It's all about Tony Brothers. :roll: This guy has no business being an NBA official.

As soon as Gobert comes back, he causes Doncic to commit a TO

Is the TNT crew on strike? What's with all these angles that don't show what we're looking for? First that Doncic strip and now this one.

Kerr would start Conley, Ant, McDaniels, Naz, KAT with Anderson and NAW playing big minutes. Gobert would be a gadget player to be brought in only when his presence is needed in the paint. Gobert is a player you avoid playing if you can help it given the rest of Minny's personnel.


I agree Rudy is killing the Wolves and should be sitting this series but today's senile Kerr would have lost the last series by having a 6-5 guard Joker so there's that

That's not a serious comment. Kerr changed the NBA with his use of personnel and he would kill it with this Minny roster just coaching them to play them the way he's comfortable with. This roster is great for what he likes to do.


Kerr / Warriors need to accept that you can't win vs rosters today with your tallest player being 6-8.
Rest in peace Kobe & Gianna

I really wonder who’s going to be the odd man out in the Towns/Gobert/Reid trio this off season because they’re obviously all starters

Again horrendous offense by the wolves.

Choke, the Timberwolves are frauds sadly
The Greatest of All Time debate in basketball is essentially who has the greatest basketball resume of the player who has the best highlights instead of who is the best player
