Its painful watching Minnesota play in crunch time

Of course the Knicks drafted a super rookie and Melo is having his most unselfish year ever when we own their pick.

The Bargnani curse. He made them poor enough that they were able to get an impact player right out of the gates.

KAT beasting today after yesterday's poor outing. What a bounceback.

27 pts 17 rebs 3 asts 6 blks.

19 FGA. Heavy involvement, aside from crunch-time. Wolves somehow forgot about him :banghead:

Andre Drummond set an NBA record for most missed free throws. 23.

And so will it be "hack a Dre" a week Saturday. Raps can practise Sunday with Hack a Jordan.

Wonder if we'll ever see a "hack-off" where two teams take turns intentionally fouling the other team's poor-free-throw-shooting centre. Tonight was a good opportunity for it to happen. Of course it makes no sense intentionally fouling when you're up big but it would have been pretty funny.

That's a monster night, especially for a rookie. I haven't watched the Wolves much but it seems like their fans are really dissatisfied with Sam Mitchell.

He is so good. Can do it all too and looks so comfortable out there. I feel like he'd be getting way more hyped if he was on a big market team sadly...

Looks like Kobe was 19 years and 113 days old when he first scored 30pts

my worst nightmare is the knicks making the playoffs, play us in the first round and they win.

For his ability, Wiggins has absolutely zero court awareness. He could be triple teamed and he's still not kicking that ball to an open shooter. Opposing coaches know this too.

Towns is the Wolves future superstar, not Wiggins. He's going to be the best Center in the league within 2 years if not sooner.

man the Heat are just awful these days, three blowouts in a row and 1-6 in their last seven. Hope we crush them tomorrow to keep our win streak alive, keep the 2 seed on lock, and send Miami back with their tail between their legs.

Really no need usually Jonas schools Drummond plus he only rebounds and average in blocks well at the best of times. In every other aspect of the game he is below average or terrible at his position.

Drummond is hugely overrated by the majority of this board.

He is putting up Prime Dwight Howard numbers and has his team 6th in the east. I dont know if he is overrated

Tell me other than rebounding what is he good at?
P&R defense ....... No
Man to Man defense.....No
Rim protection.........No
Blocks...........Average
Assists..............Worse than JV
Steals. ............Average
Shooting %..... Bad
Range.......Terrible
Getting to line.....Good
FT%...........Revolting
If Casey was his coach he would never have gotten the minutes he did in Detroit and would never get 4th quarter minutes.
No he isn't current Dwight little less prime Dwight and I think Dwight is overrated.

More than 5 offensive rebounds a game.
6th in real plus minus for centers.
If you watch Detroit play, so much of their success is predicated on him. On those pick and rolls they are very hesitant to leave him and the guards get really good looks.

Yes like the +10 he got last night really +&- ratings terrible way to rate a player.
Look Detroit might not make the play-offs again so his success is limited.
He will get better defensively not sure offensively but will always be a flawed player.

I guess they looked at the rotation of the ball and called it against the hawk because it touched millsap's palm last.. even then i thought there was a rule against that.
