Amazing win by Minny...hopefully this propels them to put a streak together and inch closer to .500.

Brooklyn looked absolutely dreadful and didn't put up a fight in the 2nd half which has been their staple so far this season. It looks like guys are on the verge of checking out. Hollins continues to treat Lopez like a rented mule playing him 40 minutes including the last 6 of the game when Minny had a 20 point lead and game was decided.

I just got back from barclays. Sat behind the Minny bench...watching KG coach during every timeout was one of the most fun basketball things I've ever seen in person. He's a special guy. And the Twolves are a very fun team to watch. Celtics will certainly have their hands full with KAT.

Brooklyn on the other hand...yikes. Very surprised they've got 7 wins. Just an awful team. Down 20 with 4-5 minutes and Hollins is still keeping his starters in there...and they have a back to back against Chicago tomorrow. Pointless 40 minutes for Lopez, 37 for Bogdanovic, 30+ for the other starters. It's genuinely hard to understand how they've won 7 times. Really is. At one point I had to look up some of the guys they had on the court. What a garbage roster.

Very nice stuff there from the Nets. They shouldn't be favored again until mid-January at the earliest. I know we said that last time, but it's still pretty great. One minor cause of worry before the season may have been Joe Johnson making one last push for his final contract, but he especially looks old.

So the Nets are on a 5 game losing streak now with not a winnable game in sight.

Need the pelicans to win a few games and give the nets some ground with a top 3 pick.

Go NOP! Take that 4th spot and run away with it!

Pelicans get the win tonight over the Nuggets so that puts the Nets back at #3. Also would like to point out the BIG minutes that Brooklyn's major players played today with a back to back against the Bulls tomorrow. Lopez played 40 minutes so we shall see how he holds up.

Nice loss against a sub .500 team at home. Bulls scare me a little with their inconsistency - is Gasol back?

Jimmy Butler called out his coach and team plus Brook on b2b...I would be shocked if Bulls don't win that game.

Love it. I legit posted this on the last page: Lopez and Johnson are in the Top 30 of total minutes played this season. It's really just a matter of time an injury creeps up with how they are being run into the ground.

Nevertheless- The C's MUST take two from them, not split. We already split once.

New Orleans doesn't believe in draft picks, and they're easily still in the playoff race. I don't expect them to be in the conversation soon.

Huge win by Minn yesterday.. Hopefully they can climb back into 8th seed contention in the West.

Post #1576 » by **Slartibartfast** » Mon Dec 21, 2015 4:52 pm

Amazing how wide open the West is this year. Minny's only a game back from the 8th seed and the competition is pretty soft.

Sadly, I do, though. Gotta believe we're at least better than them this year. And let KG see Gino one more time. But, I'm fine if they go on a nice streak starting tomorrow.

lol, this board would explode!

ETA: Wow, didn't realize Sully & Amir were out. It's the Lee-pocalypse! Which I will watch once NBATV allows it on league pass...
