I don't want to jinx Naz but he hasn't missed a shot tonight.

Lead was up to 27. Shocking.

I like him too, but I would rather sign and trade him. We are set at the SF With Ant and MCD. We need a legit backup PF and C to fix our rebounding and improve our interior defense. I would be fine moving Bev to the bench and brining in another starter level PF, but I still wouldn’t want a small ball PF as a backup.

So I am a few minutes behind, we are up big, and though the score doesn’t show it, I am impressed by some of these OKC guys. The number of players they are missing and the talent in that group, and even though they are losing big they are playing real basketball. In a couple years with a couple good picks and a free agent or two and OKC could be scary.

I was just complaining about never getting blowouts and easy wins. We got two back to back. That is super sweet!

You know the team is getting better when JO’s playing time is limited to garbage time.
No disrespect to JO

Two of their best are out along with a lot of role players. We needed this to be an easy blow out. Taking care of business is beyond important, it’s what winning teams do!

35 and 29. A while back I commented on getting to 30 wins before 30 loses a. Well we topped it by getting to 35 wins before 30 losses. God I love the Finch and Bev era.

37 point win. WOW.

Flipping in Memphis. Flipping with our hands and feet right on Beale. Flipping in Memphis. Now you really know the way we feel.

I love that song so much I found out all about Muriel and the Hollywood.

It's like we traded Tauren Pauper for Tauren Prince in early 2022.

Bravo!

No jinx tonight! Plus 5 boards and 2 assts to polish it off.

74 points for the Wolves bench. Reid 8 of 8 field. Prince was 7 of 10 and 3 of 5 from 3. Pretty amazing.

What D? The best defense is a good offense.....they say.

Fun game for sure.

AARROOOOOOO!

I think we can get that pf/c and keep Prince. No way Prince gets what he's making now. He'll sign here for less.

We do have the full mid-level. And Okogie, Layman won't be back. Prince plays SF/PF right now. He plays like a veteran and can shoot. That's good enough for me.

I agree we need another big no doubt.

And we did!

Where in the rotation would he fit?

Bev, Dlo, Ant, V8, KAT
JMAC, Nowell, MCD, true PF, true C.

Prince is a SF and that is our deepest position with V8 being a natural SF in our system (because he can guard the SF and his length is disruptive.)

He fits in exactly where he fits in right now. He's earned his wings here with really good play over the last 6 weeks. I know Finch loves him and the guys do too from what I hear.
