appears locked in which makes all the other times that much more annoying.

I watched the entire 2017-2018 Kentucky basketball season, it was a very lackluster year and at no point while watching SGA play in my wildest imagination did I think this guy could be a future league MVP, literally the best player in the nba, possibly 5 games away from a championship and maybe a finals MVP, his shooting form was disgusting(I know someone will point out he shot 40% but it was on an extremely small sample size since he only shot 1.5 attempts per game and seemed scared to shoot, teams would give him Josh hart treatment) and I didn’t think he’d be anything in the NBA. I continue to be baffled that I watched this guy play in 37 games and somehow didn’t see anything that suggested to me that he could be what he is right now. I suck

I moved heaven and earth to move up in that draft in BAF to get him. I loved his slithery drives but basically saw him as a souped up Andre Miller. Both he and Brunson are beyond my wildest predictions and I was high on both in that draft. Considering where they were picked, we were not alone in that miscalculation.

Jalen Williams deserves more respect around here. Really wanted us to draft him. He’s probably the best second option in the league after Jaylen Brown.

It's weird. The Nuggets had him handled and he's back to being awesome against the Wolves. He looked super straight line, no wiggle in that series.

Spoiler:
Also, KAT tho. At least on offense.

I was too enamored with Luka and watching his euroleague highlights to pay much attention to anybody else. At least I was right about that one. I had dreamed of him joining KP. Well, it ultimately happened, just not for us.
