Messed up. No idea how the T-Wolves get a season going now.


At the same time it could bring that up and coming mix of youngin's and vets even tighter and do some really special things in the West this year.

I hope so. I've always liked the T-Wolves organization. They did have the uber-ass hat KG playing there, but that was when he wasn't a complete nut job and only a little bit of one. I'd like to see them come together to make the playoffs. I'm huge on Towns. I think he'll take them to the playoffs shortly.

I see the Wolves in another year or two making the playoffs. There is too much competition for that last playoff position in the West for them to make it.

Giannis looks like he has DOPY potential. Seriously, he covers so much ground and can bother anyone in the league, from quick PGs like walls to the biggest guys out there, with his length and mobility. At times he tries to much, leaving his man open in order to help. But 1) he can do that to an extent because he can cover ground so quickly and 2) he's going to figure it out when to show and not eventually. But I'm really impressed how much he seems to have improved and it's outstanding to see how important he is for the Bucks on both ends. Offensively, he is unguardable on the fast break, has the potential to be a really good offensive rebounder, became stronger and therefore a better finisher and overall seems more calm, confident and aware of what he can and can't do. Exciting guy!

Jeremy Lin credits his childhood upbringing as a huge Golden State fan to be the reason behind the way he interacts with his fans.

Rockets beat the Clippers, lol.

Weird that they're having issues gelling with heady players like Josh Smith and Lance Stephenson joining up. To me, it's so perfect that Balmer owns the team because every failure with Microsoft has manifested in the Clippers. Windows 8 was 100% based on what looked good "on paper" with total disregard for what it looks like "in actuality." Same **** with these Clippers, love it.

Work friend in SAC was saying this whole situation was coming a long time ago. Direct quote "It's like Mean Girls of the NBA".

Wonder where Cousins lands

Agreed. someone posted a list of moves they've made since Vivek took over. It looks like a 20 step process on how to successfully make the most dysfunctional organization in two short years.

Whoever thought it was a good idea to bring in Karl at that point in time needs to be taken out of the basketball ops meetings. And I'm not sure why they'd hire Vlade as GM, given the lack of experience. Or why they hired a coach before a GM. It's frustrating just to think about as a non Kings fan!

cousins if it's true was in the wrong to go on a tirade like that in front of his team mates. Makes me think those snake in the grass tweets from cuz over the summer was in fact about Karl. Nevertheless, can't imagine a way to repair that relationship. Karl needs to go.

It was either Vlade or C-Webb, but they were concerned Chris' hands would turn to stone once Q4 rolled around. At least Vlade passes all his decisions to Vivek.

I'm sure they also interviewed Doug Christie, who likely **** everyone's wife.

McHale fired, J.B Bickerstaff takes over. Houston desperate this season. Morey has to be concerned for his job.

McHale should be a happy man. Doesn't have to put up with the BS and Morey signed him 11 months ago to a fully guaranteed 3 year, 12 million dollar extension. Take the money and run Kevin!

Coaching Harden must be as big a headache as it is a pleasure to have him on your team. How do you create a team around a guy that requires that much usage to get numbers? Can't stand his game.

I tell you what, that Brad Stevens has got that bunch of seemingly talentless squad up in Boston playing VERY well. He's a coach and a half.
