Re: Detroit 1st round pick

Yes, Detroit’s 1st round pick looks surprisingly within reach this next draft. But more likely, it looks like we have a good shot at getting that pick in 2026 or 2027. Until now, I’ve been assuming we’d end up with Detroit’s 2027 2nd round pick, but the Piston’s young talent seems to be showing sign...

Re: Around the League - '24-25 Season

KAT had 26 points, 15 rebounds and 6 assists with only 1 turnover in the Knicks win tonight. Of course, he had 5 fouls. Some things never change. :). I’d feel better about Jaden’s apparent desire to lead the league in fouls if he would consistently put up offensive numbers half as good as KAT’s toni...

Re: Here comes the Suns...Wolves/PHX GDT

I agree largely with Abe’s takes except for his broad take on Rob. Dilly just hasn’t had enough playing time to evaluate him. He’s actually made some really nice reads and passes. He’s a bit tentative, but he needs minutes on the court to adjust to the speed of the game, get a rhythm and gain some c...

Re: Key Individual Stats Tracker - '24-25 Season

Great stuff, Q. Thanks for posting. Regarding Rudy, I think he’s having his best season as a Timberwolf so far and perhaps his best or one of the best seasons of his career. He seems better this season than last on the offensive end and some of that might be KAT’s departure. Whatever it is, as a guy...

Re: Kekgeek grades G10 vs heat

I agree with FNG that a C for Donte is way too low. He was a huge positive factor for the team last night even as many of his teammates kept screwing up and failed to bring the necessary energy to the court. I also think Jaden’s grade is too high. His boneheaded foul down the stretch alone takes hi...

Re: Wolves v. Heat Game Report

Hope your back heals lip. I’ve had back issues since a high school injury and my issues are not too your extent but when the spasms flare up for me time to time it’s crazy how helpless you feel. I wish you the best in your recovery, hopefully you can make a few games this year and let me know if yo...

Wolves Players I Trust

After 10 games so far this season, there are only four players on the Wolves roster I trust to consistently play smart, hard and effectively: Rudy, Donte, NAW and Naz. That’s only half our 8-man rotation and only one of those four is among our starting five. So it’s no wonder we’re only two games ov...

Wolves v. Heat Game Report

OK guys. I know I’ve been pretty elusive lately. Tonight was the first game I’ve been to this season. I’ve been busy with work but mostly it’s the fact that I have a bad back that’s turned really bad, causing sciatica and making it difficult to get to games. I’ll probably be getting back surgery soo...

Re: When will Dillingham play?

Conley is only playing 24 MPG and is a borderline token starter in that DDV is averaging more MPG and NAW barely plays less. So this isn't an issue of keeping Conley fresh, as we have two very deserving bench guards that Finch is really leaning into right now. Hopefully DDV finds his shot! I agree ...
