Eh, he's smug and swaggers too much for my taste. That said, Kyle Anderson can be kind of a noodge.

The drop off in talent from Lively to Powell is huge. Way bigger than I expected

Luka getting tough on Slowmo then the ball bounces off the top of his head was some great unscripted comedy.

Luka - "come on, man." He really acts like he should take no contact. Just escort me to the hoop while I score on you.

Doncic is going to be that superstar that you will never fully embrace because of his attitude and the way he complains on the court.

My goodness dude you're great, please cut that extra nonsense out. It turns people off when he does that crap. Just play ball bro!

Doncic literally starts this flop stuff when he’s upset the refs are letting the defense be physical with him. Last couple game we barely saw the annoying Doncic. This version can easily lead the team into a loss instead of staying composed

Timberwolves finally waking up and standing up to Luka. Put him on his ass. If he is going to talk and bitch then you talk right back

It has nothing do with his nationality, he's just a pouty baby.

He pretty much gets fouled on every play.

It's crazy that he throws his head back after EVERY little contact. They haven't been calling the ticky tack fouls for months now.

Doncic is such a whiny baby. Hopefully they clobber him some more in this game.

Wow, Reggie recognizes Finch is the coach now.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….
