What’s wrong with KAT? Damn get your ass in the post. Some of these dudes just roam on the perimeter.

The Wolves just aren't getting any good looks. Poor isolations, slow reactions to double teams.. they aren't making any passes into space

He's so amazing on this Clippers team, just a joy to watch as a fan. He's a true glue guy through and through, and Lue can use his skills and versatility to great benefit.

As long as they're consistent with it and don't start blowing whistles at a bunch of stuff that they're letting go at the moment.

So if the Wolves lose both games and miss the playoffs would they be the team with the most wins in history not to make the playoffs?

Clippers are built so perfectly for the playoffs. They methodically squeeze the life out their opponents. If they had Leonard at full strength the last 2 years, I think they'd be going Back to Back.

Suns missed the playoffs with 46 wins in the 2000's and 48 wins in 13-14

Twin Cities have great crowds and are starved for success. All four major teams get tons of love in meaningful moments.
